We will be discussing Launch Escape Systems (LES). Also called Launch Abort System (LAS), it is a crew safety system connected to the space capsule
We will discuss about the spaceflight technology development company – SpinLaunch. This company is working on mass accelerator technology to move payloads to space.
In this last part, we will end this topic with a discussion on the method of using "Projectiles" as a launch system for reaching orbit.
We had covered the static and tensile structures. Today we will continue with this topic and discuss the ‘dynamic structures’ for the non-rocket space launch.
We will be discussing the different methods — both proposed and tested, to reach space without the use of rocket propulsion in its entirety.
The reason for laws on space is not just to facilitate access to, and the use of, space, but to favour cooperation between all nations, not only between space powers.
Ever wonder how astronomers search for extraterrestrial life on other planets? What are they seeking, exactly?
In the previous part of this Space Telescope Series, we discussed about the basic principle on which James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is based i.e. Infrared astronomy. Today we will discuss the challenges faced in launching space telescopes keeping in mind JWST in particular and space telescopes in general. The James Webb Space telescope under construction. NASA/Desiree Stover Size : How to fit it in rocket? The James Webb Space Telescope is the largest, most powerful space telescope ever built. Details…
The Universe is full of radiation of all types but most of this does not reach us here on Earth because our atmosphere blocks out many wavelengths of radiation, but permits others through.
NASA launched James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) on December 24. JWST will succeed the Hubble Space Telescope, NASA’s flagship telescope that has been in service for more than three decades.
