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?
The last few days were great for science. We got some very beautiful, information-packed images from deep space. All thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope. Webb's First Deep Field Unveiled (NIRCam Image) Photo Credits: NASA Not seen the images yet? The image you see above is at a distance of 4.24 billion light years away from us! And the age of our planet is estimated to be 4.5 Billion years!If you have not seen the images yet, please stop everything…
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.
We have discussed about the significant works done by NASA, ESA, Roscosmos, ISRO, and JAXA. In this article, we will discuss about China National Space Administration (CNSA), its journey, and its achievements. Logo for China National Space Administration. China’s space program evolved largely in secret under the joint control of the Chinese military and the Commission on Science, Technology, and Industry for the National Defense. After the communist takeover of 1949, the Chinese engineer Qian Xuesen, who had helped found the…
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is responsible for all civilian space activities in Japan, with activities ranging from basic space research to ongoing space missions.
We have discussed about the significant works done by NASA, ESA, and Roscosmos. In this article, we will discuss about Indian Space Research Organization, its journey, and its achievements. From carrying parts of the first rocket on a bicycle to finding water on the Moon, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has come a long way since its inception and has been pioneering space missions with untiring zeal. Following its incredible success over the years, it is worthwhile to also know…
