And another story is this: During the design ofSoyuz-1, the thickness of the heat shield was increased, and so the weight of the spacecraft went up. Engineers increased the size of the main parachute accordingly. But the compartment that it was to be stored in remained the same size. Th...
Launch vehicles that can take off from and land on runways have long been a dream for space engineers and enthusiasts, but have never gotten off the ground. John Hollaway describes why they remain essential and how they might be developed.Monday, May 13, 2024 Review: Alien Earths Astronomers...
SpaceX engineers had hoped to improve on the Starship's two past performances, which both ended in explosions minutes after launch. However, the company had acknowledged in advance a high probability that its latest flight might similarly end with the spacecr...
As of August 2013, the engineers apparently found an ingenious solution to the "toilet" issue. A highly portable latrine unit would be stored in the cargo area of the crew capsule during the launch, however immediately after reaching orbit, the crew would move it to a "far corner" of the...
On the other side of the planet, at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Russian engineers launched the Progress MS-26/67P cargo ship at 10:25 p.m. EST, kicking off a two-day flight to the International Space Station. The Progress is loaded with 5,500 pounds of cargo, including 3,...
Yet gardening space is limited on the ISS, which forced engineers to devise other means of removing excess carbon dioxide. After the electrolysis process kicks in, some of the hydrogen reacts with the accumulating CO2. A byproduct of this interaction is methane gas, which gets vented into ...
The company said the upcoming test flight aims to build on what SpaceX engineers learned from the previous launches “while attempting a number of ambitious objectives, including the successful ascent burn of both stages, opening and closing Starship’s payload door, a propellant transfer demonstratio...

Defusing the North Sea’s Graveyard of Bombs Can NASA’s New X-Plane Finally Hush Sonic Booms? China Just Unveiled Two Sixth-Gen Fighter Jets Is This the Solution to UAP Confusion for Pilots? Why AGM Car Batteries Are The Future
(ELF). ELF allows safe thermophysical research in microgravity, providing scientists and engineers the opportunity to observe what happens to materials exposed to high temperatures in the space environment. With assistance from Flight Engineer Loral O’Hara ofNASA, Furukawa retrieved ELF, and then ...
