deep space and human space flight#completing EVAS, space rendezvous and dockings. According to Pollpeter,"by the end of the decade the Chinese say they want to move from being

Scientists with the European space agency and other institutions, for example, are working on a tight-fitting"skinsuit"that could help astronauts combat the back problems that are a common consequence of long-term spaceflight l

So Sarty and his colleagues at MRI manufacturer MRI-Tech Canada of Calgary Alberta and space flight hardware maker Com Dev International of Cambridge Ontario have developed a technique called Transmit Array Spatial Encoding

which saves us considerable weight making it suitable for space flight Sarty told New Scientist. It also leaks very little magnetism outside of its enclosure so it won't interfere with other experiments on the ISS.

and human spaceflight programme and works with many other countries including Russia in space. When the Soviet union collapsed

and the cold war ended the US pragmatically merged its human spaceflight programme specifically the ISS programme with the Soviet Mir space station programme inherited by the new Russian state.

Hundreds of thousands of pieces of spacecraft satellites and other equipment from human spaceflight zip around our planet some travelling faster than the speed of sound.

Space Race is not Burnett's first attempt to televise space flight. In 2000 he announced Destination Mir a programme that would have seen contestants train for a mission to the Russian space station Mir

a public competition is under way to create a crowdsourced design for an open-source 3d-printable rocket engine that commercial spaceflight operators will be able to use

If all goes to plan the mission will mark the end of the beginning of China's slow but steady approach to human space flight.

By contrast NASA's human spaceflight programme has struggled under changing budgets and political whims. Plans to return to the moon under George w bush's administration for instance morphed into crewed missions to an asteroid under Barack Obama's presidency.

Antares built by spaceflight company Orbital Sciences of Dulles Virginia lifted off from the Mid-atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island Virginia at 22.00 GMT.

In 2012, NASA began funding a Cambrian project, called Exogen, that uses electromethanogenesis to more efficiently extract oxygen or fuel from CO2 for long-duration space flights.

That price would even undercut the $50 million sum that private spaceflight company Spacex plans to charge to launch cargo on its two-stage Falcon 9 rocket.

Spacex CEO Elon musk told an audience at the National Press Club in 2011 that private spaceflights would need to follow a model closer to that of airlines.

Despite not being chosen for the program Sierra nevada plans to further develop its Shuttle-esque vehicle the Dream Chaser perhaps as a resupply vehicle or for commercial space flight t

It is a major incident for US spaceflight that breaks a trouble-free period and could have important implications for the private spaceflight sector.

The Antares launcher and the Cygnus spacecraft it was carrying were developed both and operated by Orbital Sciences corporation one of the two private companies

Nevertheless today there is unprecedented activity over commercial spaceflight even if we are still very far away from the glory days of nationally funded Apollo or Space shuttle.

Skinsuit has been designed to mimic the impact of gravity on the body to reduce the debilitating physical effects space flights have on astronauts'bodies.

but landing at 12 miles (20 km) above sea level will make space flight more like taking a passenger jet.'

#Major 7. 3-Magnitude Earthquake Aftershock Hits Nepal A 7. 3-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal this morning (May 12), toppling buildings and killing at least a dozen people.

Meteor experts Bill Cooke, Danielle Moser and Rhiannon Blaauw, all from NASA Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space flight Center, will also provide onair commentary.

CEO of New zealand-based private spaceflight company Rocket Lab, tells Popular Science. Its really difficult to build a low-cost rocket engine

As the nation closely watches Spacexs attempts to bring down the cost of spaceflight by reusing its rockets,

NASA Marshall Space flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. manages the Chandra program for the agency Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

"During space flight, microgravity, dehydration, and altered bone metabolism collectively increase the likelihood of an astronaut developing a kidney stone,

Kidney stones have been observed in U s. astronauts before and after spaceflight and one Russian cosmonaut reported abdominal pain on orbit

but also is composed entirely of technology that can be miniaturized for spaceflight. As detailed in Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, they validated the instrument--a laser ablation resonance ionization mass spectrometer--by dating a rock from Mars:
