题目 In recent years,the International Space Field set off a new round of exploration craze,hoping to further master the space secrets and resources.Countries are busy developing rockets and satellites,developing manned space technology,formulating plans to explore the moon and...
In the same work area as the Shooting Star modules, Sierra Space engineers are also working on the Large Integrated Flexible Environment (LIFE) habitat. A key aspect of that project is evaluating and testing the use of softgoods to fashion expandable structures using Vectran, a weave of high-...
It's unknown if this final portion of the mission will be fruitless or fruitful. But it promises to be a profoundly long endeavor: Voyager 1 won't pass near another solar system for another 40,000 years. This story has been updated to include the latest information about Voyager 1. ...
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...
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...
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...
On Earth that usually isn't a problem because plants absorb CO2. 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 byprod...
followed by separation of the rocket stages and a view of a Gemini spacecraft in orbit. Twelve Gemini missions conducted in the mid-1960s provided NASA engineers and astronauts with information about spacecraft maneuvering, rendezvous, and docking and about the long-duration performance of humans ...
Engineers estimate the canister holds 250 grams (8.82 ounces) of material from Bennu, plus or minus 100 grams (3.53 ounces). Even at the low end, it will easily surpass the minimum requirement of the mission, Lauretta said. It will take a few weeks to...
Odysseus’ descent won’t go exactly as Intuitive Machines previously mapped out. “This is a dynamic situation … We’ll update you later in the broadcast,” said Gary Jordan, a communication manager at NASA, on the livestream. Jordan added that an engine burn the company chose to execute...
