NASA has begun a new training program with four astronauts who have been thrown into what is called a habitation module. This habitation module is, in fact, a tin can sitting underwater, on the seafloor, off the Florida Keys , in which the four lucky astronauts will be spending nine days together. According to NASA, during this time, they will be testing several pieces of new equipment as well … [Read more...]
New Telescope Launched to Prove the Existence of Alien Life
According to a group of top NASA scientists, a forthcoming telescope will eventually help them to precisely detect any other form of life in our Universe. Thanks to data collected by the Kepler Space Telescope, launched in 2009, scientists now believe that nearly every star in our galaxy has at least one planet circling it. They want to prove the existence of alien life. Therefore the James … [Read more...]
Care Parcel from Earth to International Space Station Residents
Residents of the International Space Station are set to receive a care parcel from Earth as a commercial cargo ship rocketed towards them yesterday. The rocket lifted off right on time at 12:52 p.m. on Sunday, July 13, from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The 3,000 pound package reportedly contains some science samples, mini-satellites, new odor-resistant gym clothes and of course … [Read more...]
NASA’s Voyager I Spacecraft caught in Solar Tsunami
US space agency NASA has announced that its veteran Voyager 1 spacecraft has been hit by a ‘tsunami’ triggered by the Sun. The collision comes at a time when the mission is at the advanced level into interstellar space, region beyond the heliosphere and that separates the stars. The NASA scientists had earlier in 2013 confirmed that the probe which was launched on September 5, 1977 (a few … [Read more...]
The Ocean on Saturn’s Moon Could Be Very High in Salt
Pictured above: Artistic impression of how a lake on Titan would look like. According to the data gathered by NASA’s Cassini probe, the ocean on Saturn’s moon Titan (the largest of the planet’s moons) has a very high concentration of salts. The probe only gathered gravitation data and didn’t perform a full chemical analysis, obviously, but the initial data suggest that the ocean has a … [Read more...]
Cassini’s 10 years Space journey revealing the secrets of Saturn and moons
July 1, 2004, 12:12 a.m. ET—10 years ago marked the inception of most successful missions ever ,the NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn in all of space exploration history. It became the first spacecraft to enter Saturn orbit. The spacecraft Cassini has transmitted imagery and sensory data back to Earth giving astronomers amazing new insights of our neighbour. Linda Spilker, Cassini project … [Read more...]
Spacex’s Elon Musk says, he will Put HUMANS On MARS By 2026
Electric car and rocket tycoon Elon Musk expects to put the first human on Mars in the next decade and says he'll float his SpaceX company on Earth-bound stock exchanges once the interplanetary mission gets underway.He recently unveiled a manned version of his successful Dragon spacecraft. He’s talking about retrieving the first stage of his Falcon 9 rocket, a feat that has never been … [Read more...]
Hubble Telescope Seeks New Targets for Pluto Probe
The Hubble Space Telescope has begun looking for icy world beyond Pluto as part of a fast-moving campaign to double the scientific payoff from NASA's New Horizons mission. In 2006, New Horizons became the fastest object that humanity has ever sent away from the Earth, and it has only picked up speed since then. New Horizons' primary goal is to send a spacecraft flying past Pluto and its moons … [Read more...]
ISSE-3: Famous Zombie Aircraft, May Return Home
A long-lost spacecraft is coming home for the first time in three decades. Launched 36 years ago, the zombie spaceship is apparently coming home after nearly 20 years of drifting out in space with no contact on a lonely course through space. Launched during the disco era and shuttered by NASA in 1997, the spacecraft is now returning to the civilization that abandoned it. ISEE-3, short for … [Read more...]
Saturn’s moon Titan sniffed by NASA’s smell-o-scope experiment
NASA figures out how to smell Saturn's moon Titan right here on Earth by an interplanetary smell-o-scope experiment, processing data from the Cassini spacecraft and reproducing the smell of another world. A new recipe that captures key flavors of the brownish-orange atmosphere around Saturn's largest moon was created by a team led by Joshua Sebree, assistant professor at the University of … [Read more...]
