Science and technology, explained simply
NASA has released an enhanced, detailed interactive Eyes on the Solar System with the ability to rewind time and watch the motion of the planets in real time. An updated version of NASA’s 3D map of the Solar System is now available on Eyes on the Solar System. Specialists have been developing this update for […]
The James Webb Space Telescope of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States was used by astronomers for the first time to obtain images of a planet outside the Solar System. The announcement was published on the official website of the aerospace department. ‘For the first time, astronomers used NASA’s James […]
The Perseverance rover and the data it gathered about the Martian atmosphere and how sounds travel in it helped NASA create a program that turns the voice into a ‘Martian.’ This service makes it possible to hear how your voice would sound on the Red Planet. To do this, you need to record any phrase, […]
The NASA space agency announced the postponement of the launch of the Crew-5 mission. The launch was originally scheduled for early September, but now the agency says the launch of the Crew-5 mission will not happen until September 29. The spacecraft is to deliver NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, JAXA astronaut Koichi Wakata […]
NASA’s CAPSTONE mission is progressing with mixed success. After the successful launch of the Rocket Lab Electron rocket and the launch of the satellite into space, the mission was met with failure. After launch, CAPSTONE spent almost a week in orbit around the planet to gain enough momentum to travel to the Moon. But shortly […]
The NASA space agency announced new dates for the possible launch of a rocket as part of the Artemis 1 lunar mission. This was reported by NASA Space Flight. “Following a successful dress rehearsal, NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) returned the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket to the vehicle assembly site for the final time […]
The flights of the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) with a 2.7-meter infrared telescope based on the Boeing 747 will end on September 30. The profitability of SOFIA has raised questions for several years: NASA spends $85 million a year on this observatory. This is more than any other astrophysical mission except the Hubble […]
The NASA Perseverance rover captured rare footage of a satellite of Mars Phobos crossing the visible surface of the Sun. These observations may help scientists better understand the moon’s orbit and how its gravity affects the Martian surface, forming the crust and mantle of the Red Planet. The solar eclipse captured by the Perseverance Mastcam-Z […]
The Martian helicopter Ingenuity successfully made its 25th flight over the surface of the Red Planet. The launch took place last week on Friday. The helicopter set a new record for range as well as speed, according to the Ingenuity team from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. According to NASA, on April 8 Ingenuity flew, moving […]
On April 8, SpaceX launched its Crew Dragon Endeavor manned spacecraft with private astronauts on board to the International Space Station (ISS). The flight is organized by Axiom Space, a startup that bookings from SpaceX and coordinates ISS flights with NASA for anyone who can afford it. The multinational crew of the Ax-1 mission is […]
