NASA's new spacecraft and rocketsNASA has been busy planning for a new spacecraft, the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), to be able to rendezvous with the ISS and then to take a crew back to the moon in conjunction with the Lunar Surface Access Module (LSAM). A Crew Launch Vehicle, named Ares I, derived from the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) will deliver the CEV to low Earth Orbit (LEO) while a larger rocket, Ares 5, will deliver ISS cargo of the LSAM to LEO. Once in LEO, the CEV and LSAM will dock and a J-2X Earth Departure Stage (EDS) will deliver the CEV/LSAM to Low Lunar Orbit (LLO) at 100 km. The EDS is discarded and CEV/LSAM temporarily decouple. The LSAM then performs the Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) to deliver the LSAM to the lunar surface will all 4 astronauts onboard. After some amount of time on the surface, an ascent stage from the LSAM boosts the crew back to LLO and the ascent stage docks with the unattended CEV. The ascent stage is discarded and the service module section of the CEV boosts the crew module (with crew) towards Earth reentry, and the service module is then discarded. The crew module reenters the upper atmosphere and an ablative heat shield slows the craft to a point where it is captured by the Earth. Parachutes then slow the crew module for a land (or sea in emergencies) landing. Whew, safe at last from solar storms! Ares V will be able to launch 130 metric tons LEO inclined at 28.5 degrees or it can deliver 55 metric tons to trans-lunar orbit. By comparison, the Saturn V was capable of 118 metric tons to LEO or 47 metric tons to lunar orbit.See www.plasmaben.com/CEV.html for more info.I am now published!

NASA Spacecraft Successfully Lands on MarsPlusNASA Spacecraft Successfully Lands on MarsNASA Spacecraft Successfully Lands on MarsThe Associated PressNASA's Phoenix spacecraft has successfully landed near Mars' north pole for a 90-day digging mission. Mission control at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory celebrated after the Phoenix signaled back that it had survived Sunday's fiery entry. (May 25)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] ((NATS: Phoenix has landed)) NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has touched down on the Red Planet.The robotic craft sent a signal back to mission control in California after a nail-biting seven minute plunge.((Barry Goldstein/Project Manager: In my dreams it couldn't have gone as perfectly as it did tonight. It went right down the middle. We're on the surface. We had a minute worth of data after touch down.))At a speed of 12 thousand miles per hour and with its shields protecting it from intense heat...Phoenix made its way through the thin atmosphere on Mars.The craft was designed to dig into the icy soil near the planet's North Pole. Its mission-- determine if the frosty surface could have supported primitive life.Phoenix will remain on Mars for the next 90 days.

NASA - Dawn Spacecraft Enroute to Asteroid BeltNASA's Dawn spacecraft is on its way to study a pair of asteroids after lifting off Thursday, September 27, 2007 from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 7:34 a.m. EDT (4:34 a.m. PDT).Mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., received telemetry on schedule at 9:44 a.m. EDT (6:44 a.m. PDT) indicating Dawn had achieved proper orientation in space and its massive solar array was generating power from the sun.During the next 80 days, spacecraft controllers will test and calibrate the myriad of spacecraft systems and subsystems, ensuring Dawn is ready for the long journey ahead.Dawn's 4.8-billion-kilometer (3-billion-mile) odyssey includes exploration of asteroid Vesta in 2011 and the dwarf planet Ceres in 2015. These two icons of the asteroid belt have been witness to much of our solar system's history. By using Dawn's instruments to study both asteroids, scientists more accurately can compare and contrast the two. Dawn's science instrument suite will measure elemental and mineral composition, shape, surface topography, and tectonic history, and will also seek water-bearing minerals. In addition, the Dawn spacecraft and how it orbits Vesta and Ceres will be used to measure the celestial bodies' masses and gravity fields.The spacecraft's engines use a unique, hyper-efficient system called ion propulsion, which uses electricity to ionize xenon to generate thrust. The 30-centimeter-wide (12-inch) ion thrusters provide less power than conventional engines but can maintain thrust for months at a time.The management of the Dawn launch was the responsibility of NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla. The Delta 2 launch vehicle was provided by United Launch Alliance, Denver.The Dawn mission to Vesta and Ceres is managed by JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif., for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington.The University of California, Los Angeles, is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Other scientific partners include Los Alamos National Laboratory, N.M.; Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Katlenburg, Germany; DLR Institute for Planetary Research, Berlin; Italian National Institute for Astrophysics, Rome; and the Italian Space Agency. Orbital Sciences Corporation of Dulles, Va., designed and built the Dawn spacecraft.

Orion (spacecraft) to the Moon - NASA (Animation)Follow a future crew as they ride the Orion capsule to the moon.Orion is a spacecraft design currently under development by the United States space agency NASA. Each Orion spacecraft will carry a crew of four to six astronauts, and will be launched by the Ares I, a launch vehicle also currently under development. Both Orion and Ares I are elements of NASA's Project Constellation, which plans to send human explorers back to the Moon by 2020, and then onward to Mars and other destinations in the solar system. On August 31, 2006, NASA awarded Lockheed Martin (LM) the contract to design, develop, and build Orion.Orion will launch from Launch Complex 39 at Kennedy Space Center, the same launch complex that currently launches the Space Shuttle. NASA will use Orion spacecraft for its human spaceflight missions after the last Shuttle orbiter is retired in 2010. The first Orion flight is scheduled at the end of 2014 or beginning of 2015 with future flights to the International Space Station. If commercial orbital transportation services are unavailable, Orion will handle logistic flights to the Station. After that, Orion is to become a key component of human missions to the Moon and Mars.Higher res video (480p):http://anon.nasa-global.edgesuite.net/anon.nasa-global/NASAHD/CX_Mission/CX_Mission_Short3b_HDweb.wmv

GLAST Spacecraft LauchThe Delta II rocket easily lifted the GLAST spacecraft off the launch pad, out of the smoke and clouds and into a beautiful clear-blue Florida sky headed for space.GLAST is a powerful space observatory that will open a wide window on the universe. Gamma rays are the highest-energy form of light, and the gamma-ray sky is spectacularly different from the one we perceive with our own eyes. With a huge leap in all key capabilities, GLAST data will enable scientists to answer persistent questions across a broad range of topics, including supermassive black-hole systems, pulsars, the origin of cosmic rays, and searches for signals of new physics.

