NASA recently used laser communication technology to send 4K video streams from an aircraft to the International Space Station (ISS) and back- a feat which will make its way to providing live video coverage of astronauts on the Moon during the Artemis missions.
The Italian scientists’ research findings suggest there could be hundreds of pits on the moon and thousands of lava tubes which could serve as a natural shelter for astronauts and could protect them from cosmic rays and solar radiation.
The test flight was expected to last a week or so, enough time for Wilmore and Williams to check out the capsule while docked at the station. But problems with the capsule's propulsion system, used to maneuver the spacecraft, prompted NASA and Boeing to delay the flight home several times.
NASA has recently alerted the public about a significant asteroid named 2024 MT1, which is hurtling towards Earth at a speed of 65,215 km/h. Measuring about 260 feet in diameter—comparable in size to the Statue of Liberty—this asteroid has captured the attention of scientists and space enthusiasts.
NASA never leaves an opportunity to amaze people. The space agency keeps sharing stunning pictures from the vast universe. Recently, they shared beautiful pictures of the triple-star system.
Earlier reports claimed that astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were stranded on the International Space Station (ISS). However, NASA and Boeing officials have now denied these reports.
The station was designed between 1984 and 1993. The intended lifespan of the ISS has been extended several times, as several elements are now beyond their originally intended lifespans.
Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, NASA astronauts who reached the ISS on June 6 are stuck at the International Space Station (ISS) due to ongoing issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft which is responsible to take them back to Earth. They were suppose to return after 8-days mission.
According to NASA, The duo were not in danger. The astronauts were supposed to remove a faulty communications box and collect microbe samples from outside the orbiting laboratory.
Boeing's Starliner capsule’s homecoming is on hold as NASA announces the need for further technical reviews. This postponement gives engineers more time to analyze recent issues encountered by the capsule, which is currently carrying astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore.
This NASA space probe was launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets. It encountered a problem in November of last year, and the team identified the root cause of the problem in April of this year.
The broadcast, which aired at 5:28 p.m. U.S. Central Time (2228 GMT), included audio of a female voice instructing crew members to assist a commander showing signs of decompression sickness.
Boeing Starliner spacecraft was commanded by Butch Wilmore and Sunita Wiliams was the pilot of the spacecraft. The Starliner mission aims to carry astronauts and cargo for future NASA missions to low Earth orbit, and beyond.
Boeing launched its first astronauts to the International Space Station aboard a Starliner capsule on Wednesday, joining a select club of spacecraft that have carried humans beyond Earth.
South Korea's recently established national space agency has revealed its plans to collaborate with the private sector to develop small reusable space rockets. The agency aims to explore one of the stable Lagrange points, with the goal to position the nation as the top five global space powers.
India and the US are also collaborating on a joint Earth-observing mission NISAR, which will last for three years to survey land and ice-covered regions of the earth. Meanwhile, Indian and American officials held talks in Washington to discuss opportunities to strengthen space collaboration.
NASA unveils plans to construct the first lunar railway station, introducing the Flexible Levitation on a Track (FLOAT) system for efficient payload transport on the Moon's surface.
The next scheduled liftoff date has been confirmed for May 17th, as announced following the rescheduling of Boeing Co's Starliner space capsule launch. This mission has been set to carry out the first-ever crew test flight with two US astronauts aboard.
NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, along with Butch Wilmore is scheduled to travel in a historic journey to space in Boeing's Starliner. The launch will take place from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 8:04 a.m. IST on May 7, facilitated by a United Launch All
NASA has recently received laser signals from deep space. These signals originated approximately 140 million miles away from the Earth. However, NASA has confirmed that the source is much closer to home.
