built. However, Starship's hull is stainless steel, which makes it more durable than other rockets but also extremely heavy. At 5,000 tons, it has twice the dry mass of the SLS. NASA's rocket can make it all the way to the moon in one launch, but Starship will have to refuel in...

also notes the aurora, according to NASA. The science behind the northern lights wasn't theorized until the turn of the 20th century. Norwegian scientist Kristian Birkeland proposed that electrons emitted from sunspots produced the atmospheric lights after being guided toward the poles by Earth's ...
These satellites will continue to help cover the continental U.S., Canada and the U.K. At the same time, NASA and SpaceX have come to an information-sharing agreement to help avoid orbital collisions. SpaceX also revealed its next-gen Starlink V2 Mni satellites which now use the E-b...
The Sick Building Syndrome is one the Gateway Foundation wants to avoid in this new territory, following in the footsteps of NASA which has only approved certain materials that have a minimum level of off-gassing. Where there’s reduced gravity, floating particles could...
Experts have been discussing the space junk problem since the 1960s, leading NASA’s Donald Kessler to author a groundbreaking 1978 report on the chain of reactions that could occur once debris reached a certain level—an effect now referred to as the Kessler syndrom...
The media went ga-ga last week over the final flight of the Space Shuttle program. They talked about the past successes of NASA. They insisted the that fact American astronauts will have to hitch expensive rides on Russian rockets to get to or from the International Space Station for the ne...
SpaceX is the only company in the world that routinely guides its rockets back to a pinpoint landing after launch, the maneuver that triggers a startling sonic boom. The company mastered that technique over the course of a decade flying its workhorse Falcon 9 rockets. Lead study author Kent ...
Eclipses afford scientists the opportunity to study the sun and how it interacts with Earth in unique ways. NASA will launch three sounding rockets during the annular eclipse to monitor how the drop in sunlight impacts Earth’s upper atmosphere, called the ionosphere. ...
