SpaceX will launch the the first operational mission of its Crew Dragon vehicle as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Transportation Capability Program (CCtCap), carrying three NASA astronauts and one JAXA astronaut to the International Space Station. This mission will be the first operational crewed flight to launch from the United States since the end of [...]
SpaceX and NASA will be launching astronauts to the International Space Station again in just a few days aboard their Crew-1 mission, but what's different? I'm here to outline 7 differences that SpaceX incorporated into this NASA mission that were not previously a part of the DM-2 (Demo-2) demonstration mission back in May.The Crew-1 Launch [...]
GPS III are the third generation of the U.S. Space Force's NAVSTAR Global Positioning System satellites, developed by Lockheed Martin. The GPS III constellation will feature a cross-linked command and control architecture, allowing the entire GPS constellation to be updated simultaneously from a single ground station. A new spot beam capability for enhanced military coverage [...]
NASA Astronauts that are on a long duration spaceflight during early voting and on election day will still need to vote. So how can a NASA astronaut floating 254 miles above the surface of the Earth vote from the International Space Station? Find out how in this bonus episode of Two Minute Tuesday!#NASA #Election2020 #olhzn2MTConnect [...]
On NASA Space Shuttle flight STS-41C, NASA astronaut George Nelson, had a close call while wearing NASA's Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) which was a self contained rocket pack that astronauts could wear on their EVA suit backpacks to perform untethered EVA spacewalks. While trying to retrieve a broken satellite, the astronaut and Mission Control struggled [...]
The primary payload aboard this mission includes nine of the latest generation SuperDove satellites from Planet, the operator of the world’s largest constellation of Earth-imaging satellites. Each of the nine SuperDoves in Flock 4e’ will be integrated with and deployed from Rocket Lab’s Maxwell dispensers, the industry’s lightest CubeSat dispenser in its class. Planet’s constellation [...]
The US Space Shuttle was an iconic spacecraft and a workhorse for the US space program, but did you know that the Soviet Union also built their own Space Shuttle type spacecraft known as the Buran. Russia and the Soviet Union planned an entire fleet of Buran class orbiters that would fly attached to their [...]
The 14th operational batch of Starlink satellites (15th overall) will lift off from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on a Falcon 9 rocket. In the weeks following deployment the Starlink satellites will use onboard ion thrusters to reach their operational altitude of 550 km. This is the fifth batch of Starlink [...]
