A SpaceX encontrou outro obstáculo em sua busca por "tornar a vida multiplanetária". Durante o nono voo de seu foguete integrado Starship-Super Heavy na terça-feira, o veículo mais uma vez falhou em completar o voo completo conforme o planejado, perdendo a capacidade de controlar sua orientação pouco mais de 20 minutos após o início do voo.A SpaceX interrompeu a exibição de imagens ao vivo do estágio superior por cerca de 10 minutos. Quando as imagens das câmeras foram retomadas, cerca de 30 minutos após o início do voo, a Starship pôde ser vista começando a girar.“A Starship atingiu o corte programado do motor da nave, uma grande melhoria em relação ao último voo! Além disso, não houve perda significativa das placas de proteção térmica durante a subida”, disse o fundador da SpaceX, Elon Musk, em um comunicado pós-lançamento no X. “Vazamentos causaram perda de pressão do tanque principal durante a fase de navegação costeira e reentrada. Muitos dados úteis para revisar.”A missão, batizada de Starship Flight 9, foi a terceira tentativa da SpaceX de voar a versão atualizada do Bloco 2 de seu estágio superior. Nos dois voos anteriores, a nave perdeu o controle de atitude antes do desligamento de seus seis motores Raptor, menos de nove minutos após o início de suas respectivas subidas.Em um comunicado divulgado pela Administração Federal de Aviação, a agência disse estar "ciente de que uma anomalia ocorreu durante a missão SpaceX Starship Flight 9, que foi lançada na terça-feira, 27 de maio, da Starbase, Texas, e está trabalhando ativamente com a SpaceX no evento".“Não há relatos de ferimentos públicos ou danos à propriedade pública neste momento”, disse a FAA.Antes da missão Starship Flight 9, Musk disse que realizaria uma palestra da empresa, intitulada "O Caminho para Tornar a Vida Multiplanetária", que, segundo ele, seria transmitida ao vivo. No entanto, a palestra estava originalmente agendada para antes do lançamento, mas foi adiada para depois e agora parece estar descartada por enquanto.Musk conversou com alguns veículos de notícias antes do lançamento, incluindo a Ars Technica. Nessa conversa , ele disse que havia "80% de chance de resolver esses problemas" relacionados ao estágio superior."Para realmente termos 100% de chance, é necessária a iteração do projeto do motor. E parte disso foi que tivemos que descobrir que precisávamos apertar os parafusos que prendiam a câmara de empuxo à cabeça do injetor após o disparo", disse Musk a Eric Berger, da Ars Technica.Musk disse na entrevista que a SpaceX pretende lançar a terceira versão de seu motor Raptor até o final do ano. Ele acrescentou que "a versão 3 da nave e do propulsor tem um redesenho bastante radical".Embora o estágio superior da Starship Versão 2 usado neste voo, número de cauda S35, tenha superado as falhas observadas com as S33 e S34, ele sofreu vários contratempos, incluindo um problema que impediu a abertura da porta do compartimento de carga. A SpaceX pretendia lançar oito painéis grandes que simulassem o tamanho e a massa dos satélites Starlink Versão 3.A perda do controle de atitude do estágio superior também impediu a SpaceX de realizar o reacendimento planejado de um dos motores Raptor no espaço. Este é um recurso que a SpaceX precisará em missões futuras para permitir que a Starship desorbite com segurança e realize queimas secundárias durante uma missão.As imagens das câmeras de bordo foram irregulares em alguns momentos, mas duraram mais de 45 minutos de voo. Após o término da missão, Jared Isaacman, o indicado para ser o próximo administrador da NASA, aplaudiu o esforço da SpaceX.

