It's GO TIME! Vibration Testing of the Sierra Space Dream Chaser! The Dream Chaser space plane is the first-ever winged commercial space plane that will open shared access to space and international collaboration for all humankind. The multi-mission space plane fleet is designed to transport crew and cargo to low-Earth orbit (LEO) and can be customized for both domestic and international customers for global operations. Dream Chaser joins Sierra Space’s cargo module, Shooting Star™, which arrived at the NASA’s test facility in November. The two vehicles are set to be stacked in launch configuration and undergo rigorous environmental testing, starting in the Mechanical Vibration Facility (MVF). The tests will subject them to the extreme conditions of launch vibrations on the world’s most powerful spacecraft shaker table – a three-axis, 6-degree-of-freedom, servo hydraulic, sinusoidal base-shake vibration system – designed, engineered, and built by Team Corporation and controlled by a Data Physics Corporation Multi-Shaker Controller with 80 input channels that can be used in any combination of Control, Limit, or Measurement channels. #vibrationtesting #vibrationcontrol #nasa #aerospaceengineering https://lnkd.in/gY6FyFh9

Sorry to poop the nostalgia party but this Shuttle video gives me the chills for a completely different reason than most responses in the original post. I remember (watching live on UK TV) the 1986 Challenger disaster and being with a peer group of space enthusiasts and professionals at the International Space University during the catastrophic last mission of the Columbus in 2003. I had a Challenger poster on my bedroom wall as a kid. I was a fanboy. And then I started to learn more about the avoidable deaths (14 lives tragically cut short). To me the Shuttle programme represents some of the worst wrongs of the space industry. A badly compromised design that lost track of its purpose, in part due to meddling from the defense stakeholders, a culture of mission pressure and ass-covering over candid risk management at NASA (aka “go fever”), and a huge amount of lies and exaggerations told to the US public about its safety and cost. Despite Feynman’s lucid and credible account of his investigation into Challenger (great read btw), NASA largely ignored the urgent need for culture change and more died as a result. Factoring in lifecycle, it ended up costing $1.5B per launch, had over 1% fatality rate and was (in my view) over-used for missions that were better suited to un-crewed launchers. I operated satellites that had been designed to be launched on the shuttle, but were eventually launched on other vehicles following Challenger’s catastrophic failure. Asides from self-justification (i.e a better denominator for the cost equation), nobody could explain to me why one would launch a GEO communications satellite from a crewed vehicle. We have come a very long way technically since the Shuttle was designed - but if the wave of upcoming human space missions are to be a success and merit their cost and risk, I sincerely hope people have taken heed of the many lessons the history of the Shuttle can teach us. https://lnkd.in/e3WejpYr

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم From plasma to polar aurone visible in the sky of Europe on the night of 10 May 2024 that total stop communication 🤔 https://lnkd.in/eq6ZWxpf "سنريهم آياتنا في الآفاق وفي أنفسهم حتى يتبين لهم أنه الحق " سورة فصلت صدق رب الملكوت From plasma to particles that ionize the atoms of the upper atmosphere ( ionosphere). The excited atom cannot remain in this quantum state ( n) then state(n+1 ), and an electron then changes layer, releasing a little energy in the process, by emitting a photon (elementary particle constituting visible light) which can be represented by an infinitesimal wave vector Vupr(ن ) (unit vector of released Photon) as described by Dr.Feynman (رحمه الله) in chapter 39_3 of compressibilitie of radiation. https://lnkd.in/gDZxeNtJ?

🚀 Did you know? In our work, we also team up with NOAA, who partners with NASA on the development of the GOES-U satellite and other amazing satellites. We're right there in the action, contributing to some of the coolest space projects around. How awesome is that? #Nasa #CSExGoesU #ProjectSuccess #TeamExcellence #InnovationInAction

Water is more than just a resource; it’s the foundation for sustainable life on Mars. Here’s why: Drinking Water Essential for human survival, access to water is crucial for any long-term Mars mission or colony. Supporting Plant Life Water enables the growth of plants, which are vital for food production and oxygen generation. Splitting for Oxygen and Hydrogen By splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen, we can breathe, fuel rockets, and store energy. While hydrogen as a energy vector evidently is impractical on Earth, in space, it could be a valuable energy vector until infrastructure develops. Cooling and Radiation Shielding Water also plays a key role in cooling systems and shielding habitats from radiation, enhancing both safety and functionality. Economic Feasibility Discovering water on Mars would drastically cut down on the need to transport this precious resource from Earth, making colonization efforts far more economical and viable. Securing a reliable source of water on Mars isn't just a technical challenge; it's a critical step towards making our Martian dreams a reality. #Mars #SpaceExploration #Econauts #whatisSPIDER

The Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle was an engineering marvel, designed to operate on the harsh lunar surface. Now, NASA has even higher goals for the #Artemis-generation Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV). #SpaceTechnology Read "NASA Moves Forward with Development of LTV" by Kevin Wilcox to learn more about the LTV and industry partners involved: https://lnkd.in/euQkz57s

Dreaming of a faster internet speed? NASA is living the dream with a 91MB per second Wi-Fi connection. But let's face it, they probably need it more than we all do. It is with no doubt that those speeds are advancing science forward! #NASA #InternetSpeed #CloudConsoleIT
