Last month, the spacecraft - exploring the universe since 1977 - tilted its antenna to point two degrees away from Earth after a wrong command was sent. As a result, the probe stopped receiving commands or sending data. But on Tuesday, NASA said a signal from Voyager 2 was picked up during a regular scan of the sky. Where is Voyager 2 now?..........

Rumors saying because of the trade embargo on Russia, the Russians are minus essential parts from the likes of the USA (components) for their space program.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted August 20, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted August 20, 2023 Reportedly a mis-maneuvering/impulse issue, which is similar to what happened to Chandrayaan-2 when it crashed into the Moon a few years ago too. Always sad to see when it happens; scientists working on it put their hearts, souls, and years of effort and hard work into their missions. Hopefully India's landing attempt on Wednesday is successful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted September 23, 2023 Author Subscriber Share Posted September 23, 2023 Quote Osiris-Rex: Asteroid Bennu 'is a journey back to our origins' Nasa's Osiris-Rex capsule will come screaming into Earth's atmosphere on Sunday at more than 15 times the speed of a rifle bullet. It will make a fireball in the sky as it does so, but a heat shield and parachutes will slow the descent and bring it into a gentle touchdown in Utah's West Desert. The capsule carries a precious cargo - a handful of dust grabbed from asteroid Bennu, a mountain-sized space rock that promises to inform the most profound of questions: Where do we come from?..........

Behold the Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster Yes, it’s technically only November. But that doesn’t mean astronomers can’t start getting in the spirit of the holiday season! They’re putting up the Christmas Tree early, thanks to a joint-present from NASA’s James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes. The striking image, dubbed the Christmas Tree Galaxy Cluster, combines visible light from Hubble and infrared light detected by JWST to create one of the most comprehensive views of the universe taken yet.....

Goku de la Boca 121 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 NASA helping a space agency in Peru make a private investment for a space port in Talara which is a port town very close to the equator. If it was a public investment I wouldn't have any hope but since it isn't, I have a reason to be excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
