Science and technology, explained simply
SpaceX has finally sent a Cargo Dragon cargo ship to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission was supposed to take place last week. The postponement is due to bad weather. The ship was sent into space using a Falcon 9 rocket, which was launched from Launch Complex 39A at Cape Canaveral, Florida. After about […]
Space equipment collects the sun’s rays, converts them into electricity, and then sends them over a long distance in the form of ultra-precise microwaves. For the first time in history, researchers from the California Institute of Technology (CalTech) were able to transmit solar energy from space to Earth without wires. They reported on their experiment […]
Last week, the second crew of private space tourists from Axiom Space (Ax-2) on the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station for an eight-day vacation. This morning, the crew returned to Earth. But staying in microgravity was not very pleasant for some space tourists. NASA hinted that the crew had difficulties […]
The four astronauts who participated in the private space mission Ax-2 returned to Earth from the ISS today at 06:04 Kyiv time (03:04 GMT), completing a ten-day trip that included eight days on the space station. The capsule, named Freedom, was floated in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida. The mission was […]
The American company SpaceX plans to launch three more batches of mini-satellites into orbit by the end of May to replenish the orbital grouping of the global Internet coverage network Starlink. This follows from the data of the specialized publication Spaceflight Now. In May, SpaceX has already launched two Starlink Internet satellites. The last one […]
In a new study, nearly 1,000 scientists from around the world agreed on the issue of meat-free eating and its health benefits. In recent decades, vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters have been actively defending their position and trying to prove to the world that their choice is healthier. Scientists have conducted hundreds of studies on […]
So far, the company has shown the design of only one module of the space station, but it is very interesting. In 2030, the International Space Station will end its operation. That is why NASA is actively working with private contractors to create its successors to the ISS. Currently, the main players in this market […]
Elon Musk has revealed some information about the first orbital flight of the Starship rocket system. As it turned out, the explosion was delayed. SpaceX launched the Starship spacecraft with a Super Heavy rocket (in both cases, prototypes were used) on April 20. The test went wrong from the very beginning. During the launch, the […]
SpaceX waited for the right weather conditions and sent three satellites into space using a Falcon Heavy. This is only the sixth mission in the history of Elon Musk’s big rocket. Over the weekend, we wrote that SpaceX had postponed the launch of the mission due to dense fog. The Falcon Heavy was launched on […]
SpaceX has finally sent a new batch of Starlink satellites into orbit. 46 spacecraft were launched only on the third attempt. The launch was originally scheduled for April 25, but had to be postponed to April 26. Then the launch was postponed for another day. On April 27, despite the thick fog, the Falcon 9 […]
