Astrophysics Sounding Rockets

Votes:0
Astrophysics Sounding Rockets at Penn State (by David Burrows and John Nousek ) Sounding rockets are sub-orbital rockets that carry a payload above the Earth's atmosphere for period of up to 15 minutes, but which do not place the payload into orbit around the Earth. The field of X-ray astronomy began with a sounding rocket flight in 1962 carrying a Geiger counter that discovered the first X-rays from an astronomical object outside the Solar System. The Sun was known to be a bright X-ray source, but because it is so much closer than other stars, no other stars were expected to be detectable in X-rays. The purpose of the 1962 rocket flight was to investigate X-rays from the Moon. Instead, this flight discovered both Sco X-1, the brightest X-ray source in the sky, and a completely unexpected Read More

The spacecraft creates a 60 km wide magnetic field behind it. It then pumps ionised gas, known as a plasma, into this magnetic bubble. The interaction of the plasma with the charged particles carried by the solar wind propels the spaceraft forwards. The magnetic bubble effectively acts as a sail trapping the solar wind.

Antimatter and Fusion for rocket propulsion

It's one of the most attractive words in science fiction literature and nearly as good a topic at parties as black holes. It might also be the fuel that powers spaceships to the planets and perhaps the stars, even if it's just used as a sophisticated book of matches. Right : Mars in 6 weeks? And back in a total of four months? That's the prediction of a design team working on antimatter rocket concepts at Pennsylvania State University. But first, you have to get the stuff - and store it.

Deep Space 1: Advanced Technologies: Solar Electric Propulsion FAQ

Votes:0
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ION PROPULSION What is ion propulsion? Ion propulsion is a technology that involves ionizing a gas to propel a craft. Instead of a spacecraft being propelled with standard chemicals, the gas xenon (which is like neon or helium, but heavier) is given an electrical charge, or ionized. It is then electrically accelerated to a speed of about 30 km/second. When xenon ions are emitted at such high speed as exhaust from a spacecraft, they push the spacecraft in the opposite direction. What implications does this technology have for space exploration? If DS1 shows that electric propulsion works as well as is expected, there will be many new missions that will take advantage of it. Deep Space 4 is expected to use four ion engines to fly alongside a comet in 2004 so Read More

New engine powers a new spaceship

Votes:0
12 NOV 1998. Opposites attract, and likes repel. It's true in love, and even more in electricity and magnetism where the principle governs countless electrical and magnetic gizmos -- from compasses and electric motors to the cathode- ray tube that's probably allowing you to read this. . Artist's rendering of Deep Space 1. Courtesy of NASA. Related Why Files Asteroids Brand new planet Comets Distant planet? Robots on Mars . The repulsion of opposites is supposed to drive a spacecraft called Deep Space 1 on a wide orbit of the sun. But the futuristic engine pooped out mysteriously just minutes after being turned on and the spacecraft's handlers are trying to figure out just what went wrong. While the futuristic ship -- should it get underway -- plans to visit an asteroid and a decaying comet Read More

Check out that flame! Back in the 20th century when service stations provided service, women dressed like women , and 4-wheel-drive vehicles were used as 4-wheel-drive vehicles, the USAF added a rocket powered airplane to its inventory. Maybe the NF-104 did not fly as fast and as high as the Mercury, Vostok, or the X-15, however, the NF-104 was far less expensive to operate. Capable of takeoff/landing from conventional runways under its own power, this aerospace plane was a low cost and quick means to skim the boundaries of space. And, it was fully reus Read More

The prototype is being developed by the Fusion Energy Division at the Oak Ridge Centers for Manufacturing Technology. I t may not be warp speed, but a new rocket engine concept in design at the Oak Ridge Centers for Manufacturing Technology could make space flight a much faster business than it is already. That would be good news for astronauts facing long stretches away from home on interplanetary missions.

The smooth operation of the engine, installed in the short-takeoff-and-vertical-landing (STOVL) aircraft, confirmed all performance predictions. The Pratt & Whitney F119-614 engine ran at low power to verify system integrity. All propulsion-system components operated as designed and experienced no anomalies. "This engine run parallels the same success achieved on the X-32A initial engine run, demonstrating the high commonality of engine integration be Read More

Setting sail for the stars

Right now, the sign at the edge of the solar system reads, "Last chance for gas, next 4.3 light years." If you're using an interstellar sail, you can ignore the sign and coast to the next solar system. Since the mid-1980s, scientists have been considering sailing to the stars with a "breeze" produce by lasers or microwave transmitters. Right: A "conventional" solar sail, fully deployed and cruising into interstellar space. Inn Read More

Space Vehicles - Vehicle Designs

Votes:0
Vehicle Designs In order for people to be able to travel economically to space, for space tourism and for other purposes, we need reusable launch vehicles. All commercial transport industries use reusable vehicles - and so will the commercial space transport industry. Luckily research aimed at developing low-cost reusable launch vehicles has increased recently - though total funding is still barely 2% (!) of government funding for space activities. The following is a list of projects under way today and some significant projects of the past . Some are aimed initially at sub-orbital flights - a much easier target than getting to orbit, as demonstrated by SpaceShipOne . Others are designs for orbital vehicles. Ultimately, the only ones of importance are the piloted, passenger-carrying vehicl Read More

Pulse detonation rocket engines offer a lightweight, low-cost alternative for space transportation. Pulse detonation rocket engine technology is being developed for upper stages that boost satellites to higher orbits. The advanced propulsion technology could also be used for lunar and planetary landers and excursion vehicles that require throttle control for gentle landings. The engine operates on pulses, so controllers could dial in the frequency of the detonation in the "digital" engin Read More

In fact, if it weren't for tethers Jack in the Beanstalk would never have been written. According to the Winston Simplified Dictionary, a tether is: a rope or chain to fasten an animal so that it can graze only within certain limits... However, there are many other specialized uses for tethers including bungee jumping and weather balloons. In fact, NASA uses tethers in space to secure astronauts as they work outside their spacecraft.
