NASA’s Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) will land at the western end of the ‘Noble crater’ at the Moon’s South Pole by the end of 2023. The availability of ground water will be confirmed. The Viper will be launched on a SpaceX Falcon-heavy rocket.The Moon’s South Pole is one of the coldest regions in…
The speed of light is in fact an assumption. The truth is that we have never measured the speed of light in one direction experimentally. The speed of light in a vacuum is said to be 299,792 kilometers per second. What we can do now, even with the most advanced technology we have, is to…
Fun fact: President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act into law on July 29, 1958. On October 1, 1958, NASA formally opened for business.
The spacecraft is a module developed by the Russian space agency Roscosmos. It will serve as Russia’s major research center on the International Space Station.

The ‘Nauka’, launched by Russia from the Bikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan…
In 1961, Wally was the youngest member of NASA’s astronaut crew. She was 21 years old at the time. Valley was a member of the space travel program ‘Mercury 13’. But in the end, NASA decided not to send the group of women into space. Wally Funk, who lost his chance to be born a…
Photons pass through the material because they do not have the energy needed to excite a glass of electrons to a higher energy level. Physicists sometimes talk about this based on the band theory that energy levels coexist in areas known as energy bands. There are areas between these bands called band gaps, where the…
The maximum speed at which we can communicate information in this universe is the speed of light, which is 3 million km / second. That is, nothing moves faster than this. For example, suppose the sun suddenly disappears in a second, and it takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for the earth to see…
Starship Prototype Serial No. 20. The gluing of the metal sheets to resist heat is almost complete. There are a number of cryogenic tests left before pairing with super heavy. Three Raptor engines were used in earlier Starship test flights. The starship, which will go into space for the first time in a few weeks,…
The plant rotates 16 times a day, but each time it passes several places above the ground. This is due to the rotation of the earth. The second reason is that we often do not see the plant. That is the simple reason. We can only see the plant at sunset or sunrise. This is…
Three astronauts return on Friday after completing China’s longest space mission. The astronauts spent 90 days on the Tianhi module on China’s space station, 380 km from Earth.On June 17, Nei Heisheng, Liu Booming and Tang Honbo went aboard the Shenzhou-12 spacecraft. They returned at 1.30pm on Friday in a capsule in the Gobi Desert…