May 6th was going to be the date that Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunni Williams were going to take the Boeing CST 100 Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station for the first time with astronauts on board. Starliner has undergone a rather stormy development period and is several years behind schedule as a result but NASA, Boeing, and United Launch Alliance (ULA) teams after the earlier flight readiness review were confident that the spacecraft was ready for crewed flight. The mission also marked the first time since Leroy Gordon Cooper's Mercury-Atlas 9 on May 15th, 1963, that a human was going to ride to orbit on the “shoulders” of an Atlas launch vehicle. Even the weather for the attempt on May 6th was 95 percent “go.” Unfortunately, the May 6th date was not to be. A cranky valve on board the Second Stage (Centaur Stage) of the ULA Atlas V kept Starliner on the ground. We explore what exactly happened, put the event in context, and gauge public reaction on various social media outlets. We also take a look at a rather explosive claim from a New York-based NASA contractor, ValveTech, about the component in question and debunk the Company's claims. If you live in North America, did you catch the aurora this past weekend? A Class 4 Geomagnetic storm was the cause, the first Class 4 solar storm warning issued by NOAA since 2005. NOAA called a press conference about potential impacts on Friday, May 10th, calling the event “potentially historic.” What were the impacts here on Earth or did it pose issues for the International Space Station? We discuss. The  US Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee approved the FAA Reauthorization Act which extends the period where the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation (AST) would be limited from regulating the safety of commercial human spaceflight, more commonly known as the “learning period.” Also, the FAA announced public meetings to occur next month to get public comments on an Environmental Impact Study on allowing Starship Super Heavy launches from NASA's Launch Complex 39A. All comments should be submitted by one of the methods listed under "ADDRESSES" in the linked document no later than June 24, 2024. We examine both stories. Tokyo's Astroscale announced that it had conducted the first rendezvous with a spent rocket upper stage in Earth Orbit. The idea is to understand how such an object behaves as a prelude to determining how to dispose of such an object properly. We take a brief look at their plans.

We're giving up on new ways to describe how busy it is now in the world of space-related news. Nonetheless, we still have a Starship Flight 3 recap, a look at the next (and last) Delta IV Heavy launch, and we also focus on the upcoming total solar eclipse. But first, in the News Roundup, even more, including: Crew 7 returns from the ISS; RocketLab's Electron booster launches the “Owl Night Long” mission for Japan-based Synspective; Japan-based Space One launch vehicle explodes during first launch; SpaceX's controversial land-swap deal in Texas; The White House releases NASA 2025 budget on the heels of the final fiscal year 2024 spending bill for NASA, NOAA and FAA; NASA network of small moon rovers gets ready for work on IM-2 mission; The Post-Delta-IV-Heavy Future of Launch Complex 37 Next, the team discusses some possible alternatives for the future of Space Launch Complex 37 on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. The USAF conducted a public hearing (both in-person and online, which Gene attended) to discuss the two options. One is for SpaceX to take over LC-37 and convert it for use by the Starship Super Heavy. The other is to establish a new LC-50, to be located between SpaceX's LC-40 and ULA's LC-41.  Charles Boyer from “Talk of Titusville” outlines the entire plan here.  How to Safely Enjoy the Upcoming Solar Eclipse Gene shares his previous solar eclipse viewing experiences and provides a few handy safety tips as well.   According to the site TimeandDate , the first sign of a partial eclipse in North America is to start at 15:42 UTC (that's 11:42 AM EDT) on April 8, 2024, and will end about 20:52 UTC or 4:52 PM EDT.  NASA has a good site as well if you are looking for when to look in your area, NASA's Eclipse Explorer can give you information about your town to see if you are in the path of totality. So can a moving map animation at greatamericaneclipse.com. And if you get rained out or clouded over? Never fear, NASA TV will be providing coverage. Starship Flight 3 Recap Finally, the team recaps their impressions of the third test flight of Starship Super Heavy. While both booster and ship were prematurely lost (which, by regulation, requires that SpaceX conduct another Mishap Investigation), there were a number of notable achievements to highlight on this test flight. There were a number of lowlights as well. We discuss it all.   Please be sure to let us know your thoughts on the topics we discuss. You can always reach us at mailbag@TalkingSpaceOnline.com.

Så skete det. Nedtællingen nåede hele vejen til T-0, et – tilstrækkeligt – antal Raptor-raketmotorer leverede den største løftekraft fra et førstetrin nogensinde og en fuldt integreret Starship/Super Heavy-kombination bevægede sig op fra SpaceX's affyringsrampe i Boca Chica, Texas. Den fløj til 39 kilometers højde og opnåede en hastighed på omkring to gange lydens. Hvad der derefter skete, og hvad den første testflyvning af verdenshistoriens hidtil største løfteraket efterlader i sit kølvand og af indtryk, bliver vi nødt til at få behandlet.----Det er sjovt at lave podcast, men det tager også tid og koster penge.

