"He was trying to fix an antenna that had broken," said Ed Kellond-Turner from the UK Space Centre.Mr Reisman needed to connect two power cords in order to warm up the antennae - but while floating out in space, he struck a problem.Both ends of the cable were the same size - one ...
Are we going to mine all that metal, or build a giant space magnet? 我们将会开采那里的金属,还是制作一个巨型太空磁铁? Actually, the real reason is right under our feet. 其实,真正原因就在我们脚下。 The core of the Earth is thought to consist of a solid nickel-iron center with a molten...
To mark the occasion, NASA expert Taylor Hutchison spoke to Space.com about the impact the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)has had on science in its first 12 months. The astrophysicist also explained what could be forthcoming from the JWST during its second year of operations. ...
Have you been awed by views of desolate Martian Valleys, swirling storms above Jupiter, and the icy blades ringing Saturn? Then you have journeyed with NASA JPL spacecraft and rovers. Our missions have flown to every planet and the Sun in a quest to understand our place in the universe, ...
NASAis gearing up for an exciting launch with SPHEREx, a space telescope designed to uncover the history of the universe while searching for signs of life. Hitching a ride on the same rocket, the PUNCH mission will peer into the Sun’s outer layers to study solar wind. ...
Engineers are also working to find ways to protect the device's sensitive electronics system from the effects of microgravity and radiation that exist in space. 工程师们也在努力寻找保护该设备敏感电子系统免受太空微重力和辐射影响的方法。 I...
In an orbit this close to the Sun, the real challenge is to keep the spacecraft from burning up. According to NASA, the heat shield is made of a 4.5-inch thick carbon composite foam material between two carbon fiber face sheets.
