House of Representatives' Committee on Science, Space and Technology on Jan. 17. New, or newly important, players could make a big name for themselves in the coming years as well. India is one obvious candidate — among other ambitious goals, it aims to start launching people in the next...
However, rooting your device is not an easy task. It all comes at a price. For the average user, rooting a device may appear to be rocket science, and if anything goes wrong, all hell will break loose. Rooting a device is a delicate and nerve-racking process that can lead to a slew...
TheChina Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation(CASC) is expected to launch an unknown payload on a Long March 3C/E rocket. The mission will liftoff at2:05 p.m. ET (1805 GMT)fromLaunch Complex-3(LC-3), at theXichang Satellite Launch Center(XSLC), in China. The Long March 3C/E ...
Deep tech involves groundbreaking innovations in science and engineering, requiring years of extensive research and development to form entirely products. High tech, on the other hand, involves cutting-edge technologies that are already part of our everyday lives. It is essentially the newest, most ...
How hot can the fire in a rocket engine get? How many tons was the payload of the Saturn rocket? How many ignitions does a Merlin rocket engine have? What type of rocket was Apollo 11? What is the largest meteorite? When a rocket engine produces thrust what is the unit?
These technologies are designed to ready the Stryker for battles with light-armored trucks and vehicles and small arms fired by foot soldiers, but they are not sufficient shielding from a missile-like rocket-propelled grenade (RPG). As part of the Stryker project, the consortium is designing a...
This includes micro-satellites, nano-satellites, ground station networks, rocket technology, payload systems, spacecraft development, satellite imagery, satellite telecommunications, space-based data, space materials, space tourism and asteroid mining. VC-backed SpaceX designs and manufactures aerospace and...
What's it like for astronauts to sleep in space? Do they just float around without anything to hold them down, or are they attached to something? Is it difficult to sleep in space, or do the effects of low gravity actually make it easier? To learn how astronauts get their Z's in ze...
Today (Sunday, January 28) is the anniversary of the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger tragedy that killed NASA astronauts Dick Scobee, Mike Smith, Ron McNair, Ellison Onizuka and Judy Resnik; Teacher-in-Space Christa McAuliffe; and Hughes Aircraft payload specialist Greg Jarvis. Aerodynamic forces to...
Whereas, satellites are payloads that can be natural, like moons, or artificial, designed for communication, weather monitoring, or other scientific tasks. 7 A rocket works through the action of thrust in accordance with Newton’s third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and...
