16 Oct 2021 12:05 (10 hari lalu) - (Reuters) - NASA is set on Saturday to launch a first-of-its kind mission, dubbed Lucy, to study Jupiter's Trojan asteroids, two large clusters of space rocks that scientists believe are remnants of primordial material that formed the solar system's outer planets. The space probe, packed inside a special cargo capsule, is due for liftoff from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 5:34 a.m. EDT (0934 GMT), carried aloft by an Atlas (NYSE: ATCO) V rocket from United Launch Alliance (UAL), a joint venture of Boeing (NYSE: BA) Co and Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE: LMT). If all goes according to plan, Lucy will be hurled into space on a 12 ...

14 Oct 2021 13:21 (12 hari lalu) - By Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen QEQERTARSUATSIAAT FJORD, Greenland (Reuters) - Among the glaciers and turquoise fjords of southwestern Greenland, a mining company is betting rock similar to the one the Apollo missions brought back from the moon can address some of Planet Earth's climate change problems. "This rock was created in the early days in the formation of our planet," says geologist Anders Norby-Lie, who began exploring anorthosite at the remote mountain landscape in Greenland nine years ago. More recently, it has excited mining companies and investors hoping to sell it as a relatively sustainable source of aluminium as well as an ingre ...

18 Sep 2021 17:10 (1 bulan 8 hari lalu) - By Steve Gorman (Reuters) - The quartet of newly minted citizen astronauts comprising the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission were due to splash down in the Atlantic off Florida on Saturday, completing a three-day flight of the first all-civilian crew ever launched into Earth orbit. To prepare for atmospheric re-entry and return to Earth, the SpaceX Crew Dragon vehicle completed two rocket "burns" on Friday to lower its altitude and line up the capsule's trajectory with the targeted landing site. The Dragon capsule, dubbed Resilience, is scheduled to parachute into the sea around 7 p.m. Eastern time, shortly before sunset, according to SpaceX, the ...

12 Sep 2021 17:35 (1 bulan 14 hari lalu) - By Steve Gorman (Reuters) - Yet another billionaire entrepreneur is set to ride into space this week, strapped inside the capsule of a SpaceX rocketship, as part of an astro-tourist team poised to make history as the first all-civilian crew launched into Earth orbit. Jared Isaacman, the American founder and chief executive of e-commerce firm Shift4 Payments, will lead three fellow spaceflight novices on a trip expected to last three days from blastoff at Cape Canaveral, Florida, to splashdown in the Atlantic. The 38-year-old tech mogul has plunked down an unspecified but presumably exorbitant sum to fellow billionaire and SpaceX owner Elon ...

Johnson (Reuters) -Boeing Co on Tuesday postponed the planned launch of its CST-100 Starliner capsule from Florida's Cape Canaveral bound for the International Space Station due to a glitch in what was to have been a crucial do-over test flight following a near-catastrophic failure during its 2019 debut. During pre-launch preparations, Boeing (NYSE: BA) engineers detected "unexpected valve position indications" in its propulsion system, Boeing said in a statement. The problem was detected during checks after electrical storms in the region, Boeing added. "We're disappointed with today's outcome and the need to reschedule our Sta ...

31 Jul 2021 08:09 (2 bulan 27 hari lalu) - By Andrew Osborn and Alexander Marrow MOSCOW (Reuters) -A software glitch, and possible lapse in human attention, were to blame for throwing the International Space Station out of control, but work was proceeding to activate a newly attached module at the centre of the mishap, Russian space officials said on Friday. Jet thrusters on the Russian research module Nauka inadvertently reignited on Thursday a few hours after it had docked to the space station, causing the entire orbital outpost to pitch out of its normal flight position some 250 miles above the Earth with seven crew members aboard. According to NASA's account of the incident, th ...

The Starliner launch delay was announced a day before it was due for blastoff from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida atop a Boeing Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE: LMT) Atlas (NYSE: ATCO) V rocket. NASA said the space agency and Boeing decided to push back the launch date to Aug. 3, with Aug. 4 set as an immediate backup. "We wanted to make sure ...
