Earth is probably in a safe zone that's far enough away from a black hole that we won't risk being sucked in by it. But we just aren't entirely sure because of, well,the color of black holes; it's hard to observe black objects against the darkness of space. Also...
Simulation of the advanced flight control systems is the key to safe flights on Mars, but this requires accurate aerodynamic data. Flight on Mars may be theoretically possible, but will there be enough control to let it succeed?An illustration of NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter flying on Mars. ...
These notifications primarily go to students who are already considered “safe bets” for the college, leaving many deserving applicants in the dark. This can exacerbate anxieties for those who don’t receive one, potentially leading them to question their chances of admission. Frequently Asked ...
The astronauts had to be able to reach a safe landing area with rescue personnel standing by. For other types of flights, including interplanetary exploration, the launch window must permit the flight to take the most efficient course to its very distant destination. If weather is bad or a ...
A jarring, supersonic parachute inflation further slowed the descent, giving way to deployment of a rocket-powered “sky crane” vehicle that flew to a safe landing spot, lowered the rover on tethers, then flew off to crash a safe distance away. Article content A full scale model of the ...

NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS NASA has big goals for Mars. It wants to collect thefirst-ever samplesfrom the Martian surface and deliver them back to Earth in an ambitious mission called Mars Sample Return. But even in its development phase, the mission hasrun into problems. With a ballooning budg...
Give your family or yourself the gift of going where no human has been before, and know that thanks to Celestis’ use of Titanium 5, your DNA or data mission is infinitely safe and protected from the harsh elements of deep space.Spots are still open on ourEnterprise Flight, sl...
“But it also provides some challenges because the scientists want us to hit the asteroid at a certain moment in time and at a certain location, so that the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft can be sure to monitor the results from a safe vantage point. It is a challenge but it’s also really ...
