1. NASA X-43 The X-43, an experimental aircraft, holds the distinction of being not only the fastest fighter jet but the fastest aircraft ever built period, having achieved a top speed of Mach 9.6. As part of a $230 million Hyper-X program, the National Aeronautics and Space Administra...
NASA further revealed that the asteroid is travelling around the Sun in its orbit at a menacing speed of approximately 101885 kilometers per hour. This is much faster even a space shuttle! It is one of the two asteroids that have b...
with the Body Unit circled. It is next to the RSM side of the rover to minimize the length of the fiber that transfers the optical signal from the mast unit. The rover’s instrument and electronics bay is1181×1106mm(length, left-right, x width) ...

The top line of region 2 corresponds to open water surface. The bottom line of region 1 defines another limit of possible values of physical and structural parameters of the surface layer (temperature, wetness, density, porosity, etc.). At a certain ice concentration, values of the three ...
2:44 a.m. 5:38:43, May 31, 2020 Weather is: GO! From CNN Business' Jackie Wattles Mother Nature appears to be on SpaceX’s side today. The launch teams just finished the initial “go/no-go” poll, and it’s all systems go. ...
The photo was taken inside mission control at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. The team is reflected in a monitor, which showed real-time data of Perseverance's position and configuration, including altitude, velocity, speed, acceleration and fuel. (Image credit:...
Even at the speed of light, it takes 13 minutes for a signal to travel to the spacecraft and back. The last regular contact with the spacecraft was on April 4. The spacecraft was in good health and operating as expected. Kepler completed its prime mission in 2012, detecting nearly 5,...
As they get closer to runway 23, a long strip of the dry lake bed, the nose is pitched up to 1.5ª in a flare manuever to bleed off speed and get the orbiter on the correct attitude for landing. With the chase planes still following close behind, Columbia lowered her landing...
“secondary cosmic rays,” produced by the crash of primary cosmic rays into Earth’s upper atmosphere. They trace radiation percolating down toward our planet’s surface. The energy range of the sensors, 10 keV to 20 MeV, is similar to that of medical X-ray machines and airport security ...
