Space travel: aim high in 2021

Nothing went as planned in the space sector either 2019. Like almost all sectors, space activities have been hit hard by the pandemic. Observers were particularly looking forward to the start of seven planned space missions, some things went great: SpaceX sent astronauts into space, China brought moon rocks back to Earth.

But many other missions were not implemented: The Rosalind Franklin Rover and the European-Russian co-mission were on 2022 postponed. The SpaceX Starship also didn’t make it into space (but still quite far). All hopes that Artemis 1, the first mission in NASA’s new lunar exploration program to bring humans back to the moon during the decade, still 2019 would start were smashed. Because most of the NASA facilities had to cease operations for the time being due to the pandemic.

And yet: 2021 promises to be an exciting year for space travel. One can expect a lot: NASA’s ambitions to return to the moon are growing. The private space industry continues to grow faster than ever. The following are the eleven missions which the TR editorial team finds most exciting and which could most likely represent new milestones. Nevertheless, the following applies: Little can be predicted for missions into space and it may well be that many of these projects have to be postponed for months or even years.

February: A Trio of Mars missions Mars will be able to welcome not just one, not two, but three missions – each of them started and operated by a different nation. The United Arab Emirates are sending the Hope Orbiter, NASA is entering the race with the Perseverance Rover and the Chinese are sending the Tianwen-1 mission (including space probe, landing module and rover). All three missions will reach Mars’ orbit in February.

Perseverance is then expected to reach the surface later this month, followed by Tianwen-1 in April. Hope is designed to help scientists clarify questions about the atmosphere, such as why the planet is giving off oxygen and hydrogen. Tianwen-1 and Perseverance will be looking for signs of life and trying to understand the geology of Mars. While Mars missions are now standard for NASA, it is the first opportunity for China and the UAE to get a closer look at the planet.

Probability of success: 9 / 10. The missions have started, but everyone has to make the trip and two of them manage to land.

March: Boeing’s second Starliner test SpaceX’s Crew Dragon may have safely returned a manned mission to US soil, but it is not the only spacecraft NASA hopes to bring astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS) create. Boeing also has a spacecraft called the Starliner on offer, whose unnamed mission to the ISS failed in December 2019.

The spaceship’s software was riddled with bugs, including a flaw that could have completely destroyed the capsule. Not exactly Boeing’s most colorful moment. But the company is repeating this test mission in late March after combing through all of the Starliner code and rigorously checking the operating system. If everything goes well, the Starliner could send people to the ISS by the end of the year.

Probability of success: 8 / 10. After everything that has happened, nothing from Boeing is a sure thing. June and October: The first CLPS missions to the moon NASA’s Artemis program, successor to Apollo, will not just consist of a few quick round trips to the moon. Artemis is to return to the moon in the long term, private companies are also involved. A commercial lunar payload service that accepts orders (Commercial Lunar Payload Services, CLPS for short) offers opportunities for small companies that want to do something on the moon – be it flying in small payloads with new spaceships, testing new space technology towards the moon or carrying out lunar research .

Astrobotic Technology Peregrine Lander, which is scheduled to make its maiden flight on United Launchs Alliance’s new Vulcan Centaur rocket, will receive an initial shipment of 28 CLPS payloads to fly to the moon in June, 14 of which from NASA. If all goes well, it will be the first private spaceship to land on the moon. Intuitive Machines will send its Nova-C lander towards the moon aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in October. In total, it will take at least five NASA payload flights to the moon, plus further deliveries from other groups.

Probability of success: 6 / 10. Landing on the moon is difficult for any newcomer. June: The end of Juno Since July 2016 the NASA Juno spacecraft has been orbiting Jupiter and is providing the best data on its atmosphere so far, the gravitational field, the magnetic field and the geology. Juno has provided some surprising insights into the largest planet in the solar system and also provided some stunning images of Jupiter’s colorful clouds from above. But the mission ends on 30. July, when Juno will dive into its atmosphere and collect as much data as possible before the tremendous pressure tears the spaceship apart.

