NASA's Orion capsule reaches lunar orbit, will return to Earth on December 11


- Orion will fly about 40,000 miles above the moon

- Orion is launched at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston

- Orion was traveling more than 5,700 miles from the surface of the Moon

- The Orion capsule will reach the farthest from the Moon during the mission

New delhi date. 26 November 2022, Saturday

The US space agency has completed the process of inserting the Orion spacecraft into lunar orbit under the Artemis I Moon mission. Orion will fly about 40,000 miles above the moon. Orion is launched at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. Orion was traveling more than 5,700 miles from the moon's surface, the furthest it will reach the moon during the mission.

While in lunar orbit, flight controllers will monitor key systems and checkout the deep space environment. "Due to orbital distance, it will take Orion about a week to complete a half-orbit around the Moon, where it will exit orbit for a return trip," the US space agency said in a statement.

About four days later the spacecraft will once again use the Moon's gravitational pull. The lunar flyby will burn precisely timed to slingshot Orion back to Earth before splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on December 11. "The Orion spacecraft will break the record for the longest distance by a spacecraft designed to carry humans into space and return them safely to Earth," NASA said.

NASA will investigate pollution spreading from Earth into space

Image
Washington, Dt. 20 July 2022 Wednesday Each year, more than 1 billion metric tons of dust and sand are blown into the atmosphere by fast winds. Scientists know that dust affects the environment and climate, but they don't currently have enough data to determine what effect this has or what might happen in the future. For this recently SpaceX Dragon spacecraft has been launched at the International Space Station. Hereby NASA has sent the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation Device. Which will help the scientists in this matter. EMIT's state-of-the-art imaging spectrometer is built by the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. The spectrometer will measure more than a billion dust particles around the world over the course of a year. EMIT is going to do a lot of important work by going into space. This will identify the composition of mineral dust from arid regions of the Earth. Desert areas generate the most mineral dust, which is released ...

5G will be launched in the country from Gandhinagar: PM Modi will inaugurate

Image
Ahmedabad. 21 July 2022, Thursday The fifth generation (5G) services, which are capable of the fastest data transfer in mobile services, will be launched in Gujarat's capital Gandhinagar in the country. It is known that these services will be dedicated to the country by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and will start on August 15 when the country is completing 75 years of independence. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to come to Gujarat after the Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort and start the services. The auction of spectrum for 5G services in the country is set to begin this week and the Adani group has also shown interest in bidding in addition to Reliance Jio, Vodafone Idea and Airtel. However, Adani has announced that this spectrum purchase is only for providing enterprise services, so customers will only get services from three companies. Before the launch, testing of 5G services in Gujarat took place in Gandhinagar, Jamnagar and Vadodara. Tests were cond...

In a first in history, NASA lost contact with the ISS in a power outage, leaving scientists confused.

Image
This was the first time such a situation had occurred at NASA headquarters due to which NASA lost contact with the space station. As it turned out, the power went out at NASA's headquarters in Houston, although power failures are not uncommon in America. It is also a place from where scientific research is going on from all over the world. Because of this, the International Space Station lost contact with NASA and this was not a matter of one or two minutes but there was no contact with it for one and a half hours. This is the first time in the history of communication between NASA and the space station. This is the first time such an event has occurred in history The space station first became fully operational in 2009. Since then, this kind of situation has never happened. NASA has a power backup at its headquarters. There is a complete backup control system to communicate with the astronauts on the space station orbiting above 450 km. This contact was lost for 90 minutes Th...

NISAR mission: ISRO-NASA's joint space mission to combat climate change, know when the launch will take place

Image
NASA-ISRO radar mission: ISRO and NASA are currently working on a joint space mission, NISAR. This mission is an Earth-observation radar mission. It is being said that this radar mission could prove to be very important in combating climate change. This radar provides information on the impact of forests and wetlands on the global carbon cycle and how it is contributing to climate change. NASA gave important information Recently there has been an update regarding the launch of NISAR. This mission will be launched at the beginning of next year i.e. in 2024. This mission Our forests and wetlands are vital in combating climate change. The NISAR radar mission will be launched into Earth orbit to analyze Earth and glaciers every 12 days.

The rat meat tissue sent to the space station became stronger

Image
Washington, September 8, 2020, Tuesday As many as 40 black rats were sent to the space station in December last year to find out how astronauts go on long-term space missions to affect their muscles and body. Has become. The experiment was performed by a research team at the Jackson Laboratory in Connecticut. According to a study published in a science journal, the rats were not given any regular medication. In the non-gravitational position, muscle and bone mass decreased by 15%. Scientists also sent six genetically modified mice into space, which were considered to be Mighty Mice. Not only did these mighty rats lose weight but their muscles doubled. Eight normal rats that were given the medicine of mighty rats in space. They also developed a lot of muscle. The weight of these muscles was controlled by a protein. The Space X capsule brought back all 40 rats that had been parachuted into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. If some normal rats were given potent rats, th...
