Spacecraft. A Vehicle designed for Spaceflight
2008-05-23 04:07:00
A vehicle designed for spaceflight is called a spacecraft. When the spacecraft travels on a sub-orbital flight, the vehicle travels to the outer-space and returns to Earth without taking a full orbit. On the other hand, a spacecraft taking an orbital space flight completes the orbiting of the Earth before returning to the planetary surface. Spacecrafts may be of two types, one that carries people as its crews or passengers, and the other is the robotic spacecraft which is controlled by either autonomously or tele-robotically. The use of robotic spacecrafts are of two types, the one which leaves just vicinity of the Earth are called space probes, and the other which remain in orbit of the Earth are called artificial satellites...

How to land a spacecraft on an asteroid
2007-08-01 14:59:00
NASA is exploring the possibility of sending astronauts to an asteroid, with hopes of making deep-space exploration more feasible.The DigitalSpace Commons, a Santa Cruz, Calif.-based company that develops an open-source 3D rendering system, has come up with the design for a new NASA spacecraft and a mission that could eventually allow humans to land on and explore an asteroid, or so-called near-Earth objects (NEO). The privately held company plans to unveil the design publicly Monday.The project dovetails with NASA's Constellation Program, a plan to send astronauts back to the moon by 2020. Along with the lunar mission, the space agency is investigating the possibility of using its future crew navigation vehicle for missions to an asteroid, which could help scientists better understand the minor planets or assist in eventually getting humans to Mars. Over the last six months, NASA studied how it might modify its own lunar vehicle for trips to NEOs and found that it was feasible, ac...

NASA tests Linux for spacecraft control
2007-06-19 18:43:00
Jun. 18, 2007 Linux was selected for a NASA experiment aimed at proving the feasibility of COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) hardware and software for scientific space missions. A key requirement was for application development and runtime environments familiar to scientists, to facilitate porting applications from the lab to the spacecraft.NASA's "Dependable Multiprocessor" (DM) experiment is among four scientific payloads scheduled for launch in November of 2009, in the "New Millennium Program Space Technology 8 (ST8) mission. Honeywell Aerospace was chosen to be the lead contractor for the DM experiment, while Orbital Sciences was selected to build ST8's "Spacecraft bus."ST8's "Spacecraft bus" will be driven by Linux(Click to enlarge)In order to attain success, Honeywell will have to overcome several obstacles -- primarily through enhancements to Linux via custom high-availability middleware, it appears. Obstacles and potential solutions listed by NASA include:Space ...
