HAMPTON, Virginia (Reuters) — National Aeronautics and Space Administration engineers successfully conducted the second to last splashdown tests with the Orion spacecraft on Thursday (August 25) bringing the agency one step closer to its goal of eventually carrying humans to Mars. The test, conducted at the Langley facility in Hampton, Virginia was designed to simulate one of the Orion spacecraft’s most stressful landing scenarios with crash test dummies inside, a case where one of the […]

JUNE 9 (Reuters) — The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) test run of a Mars landing system came to a quick end on Monday (June 8) when the saucer-shaped vehicle’s parachute tore away after partly unfurling high over the Pacific Ocean, a NASA TV broadcast showed. A similar problem bedeviled the Low Density Supersonic Decelerator’s (LDSD) debut run last year. The parachute was redesigned and reinforced for the second flight, but more work will be needed […]
JUNE 9 (Reuters) — Footage of dwarf planet Ceres, compiled from a series of images taken by National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) Dawn spacecraft, was released on Monday (June 8). The video animation shows dramatic flyover views of the heavily cratered planet. Combined from 80 images taken on Dawn, they were made at an altitude of 8,400 mile (13,600 kilometers), along with navigational images taken from 3,200 miles (5,100 kilometers) away. NASA said the vertical dimension was […]
APRIL 30 (Reuters) — National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) Pluto-bound New Horizons spacecraft has spotted surface features on the icy world, including a possible polar cap, images released on Wednesday show. With 60 million miles (97 million km) left to go before its July 14, 2015, encounter, New Horizons already has been able to make out surprising light and dark patches on the surface of Pluto, which is currently more than 32 times farther away from […]
Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed that the Jupiter-orbiting moon Ganymede has an ocean beneath its icy surface, raising the prospects for life, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said on Thursday (March 12). Scientists estimate the ocean is 60 miles (100 km) thick, 10 times deeper than Earth’s oceans, and is buried under a 95-mile (150-km) crust of mostly ice. The finding resolves a mystery about the largest moon in the solar system […]
