The aircraft is equipped with two ramjets under its delta wings, a pair of Turbojets under the front part of the fuselage and a rocket engine at the rear end of the fuselage.
At this point, the rocket engine is ignited at full power causing the aircraft to travel vertically like a rocket at supersonic speeds.

#Why the Time Seems Right for a Space-Based Internet Service providing Internet access from orbiting satellites concept that seemed to have died with the excesses of the dot-com boomas returned thanks to Spacex founder
000 microsatellites to provide broadband Internet services around the globe. Spacex is partnering with Google and Fidelity Investments,
which are investing $1 billion for a 10 percent stake in the endeavor. Richard Branson Virgin galactic and Qualcomm
meanwhile, are investing in a competing venture called Oneweb, which aims to build a similar network of microsatellites.
In the late 1990s there were plans to deliver similar space services. he dot-com bust dried up their financing
and it never really got off the ground, says Forecast International analyst Bill Ostrove. Those projects might have failed anyway,
though, because it costs $60 million and $70 million to launch a satellite, and there always a decent chance that the payload will be lost to an accident.
Beaming data from a satellite is done by radio, and is limited by the available spectrum, as well as the amount of power a satellite can get from its solar panels.
Most communications satellites have data-transfer speeds of around a gigabit per second, compared to several terabits per second for the fastest fiber.
But some things have changed since the late 1990s. For one thing, satellite technology has advanced, bringing the cost of deployment down significantly.
Toaster-sized microsatellites can be launched dozens at a time and don have to operate at very high orbits, reducing launch costs,
but they can deliver performance comparable to larger, older satellites at higher altitudes. Spacex and Virgin galactic also hope to ride a different boom by targeting parts of the world where there is little infrastructure and a huge opportunity for Internet growth.
Satellite services remain less economical in areas where fiber-optic networks are in place, but Musk has stated that his Internet service would be aimed primarily at providing service to remote areas of the globe. oue got large swaths of land where there is a relatively low density of users,
Musk told an audience at the opening of Spacex new satellite development center in Seattle last week. pace is actually ideal for that.
Musk and Branson are not alone in recognizing the market potential. Besides investing in Musk project, Google is working on a high-altitude balloon-based Internet delivery system called Loon.
And Facebook is developing high-altitude, high-endurance drones to deliver Internet capability to remote areas.
The Google and Facebook projects would be similar in concept to the space-based systems,
while operating within the Earth atmosphere. Whether, as Musk has suggested, Spacex service could also be a viable alternative for customers in the developed world is less certain.
Ostrove says satellites simply cannot compete with the bandwidth and low cost of fiber-optic cables. The technology could also prove tricky for these newcomers to master.
Spacex, after all, has built rocketsut no satellites yet s

#Unprecedented Details on Precipitation Revealed by Satellites Techniques of monitoring all the precipitation throughout the globe within a short span of time were not effective previously.
However, the scenario has changed with the launch of the final piece of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission by NASA and the Japan aerospace exploration agency.
The mission includes a constellation of at least 12 satellites which provide an unprecedented view of global precipitation across the globe in near real time.
The first map developed by these satellites was released on Thursday by NASA. The satellites capture information every 30 minutes and the map shows the ripples
and eddies of little rain and snowstorms crossing the planet on an everyday basis. Large storms racing across the Southern ocean without any land impeding them can be identified.
The map also shows rain from tropical cyclones such as Hurricane Arthur and Typhoon Rammasun. Gail Skofronick-Jackson, GPM project scientist said n India they encounter monsoons.
and NASA has collaborated with emergency managers to find out how the close to real-time view of precipitation can be utilized to strengthen emergency management.
In the year 2014, NASA had launched 4 Earth-monitoring missions and earlier this month it added one more to them.
