Landing on the moon’s far side is 62extremelychallenging. Because the moon’s body blocks direct radio communication with a probe, China first had to put a satellite in orbit above the moon in a spot 63where it could send signals to the spacecraft and to Earth. The far side of the m...
Interesting that China plans to put a "lunar landing stack" into lunar orbit with a second rocket. So presumably, the descent stage will not be reusable. I wonder if the ascent stage will be reusable. That would probably require in-space refueling, which does not seem to be part of ...
To learn about dinosaurs, researchers have to study physical clues and put these clues into the context of current scientific knowledge. This can be a tricky process. There were no humans on Earth when dinosaurs lived, so there are no written records or illustrations of how they behaved or wh...
which means they drift east and west over a fixed point on the surface during the course of a full orbit. Some have orbits that are not aligned with Earth’s equator. These orbital paths are said to have degrees ofinclination. It also means the satellite’s path will take it north and...
The central portion has four powerful antennas for transmitting internet signals, while a large solar array provides power. Each satellite uses a set of lasers to connect with four other satellites in orbit. They also have ion thrusters that use krypton gas to stay in orbit. How long do ...
n-1 one less than the satellite number n of its own orbit plane to form a network of ring-shaped figure-8 can be connected to the satellite, to configure the Manhattan street network by the network of satellite orbital plane connection between the network and of each satellite orbit plane....
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) produced its first topographic map in 1879, and it still produces them today. Developments in aerial photography and satellite imaging make these maps much more accurate and efficient to produce than in the days when they were created by hand. When the ...

Step 3 - Deploying the satellite Situating the satellite in orbit Decouple the satellite from the final stage of the main rocket Extend all antennas, solar panels and thermal control systems on the satellite (if they were added) If a remote control unit was added to the rocket body, switch ...
A special NASA satellite called theLong Duration Exposure Facility(LDEF) was put in orbit to study the long-term effects of collisions with space junk. The space shuttle Challenger deployed LDEF in April 1984, and the space shuttle Columbia retrieved it in January 1990. Over its nearly six-...
