The thermal impulse printer system (TIPS) is ahigh speed gray shade recorder employing a fixed thermal head to produce hard copies of line scan or raster scan information. It replaces the teleprinter and text and graphics systems previously flown on the shuttle. The TIPS thermal head reproduces...

It's a rare species of sprite discovered in 1990 by cameras onboard the space shuttle. Binotto may have just taken the best ever picture of one from the ground. "The ELVE was generated by intense lightning in a storm near Ancona about 285 km south of me," says Binotto. One bolt was...
The International Space Station (ISS) orbited at an even lower at 330 km by 410 km during the Space Shuttle era, but the orbit was carefully monitored and given a reboost with each Shuttle resupply mission. The low orbit was due to the Shuttle carrying up massive components to the statio...
Neil Armstrong made history when he stepped onto the moon. Then some of the dust he carried back vanished.
David Black by the space shuttle Discovery at the National Air and Space Museum Udvar-Hazy Center; July 2022. By the middle of last summer it was apparent that the proposal writing process was harder than I had anticipated and required setting aside enough time each day for thinking and ponde...
From far away, this lamp looks like an actual space shuttle ready to blast off, but up close, it’s a thin, completely flat acrylic sheet. This lamp would be a great addition to your child’s space-themed room, and could double as a nightlight when it gets dark. It comes in 16 ch...
Cutaway diagram of the Hubble Space Telescope, with components labeled. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center Hubble is 43.5 feet long (13.2 m) and 14 feet wide (4.2 m) at the back, where the scientific instruments are housed. Weighing about 27,000 pounds (12,246 kg), the telescop...
On September 2 2009, the complete EuTEF platform with EXPOSE-E was recovered and directly stowed in the cargo bay of the Discovery Space Shuttle (STS 128) for return to Earth. During the 18 months (547 days) of exposure in space, samples were submitted to 1300 to 2500 hours of ...
This is a cutaway diagram of the Hubble Space Telescope, with components labeled. The forward shell houses the telescope’s optical assembly. In the middle of the telescope are the reaction wheels and the bays that house the observatory’s control electronics. The aft shroud houses the scientific...