SpaceX buys oil rigs to launch Starship from the sea?

Elon Musk, through SpaceX, would purchased two oil rigs to turn them into launch pads for its Starship rockets as announced some time ago. What awaits us for the future?

SpaceX

Interesting developments continue in the Boca Chica area (Texas). SpaceX in fact it may have purchased over the past two months oil platforms from a bankrupt company for the construction of launch platforms for the launch of Starship (in Super Heavy and Starship configuration).

Isn’t it so strange that SpaceX made this move (not yet officially confirmed). In June 2020 the same Elon Musk had written on Twitter about the idea of building platforms for launching his rockets, moreover, in the old renders dating back to about two years ago, spaceports located on floating platforms.

From oil to space thanks to SpaceX

As written above, the official status is still missing but there are several clues collected by the people who are telling the company of Elon Musk in Texas. For example, the two platforms have codenames of Deimos and Phobos who are “strangely” also the two natural satellites of Mars.

Sure, finding oil rigs in the Texas areas isn’t actually that strange, but that the acquisition is made by Lone Star Mineral Development, owned by Bret Johnsen who in turn is CFO and Chairman of the strategic acquisitions group in SpaceX is definitely interesting.

Currently I work on Super Heavy are still in an early stage although we should see the first test pitch (jump) by the end of 2021. In the pad area, the launching support base similar, but not the same as that which can be seen at the foot of Starship, is rising.

The oil platforms currently still seem almost intact even if the works could proceed at a rapid pace, based on what the plans for Elon Musk . It will probably take months before we see a substantial transformation and in the meantime there will be room for testing of Starship with various jumps to ever greater heights.

Virgin Orbit manages to launch a rocket into space from its Boeing 747-400

Virgin Orbit managed to launch the its rocket, Launcher One, from Boeing 500 – 400 (codenamed Cosmic Girl) bringing into orbit ben 01 CubeSat belonging to 9 different missions, with the partnership of NASA.

by Mattia Speroni published 18 January 2021 , at 08: 21 in the Science and Technology channel

NASA Virgin Orbit

Virgin Orbit made it! The mission simply called Launch Demo 2 was successful and managed to enter Low Earth Orbit (LEO) some CubeSats launching a rocket that was hooked under the wing of a Boeing 747 – 400 ! This is not a new idea in an absolute sense and resumes, albeit with different mission profiles, what Virgin Galactic does or in the future they can do Aevum or even ESA.

Virgin Orbit successfully launches the rocket

As written, unlike other systems launch, in this case an airplane that takes off is used “traditionally” to bring a rocket to high altitudes and then allow it to enter Space. This should allow to reduce overall costs, reduce possible inconveniences due to larger rockets and simplify the project (after all, some of the work is done by a substantially conventional aircraft).

The Boeing 747 – 400 used by Virgin Orbit has code name Cosmic Girl and was delivered in 2001. Also in the same year he made his first flight as an airliner. It was later readjusted to its new rocket launch support task after completing ben 1045 traditional flights. One of the positive features of this approach is that you just need a runway capable of accommodating the Boeing, and potentially it is possible to launch a rocket.

Launcher One (the rocket) is instead a rocket of 21 meters long with a first stage motor of 334 kN running for 3 minutes. The second stage ran for over 9 minutes (although it typically could run for 6 minutes) with a push of 22 kN. The cargo to be sent into orbit can reach 500 kg while the whole system has a weight of just under 26 tons. To contain the overall weight, the rocket is made of composite materials and carbon fiber.

Inside the fairing have found a place 01 CubeSat forming part of 9 missions overall (with the support of NASA ), as a mission includes two satellites. This kind of launch is not meant for large and heavy satellites, but it could allow more and more realities to send a satellite into orbit.

