I argue that knowledge of the roles of MEXT and the Cabinet Office in space policy, and the tension between the two organizations, is key to understanding Japan's future space policy decision-making process. By tracing the history of Japanese space policy since 2001, I also suggest that if...
John Charles, then chief scientist of NASA’s Human Research Program, told me that ground-based vertical-axis rotating room tests may not be relevant for estimating the response to the spin of orbiting AG facilities. He said that in rotating rooms, the spin axis aligns with gravity, but in ...
The amount of drag is proportional to the airspeed of the hang glider: The faster the glider moves, the more drag it creates (see How Gliders Work for details). How a pilot maneuvers a hang glider As with soarplane gliders, the balance of these three forces (lift, drag, gravity) ...
“Our findings take us closer to solving a long-standing mystery in astronomy that will redefine our understanding of how galaxies were created in the early universe.” Advancements in Galactic Observations The study, published inNature, was a collaboration between Southampton, the Purple Mountain Obs...
In the zero-gravity environment of the ISS, the pieces need to be secured or they would float away, though lost pieces could usually be found relatively easily, not on a floor or under a couch as on Earth, but in the space station’s air filters....
In the case of loop quantum gravity, the singularity is replaced with a finite-size chunk of space-time. Instring theory, meanwhile, our universe originates from a "landscape" of possible universes. It's also possible that our Big Bang exists as just one of an infinite series of universes...
this massive object (like the moon next to Earth) it is "sucked in" sort of, by the curvature of spacetime, though of course the moon contracts spacetime around it as well. At this point, we can reasonably still conclude that in 3-d, mass leads to curvature which leads to gravity. ...
Major decisions are forthcoming on how to create the infrastructure needifEarth's celestial partner is to become a major thoroughfare and keep up any long-term human habitation there. You may like There are 3 private lunar landers headed to the moon right now — a 1st in space history ...
It’s called the anti-gravity phone case and it has a nano-suction material on the back of the case where you can stick it on windows. You can stick it on mirrors. It’s great for people doing makeup. People cooking. That will stick to the cabinet. These are the great functions. ...
The key to the successful deployment of robots in space is honing their abilities to be reliable in the unique environment of zero gravity. Also, the parts that make up a robot must be capable of fulfilling the myriad tasks required of space exploration. ...
