You interact with Kaizen using your keyboard, and sometimes it'll be willing to help you. But then it'll change its mind and decide the best thing to do is close the airlock and trap you outside the ship until you run out of air. A clever adventure with the understated mood of a ...
SpaceX engineers and fans watched live as the blistering heat of reentry nearly ate through the Starship spacecraft before it splashed down as planned in the Indian Ocean, completing a successful test flight. June 6, 2024 10:23am EDT
o Nov 19-22 — Japanese Rocket Society, American Astronautical Society, Chinese Society of Astronautics, Obihiro, Japan: 16th International Space Conference of Pacific-basin Societies (ISCOPS); space decision-makers, experts, engineers and scientists discuss “DO Actions for Game Changing in Space Ex...
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 3,2...
And if fabrics are one problem, machines are clearly another. “Engineers will have to be careful to keep regolith out of rotary joints or sliding surfaces,” says Brad Buckles, a colleague of Gelino’s. “Abrasion has been an issue with the 3D printer we use. It’s very rough on the...
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...
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. ...
All four worked as test engineers at the DLR while they were still studying. They then started HyImpulse in 2018 with about $2.9 million in funding from the EU; further investment was provided by Prof. Rudolf Schwarz from the Technical University of Munich....
German space and technology group OHB will develop a 3D printer prototype for the ISS for large part production using high-strength and functional thermoplastics. The undertaking is part of the IMPERIAL project, aiming to design, develop, and test a 3D printer model that alleviates build volume ...
The new camera equipment includes 13 Z9 camera bodies, 15 FTZ II adapters for connecting older F-mount Nikkor lenses, and more than 15 Nikkor Z lenses, including super-telephoto and macro lenses. While the Nikon cameras aboard the ISS have not been physically modified, engineers have worked...
