Third interstellar object detection of races through solar system

Listen to the article Astronomers confirmed on Wednesday the discovery of a broad object struggling through our solar system – only the third one ever identified, though scientists suspect that many more can slip unnoticed. The visitor from the stars, called 3i/Atlas, is probably the largest but detected and has been classified as a comet or a cosmic avalanche. “It looks a bit unclear,” said Peter Veres, an astronomer with the Minor Planet Center of the International Astronomical Union, who was responsible for the official confirmation. “It seems that there is some gas around it, and I think one or

Scientists say that the asteroid war can hit the moon, not the earth

Listen to the article A so-called asteroid “City-Killer” was afraid to find himself on a course of conflict with the Earth could instead crash on the moon, according to updated observations by NASA scientists. The 2024 -year -old asteroid, discovered last year, initially raised concerns with a 3% probability of hitting the Earth in December 2032. A conflict of this size could destroy areas up to 80 kilometers from the impact area. Further monitoring and analysis has since ruled out an effect on Earth, bringing the level of threat to almost zero. However, new data from NASA’s James WebB space

Boeing’s Starliner completes key return without crew, faces $1.6 billion in space race

WASHINGTON: Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday, completing a critical test mission without astronauts on board. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who first flew the Starliner in June, remained aboard the ISS along with seven others as the spacecraft lifted off autonomously at 6:04 p.m. ET (2204 GMT) for a six-hour journey back to Earth. Originally planned as an eight-day test, the mission was extended to eight months due to technical problems with the Starliner’s propulsion system.

Boeing’s Starliner returns without a crew as NASA chooses SpaceX

NASA will return Boeing’s faulty Starliner capsule to Earth without astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who will return to Earth on a SpaceX vehicle early next year, NASA chief Bill Nelson said he said on Saturday. The Starliner launched its first two astronauts, both former military test pilots, into space on June 5 as a critical test before receiving NASA approval for routine flights. But what was supposed to be an eight-day mission docked to the ISS has ended months after the capsule leaked and some of its thrusters failed. Here’s a rundown of key events in Starliner space

Boeing’s inexperience causes major failures in lunar mission, NASA claims

Listen to the article A recent report from NASA’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) blamed significant delays and cost overruns on the Artemis moon mission on mismanagement and an inexperienced workforce at Boeing.

SLS Block 1B, a more powerful iteration of NASA’s existing SLS Block 1, is slated for its maiden flight in 2028 as part of the Artemis IV mission, a crewed lunar landing.
