(NASA) Jakarta, CNN Indonesia — After traveling billions of km with a space probe OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security – Regolith Explorer) NASArock and dust samples from the Asteroid Bennu successfully reached Earth. … Read more
CNN Indonesia Tuesday, 19 Sep 2023 18:05 IWST NASA spacecraft penetrates solar storm. (parkersolarprobe.jhuapl.edu) Jakarta, CNN Indonesia — The US Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Parker Solar Probe (NASA) became the first spacecraft to successfully penetrate Sun storm and researching coronal mass ejections (CME). The spacecraft, which launched in August 2018, was exposed to CME for … Read more
BepiColumbo, a joint project of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA), recently approached the surface of Mercury, coming within just 236 kilometers of the planet. The mission, which consists of three satellites – the Mercury Transfer Module (MTM), the Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO), and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MIO) – … Read more
Dramatic rings glowing around a blue-white ball – that’s how one could describe the image released on Thursday taken by the James Webb Space Telescope that captures Uranus. This is one of the few images of the planet that shows even the faintest of the rings, and it is also the clearest image of them … Read more
The DART probe of the American space agency NASA hit the moon of the planet Didymos on Tuesday as planned, it was the first test of Earth’s defense against a space body. This asteroid posed no danger to Earth. NASA will find out in a few days or weeks if and how it managed to … Read more
The probe that visits the asteroid Psyche bears the same name, and the period that is suitable for its launch will end on October 11, 2022. However, in the current situation, it is certainly not possible to do all the remaining work so far, as the flight control software has been delayed and the probe … Read more
The AACS system controls the orientation of the forty-five-year-old probe, which is the most distant object humanity has ever created. Among other things, it keeps Voyager 1’s antenna pointed precisely at Earth – allowing the satellite to send data “home”. According to NASA, everything suggests that AACS is still working, but the telemetry data it … Read more
The images were taken when the Solar Orbiter was about 75 million kilometers from the Sun, about halfway between our world and its parent star. The high-resolution EUI telescope captures images with such high spatial resolution that a mosaic of 25 individual images is required to cover the entire Sun at such a short distance. … Read more
For the first time in history, people touched the Sun through a probe. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flew through our star’s outer atmosphere, the so-called corona. The footage from several days shows the environment in which the spacecraft flew at that moment. “It measured particle flux and magnetic fields,” NASA reports. 0:43 – – People … Read more
The data will help scientists explain why the corona temperature, which reaches several million degrees Celsius, is several orders of magnitude higher than the temperature around 5500 degrees on the star’s surface. In fact, the spacecraft flew through the corona in April during the eighth of the planned 24 orbits around the Sun. However, it … Read more