China's Chang'e 5 lands on the moon to collect the 1st fresh lunar samples in decades Chang'e 5 is the first lunar sample-return mission since 1976. Chang'e 5 touched down on the moon at 10:11 a.m. EST (1511GMT, 11:11 p.m. Beijing Time) near Mons Rümker, a mountain in the Ocean of Storms (or Oceanus Procellarum), CNSA officials said. The probe deployed its solar array and antenna soon after to begin its work on the moon. Two pieces of the four-module, 18,100-lb. (8,200 kilograms) Chang'e 5 mission hit the gray dirt today — a stationary lander and an ascent vehicle. If all goes according to plan, the lander will spend the next few days collecting about 4.4 lbs. (2 kg) of lunar material, some of it dug from up to 6.5 feet (2 meters) beneath the lunar surface. Chang'e 5 isn't the only sample-return game in town. Japan's Hayabusa2 mission is scheduled to deliver pieces of the asteroid Ryugu to Earth on Dec. 5, and NASA's OSIRIS-REx probe collected samples of the space rock Bennu in late October. The Bennu samples are scheduled to come home in September 2023. SpaceX's Texas launch site undergoing FAA environmental review for Starship flights Link: https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-texas-site-faa-environmental-review SpaceX's new Texas launch site will undergo an environmental review to prepare for the first flights of the company's new Starship spacecraft. The private spaceflight company owns a launch site in South Texas, near the village of Boca Chica, where Starship prototypes are currently being built and tested. The Starship spacecraft is SpaceX's next-gen transportation system designed to take people to and from the moon, Mars and beyond. On Nov. 23, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that SpaceX plans to apply for licenses for suborbital and orbital launches of Starship. The FAA will conduct an environmental review of the site before SpaceX can launch its new spacecraft, which is powered by the Super Heavy rocket. "The proposed update to Starship/Super Heavy operations falls outside of the scope of the existing final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Record of Decision for the launch site and requires additional environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)," the FAA said in a statement. The NEPA helps ensure that environmental impacts are assessed during the launch licensing process. In order to receive the appropriate licenses for suborbital and orbital launches, SpaceX must follow environmental and safety regulations. In addition, the company must develop agreements for the license application, according to the statement. India to launch Shukrayaan Venus mission in 2024 after pandemic delays: reports Link: https://www.space.com/india-venus-orbiter-shukrayaan-2024-launch India plans to launch a new orbiter to Venus in 2024, a year later than planned, according to media reports. The Shukrayaan orbiter will be the first mission to Venus by the India Space Research Organization (ISRO) and will study the planet for four years, according to SpaceNews, which cited a presentation by an ISRO research scientist at a NASA-chartered committee Nov. 10. It will be India's first mission to Venus. The Shukrayaan orbiter will be the first mission to Venus by the India Space Research Organization (ISRO) and will study the planet for four years, according to SpaceNews, which cited a presentation by an ISRO research scientist at a NASA-chartered committee Nov. 10. ISRO has been soliciting ideas for instruments for a Venus-based mission since at least 2018, according to its website. The spacecraft will carry several instruments to probe the Venusian environment. The flagship instrument will be a synthetic aperture radar to examine the Venusian surface, which is shrouded by thick clouds that make it impossible to glimpse the surface in visible light. An earlier version flew on the Indian Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft now orbiting the moon, Space News reported "ISRO was aiming for a mid-2023 launch when it released its call for instruments in 2018, but Antonita told members of the National Academies' decadal survey planning committee last week that pandemic-related delays have pushed Shukrayaan's target launch date to December 2024," SpaceNews stated in a Nov. 19 report. In September, the French space agency (CNES) announced it would also fly an instrument on Shukrayaan. The Venus Infrared Atmospheric Gases Linker (VIRAL) is a collaboration with Russian federal space agency Roscosmos. Antonita added that other instruments have been shortlisted and that India plans to fly an instrument from Germany. New data reveals Earth closer to a black hole and is moving 16,000 mph faster Link: https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/earth-closer-to-black-hole-16000-mph-faster A Japanese radio astronomy project revealed Earth is 2,000 light years closer to the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's center. The data also showed the planet is moving 7 km/s or 16,000 mph faster in orbit around the Galactic Center. The findings don't mean Earth is in more danger from the black hole but reflect better modeling of the galaxy. If you think Earthly matters haven't been going well already, it also turns out that our planet is much closer to the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy than we imagined. New observation data allowed researchers to improve the modeling of the Milky Way Galaxy, showing Earth is moving 7 km/s (~16,000 mph) faster and is 2,000 light years closer to the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*. The new map claims this center, along with the supermassive black hole it contains, is about 25,800 light-years away from Earth. Notably, this is closer than the distance of 27,700 light years established as the official value in 1985 by the International Astronomical Union. Show Stuff Join the episode after party on Discord!

