The planets of the solar system can still be managed on a flat map, though not as easily. The planets are all pretty close to the plane of the ecliptic, except for that pesky Pluto. But comets do not map well at all. On a broad scale, you can sort of manage to map the entire ...

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-...
To keep five instruments alive, engineers have turned off heaters and other elements. In 2022, NASA hoped such energy preservation could "keep the two spacecraft operating and returning unique science beyond 2025." As of 2023, the space agency announced more power-saving efforts: "The move ...
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...
Our aerospace site in Ottobrunn/Taufkirchen, near Munich, has not only shaped the history of cutting-edge technology over the last 60 years, it is also actively shaping the future. Today, our solar array production for satellites marks our entry into the age of Industry 4.0, with the site ...
