This day…50 years ago! The Earth-orbiting Transit IV-A became the first flight test of a nuclear power source developed for use in spacecraft. Transit IV-A was powered both by solar cells and a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) using Plutonium 238 for fuel....Earth’s Moon: Mysterious Swirls
Scientists are puzzled. Our Moon is dotted with swirls, considered among the most puzzling features on the surface of the Moon. These bright, looping patterns are unlike anything seen in the solar system. While the origin of the lunar swirls has been discussed for...Wanted! Citizen Scientists for New Horizons Flyby Target
Want to be known as a far out “Ice Hunter” for NASA’s New Horizons mission now en route to the Pluto system? A citizen science project has been established – one that can help scientists search through specially-obtained telescopic images for currently unknown objects...SETI Signals for Funding: New Site Offers Public Involvement
There’s no question that the search for life elsewhere is a profound enterprise in human history. As the quest continues to search and find other planets circling other stars, the hunger to find out just how crowded the universe is out there also grows. The search for...Comet Flyby Yields New Science Twists…and a Mystery
Visited last fall by NASA’s Deep Impact spacecraft during its EPOXI mission was comet Hartley 2. Scientists have published their findings about the flyby – offering some new twists to the encounter of a cometary kind. On its EPOXI mission the Deep Impact spacecraft...NASA’s Dawn Spacecraft: “Moment of Truth Is About to Arrive”
NASA’s Dawn mission was launched in September 2007. The spacecraft is now approaching Vesta, a protoplanet that is currently some 143 million miles from Earth. Powered by an ion engine, Dawn will arrive at Vesta next month. Starting in September, the spacecraft will...Space Talk
#JAXA और #ISRO का नया कदम—
रोबोटिक आर्म्स के उन्नत क्षेत्र में सहयोग की संभावनाएँ तलाशना।
भारत उन चुनिंदा देशों में शामिल है
जिन्होंने SpaDeX जैसे मिशन में
स्पेस में रोबोटिक आर्म सफलतापूर्वक तैनात किए हैं।
तकनीक में प्रगति, अंतरिक्ष में नई ऊँचाइयाँ—
यही है भारत की प्रेरक यात्रा।
