Jupiter emits strong radio waves in both intermittent bursts and steady streams with variable frequencies, likely coming from charged particles present within its intense radiation belts. NASA’s Galileo mission orbited Jupiter, while Ulysses passed through its magnetosphere on its journey towards Saturn. Juno will provide researchers with vital data regarding Europa and Ganymede where liquid…
Subsystems on board a spacecraft serve various functions depending on its mission profile, such as: Command and Data Handling (C&DH), also known as C&DH, entails receiving, validating, decoding and disseminating commands received from ground control in addition to transmitting telemetry data back down to Earth. Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) employs electronic “eyes”, such…

Every part of a spacecraft must remain within a specific temperature range to fulfill mission requirements, with heat moving primarily via conduction and radiation. On Earth, we cool things by moving air around to dissipate heat; in space however, with no atmosphere available to carry away excess heat, thermal radiation must be used instead to…
Mercury can enter the environment via volcanoes, burning coal, oil or trash burning or from mining and processing gold. Once released into the air it can come tumbling back down via rain or sleet and pollute soil and water supplies. BepiColombo was developed by the European Space Agency and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency to explore…
Imagine yourself inside a spaceship accelerating with an intense burst of rocket fire before feeling weightlessness as its engine shuts off and your ship coasts onward. Ordinary people might one day experience space tourism thanks to several companies working on it – just be prepared for a hefty bill when doing so! Space Shuttle Orbiters…
Voyager 2’s cameras captured images and sensors gathered data as it passed over Neptune’s cold blue clouds tonight as part of its final journey across our Solar System.
