NASA is using 3D telemedicine to “teleport” doctors to the ISS. The process uses hologram technology, like Microsoft’s Hololens camera, to transport high-quality 3D models to the space station. It’s a new way that NASA is testing to help provide astronauts with the medical care that they need.
An ancient comet, believed to be over 4 billion years old is headed towards the Earth. The massive comet is at least 80 miles across, making it twice the width of Rhode Island. It’s currently speeding towards the Earth at 22,000 miles per hour.
NASA has signed up to help test SpinLaunch’s suborbital accelerator. The massive device was designed to literally sling satellites and other small spacecraft into space at over five times the speed of sound. The NASA SpinLaunch test is set to take place later this year using a specialized kinetic launch system.
We’ve reached a momentous occasion in the journey to commercial space travel. Today, Axiom Space and SpaceX launched Axiom 1, the first private ISS flight. The flight, which includes the world’s first all-private astronaut team, took off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center this morning around 11:17 AM EDT. It’s a historic moment for space travel, …
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has managed to capture an image of one of the most ancient stars yet. Nicknamed Earendel, the star is named after the old English term for the “morning star” or “rising light”, National Geographic notes. Discovering a new star is cool and all, but what makes this discovery so special is …
Space can be terrifying. After all, there’s so much we just don’t know about the universe beyond our own planet’s atmosphere. While a lot of the scary parts of space–like no oxygen–can’t hurt us on Earth, there are some things we must concern ourselves with. Like, the possibility of needing to stop an asteroid impact …
NASA unveiled its new rocket system on Thursday evening. The Artemis I’s rocket system is 322 feet tall, making it taller than the iconic Statue of Liberty. The U.S. space agency unveiled the rocket in preparation for a final test before it launches the 3.5-million-pound spacecraft on its mission to the Moon.
We finally have our first James Webb image. At least, the first in-focus image that James Webb Space Telescope has produced. NASA released the image on March 16, 2022, and shared that all critical mirror alignment steps have been completed.
Fly my name to the Moon. Or, at the least, fly it around it. Space travel for humans is still quite a way off. However, NASA is at least offering a way for you to fly your name to the Moon if you’re so inclined.
NASA just greenlit the study of several futuristic tech concepts, including one that could let you breathe on Mars. The projects are part of the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program. The program wants to foster the exploration of tomorrow. As such, it has approved funding for early-stage studies on multiple types of futuristic tech, including …
