Ces problèmes ont été identifiés vendredi, dans la nuit, par les équipes de la NASA et consistent en un dysfonctionnement du flux d’hélium dans l’un des étages de la fusée. Le chef de la NASA, Jared Isaacman, a annoncé samedi 21 février que le lancement de la mission...
Supporting higher data rates in orbit is becoming increasingly important as satellites handle more imaging, telemetry and inter-satellite communications. STMicroelectronics has introduced a space-qualified LVDS driver aimed at addressing these bandwidth and power...
This paper outlines the design of the space radiation detection experiment RADS to demonstrate new shielding materials in space during the Athene-1 mission, as well as the Gena-OT1 CubeSat precursor mission. The experiment compares new materials in the form of...
Sending a mission to the Solar Gravitational Lens (SGL) is the most effective way of actually directly imaging a potentially habitable planet, as well as its atmosphere, and even possibly some of its cities. But, the SGL is somewhere around 650-900 AU away, making it...
Succès majeur pour Arianespace qui a mis sur orbite les 32 satellites de la constellation Amazon LEO, le 12 février. Il s’agissait du premier tir du lanceur européen dans sa version la plus puissante, équipée de quatre boosters. C’est un coup de foudre spatial entre...
In December, NASA took another small, incremental step towards autonomous surface rovers. In a demonstration, the Perseverance team used AI to generate the rover’s waypoints. Perseverance used the AI waypoints on two separate days, traveling a total of 456 meters...
