and we're gonna ride that rocket for eight minutes into Earth orbit. We're not going to go to the moon right away. We're gonna stay in an
— Artemis 1's Orion beams 1st image of Earth home — NASA's daring Artemis 1 'Red Crew' saved the day for the launch to the moon. Here's how. — Artemis 1 launch success makes NASA's SLS the most powerful rocket ever to fly So far, Artemis 1 has met its bench...
NASA calls off its Artemis 1 moon rocket launch due to hydrogen leak NASA scrubbed its second attempt to launch its Artemis 1 test flight on a mission to send an unpiloted capsule on a 37-day trip around the moon and back. Sep 3, 2022 NASA preps Artemis moon rocket for second laun...
NASA has completed stacking of the agency’s mega-Moon rocket and spacecraft that will launch the next generation of deep space operations, including Artemis missions on and around the Moon. Engineers and technicians successfully secured the Orion spacecraft atop the fully assemble...
Later this year ESA will formally transfer ownership of the European Service Module to NASA and the spacecraft will move into the ground system phase where it will be united with theSLSrocket for a lift-off to the Moon. A look at the elements that make up the European service module that...
s SpaceX had done a very good job of decreasing the cost of getting satellites into orbit. A Falcon 9 launch was still around $100 million, but satellites were much smaller and it was now possible to put many in space on the same rocket. Where Teledesic was projected to...
"You can see Artemis here, maybe it looks like she is in a space helmet," said Bridenstine. "It looks like her hair is coming around the corner here — that actually could be a rocket trajectory, and, of course, that rocket trajectory could be heading off to the moon itself." ...
Over the past 20 years, researchers have developed a consistent picture of the physics of rocket exhaust blowing lunar soil, "but significant gaps exist," Metzger said. "No currently available modeling method can fully predict the effects. However, the basics are understood well enough to begin ...
Mission managers said one of the rocket’s four engines could not reach the proper temperature range that is required for the engine to start at liftoff. Several other issues, including storms and a hydrogen leak, also caused delays that prevented liftoff during Monday’s launch win...
in the words of Tom Wolfe in The Right Stuff (1979), to sit “on top of an enormous Roman candle, such as a Redstone, Atlas, Titan or Saturn rocket, and wait for someone to light the fuse.” It perhaps also explains why space exploration has been a common and enduring theme in li...
