Science and technology, explained simply
NASA will soon begin testing the Dream Chaser, the first commercial spaceplane capable of orbital flight. The aircraft will be used to replenish supplies at the International Space Station. Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser will be an alternative to SpaceX’s spacecraft. The aircraft will be tested at NASA’s Ohio Test Site for one to three months. […]
Scientists from NASA’s George Marshall Space Flight Center have shown some eerie images captured by their cameras watching meteors in the night sky. NASA has shared a series of mysterious and spooky images for Halloween. Some of them are very easy to solve, for example, one of the pictures clearly shows a frog. The rest, […]
On the night of Halloween, NASA collected twelve photos of space objects in which they look like ghosts, witches, ghouls, zombies, and Halloween pumpkins. You can get scared together thanks to Space.com. The face of a ghost on Jupiter NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured a terrifying “face” on Jupiter during a recent flyby of the giant […]
Soon, NASA will demonstrate a laser communication system between ground objects and the International Space Station (ISS). This technology will increase the data transfer rate by 100 times compared to current capabilities, paving the way for a new standard of communication in deep space. The system is known as the Integrated Laser Communications Relay Demonstration […]
NASA has shown how it is assembling the first lunar spacecraft for astronauts in 50 years, the Orion, for the Artemis 2 project, which is scheduled to fly around the moon in 2024 with a crew of four. On October 19, the spacecraft was connected to the service module. In the future, it will undergo […]
One of the key trends in the space industry is to reduce the cost of sending crews and payloads into space by using new technologies and processes. Space agencies are striving to find new ways to make missions more cost-effective. NASA has successfully tested an aluminum rocket engine nozzle made using the 3D printing process. […]
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration has presented the results of the first analysis of a soil sample collected as part of the OSIRIS-REx mission from the asteroid Bennu. At NASA’s Space Center in Houston, scientists showed the sample two weeks after the capsule arrived in the Utah desert. First, the cargo was checked […]
A leak occurred in the Russian module attached to the International Space Station, which led to the release of liquid into space. This coolant leak is the third major leak from the Russian spacecraft to occur on the ISS in the last 12 months. In December, NASA had to postpone a spacewalk after a coolant […]
For a long time, science fiction was filled with stories about humanity living in houses on the Moon. Although it may seem unbelievable, NASA plans to create 3D-printed houses on the moon that will be inhabited by both astronauts and ordinary citizens by 2040. According to a New York Times report, which interviewed seven NASA […]
At the end of the decade, the International Space Station (ISS) will reach the end of its useful life. This human creation has been orbiting our planet for more than two decades. So, last year, NASA announced that it was accepting applications for the construction of a new space station. The International Space Station (ISS) […]
