- 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.

Five decades after man's arrival, 'moon trip' difficult, 60 out of 146 missions fail

Image
India tried to land on the moon in 2019 which failed. In 2023, India's space agency ISRO successfully landed on the moon. India is the first country to successfully land on the South Pole of the Moon unscathed. This success of India is also big because so far a total of 146 lunar missions have been launched out of which 60 have failed. Only four countries made a soft landing on the lunar surface According to Dr. Gail Isles of RMIT University, Australia, the Moon is the only celestial body other than Earth where humans have set foot. It also makes sense to go there first as it is our closest object at about four kilometers away. Interestingly, only four countries have made a soft landing on the surface of the moon so far. On the other hand, its South Pole is still mysterious, where only India has been able to reach. So many countries have failed Even Russia, the first country to make a soft landing on the moon 60 years ago, recently failed to land Luna-25 on the moon's sout...

The transmission power of Corona virus sticking to the surface decreases after 5 days - research

Image
London, 10, June, 2020, Wednesday It is common knowledge that the corona virus is spread from person to person through sneezing and nasal and oral droplets, as well as if the corona virus is spread on a plastic metal or other surface. There has been a lot of research on how long the corona virus survives on which surface, but the research done by the University College London in Britain is shocking. According to research published in the Journal of Hospital Infections, corona viruses can live on any surface for up to five days at most. It can spread to a large area within the first 10 hours when the transmissible power of the corona virus, which landed on the surface on the fifth day, was reduced. Observed after 10 hours, it spread to every corner of the ward. During the experiment Corona used a virus to infect artificial plants with a virus for a patient's breath that could not infect a man. Both viruses were then found in a drop of water and left on the bed railing. The viru...

Is a solar storm moving towards the earth at a speed of 12 lakh km per hour?

Image
New York, October 16, 2021, Friday With the development of space science, new information about space and planets is coming out. According to the information received, a tremendous solar storm is moving towards the earth. Solar storms could hit Earth in a matter of hours, according to a new US warning. Researchers are divided over what effect this will have on the Earth, but some believe it could have an adverse effect on power supplies, GPS systems and mobile signals. Scientists have warned that Northern Lights from space could also appear in the US and UK. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says a solar storm could cause lightning in many parts of the earth. Magnetic force can also be felt in some places. This can also damage the power grid. The storm, which started on October 11, has intensified since October 15. It is moving at a speed of 12 lakh km per hour. The last time such a dangerous storm occurred was in 19. However at that time there was no promoti...

Its level of efficacy would be very high, risk would be extremely low and it would likely be cost-effective, the researchers said. Jagdish Kadian, assistant professor at the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at IIT Mandi, said that learning about the ocean's internal currents from history led to the conclusion that only by placing instruments on research ships deep can one gain more insight into the ocean. Kadian, a co-author of the study, said that a typical cruise ship stays on the surface for a month or two, limiting the possibility of producing a comprehensive report on the sea. So it has often been said that changes in the sea do not wait for a ship ...