Today’s sequence of events for # LaunchDemo2 went exactly to plan, from safe execution of our ground ops all the way through successful full duration burns on both engines.

Unfortunately, unlike other companies (such as SpaceX), there is no official streaming but only a live stream via tweet . However, some images of an internal streaming have been leaked that allowed us to see some shots during the mission. In the future, however, the possibility of having official streaming is not excluded. Space is becoming more and more accessible, with all the possibilities (and risks) of the case.

Virgin Orbit set to try and send satellites to space for the first time

Virgin Orbit — the sister company of billionaire Richard Branson’s space tourism outfit Virgin Galactic — will try a second test of its small satellite-launching rocket later today, months after it failed to reach orbit during a first attempt. It will also be the first time that the company tries to launch working satellites into space on behalf of NASA.

Sometime after 1PM ET, Virgin Orbit’s customized Boeing 747 will take off from Virgin Galactic’s spaceport in the Mojave desert and ascend to 35,000 feet with the satellite-launching rocket attached to its wing. Once it reaches a predetermined location, the rocket is supposed to drop and ignite, taking the small satellites on board the rest of the way into orbit around the Earth. Virgin Orbit says the window for launch will last until 5PM ET.

There is no live stream of the test, though the company plans to tweet updates throughout the flight. It will make photos and video available sometime after the test is completed.

Virgin Orbit has spent years developing this method of airborne rocket-launching, and it has performed increasingly complex flight tests since 2018. But the first full test of the company’s rocket-launching capabilities in May of last year did not go completely as planned. The plane ascended correctly, the rocket dropped, and the main engine ignited. But a problem in the liquid oxygen fuel line prevented the rocket from reaching orbit.

Dan Hart, Virgin Orbit’s CEO, said during a conference call earlier this month that the company has made changes to those propellant lines and done an “enormous amount of testing” since May, despite the pandemic.

“Watching [Virgin Orbit] rise to the occasion and dive into the details and drive the maturation of the system, and doing it in a pandemic environment, is really amazing to watch,” Hart said.

Technical fixes aside, another difference between the previous test and this one is that Virgin Orbit will be attempting to deliver real commercial payloads for a customer for the first time: NASA. The space agency has tasked Virgin Orbit with carrying 10 different small satellites for various universities. Each will perform a variety of missions, from cleaning up space debris, to practicing inspection and maintenance of other spacecraft, to making weather observations. A full list is available on Virgin Orbit’s website.

This mission was supposed to take place back in December, but was delayed because some members of Virgin Orbit’s launch team had to quarantine. Hart said Virgin Orbit has “done a huge amount to ensure the safety of the team” ahead of today’s launch. A big part of that is having people work remotely, but for those who have to be on site, Hart said Virgin Orbit is enforcing social distancing, making employees use PPE, disinfecting spaces, and installing air purifiers. “Every single tool that you can imagine that is out there in industry, we have applied, but we have a team that’s eager, that’s focused,” he said.

The launch attempt was rescheduled to earlier this month, though that has slipped a few times now to today’s window. The company tweeted on Saturday that the hardware is “in great shape” and that the weather looks favorable.

Virgin Orbit’s approach to launching satellites is quite different from that of SpaceX or the other major launch providers that NASA and others typically use. But it’s one that the company believes will help take a bite out of the burgeoning small satellite market. By launching from a plane in the air, Virgin Orbit’s system doesn’t need as big a rocket, or as much fuel, which helps keep costs down. The company argues that this is a potentially more flexible system, since it makes satellite launches theoretically possible from anywhere a 747 can take off and land.

(Those reasons may be why Virgin Orbit has also inked a contract with the Department of Defense. Virgin Orbit wants to launch missions to Mars, too.)

But first Virgin Orbit must prove that the system works, and that the company can be profitable. Backers like Branson and Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala, have sustained it through development so far. The company is now seeking up to $200 million in new funding after spending hundreds of millions of dollars developing the airborne launch system it will test again today.

