Thinking of heading to the moon’s south pole? Have you thought about where will you “park” your #spacecraft? Thermal #simulation can help you find the ideal landing zone to maximize energy management. Watch this video to see how we use #Simcenter3D #Space Systems #Thermal to model the lunar surface and the thermal effects of lunar night and day.
Waouh ... thanks for sharing: never realized a strategy was required to park a spacecraft !

German space launch start-up, Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA), recently achieved a major milestone by conducting a hot-fire engine test of its three-stage RFA ONE rocket at the SaxaVord Spaceport in Unst, Shetland. The test, which took place on 16 May, involved firing all four Helix engines for a combined duration of 20 seconds. This successful test marks a significant advancement towards the company's goal of executing the first vertical orbital launch from the UK. #SpaceInnovation #RocketFactoryAugsburg #SpaceTechnology #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation

Did you know that the fastest spinning celestial object in the universe is a Neutron star called PSR J1748-2446? This extraordinary star rotates an astonishing 716 times every second, moving its equator at about 25% the speed of light. In addition, PSR J1748-2446 is 50 trillion times denser than lead and possesses a magnetic field a trillion times stronger than the Sun's. #SpaceFacts #NeutronStar #Astronomy #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation

The sun has emitted a powerful X7.1 solar flare, expected to reach Earth by October 5. Initial analyses indicate no direct threat to human safety; however, this event is likely to trigger an extreme geomagnetic storm. Such storms can disrupt satellite communications and navigation systems while also creating stunning auroras. #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation

NASA has announced that the Parker Solar Probe will make its closest-ever flyby of the Sun's surface on Christmas Eve, coming within 3.8 million miles (approximately 6.1 million kilometers). This historic event marks a significant milestone, as "no human-made object has ever passed this close to a star." The probe is set to reach astonishing speeds of around 430,000 miles per hour, making it the fastest artificial object ever created. This unprecedented approach will allow scientists to gather valuable data about the Sun's outer atmosphere and its dynamics. #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation #sun

On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger tragically exploded just 73 seconds after liftoff, resulting in the loss of all seven crew members. The disaster was attributed to the failure of an O-ring seal in one of the solid rocket boosters, which allowed hot gases to escape and damage the external fuel tank. This catastrophic event shocked the nation and led to a suspension of the shuttle program for nearly three years while investigations and safety improvements were implemented. The Challenger disaster remains a somber reminder of the risks associated with space exploration and has had a lasting impact on NASA's safety protocols and engineering practices. #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation #Challenger #spaceshuttle

Potentially habitable exoplanet with Earth-like size and temperatures detected just 40 light years away. The planet is about the size of Venus, so slightly smaller than Earth, and may be temperate enough to support life, researchers for the Royal Astronomical Society say. It’s called Gliese 12 b and takes 12.8 days to orbit a star that is 27% of the sun’s size. BUT it’s not yet known whether the exoplanet has an atmosphere. #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation #earth

The atmospheric pressure on the surface of Venus is a staggering 92 times that of Earth, equivalent to the pressure found approximately 900 meters (3,000 feet) below the surface of the ocean. This extreme environment makes Venus one of the most inhospitable places in our solar system, with temperatures reaching as high as 462°C (863°F) and a crushing atmosphere that would be lethal to any known form of life. #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation

NASA has unveiled an exciting animation showcasing the next-generation Mars helicopter, known as the "Mars Chopper." This innovative concept is designed as a follow-up to the successful Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, which has paved the way for aerial exploration on the Red Planet. The animation illustrates the potential capabilities of the Mars Chopper, which aims to not only scout terrain but also carry scientific instruments to study areas inaccessible to rovers. As NASA continues to push the boundaries of interplanetary exploration, this new helicopter could play a crucial role in future missions, enhancing our understanding of Mars and its environment. #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation

Recent images of the Curiosity rover's wheel are concerning, revealing significant damage as it continues its exploration of Mars. The latest photo, taken on September 22, 2024, shows extensive wear, including large tears and gashes. While this deterioration raises alarms, experts assure us that the rover remains operational and capable of fulfilling its mission. The wheel's condition reflects over a decade of navigating the harsh Martian terrain, but Curiosity's engineering has proven resilient. NASA continues to monitor the situation closely, implementing software updates to mitigate further damage and extend the rover's lifespan. #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation #mars #marsrover
