#SolarSystem Ice-penetrating radar will help JUICE and other spacecraft find water beyond Earth: When it arrives at Jupiter and the planet's moons in 2031, the JUICE spacecraft will use ice-penetrating radar to see beneath determine habitability.

🚀 Today marks a historic milestone in space exploration! On March 16, 1966, NASA's Gemini 8 mission, under the command of Neil Armstrong, achieved the first-ever docking of two spacecraft in orbit. This groundbreaking feat demonstrated humanity's ability to rendezvous and dock spacecraft, laying the foundation for future missions to the Moon and beyond. However, the mission encountered a harrowing emergency when a stuck thruster caused Gemini 8 to tumble uncontrollably. Despite the perilous situation, Armstrong's quick thinking and decisive actions enabled him to regain control of the spacecraft, averting potential disaster. The bravery and ingenuity displayed during the Gemini 8 mission underscore the challenges and risks inherent in space exploration. Yet, it also exemplifies the resilience and determination of the human spirit to push the boundaries of what is possible. As we reflect on this momentous occasion, let us honor the legacy of those who paved the way for our continued journey into the cosmos. Their courage and innovation inspire us as we strive to advance the frontiers of space exploration. #LondonSpaceFinance #SFS2024 #UKSpaceFinance #SpaceTechUK https://lnkd.in/gC2YARcC.

https://lnkd.in/em2zsSdX Japan has become only the fifth nation ever to soft-land a spacecraft on the surface of the Moon. The JAXA SLIM mission has not been 100% successful, but nevertheless establishes Japan among the global space elite.

Following my previous post on Space Dynamics workbooks, this is my second workbook. In the last sheet, we tackled the problem of getting from one planet to another under the gravitational influence of the Sun. We now tackle the transfer of a spacecraft from the gravitational field of one body to the gravitational field of another. We don’t have to confine ourselves to the problem of interplanetary travel; we could be travelling from the Earth to the Moon and back in which case we move from the gravitational influence of the Earth to the Moon and then the converse on our return. Orbital injection is how we get from one orbit to another. WE-8: Hohmann Transfer Orbits WE-9: Orbital Injection WE-10: Spacecraft spin

A #UFO/#UAP is sort of like a space capsule - spare it's a much better approach. A #CTPcraft will have their own independent CTP Propulsion Systems (CTPPS) and don't have to onboard their own fuel or propellants. Our approaches at CTP will be/are more practical and more economic. #CTPcraft will also serve as their same Single Stage to Orbit (SSTO) launch platform and lander system in one spacecraft. 'CTP' will be a MUCH BETTER SAFER WAY to 'do' space.

The Rosetta odyssey: first ever comet-chaser, Paris, France (SPX) Mar 04, 2024 Two decades ago, on March 2, 2004, the European Space Agency's (ESA) Rosetta spacecraft embarked on an audacious journey that would push the boundaries of human knowledge and technology. Launched aboard an Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana, Rosetta set off on a 7.9 billion-kilometer odyssey to rendezvous with and study comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, a journey that would offer unprecedented in, : Paris, France (SPX) Mar 04,

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft, formerly known as #OSIRIS-REx, is preparing for its first major test in its #mission to #asteroid #Apophis. In order to reach the asteroid, the #spacecraft will fly closer to the #Sun than ever before, exposing its components to higher temperatures than they were originally designed for. #Apophis #nasa #OsirisAPEX #spacecraft

Why Europe's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer Probe is Returning to Earth | ESA FriendsofNASA.org: The European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) returns to Earth on August 19–20, 2024, to complete the world's first Lunar-Earth gravity assist. Flight controllers will guide the spacecraft past the Moon and then Earth itself, ‘braking’ the spacecraft. This maneuver may seem counterintuitive but it will allow JUICE to take a shortcut via Venus on its way to Jupiter. JUICE has already traveled more than a billion km to the giant planet. However, it still has a long way to go although Jupiter is on average ‘just’ 800 million km away from Earth. Join us as we explain JUICE's journey to Jupiter.
