The space debris problem can be solved in the near future
So the machine should look like ClearSpace-1 in orbit of our planet environmental Pollution is one of the most acute problems of our time. We invariably leave behind a mess wherever. Unfortunately, this applies not only to the sur...
Astronauts can enter in giberson during the trip to Mars
Colonization of Mars might be scarier than many horror movies Lovers of science fiction — your time has come again. This time scientists from the (ESA) offered to put astronauts into giberson during the upcoming mission to M...
In the new experiment, NASA astronauts will have two months to lie still on the bed
Space travel in zero gravity have on the human body destructive influence. Due to earth gravity people Willy-nilly to keep their body and their muscles are constantly trained. In zero gravity, the muscles all relaxed and quickly a...
The project of a new jet engine SABRE got the "green light"
Development of innovative hybrid hypersonic air-breathing SABRE engine (Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine) from the British company Reaction Engines, who will be able to work effectively in the atmosphere and in the vacuum of...
Explosive test ESA will reduce the amount of space debris
Space debris is already considered a huge problem, which prevents mankind to test in earth orbit. The cause of the huge amount of waste are batteries, which are used in satellites and can explode due to the large stresses, mechani...
Scientists from ESA to more accurately calculate the mass of the milky Way
Astronomers from the European space Agency (ESA) were able to more accurately calculate the approximate mass of our milky Way. It turned out that it is two times more than predicted by previous studies. How? Almost half. The findi...
ESA will develop a new material for spacesuits, lunar colonists
experts of the European space Agency wants to develop a new fabric for space suits to be used by astronauts during the lunar colonization project. The development will accommodate in conjunction with private textile companies. Sui...
The Earth's atmosphere were larger than previously thought. It is outside the orbit of the moon
the Earth consists of several layers: the troposphere (upper limit 20 km), stratosphere (50 km), mesosphere (border 85 km), thermosphere (690 km border) and ectosphere (limit of 10 000 km). For a long time as the conventional bou...
As the low gravity of the moon affects the health of astronauts?
the European space Agency ESA is preparing a new generation of astronauts for the next manned space missions to the moon. Recently, they began to teach the use of being dressed in heavy space suits restrict movement. But what abou...
The astronauts practiced moon walking on the surface of volcanoes
the Mission of "-11" in the course of which man took the first step on the moon, ended 50 years ago. At the moment the astronauts, it is important to prepare for the next missions and to learn to use a new geological instruments a...
The laser guidance system will help tiny satellites to transmit data to the Earth
the New platform laser guidance developed by the Massachusetts Institute of technology, could help small satellites to play high speed data transmission. In 1998 was launched nearly 2,000 satellites the size of a shoebox, known as...
