TODAY IN HISTORY ! 🚀 First hydrogen/oxygen powered rocket launched : Centaur On November 27, 1963, a significant event unfolded as the first successful launch of the inaugural Atlas/Centaur took place. Although no payload was onboard, this formidable rocket achieved a momentous milestone—the inaugural in-flight ignition of a liquid-hydrogen/liquid-oxygen engine. Subsequent noteworthy accomplishments quickly followed. 🚀Characteristics The Centaur, a family of rocket upper stages by United Launch Alliance (ULA), consists of an active version and one in development. The 3.05 m (10.0 ft) Common Centaur/Centaur III serves as the upper stage for the Atlas V, while the 5.4 m (18 ft) Centaur V is designed for ULA's new Vulcan rocket. Notably, Centaur was the first to use the challenging yet high-energy combination of liquid hydrogen (LH2) and liquid oxygen (LOX) propellants. Centaur utilized stainless steel pressure-stabilized balloon tanks with thin walls (0.51 mm) to lift payloads up to 19,000 kg. A common bulkhead separated LOX and LH2 tanks, reducing mass and minimizing heat transfer. The Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10 engines allowed up to twelve restarts, aiding in complex orbital insertions. The reaction control system (RCS) with twenty hydrazine engines supported ullage and other functions, using 150 kg of hydrazine stored in bladder tanks. 📸 : NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Let's Lift-off !

Looking for important problems to solve? Take a look at the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Civil Space Shortfall Ranking [1] published in July this year. The number one problem is "Survive and operate through the lunar night." This is a tough problem. Its one of the reasons that some missions only last a few days on the moon. The surface temperature in the lunar night is -208°F (-133°C). That is almost as cold as liquid methane. At the bottom of the deepest craters, where the sun never shines, temperatures drop to -410°F (-246°C). [2] That is colder than the surface of Pluto! [3] On the bright side, when the sun shines, the temperature can reach 250F (121C), more than enough to boil water. And, every 14 days, the moon cycles between these extremes. The number two problem is "High Power Energy Generation on Moon and Mars Surfaces". That is another tough problem. However, unlike the lunar night problem, this statement is both a solution and a problem. The real problem is high power availability on the Moon and Mars surfaces. When the problem statement is opened up, generating power in orbit and beaming to the surface is an option. And, #space based solar power, #SBSP, can provide 24/7 power with less mass than anything else. By the way, lots of power also makes it a much easier to survive the lunar night. If you read the report, there are almost 200 additional problems that need work. We're working on the power generation one. 😉 Virtus Solis Technologies #deeptech #hardtech #spacetech #energy

Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface. It consists of Lander and Rover configuration. It will be launched by LVM3 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota. The propulsion module will carry the lander and rover configuration till 100 km lunar orbit. The propulsion module has Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth (SHAPE) payload to study the spectral and Polari metric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit. Lander payloads: Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) to measure the thermal conductivity and temperature; Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) for measuring the seismicity around the landing site; Langmuir Probe (LP) to estimate the plasma density and its variations. A passive Laser Retroreflector Array from NASA is accommodated for lunar laser ranging studies. Rover payloads: Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) for deriving the elemental composition in the vicinity of landing site. Chandrayaan-3 consists of an indigenous Lander module (LM), Propulsion module (PM) and a Rover with an objective of developing and demonstrating new technologies required for Inter planetary missions. The Lander will have the capability to soft land at a specified lunar site and deploy the Rover which will carry out in-situ chemical analysis of the lunar surface during the course of its mobility. The Lander and the Rover have scientific payloads to carry out experiments on the lunar surface. The main function of PM is to carry the LM from launch vehicle injection till final lunar 100 km circular polar orbit and separate the LM from PM. Apart from this, the Propulsion Module also has one scientific payload as a value addition which will be operated post separation of Lander Module. The launcher identified for Chandrayaan-3 is LVM3 M4 which will place the integrated module in an Elliptic Parking Orbit (EPO) of size ~170 x 36500 km.#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

Webinar Alert! Join the Flight Opportunities February 7 webinar “Leveraging Iterative Flight Testing to Advance Dust Sensor to Aid in Lunar Landings” to hear researchers speak about Ejecta STORM (Sheet Tracking, Opacity, and Regolith Maturity). The instrument was designed to measure the size and speed of surface particles kicked up by the exhaust from a rocket-powered lander on the Moon or Mars. Researchers will explore how they embraced the Flight Opportunities program’s “fly, fix, fly” ethos to advance their plume-surface interaction technology – from a 2020 flight campaign to a 2023 series of flight tests on Astrobotic’s Xodiac rocket-powered lander. In a discussion with Flight Opportunities, researchers and Astrobotic will share valuable lessons learned on iterative flight testing to mature a technology that could reduce risk for lunar landings.  https://lnkd.in/ecaQYVBa #spacetechnology #suborbitalresearch   