Solar eclipse seen by NASA's STEREO spacecraftThe NASA STEREO spacecraft sees the disk of the Moon pass in front of the Sun in a view never seen before by human eyes -- in solar eclipses seen on Earth, the Moon and Sun are roughly the same size.I picked this as one of the Top Ten Astronomy Pictures of 2007.
Indian SpacecraftChandrayaan-1, the Indian Space Research Organisations (ISRO) lunar orbiter, was captured into orbit around the Moon on 8 November. One day later, the spacecraft performed a manoeuvre that lowered the closest point of its orbit down to 200 km from the Moon. Over the next few days, the height of the spacecrafts orbit around the Moon will be carefully reduced in steps to achieve a final 100-km polar lunar orbit. The Moon Impact Probe (MIP) will then be released to hit the lunar surface, after which the other instruments on board will be turned on.

Chandrayaan 1- Hindu India Sends Moon Spacecraft (11 Pay Loads- 2 American 4 European and 5 Indian)Hindu Indian Rocket Chandrayaan-1 Blasts off for Moon.Chandrayaan 1 spacecraft carries 11 pay loads (2 NASA (American) 4 European (Swedish, Bulgarian, German, British) , 5 Indian).IT MUST BE NOTED THAT THE COST FOR THIS MISSION WAS ABOUT 80 MILLION USD. FOR A SIMILAR PROJECT (LESSER IN SCOPE) IT TOOK CHINA 200 MILLION USD.Followers of backward dark medieval ideology of islam can keep doing moon observations and fight to death over moon sightings to decide the date of 'id' and accompanying mass muslim hysteria.As prescient Harvard sage Samuel Huntington asserted "Hindu Indian civilisation and western civilisation (post church) are natural allies against totalitarian evils - red communists, islamists and churchists".Not many are aware that Hindu Civilisation is similar to the Graeco Roman Egyptian one with progressive and tolerant values which were extinguished by dark, totalitarian deceitful ideologies of church and islam. God has been kind in protecting Freedom symbolised by spiritual and tolerant Hinduism from pure evil represented by islam and church. Both Kasturi Rangan and his Protege Madhavan Nair have a practice of visiting Hindu Temples before launches, something that anti-Hindu media will hide.(Anti Hindu Indian media will somehow spin and project as if this is Indian not Hindu achievement. Let these deceitful liars be damned. We all know that it is the Hindus in India who have the prowess to manage this - Annadurai, Madhavan Nair, Kasturi Rangan..not church/madrasa educated louts that pontificate nonsense and can not even spell CHANDRAYAAN PROPERLY)Hindu heros like Mahatma Modiji, Madhavan Nair are the way forward if India has to progress and eliminate poverty.HOPE INDIAN GOVERNMENT FUNDS ISRO FOR MADHAVAN NAIR AND TEAM TO DELIVER ON THE MANNED MOON MISSION IN 2015.HINDU INDIA FOR PROSPERITY, GROWTH AND PROGRESS.(MANY HAVE COMMENTED WHY SHOULD ONE TALK ABOUT RELIGION AS INDIA IS ESSENTIALLY A SECULAR STATE: ANSWER-INDIA IS NOT SECULAR TILL IT IMPLEMENTS 'UNIFORM CIVIL CODE'. ANY NATION THAT HAS DIFFERENT LAWS FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE CAN NEVER BE DEEMED SECULAR. SECULAR CIVIL LAWS ARE APPLIED ONLY ON HINDUS. NOT ON MULSIMS. IN INDIA THERE IS INHERENT INSTITUTIONALISED BIAS AGAINST HINDUISM. GOVERNMENT SELECTIVELY INTERVENES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF HINDU TEMPLES/TEMPLE LAND. IT OPENLY INSULTS HINDU ICONS AND HERITAGE (RAMA SETU IS A CASE IN POINT). THIS PERVASIVE ANTI HINDU ENVIRONMENT MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR INDIAN MUSLIMS AND BANGLADESHI INFILTRATORS TO OPENLY RAISE PAKISTAN FLAGS, ETHNICALLY CLEANSING HINDUS FROM KASHMIR VALLEY(See Videos in this channel), CHURCH TO INDULGE IN DECEITFUL CONVERSIONS OF HINDUS (See video playlist in this channel). WHEN THINGS GO WRONG, IT IS HINDUIS AND ORGANISATIONS THAT STAND FOR HINDUISM WHICH BECOME SCAPEGOATS. UNLIKE ISLAM AND CHURCH, BOTH OF WHICH AS IS EVIDENT ARE FAILED IDEOLOGIES, TOLERANT AND NATIVE SPIRITUAL TRADITION OF HINDUISM DESERVES TO BE CELEBRATED AND ASSERTED)