The capsule, named Resilience, and its SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket rolled out to Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida late Monday into early Tuesday (Nov. 9-10), NASA officials said. The Falcon 9 is scheduled to launch Saturday evening (Nov. 14), sending four astronauts — NASA's Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins and Shannon Walker and Japan's Soichi Noguchi — to the orbiting lab on Crew-1, SpaceX's first operational astronaut mission for NASA. NASA's Commercial Crew Program awarded SpaceX a $2.6 billion contract in 2014 to fly at least six operational crewed missions to the space station. The six-month-long Crew-1 is the first of those contracted flights, but it won't be SpaceX's first-ever astronaut mission. That distinction goes to Demo-2, a test flight that sent NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the station for two months this past summer. SpaceX Kicks-Off Assembly on First Super Heavy Starship Booster in South Texas SpaceX's Super Heavy might be effectively complete in one month, and we couldn't be more excited. Link: https://interestingengineering.com/spacex-kicks-off-assembly-on-first-super-heavy-starship-booster-in-south-texas SpaceX kicks-off Starship Super Heavy assembly in South Texas Technically, SpaceX could build much smaller booster prototypes for the initial test flights into orbit — this might be done via modifying the tank design of Starship — but rocketry isn't an exceedingly modular enterprise, Teslarati reports. However, whether the move comes via confidence or contingency, SpaceX is jumping directly into Starship prototype development, toward a full-scale Super Heavy booster production and testing platform. Super Heavy could be one of SpaceX's easiest projects Indeed, in an inversion of the typical relationship, the next-gen rocket's booster will probably be much simpler than the upper stage — which would be the largest spacecraft with reusable parts and upper stage in the world. Lacking a need for a tiled heat shield, aerodynamic control surfaces (discounting Falcon-style grid fins), a conical nose, and possibly even internal header tanks, the only serious challenge Super Heavy faces for the first time is developing an engine section capable of feeding and supporting up to 28 Raptor engines. Jim Bridenstine will step aside as NASA chief when President-elect Biden takes over: report Link: https://www.space.com/nasa-chief-bridenstine-step-aside-president-biden NASA will apparently be getting a new leader after president-elect Joe Biden is sworn in. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine won't remain in the agency's lead role in the Biden administration even if asked, Aerospace Daily & Defense Report reported on Sunday (Nov. 8). "You need somebody who has a close relationship with the president of the U.S. ... somebody trusted by the administration …. including OMB [Office of Management and Budget], National Space Council, National Security Council," Bridenstine told Irene Klotz, space editor for Aviation Week, Aerospace Daily & Defense Report's parent publication. "I think I would not be the right person for that in a new administration." "There is a political agreement that America needs to do big things in space exploration, that we need to lead the world ... There have been lessons learned from the past, and I think Congress is in a good position to make sure that we have sustainable programs going forward," he said in one of the tweeted snippets.

