Oxygen leak on Spacewalk attempt
|
|
|
Anonymous writes "
An unprecedented spacewalk for the crew of the International Space Station (ISS) was cut short stunningly just minutes after it began when space suit problems started.
Expedition 9 flight engineer Michael Fincke had only been outside the ISS for mere moments when Russian mission controllers detected an unexpected pressure drop in his space suit's primary oxygen bottle."

Armadillo’s Success Liftoff towards the X Prize
|
|
|
Anonymous writes "
A sky-high success has been reported by Armadillo Aerospace of Mesquite, Texas. The group scored a perfect test with the prototype hardware as part of their X Prize project, the Black Armadillo. The Armadillo’s rocket concept makes use of a hydrogen peroxide monopropellant.
Leading Armadillo’s bid to snag the X Prize is John Carmack, co-founder and chief technical engineer of id Software. He admits to being a long-time rocketry enthusiast, anxious to send civilians into space."

Opportunity's move to Mars
|
|
|
Anonymous writes "
The six-wheeled Opportunity Mars Exploration Rover has carefully moved its way over the rim of a large impact crater dubbed Endurance at the Meridiani Planum exploration site.
Rover operators at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California have driven the vehicle forward into the crater. Opportunity's track marks and other data are being studied to guarantee the robot has enough traction to drive deeper over the sloping terrain of the crater. The rover has executed several maneuvers successfully and is proceeding deeper into Endurance."

The first private company to send a person into space
|
|
|
Anonymous writes "
Aircraft designer Burt Rutan and his firm Scaled Composites took a giant leap early Thursday toward becoming the first private company to send a person into space. Scaled Composites, funded by Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Paul Allen, set a new civilian altitude record of 40 miles in a craft called SpaceShipOne during a test flight above California's Mojave Desert."

Europe's Phoenix - Test Flight!
|
|
|
Anonymous writes "
A German-designed unmanned space shuttle prototype will be launched in Sweden's far north after the initial test flight has been done, a project spokeswoman said.
The EADS Phoenix -- European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co. -- a prototype of the future European Shuttle, will be carried to an altitude of 2,400 meters (7,900 feet) by a heavy-duty helicopter and then dropped so it can glide to earth for a landing."

Researchers develop new Flexible wing
|
|
|
Anonymous writes "
Aerospace researchers are working to build a plane with malleable wings that bend and twist during flight. Unlike their fixed-wing cousins, airplanes with flexible wings could lead more efficient and maneuverable aircraft for both military and commercial aviation.
Researchers at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Facility (DFRC) at Edwards Air Force Base, California have already flown a plane with wings that bend, a modernized take on an aviation technique proven for more than 100 years."

Take the 'boom' out of sonic booms
|
|
|
Anonymous writes "
Traveling by airplane is fast, but traveling supersonic is faster. The trouble is the sonic boom caused by breaking the sound barrier. But a joint program between NASA, the military and the aerospace industry is working to eliminate the 'boom' out of sonic booms by changing the shape of supersonic aircraft. The program may lead not only to better military jets, but also to another age of commercial air travel at faster than the speed of sound.
While supersonic aircraft have been military workhorses since Chuck Yeager's historic faster-than-sound flight in 1947, the only passenger supersonic airplane was the Concorde, a joint British-French endeavor shut down in 2003 due to rising maintenance costs and a slide in passenger revenue."

U.S. approves the first private rocket
|
|
|
Anonymous writes "
The US government has issued the first license for a manned suborbital rocket, a step toward opening commercial space flight for private individuals for the first time.
The FAA on Wednesday gave a one-year license to Scaled Composites of Mojave, California, headed by Burt Rutan. Rutan, who hopes to make affordable space travel a reality in a decade, is best known for designing the Voyager airplane that made the first nonstop, un-refueled flight around the world in 1986."

Einstein Theory to be Tested
|
|
|
Anonymous writes "
A NASA spacecraft designed to test two important predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity is set to launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Ca., at 1300 EDT, April 17.
NASA's Gravity Probe B mission, also known as GP-B, will use four ultra-precise gyroscopes, orbiting the Earth in a unique satellite, to experimentally test two extraordinary predictions of Einstein's 1916 theory that space and time are distorted by the presence of massive objects. The two effects being tested are: The geodetic effect, the amount by which the Earth warps local spacetime in which it resides, and the frame-dragging effect, the amount by which the Earth drags local spacetime around with it as it rotates."

NASA to Announce 'Significant Findings' of Water on Mars
|
|

Anonymous writes "
NASA will hold a press conference Tuesday to announce "significant findings" about water on Mars based on evidence from its Opportunity Mars rover.
"It's going to be the most significant science results that we've had from the rovers, and it's bearing on their primary mission," NASA spokesperson Don Savage said. That mission is to find signs of water that might support life."

Spacewalking while station empty
|

Anonymous writes "
The 2 man crew of the international space station will go outside the craft at the same time this week, despite earlier concerns that the exercise was a risk not worth taking.
Ground controllers are to fly the empty space station, while British-born NASA astronaut Michael Foale and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Kaleri conduct the spacewalk, leaving no one inside to monitor systems directly or assist in a crisis."

Shuttle Might Not Launch Until March 2005
|
|
|
Anonymous writes "
NASA will most likely not fly a space shuttle until March 2005 allowing additional studies into the foam insulation coating on the craft's external fuel tank.
More detailed computer models, as well as a large wind tunnel test, are needed to generate a clearer picture of how foam insulation behaves during launch."
