🚀 What an exhilarating adventure we had with a Bristol Scouts troop, diving into the world of rockets! Massive thanks to Dan for the invitation to their hut, and to all the dedicated Scout leaders who joined forces to make this event a soaring success! We set up 5 dynamic stations, to cover as many aspects of rockets as possible! Out in the open at our propulsion station, we ignited excitement with water bottle rockets, great fun for both us and the scouts. At the launch vehicle station we discussed the stability of rockets, and demonstrated this through the 'stability on a string' excercise using sub-scale rockets we have flown previously. Our fins station became a hub of aerodynamic enlightenment, as well as equipping their models with some plywood fins. Over at the recovery station, we engineered parachutes and conducted drop tests, showing the relationship between parachute area and rate of descent. The nosecone station buzzed with creativity as scouts crafted their own paper nosecones, and engaged in lively discussions on the various payloads that have made their way to space. By the night's end, every scout proudly held their very own model rocket, complete with fins, nosecone, and parachute, a testament to their newfound expertise! This outreach marked a milestone for our team, as it is the most hands-on and interactive engagement we have done. The flood of positive feedback from parents only fueled our enthusiasm further, reinforcing our belief that we've ignited the spark of curiosity in the next generation of rocketeers!

New Post: Elegy for Ingenuity, a tiny helicopter - https://lnkd.in/dv35DYpi - When the Perseverance rover touched down on Mars on February 18, 2021, it was carrying a tiny passenger. Attached to its underside was a helicopter that would attempt something new for a NASA Mars mission: flight. Producing lift isn't an easy task in the thin atmosphere of Mars, but if they could prove it was possible it would open up new possibilities for exploring areas that are hard to reach by traditional rovers. — Read the rest The post Elegy for Ingenuity, a tiny helicopter appeared first on Boing Boing. - #news #business #world -------------------------------------------------- Download: Stupid Simple CMS - https://lnkd.in/g4y9XFgR -------------------------------------------------- or download at SourceForge - https://lnkd.in/gNqB7dnp

The Curiosity rover, which has been exploring Mars since 2012, has achieved an impressive milestone: more than 11 years without tire fitting or repair. This remarkable feat is evident in the condition of one of its wheels, which has remained in excellent shape despite the harsh Martian environment and the rover's extensive travels across the Red Planet.The Curiosity rover's wheels have been designed to withstand the rigors of Martian terrain, including rocky outcrops, sand dunes, and the occasional impact crater. The wheels' durability and the rover's advanced navigation capabilities have allowed it to cover over 27 miles (43 kilometers) since its landing, providing invaluable insights into Mars' geology, climate, and potential for life. #technology #aerospace #space #spacemission #moon #rocket #rockets #spaceexploration #aerospace #satellite #satellites #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #spacecraft #spacenews #spacestation #MARS
