Pulsed plasma rocket development accelerates manned missions to Mars, Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 02, 2024 Advancements in space technology may soon allow humans and cargo to travel to Mars efficiently and quickly. Existing spacecraft require significant velocities due to the vast distances in space, necessitating propulsion systems with both high thrust and high specific impulse. Current technologies fall short of these requirements. Howe Industries is developing a propulsion system capable of, : Los Angeles

SMART REUSABLE L.E.O. SPACECRAFT HAVE WINGS Forget capsules and parachutes! - Wings allow for controlled gliding and landing, which is safer and more energy-efficient than vertical landing. - Can land on conventional runways, making abort safer and recovery and turnaround faster and easier. - Gliding to a stop can be gentler on the spacecraft's structure and human on board compared to a vertical landing. (Of course going to Mars or the Moon is a different story).

We are excited to share a video showcasing the deployment of the LP-PWI boom of Juice spacecraft. This boom houses the Langmuir probes, which are part of the Radio and Plasma Wave Investigation of the Juice mission. The LP-PWI boom is a two-segment, non-synchronized boom with no dampers, resulting in a very dynamic deployment. The sound was created using vibration signals measured in space by HAA (High Accuracy Accelerometer, which is part of 3GM Radio Science Experiment), matched with the ground testing video of the same deployment. This allows you to imagine sound of the spacecraft 'deploying its limbs' in space. 🛰️⚙️ For more information about this video and the mission, visit the X profile of ESA’s Juice: https://lnkd.in/eGyGnPmc #JuiceMission #SpaceExploration #ESA #SpaceTechnology

"The Space Report 2024 Q1 Finds Growth in U.S. Space Workforce, Record 2024 Launch Pace, Leaps in Commercial and Civil Spacecraft Technology -U.S. private space workforce grew 4.8% in 2023, with strong launch-related hiring - 2024 is off to the fastest start of the Space Age, with 41 launches before March - Moon landings are reaching their highest frequency since the early 1970s Lost payloads climb to an eight-year high, but overall loss percentage remains stable" https://lnkd.in/euwfcM9B read & learn more #US #Space #newspaceeconomy #spaceeconomy

The SwRI-led Polarimeter to UNify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) spacecraft underwent acoustic testing to prepare for launch early next year. The acoustic testing system at SwRI’s San Antonio headquarters simulates the harsh environment of a rocket launch. By bombarding spacecraft with acoustic noise from six speakers blaring at up to 150 decibels, scientists can ensure spacecraft will survive launch to work as designed once in space. A constellation of four suitcase-sized PUNCH satellites will enter polar orbit to continuously image the Sun’s outer atmosphere as it transitions into the solar wind. https://ow.ly/m93R50TNxIY

Falcon 9 launch of Polaris Dawn is planned for Tuesday, 10 September. The Polaris Dawn mission, part of the Polaris Program, aims to achieve several milestones in human space exploration: 1. Conduct the first commercial spacewalk: Crew members will attempt the first-ever private extravehicular activity (EVA) outside a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. 2. Test new space technology: The mission will demonstrate and test Starlink laser-based communications in space, advancing technologies for long-duration missions. 3. Study human health in space: Extensive biomedical research will be conducted to understand the effects of space travel on human health, with a focus on radiation and pressure-related challenges during spacewalks. 4. Reach a higher Earth orbit: The mission plans to fly to a record-setting altitude for a crewed orbit since the Apollo era, expanding knowledge on Earth's atmosphere and radiation belts. These achievements will help pave the way for future deep-space missions, including those to the Moon and Mars. #polarisdawn #Starlink #SpaceX #Dragon #SpaceMission #NASA