This Bacterium Survived on The Outside of The Space Station For a Whole Damn Year Link: https://www.sciencealert.com/this-bacterium-survived-on-the-outside-of-the-space-station-for-a-year A year in space is no walk in the park. Just ask Scott Kelly, the American astronaut who spent a year on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2015. His long-term stay in space changed his DNA, telomeres, and gut microbiome, he lost bone density, and he still had sore feet three months later. So, it's quite a feat that a species of bacterium first found in a can of meat, Deinococcus radiodurans, was still alive and kicking after a year spent living on a specially designed platform outside the pressurised module of the ISS. Researchers have been investigating these mighty microbes for a while; back in 2015, an international team set up the Tanpopo mission on the outside of the Japanese Experimental Module Kibo, to put hardy bacterial species to the test. Now, D. radiodurans has passed with flying colours. This isn't the longest time D. radiodurans has been kept in these conditions – back in August we wrote about a sample of the bacterium being left up there for three whole years. But the team weren't trying for a world record, instead they were trying to uncover what makes D. radiodurans just so good at surviving in these extreme conditions. So, after a year of radiation, freezing and boiling temperatures, and no gravity, the researchers got the spacefaring bacteria back down to Earth, rehydrated both a control that had spent the year on Earth and the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) sample, and compared their results. The survival rate was a lot lower for the LEO bacteria compared to the control version, but the bacteria that did survive seemed to be doing okay, even if they had turned a little different to their Earth-bound brethren.

The capsule, named Resilience, and its SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket rolled out to Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida late Monday into early Tuesday (Nov. 9-10), NASA officials said. The Falcon 9 is scheduled to launch Saturday evening (Nov. 14), sending four astronauts — NASA's Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins and Shannon Walker and Japan's Soichi Noguchi — to the orbiting lab on Crew-1, SpaceX's first operational astronaut mission for NASA. NASA's Commercial Crew Program awarded SpaceX a $2.6 billion contract in 2014 to fly at least six operational crewed missions to the space station. The six-month-long Crew-1 is the first of those contracted flights, but it won't be SpaceX's first-ever astronaut mission. That distinction goes to Demo-2, a test flight that sent NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the station for two months this past summer. SpaceX Kicks-Off Assembly on First Super Heavy Starship Booster in South Texas SpaceX's Super Heavy might be effectively complete in one month, and we couldn't be more excited. Link: https://interestingengineering.com/spacex-kicks-off-assembly-on-first-super-heavy-starship-booster-in-south-texas SpaceX kicks-off Starship Super Heavy assembly in South Texas Technically, SpaceX could build much smaller booster prototypes for the initial test flights into orbit — this might be done via modifying the tank design of Starship — but rocketry isn't an exceedingly modular enterprise, Teslarati reports. However, whether the move comes via confidence or contingency, SpaceX is jumping directly into Starship prototype development, toward a full-scale Super Heavy booster production and testing platform. Super Heavy could be one of SpaceX's easiest projects Indeed, in an inversion of the typical relationship, the next-gen rocket's booster will probably be much simpler than the upper stage — which would be the largest spacecraft with reusable parts and upper stage in the world. Lacking a need for a tiled heat shield, aerodynamic control surfaces (discounting Falcon-style grid fins), a conical nose, and possibly even internal header tanks, the only serious challenge Super Heavy faces for the first time is developing an engine section capable of feeding and supporting up to 28 Raptor engines. Jim Bridenstine will step aside as NASA chief when President-elect Biden takes over: report Link: https://www.space.com/nasa-chief-bridenstine-step-aside-president-biden NASA will apparently be getting a new leader after president-elect Joe Biden is sworn in. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine won't remain in the agency's lead role in the Biden administration even if asked, Aerospace Daily & Defense Report reported on Sunday (Nov. 8).

