Science and technology, explained simply
A new video published by the agency shows the Orion spacecraft re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere at a speed of 11 kilometers per second, which is 32 times the speed of sound. The footage was shot as part of the Artemis-1 mission last year and became one of the most impressive of the entire year. A […]
India plans to establish its own base on the Moon by 2050, Space reports. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has presented a strategic roadmap to achieve this goal. The plan builds on India’s recent achievements in lunar exploration and progress in implementing plans for human spaceflight. India became the fifth country to make a […]
Recently, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration showed the first image of a habitation module that could become the first permanent human base on the Moon. The module is called Multi-Purpose Habitat (MPH). The “multi-purpose habitat”, which looks like a ten-meter-long cylindrical structure with telescopic supports and solar panels, was developed by the Franco-Italian […]
An unidentified object called WE0913A, which collided with the back of the Moon in March 2022, turned out to be part of a Chinese Long March launch vehicle. At first, it was mistaken for a part of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Then the object attracted the attention of scientists from the University of Arizona, […]
One of the problems associated with lunar missions is fine dust or regolith. Once in a low-gravity environment, tiny charged particles hang in space and pose a serious danger to the operation of Earth’s mechanisms. New research has shown that regolith can be turned into smooth roads by directing a laser at it. The strength […]
One of the biggest challenges for space agencies planning to establish bases on the Moon is dust. After all, it damages spacesuits, clogs mechanisms, interferes with the operation of scientific instruments, and makes it difficult to move. This is stated in a study published in the journal Scientific Reports. Scientists have discovered a possible solution […]
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 […]
The Italian fashion house Prada will team up with the American company Axiom Space to develop spacesuits for the Artemis III mission. This was reported by the Axiom Space press service. The NASA mission crew is scheduled to land on the Moon in 2025. “Prada’s ever-forward-thinking spirit for humanity has expanded to include its desire […]
A photo of the “grave” of the Russian station was published. The U.S. National Space Agency (NASA) has published fresh images of the moon’s surface, which showed the appearance of a new crater. According to scientists, this crater could have been caused by the crash of the Russian Luna-25 spacecraft. A message about this observation […]
Following the successful landing of the Chandrayaan-3 mission on the Moon, the Indian Space Research and Development Organization (ISRO) has released the first photo of the Earth’s satellite. ISRO announced this on the social network X. The image shows part of the Chandrayaan-3 landing site, as well as the leg and shadow of the lander. […]
