Airbus will make 900 spacecraft-building up to four a day-with 300 to be kept as spares for after the proposed launches,
Rockets will be needed to propel the spacecraft into Earth orbit, and Sir Richard Branson Virgin galactic may be an option.
He installed the cameras on the space station to provide a stream of live video, not just of generic Earth,
The space station orbits the Earth fifteen times a day. A constant stream of video has made major events on earth viewable from space as they take place.
-and would be needed for any humans hoping to breathe on Mars without a spacesuit. Nasa has toyed with the idea before;
advanced type of space travel received a boost as German scientists confirmed that it does in fact work.
But subsequent tests-further backed up by this announcement-have shown that the idea could revolutionise space travel.
'If true, this could certainly revolutionise space travel.''While there has been some scepticism surrounding the EMDRIVE, in April Nasa released results of their own test
It provides thrust to a spacecraft by bouncing microwaves around in a closed container. Solar energy provides the electricity to power the microwaves,
say their research could help develop new types of heat shields on spacecraft or be used in gas turbines.
so their uses are restricted to very specialized applications, such as spacecraft or advanced cooling systems. The new foam metal being developed by the NC State team led by Afsaneh Rabiei,
which the company says could boost computing power of verything from smartphones to spacecraft. he company unveiled the industry first seven-nanometer chip that could hold more than 20 billion tiny switches or transistors for improved computing power.
PEMFC are leading candidates to power the space shuttle and other mobile applications even down to mobile phones,

In the first demonstration of how the technology works, published July 30 in the journal Cell("Saturated Reconstruction of a Volume of Neocortex"),the researchers look inside the brain of an adult mouse at a scale previously unachievable, generating images
Ultrasound technologies have been used successfully for many years on the International space station (ISS), primarily to perform imaging of the astronauts'eyes,
"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

The JPL team responsible for Onsight specializes in systems to control robots and spacecraft. The tool will assist researchers in better understanding the environment
and workspace of robotic spacecraft--something that can be quite challenging with their traditional suite of tools.
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:
Support is acknowledged also from the Alexander Von humboldt Foundation, the NASA Office of the Chief Technologist's Space technology Research Fellowship, the AFOSR Quantum memories Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative,
The finding means metal foams hold promise for use in nuclear safety, space exploration and medical technology applications."
"This work means there's an opportunity to use composite metal foam to develop safer systems for transporting nuclear waste, more efficient designs for spacecraft and nuclear structures,
or space exploration applications--could it provide structural support, protect against high impacts and provide shielding against various forms of radiation?
kicking off the robotic vehicle's clandestine fourth mission as well as the first flight of a tiny solar-sailing spacecraft.
and more on the gear the spacecraft is carrying to orbit. X-37b Space Plane's 4th Mystery Mission in Photos"We are excited about our fourth X-37b mission,"Randy Walden,
The Air force owns two X-37b spacecraft, both of which were built by Boeing's Phantom Works division.
both X-37bs could fit inside the payload bay of NASA's now-retired space shuttle orbiter.
as the space shuttle did. The secrecy surrounding X-37b missions has led to speculation in some quarters that the craft is some sort of space weapon that it's designed to inspect and/or cripple hostile nations'satellites, for example.
saying the X-37b is simply testing out technologies for reusable vehicles and future spacecraft.
OTV-3 lifted off in December 2012, sending the vehicle that flew OTV-1 to space for 675 days record for a reusable space vehicle.
it generates thrust by accelerating ions (electrically charged atoms or molecules) out the back of a spacecraft.
plus it enhances spacecraft operational flexibility, survivability and longevity.""The NASA payload, called the Materials Exposure

The goal is to gather data that could aid in the design of future spacecraft,

But the shiny sail should make the bantam spacecraft visible to the naked eye during its brief orbital trial.
#New Spaceship Antenna Prevents Radio Silence During Fiery Re-Entry When future spacecraft re-enter the atmosphere,
a new kind of antenna might help them keep in contact with ground control, despite the fiery sheaths of superhot plasma around them, researchers say.
As the crippled spacecraft plummeted back toward Earth, the communications blackout lasted more than a minute longer than expected,
That is why Toronto Sickkids Centre for Image-Guided Innovation & Therapeutic Intervention (CIGITI) turned to the Canadian space technology behind Canadarm,