Link: https://nationalinterest.org/feature/china-ready-space-war-165264 On this day in 1969 (51), Americans Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon. They were the first of a select group of Americans to be the only humans to do so. Fast forward to more recent times: in May, the world saw America return to launching American's to space with the SpaceX launch to the International Space Station. Now, in just ten days, NASA will launch its Perseverance rover to Mars, the latest in a fleet of American vehicles on the red planet. Moreover, this return occurs with an embrace of the dynamism of the free market. NASA is getting out of the business of putting astronauts and material into low-Earth orbit. Not only can NASA buy these services at competitive market rates from American firms, stimulating a new sector of the U.S. economy, it can now focus on its greater national priority—expanding U.S. access to deeper space—the Moon, Mars, and beyond.  By transitioning the earth to orbit taxi/freight business to American commercial launchers, it can now take Americans to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Chinese announcements come frequently—plans for Chinese landers, Chinese crew on the Moon, new Chinese space launchers, Chinese plans for a space station, and an upcoming Chinese launch to Mars.  It all sounds impressive—but let's remember, as NASA has learned, it is easier to announce plans than it is to accomplish them. NASA has had eight successful Mars landers/rovers (Viking I/II, Pathfinder, Spirit/Opportunity, Phoenix, Curiosity and InSight) and launched at least six successful Mars orbiters, including some which have returned exquisite science about the planet—the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) includes the HiRISE (The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment at the University of Arizona—the powerful HIRISE camera takes pictures that cover vast areas of Martian terrain while being able to see features as small as a kitchen table.  Only two nations—the United States and the former USSR—have successfully landed a spacecraft on Mars (and the Soviet lander, Mars 3, failed twenty seconds after landing), and only four have successfully put spacecraft in orbit: the United States, the former USSR, European Space Agency and India. Pluto and five moons in our solar system have more water than Earth Link: https://boingboing.net/2020/07/15/pluto-and-five-moons-in-our-so.html There is less water on planet Earth than on Pluto, as revealed in this graphic by NASA's Steve Vance (bio). Moreover, five moons orbiting other worlds in our solar system—Europa, Triton, Callisto, Titan and Ganymede—have more. Ganymede has nearly 40 times as much water as planet Earth! Nasa's Steve Vance Profile - https://science.jpl.nasa.gov/people/Vance/ Steve is an astrobiologist and geophysicist studying the workings of icy ocean worlds and lead for the Habitability team of JPL's Icy Worlds Astrobiology group, part of NASA's Astrobiology Institute. After obtaining his PhD in Geophysics and Astrobiology from the University of Washington, in Seattle, Dr. Vance came to JPL as a NASA Postdoctoral Fellow. He joined JPL as a staff scientist in 2010. He is currently the acting group supervisor for Planetary Chemistry & Astrobiology (3225). Steve studies the interiors of icy bodies like Jupiter's moon, Europa, drawing primarily on expertise in the chemistry of fluids at high pressures. Steve's work address questions of ocean composition, dynamics, and habitability through simulations of icy world ocean chemistry in the laboratory, coupled with theoretical models of fluid circulation in deep oceans. He and the icy worlds team hope to determine chemical signatures of habitability that may make their way to their host body's surface. Steve works with field-deployable instruments for detecting signs of life, or biomarkers. This work may reveal clues to life's origin on Earth and elsewhere, and provides insight about possible analogues on Mars. Elon Musk says SpaceX will try launching a full-size Starship prototype 'later this week,' and the rocket may fly 150 meters high Link: https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-spacex-will-attempt-starship-rocket-prototype-launch-july-2020-7 SpaceX is developing a fully reusable rocket system called Starship-Super Heavy in Boca Chica, Texas. Before the vehicle can fly to orbit, though, the aerospace company first has to show the system's core design works. To that end, founder Elon Musk tweeted on Tuesday that SpaceX's latest Starship prototype, called SN5, could "fly later this week." Documents released by the Federal Aviation Administration in 2019 following a query by Business Insider suggest the prototype could soar nearly 500 feet (150 meters) in the air. "Will attempt to fly later this week," Musk tweeted in response to a question about the status of a Starship prototype called SN5 (short for "serial number 5"). SN5 is the latest of several Starship prototypes that SpaceX has built in Texas. The previous versions have either crumpled during tests or, as was the case on May 29, catastrophically exploded. Each failure has taught SpaceX valuable lessons to inform design and material changes. However, as last year's test launch of an early Starship prototype called Starhopper showed, the flights of such crude experimental vehicles (shown above) can easily impress: On August 27, Starhopper soared about 492 feet (150 meters) into the air, translated across a launch site, and landed on a nearby concrete pad.

