Science and technology, explained simply
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) expects the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) to fall to Earth this weekend or early next week. The exact location of the fall has not yet been determined. The satellite was launched into low Earth orbit by the space shuttle Challenger in 1984. The task of ERBS was […]
Taiwan is looking for investors to help it build its own satellite Internet system, similar to the Starlink system that played an important role during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This should help it defend against a possible attack by China, the Financial Times reports, citing its own sources. Talks are currently underway with several […]
On January 3, during the Transporter-6 mission, SpaceX launched into space not only the Ukrainian nanosatellite PolyITAN-HP-30, but also the first satellite of the EOSDA constellation of the EOS Data Analytics company. It is a product company operating in the field of commercial space, with a head office in the USA and development centers in […]
EOS Data Analytics launched EOS SAT-1, the first satellite of its EOS SAT constellation, on January 3, 2023. On January 4, 2023, EOS SAT-1, the first satellite of EOS SAT, the world’s first agriculture-focused satellite group, was successfully launched into low Earth orbit by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from the US Space Force Base […]
A Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Starlink 5-1 satellite cluster — the first generation 2 (Gen2) of SpaceX’s internet satellites — is scheduled to launch at 4:30 a.m. ET (11:30 a.m. ET) from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in coastal Florida. . You can watch the launch live in the header of this article, […]
Christmas was first celebrated in space 54 years ago. Back in 1968, the astronauts of the Apollo 8 lunar mission became the first people to celebrate Christmas in space. Since then, this tradition has been a very important part of the astronauts’ recreation, now on the ISS. The Daily Mail has collected the most interesting […]
The James Webb Telescope has received new images of the galaxy NGC 7469. This galaxy with an active black hole at its center is ideally located for observation — its entire plane is extended toward Earth. But the special Christmas charm of the picture was given by the image defects caused by the stretching of […]
NASA is hatching plans to restart the Hubble space observatory. The equipment of the telescope, which has been in orbit for more than 30 years, needs repair and maintenance, and there is also the question of raising the orbit of the observatory. By 2025, Hubble’s orbit will decrease to 500 km, and its support will […]
Physicists from the University of Rochester set themselves the task of developing a practical method of creating a space in space in which people could live peacefully without the costly launch of the necessary materials from Earth. A paper in the journal Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, which the researchers called “wildly theoretical,” explores […]
Since landing on Mars in February 2021, Perseverance has been collecting samples of the Red Planet’s dust, rocks and even air. Some of them are analyzed by the rover independently, others are collected in special titanium tubes to be sent to Earth in the future. The mission, called Mars Sample Return, is still in the […]