Earth’s invisible shield that protects life from the Sun's fury 👀 The Sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona, is so hot that particles escape its gravity and stream outward as solar wind. This solar wind is a constant flow of charged particles, mostly protons and electrons, traveling at speeds over 1 million mph. As the Sun rotates, its magnetic field lines get wound into rotating spirals above the poles. These open field lines allow particles to flow outwards along them, creating coronal holes that appear dark in X-ray and ultraviolet images. The solar wind drags the Sun's magnetic field along with it, forming an interplanetary magnetic field that surrounds all the planets. When the supersonic solar wind reaches Earth, our planet's magnetic field deflects most of the particles around itself, forming a protective bubble called the magnetosphere. Where the solar wind meets this field, a bow shock wave forms. Inside the magnetosphere, the solar wind piles up in the magnetosheath before reaching the magnetopause boundary. Thanks to our planet's magnetic shielding, the solar wind does not directly impact Earth's atmosphere. The interaction of the solar wind with Earth's magnetosphere does drive space weather effects that can impact satellites, communications, and power grids. Overall though, our magnetic field protects life on Earth from the harsh solar wind. #earth #solarsystem #sun #solarwind #magnetosphere #sciencefacts #scicomm #science #research #curiosity NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

With pilots, there is an old saying that any landing you walk from is a good landing. With landers, the equivalent is any landing that sends data home is a good landing. Using that criteria, JAXA has a good landing! Congratulations! The JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency #SLIM team rated their lander as having a 40% chance of successfully landing. The odds weren't in its favor. However, even landing upside down, it was able to take a self-portrait. This result demonstrates an important point about operations in space. Counter-intuitively, complexity can improve reliability. The #SLIM mission consisted of three systems, the lander and two rovers. The rovers were ejected before landing, so if any of the three systems worked, there was a chance to get data back. Assuming there was a 40% chance for each system to land, there is a 94% chance than at least one part would succeed! One of the rovers successfully sent photos home. As more capability is deployed in a #space mission, the overall #reliability can improve. Redundancy and flexibility improve reliability as a system gets bigger. Space based solar power (#SBSP) satellites are an example of large and complex system that benefits from this effect. A SBSP system will consist of a satellite and assembly/maintenance robots. These parts can work together for improved reliability and robustness to the unexpected. An initial, but incorrect, estimate of reliability would be the product of the reliability of each individual component. In this case, each additional component increases the failure rate. However, it is possible to have an SBSP architecture with the majority of the the components work in parallel. In this case, the reliability is equal to 1 minus the product of the component failure rates. Each additional component increases reliability! As launch capability increases and costs decrease, entirely new design paradigms can be applied in space engineering. Virtus Solis Technologies #deeptech #hardtech #spacetech #spaceindustry

Bellatrix Aerospace, a #spacestartup located in Bengaluru, has scheduled the launch of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C55 on Saturday. The vehicle is carrying an experimental payload called the Hall-effect thruster (HET). The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will use the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module (POEM), where the rocket's last stage serves as an #orbitalplatform for orbital experiments, to house the ARKA-series HET, which will demonstrate the #solarelectric propulsion engine for small satellites. According to Bellatrix Aerospace co-founder Yashas Karanam, "it is something like taking this #evrevolution to space, but actually, the technology is much more complex and very different from how we operate here," PTI was told. According to him, Bellatrix's HET #technology offers a significantly higher specific impulse or mileage in comparison to classic rockets, hence decreasing reliance on #harmful and carcinogenic traditional fuels like hydrazine. According to Karanam, Bellatrix has prioritised maximum #indigenization of sub-systems over reliance on outside vendors. "With this particular launch, we would be in a position to validate and reassure ourselves of our indigenisation capabilities across the spectrum for all the subsystems that have gone into it," according to him. Solar panels positioned around the PS4 tank and a Li-Ion battery provide electricity to the POEM component of a #PSLV. With the help of a helium gas storage, it carries specialised control thrusters and navigates using four #sunsensors, a magnetometer, gyros, and NavIC. Telecommand functionality is enabled, according to the #isro. The Singaporean earth observation satellite TeLEOS-2 will be the primary payload of the PSLV C55 mission. Additionally, it will launch Lumilite-4, a satellite that was jointly created by the National University of Singapore's #satellitetechnology and Research Centre (STAR) and A*STAR's Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) into orbit. The POEM component will also carry payloads from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, DhruvaSpace, and the ISRO in addition to the ARKA-series HET. https://lnkd.in/fzpnPPW #spacequalification #propulsionsystems #spacestartup #PolarSatellite #solarelectric #satellites #IndianSpace #satellitetechnology #commercialspace #spaceexploration Bellatrix Aerospace Saurabh Nerkar
