Ever since the instrument of India’s Chandrayaan 1 mission detected water molecules almost 15 years ago, the search for ice at the poles has been a priority in the study of the moon. NASA has now begun assembling a breakthrough instrument, the VIPER lunar rover, ArsTechnica reports. NASA started building VIPER rover to search for […]
NASA has started qualification tests of the engine for the Lunar Gateway station. In the coming years, it will orbit the Moon as part of the Artemis program. The developer of the powerplant is Aerojet Rocketdyne. The electric rocket motor has a power of 12 kW, making it the most powerful unit of this class […]
On Tuesday, the vehicle, which will replace the previous Astrovan cars, appeared at the Kennedy Space Center. Canoo, an electric vehicle startup, has developed a fleet of three electric vans that will transport 4 Artemis astronauts, support staff and equipment to Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA will also use […]
By the end of the year, the X-59 QueSST experimental aircraft is to make its first test flight. NASA has published several photos of the aircraft in preparation for the upcoming test. The X-59 QueSST is equipped with a 4-meter-long powerplant with a thrust of 10,000 kg. The space agency believes that the engine will […]
Scientists have obtained an image of the ESO 174-1 object. It is an irregular galaxy located not far from us, according to the NASA website. What is known ESO 174-1 is located 11 million light years from Earth. On a galactic scale, it can be considered a neighbor of the Milky Way. The photographed galaxy […]
In early summer, NASA used the James Webb Space Observatory to observe Saturn. Unusual photos of the sixth planet from the Sun were published on the James Webb Space Telescope Feed website. You can see Saturn in an unusual way thanks to the publication of raw photos taken by the space telescope. The black-and-white executions […]
NASA is developing a system that will allow astronauts to perform maneuvers and conduct experiments using a natural language chatbot interface. What is known “ The idea is to get to a point where we communicate with spacecraft and they report back to us about alerts and interesting findings in the solar system and beyond,” […]
NASA has selected companies to participate in the Collaborations for Commercial Space Capabilities-2 (CCSC) program, which aims to develop new commercial space stations and technologies in low Earth orbit (LEO). The first iteration of the CCSC was launched in December 2014, when the agency signed contracts with ATK, Final Frontier Design, SpaceX and United Launch […]
