One of the next challenges for the next generation of engineers, expanding on the exploration of the Solar system and developing the space industry. The Europa Clipper will not orbit Europa, but instead orbit Jupiter and conduct 44 flybys of Europa at altitudes from 25 km to 2,700km (16 mi to 1,678 mi) each during its 3.5-year mission. Europa Clipper’s main science goal is to determine whether there are places below the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, that could support life. There's already so many places left to explore in the Solar system that needs engineers to design and implement the tech needed to collect the data and help us move beyond earth 🌎 #Nasa #Engineering #STEM ----- Connect with me and enable notifications (🔔) for daily insights on engineering excellence, mentorship, and personal development.   Join the Engineering journey of unlocking your potential and experiencing continuous growth! 🌱   Found this post useful? then please consider sharing with your networks ♻

First mission on #FreeFlyer with the help of FreeFlyer University Guide a.i. solutions ! For this scenario, we have the Keplerian Elements of two different spacecraft and we want to compare the speeds of those spacecraft during a 2-day period.

The Psyche spacecraft is still a few years away from its destination — so, until then, Lindy Elkins-Tanton, principal investigator of #MissionToPsyche, is excited about a new educational opportunity: a course titled “Countless Worlds in our Solar System: Asteroids, Comets, and Meteorites.” Learn the latest updates about the Psyche mission as well as how to enroll in the course here ➡️: https://ow.ly/jK2e50SFH3n

Are UFOs actually alien spacecraft visiting us from other galaxies? In this episode, Dr. Ross explains whether that explanation works and whether we would actually benefit from such a visit. https://hubs.li/Q02B_kHk0

Via conventional rocketry (or New Horizon's speed) it would take a minimum of 405 days over 1 year to reach Jupiter via manned spacecraft.(https://lnkd.in/gDaNTqs9) Current projections for #CTPcraft would take us less than 2 days or sooner.

Recently, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration launched the Psyche spacecraft, a 6-year journey to explore a metal asteroid. 20 years ago, European Space Agency - ESA launched the Mars Express aircraft to map the surface of mars in greater detail. One thing's for certain, if space exploration is your dream, you better have a "long game" mindset. The relatively recent increase in private/public partnerships has dramatically increased humanity's presence in space and offers mankind the greatest hope of becoming a multi-planetary species. We live in amazing times. #space #TheFutureIsNow #SpaceIsHard

Asteroid samples from Bennu arrived on Earth earlier this week! A few of these rocks will be displayed for the public at three museums in the US, including the Smithsonian in Washington DC. The asteroid rocks were brought to Earth by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission and will be analyzed by scientists in the US and around the world, probably for decades to come. Moon rocks from the Apollo missions are still being actively analyzed. 🌖 Learn more in the Moog blog post!
