after carefully considering the many scientific and technical achievements and spaceflight satellites and sensing the International Astronautical Federation gave its 60th anniversary award to the one space project in history providing the greatest measurable...
Black holes are one of the most mind-boggling aspects of space. For a start, they aren’t actually objects, they are the result of the extreme warping of space-time. And because of this warping, some...
– Could black holes be the key to a quantum theory of gravity? A deeper theory of how reality, of how space and time works? Black holes are interesting because we have a place...
Black holes can destroy everything – but can they be destroyed? What happens if we push physics to the absolute limits, maybe even break it and the universe in the process? Let’s create a...
Black holes are one of the strangest things in existence. They don’t seem to make any sense at all. Where do they come from… …and what happens if you fall into one? Stars are...
Right now, you’re looking at renderings of human settlements on Mars. These designs were part of NASA’s 3D Printed Habitat Challenge, a 4-year long competition aimed at engineering homes for another planet. The brightest...
This is no ordinary rocket engine. Limited by the technology of their times engineers and physicists have theorized this propulsion method for centuries, but the constraints of time may have just lifted with NASA’s...
– [Narrator] The ground begins to tremble. – [Announcer] Three. – [Narrator] Massive engines roar to life. – [Announcer] Two. – [Narrator] Billowing clouds of exhaust. – [Announcer] One. – [Narrator] And then a...
Gravity. It’s what keeps us held to the surface of the Earth and provides a sense of up and down. When we venture into space and orbit the Earth, or some other world, the...
Hi, it’s me, Tim Dodd. The Everyday Astronaut. Rocket engines are incredibly complex machines pushing the boundaries of material science and human ingenuity. And there’s a wide range of ways. You can actually power...
The term rocket science is often used to describe a concept that is quite difficult to understand but in this video we are going to explain The technology behind rockets and rocket engines in...
Welcome to orbital dynamics. This is a multi-part course on the basics of orbital dynamics. The orbital dynamics or orbital mechanics textbooks assume familiarity with calculus and all the algebra and trig that goes...
Today, I will talk to you about elliptical orbits and Kepler’s famous laws. I first want to review with you briefly what we know about circular orbits, so I wrote on the blackboard everything...
So, contrary to what you see in movies spacecraft can’t just sit around in space near a planet because they’d fall right into it. To stay in space we need to get into orbit....
This – is an interplanetary transport network! And you think I can reach my home planet? J.: I mean, probably?! That’s the spirit! And this – is my probability tracer solving tough spaceflight riddles....
I am in Orlando at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. This is where they launch humans to the moon and continue to do launches to this day. Behind me is the Rocket Garden...
On December 18 ,1958, America launched a rocket that broadcasted a Christmas message from space The message was recorded by Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was the president of the United States at the time....
One of our biggest problems we face when travelling in space, is the atrophy our bodies endure while in microgravity. The astronauts on the international space station have to exercise several times a day...