Entrevistamos al fotógrafo Nacho Pardo por su trabajo contra la violencia de género, os hablamos de la misión Insight a Marte, las técnicas de reanimación y un Salvador Dalí atómico. TITULAR 1: Localizan al «gemelo perdido» del Sol Un equipo de astrónomos liderado por investigadores del Instituto de Astrofísica y Ciencias del Espacio de Portugal han publicado en “Astronomy & Astrophysics” el hallazgo de una estrella idéntica a la nuestra. Se llama “HD 186302” y está a 184 años luz de la Tierra. Tiene la misma temperatura y luminosidad que el Sol y cuenta con una química casi idéntica, además de tener prácticamente la misma edad, 4.500 millones de años. Los astrónomos del IA se afanan ahora en buscar cualquier señal que revele la presencia de un planeta alrededor, el que sería la «Tierra 2.0». TITULAR 2: El nacimiento de Orion, la nave que podrá viajar hasta Marte. Orion es el vehículo construido por la NASA en colaboración con la Agencia Espacial Europea. Consta de un módulo de servicio que suministra aire, electricidad y propulsión a la nave, y la cabina de la tripulación, un cono truncado con volumen de 20 metros cúbicos y capacidad para seis astronautas. La nave espacial viajará a la órbita de la Luna, desde donde muy pronto se podrán controlar robots para explorar la superficie del satélite y, en un futuro, será capaz de remolcar componentes para construir una estación espacial desde donde se dirigirán misiones a Marte. TITULAR 3: El avión sin hélices ni turbinas que no necesita combustible Un grupo de investigadores del Instituto de Tecnología de Massachusetts ha conseguido volar por primera vez un avión sin partes móviles utilizando la propulsión iónica, que es silenciosa y permite volar aviones sin combustible convencional. La aeronave de cinco metros que pesa dos kilogramos y medio ha volado con éxito en 10 ocasiones en un espacio interior de 60 metros con una altitud promedio de vuelo de medio metro y una velocidad de 4,8 metros por segundo. Este hallazgo abre vías de investigación para el desarrollo de sistemas de propulsión mejorados y el diseño de nuevos aviones. TITULAR 4: Descubren un “luminoso” nuevo ingrediente para la vida Para que un planeta pueda albergar vida tal y como la conocemos, debe reunir requisitos como la presencia de atmósfera, una capa de ozono, agua líquida o una temperatura adecuada para la habitabilidad. Un nuevo estudio publicado por investigadores de la Universidad Nacional de Australia en la revista Monthly Notices de la Royal Astronomical Society, afirma que existe otro ingrediente. Se trata de la luz ultravioleta, que a través de un proceso relacionado con la presión contrarresta la gravedad, disminuyendo la velocidad de formación de estrellas de la galaxia y evitando que estas arrasen cualquier semilla de vida a través de su radiación. TITULAR 5: Elon Musk renombra el cohete BFR de SpaceX, que será usado para ir a Marte El BFR (Big Falcon Rocket, comúnmente apodado Big Fucking Rocket en alusión a sus mastodónticas dimensiones) cambia de nombre. El CEO de la compañía ha revelado en la red social que el BFR pasa a llamar Starship, aunque "técnicamente" estará compuesto de dos partes diferentes, la nave en sí y otra llamada Super Heavy, que "es el propulsor necesario para escapar del pozo de gravedad de la Tierra, ha explicado Musk en un tweet posterior. El nombre completo, por tanto, será Starship Super Heavy. TITULAR 6: Mejora la percepción social de la ciencia, pero aún hay mucho trabajo por hacer Los resultados de la encuesta sobre la Percepción Social de la Ciencia y la Tecnología han sido presentados esta mañana por el ministro de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Pedro Duque, y la directora de FECYT, Paloma Domingo. Los resultados son en cierto modo esperanzadores, pero denotan que aún hay mucho trabajo por hacer en lo que se refiere a concienciación de la población en torno a temas científicos, especialmente con el fin de desmentir mitos tan extendidos y peligrosos como el funcionamiento de algunas pseudoterapias, como la homeopatía.
