Cartoonists have long been fascinated with space exploration. Cartoonists even contributed significantly to NASA’s Apollo moon missions by drawing amusing cartoons on astronaut cuff checklists for NASA astronauts participating in them. Caramella, Etno Polino, Bud Budiovitch and Gorgious Klatoo from planet Zigma B are currently hiding out in an isolated home for fear of being…
Customers can customize every element of the trailer they order up to $270,000 and even visit a showroom in Concordia, Missouri to make selections and choose layouts and finishes of their choice. Spacecraft RVs attract a diverse clientele, including carnival and circus workers, full-time RVers and retirees. Additionally, these units enjoy great popularity among movie…
Spacecraft radiators are dedicated surfaces designed to dissipate excess heat through radiative transfer. Their properties are defined by both solar absorptivity and infrared emittivity – qualities which a spacecraft radiator must possess in order to operate effectively. Paints, coatings and tapes can be used to alter the surface properties of spacecraft. SmallSats with limited surface…
Mercury’s heavily cratered surface can help scientists piece together its 4.6 billion year history, but its fragile atmosphere provides little protection from UV radiation or micrometeoroids striking its surface. Spacecraft bound for Mercury must be constructed using heat-resistant materials and feature sophisticated navigation and communication systems, in addition to gravity assists and advanced propulsion systems….
Have you always dreamed of owning part of NASA spacecraft? Now is your chance, and at a fraction of its original cost! Spacecraft for sale are widely available from various providers and can be tailored to carry cargo, scientific instruments (like cameras or telescopes ), people or all three at once. Belgium is hosting an…
Astronomers have nicknamed Neptune the Ice Giant and Voyager 2 has returned incredible images of its rings and moons. Additionally, unlike Uranus, Neptune does not release excess heat left over from planet formation processes like Uranus does. Neptune’s magnetic field appears more intricate than that of Jupiter or Saturn, while its ring system boasts two…
While telescopes and science instruments often grab headlines when spacecraft are launched, it is actually the bus that keeps it in orbit. Northrop Grumman mechanical design team employed creative design thinking techniques to construct Webb’s bus. Rocket Lab’s small satellite bus solutions – Lightning and MAC-200 – are agile and versatile, featuring flight proven redundancies…
From the 1960s on, spacecraft bound for Mars have been regularly launched to explore our closest planetary neighbor and assess its potential as a host planet for life. But only half have succeeded so far. Last summer, two cutting-edge missions arrived at Mars orbit: Hope from the United Arab Emirates and Tianwen-1 from China. Both…
Mark Watt recently introduced SpaceCraft, an iOS granular synth with an inviting and simple user interface that turns any sample into an unusual musical instrument with expressive pads and arpeggiated rhythms. Slow rotation spacecraft would also enable professional crew to perform their duties without experiencing issues like space motion sickness and lower back pain that…
