In the late 1950s, technical advances in astronautical engineering and rocketry witnessed tremendous expansion; however, most of this growth remained hidden to most members of the public until Sputnik launched by Soviet Russia on October 4, 1957. American efforts included the Gemini program and its Mercury Seven astronauts – including Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin…
Kepler was launched into space in 2009 to collect statistical information about exoplanets; however, mechanical issues in 2013 rendered its telescope incapable of maintaining steady pointing. Engineers then revised K2 so it uses solar pressure to continue staring at patches in Cygnus and Lyra sky. Photometry Kepler space telescope searches for Earth-sized exoplanets through the…
Voyager spacecraft are now in an area known as the heliosheath at the outer limits of our sun’s influence, carrying 11 scientific instruments with them for planet observations such as cameras and spectrometers. These travelers have already explored many of the outer planets, leaving behind Golden Records with each one to send a message from…
Spacecraft is an innovative granular synth, offering intuitive creative control and effortless use. Mark Watt is an innovative developer – by day he works as a Spacecraft Guidance, Navigation and Control Systems Engineer on European Space Agency missions such as LISA Pathfinder; by night, he creates beautiful music apps. Delta-V Audio’s Spacecraft previously existed exclusively…
Designing a spacecraft involves balancing the needs of various systems, such as structural integrity, communication and life support systems. Furthermore, its design should accommodate different environmental conditions. Spacecraft designers must consider several environmental variables when creating spacecraft designs: steady acceleration; acoustic, random and sinusoidal vibrations; mechanical shock; and pressure profiles. This requires extensive analysis and…
Spacecraft are highly complex machines designed to transport humans into space safely, and return them back home again afterwards. Each mission requires hundreds of interdependent systems working in harmony in order to fulfill its task successfully. Virtual reality simulations often use a combination of keyboard shortcuts and mouse clicks on virtual instrument panels to control…
Cassini performed 20 ring-grazing orbits that brought it within 1000 kilometers of Saturn’s outermost edge, offering incredible close encounters. On one of those orbits, a tiny storm ballooned into an enormous, billowing mass of cloud and gas. This Great White Storm verified long-held theories regarding water-ice geysers on Enceladus, a moon believed to contain a…
Spacecraft is an immersive game in which players have the opportunity to take control of an actual spaceship in orbit – this experience provides both thrills and laughter! Graphite-epoxy composite materials are widely utilized on spacecraft. This material offers superior strength and rigidity as well as low thermal expansion rates and good ductility properties. Mason…
