Along with millions of Chinese who witnessed both missions' take off, Cai said the launches have been tense, exciting moments that are huge sources of pride. The power systems are what Cai called the "heart-pumps" of the entire mission. The engineers had to cram the power genera...
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...
In 2003, engineers from Germany and Switzerland began building a bridge across the Rhine River simultaneously from both sides. Months into construction, they found that the two sides did not meet. The German side hovered 54 centimeters above the Swiss side. The misalignment occu...
Mission specialist Jeremy Hansen:"Our scientists or engineers, the Canadian Space Agency, the Canadian Armed Forces across government, all of our leadership working together under a vision to take step by step and all of those have added up to this moment where a Canadian is going to the moon...
Then, engineers wouldn’t have to decommission satellites as often into graveyard orbit, allow them to burn up in earth’s atmosphere, or direct them to the “spacecraft cemetery” in the Pacific Ocean. Extending the life of a satellite with less expensive upgrades and modifications delivers a...
In fact, the burn was more successful than originally planned. SpaceX engineers initially calculated the Tesla would end up in an orbit around the sun with a high point around the distance of Mars' orbit and a low point close to the orbit of Earth. But the second stage apparently fired ...
Engineers can thus start experimenting and jump on the bandwagon early. It’s why ST and Kinéis organized a webinar last February and are preparing another one for April 18. It also explains why both companies work to bring the solution to the STM32WL. Kinéis’ stack is already available...
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...
