However, such images are rare because the Sun appears much closer to Earth from a great distance, increasing the risk of damaging space camera sensors. Nonetheless, the Cassini spacecraft captured this stunning image when the Sun was behind Saturn. Cassini is a joint project of NASA and ESA ...
Thank you so so so much for creating this amazingly designed and well informed app, thanks to you guys I always am on the right time for the live broadcasts from the ISS and not to mention all the launches and images, I LOVE this app, I am crazy for space and my dream is to work...
Without the assistance of on-scene investigators or live footage of the crash, NASA was unable to determine what went wrong. Using what little information the space agency has, though, engineers believe they have pieced together a timeline....
3-D-Printed Space CameraNew imaging instruments made using laser-based 3-D printing could bring the benefits of such technology to the forefront. NASA aerospace engineer Jason Budinoff is developing a 350-mm dual-channel imaging telescope and a 50-mm camera whose outer tube, baffles and ...

Each satellite carries a camera, which acts like a synchronized, single, virtual instrument with a largely uninterrupted view of the sun. The cameras are equipped with polarizing filters, similar to polarized s
They are real, functioning HVAC units that must actually work in outer space. Space exploration heat pumps (and their counterparts here on earth) share the same refrigeration cycle principles as well as components, such as evaporators, condensers, compressors, etc. However, designing heat pumps ...
