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 explaine
Artemis 2 moon mission hardware building up at NASA centers A part of a booster that will bring Artemis 2 into space for its 2024 moon mission, alongside NASA's powerful Space Launch System. Here, engineers and technicians process the right forward center segment of the solid rocket booster in...
The turbine operators, who own and manage the turbines, rely on third-party service engineers for maintenance and operational support. Additionally, an insurance partner plays a crucial role in mitigating risks by offering insurance services to protect the interests of the turbine operators against ...
First, human engineers specify technical requirements such as the load the finished structure will have to carry and what forces it will be exposed to in space. Then, they enter the requirements into software that can spit out myriad design iterations in a matter of hours. “The user enters ...
These trends suggest that the importance of space will increase with various careers available for engineers with degrees in astronautics. Today, there are the total of 68 ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science degrees in the areas of aeronautical, astronautical, and aerospace engineering in the United ...
The THEMIS Data Analysis System (TDAS) relied heavily on legacy software but introduced (through a critical mass of software engineers) a regimen of quality assurance, suite-testing, version control, and backwards compatibility testing (subject to CDF and IDL version constraints), strong ties with ...
The main problem with landing on the far side of the moon is communication. There is no clear line of sight between the far side of the moon and the Earth. This normally makes radio communication with spacecraft on the far side of the moon impossible. Chinese engineers came up with a un...
“Training satellite engineering or wireless communication engineers without a satellite ground station is like teaching someone to drive without providing a car”. This statement might be appropriate to highlight the importance of this research. Even though satellite communication and wireless communication...
Different space agencies rely on codes developed by their national engineers that are tailored to their specific needs. Despite similar applications, these codes differ in aspects such as energy range and types of projectiles considered. A variety of software options can be found in the literature:...