Hart stressed on the call that this is a test flight, and that the company will be “thrilled to get the data” that’s generated along the way so it can continue developing and refining the launch system. He also said the Virgin Orbit team is “mindful that there’s risk on whether we will get to the final orbit.”

But Hart said Virgin Orbit has been “working vigorously and looking at all the details and making sure that we have the best shot possible to get to orbit” considering there are real satellites on board this time. That work has included help from an investigation team made up of people from launch partner NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Air Force, and industry professionals.

“We really immersed our engineering team with a fresh set of eyes to make sure that basically that we weren’t drinking our own bathwater,” Hart said.

Watch NASA test fire its massive new rocket

Four huge rocket engines will roar to life on Saturday, in a crucial test for NASA’s powerful next-generation rocket. This long-awaited trial run won’t leave the ground, but it will be so powerful that officials have warned that it may be heard up to 60 miles away.

Saturday’s test is the last step in series of tests that NASA calls a Green Run for the Space Launch System (SLS), a powerful rocket designed to launch missions to the Moon and deep space. It will test the 212 foot tall core of the SLS, which consists of four engines, liquid fuel tanks, and the computer and technical systems that NASA calls the “brains” of the rocket.

The rocket was originally intended to debut in 2017, but it has consistently been over budget and behind schedule. Now, NASA will finally have a chance to see how the rocket’s systems work while the four engines are firing ahead of the SLS’ first launch later this year. Engineers and technicians have already tested the core’s backup systems, run through dress rehearsals to double check-timing, and loaded and unloaded hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel ahead of the big event. Now they just need to put it all together for the first time to really mimic a launch.

“To be able to run a test like this, it takes not only a village, but small city,” said Ryan McKibben, the Green Run test conductor at Stennis Space Center, in a press conference. It will take six barges to haul more than 700,000 gallons of super cold propellent needed for this test — roughly 200,000 gallons of liquid oxygen, and 500,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen.

The four engines themselves were originally built for NASA’s Space Shuttle program, which ended in 2011. They’ve been updated with upgrades including new engine controllers to get them ready to become part of the SLS. When the engines are fired, they will produce 1.6 million pounds of thrust — more than enough to send the core soaring. “When we ignite the engines, the stage actually will think it is flying. That’s what it’s built to do,” McKibbin said.

While the core of the SLS is built to fly, the massive test stand is designed to keep it firmly grounded. The huge structure is anchored into the ground with over 144 feet of concrete and steel that will absorb and redirect the thrust from the engines, McKibbin said. The engines will burn for about eight minutes — approximately the same amount of time that it will take to launch the rocket to the Moon on future missions.

This is the last big rehearsal for the rocket before it heads to space, which means it’s also one of the last chances for NASA to get data on how the rocket might perform. The team plans to run the engines through the same thrust changes that they will eventually endure when they fly through the Earth’s atmosphere. The core stage is packed with over 1,400 sensors to help document all aspects of the test and gather data that NASA will analyze intensely over the next several days after the test.

“The reason we test is to uncover issues on the ground and not in space,” said Julie Bassler, SLS stages manager, at a NASA press conference this week. “We are doing everything we can to ensure that we get the most out of this hot fire test and we are ready to launch.”

If the test is successful, the core stage will be inspected and shipped to Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, where it will be joined to other parts of the rocket and the Orion crew capsule. Sometime after that, the SLS will make its launch debut on the uncrewed mission called Artemis 1. That mission doesn’t have a firm date yet, but NASA is aiming for that launch to happen in November 2021.

Even as the SLS heads for space, it’s worth noting that it is not the only deep space rocket on the horizon. SpaceX is rapidly prototyping its Starship system in Texas, and the Starship design is being considered as a candidate lunar lander for future NASA missions.

The window for the SLS hot fire test opens at 5:00PM ET, and coverage on NASA TV will start at 4:20PM ET. NASA’s livestream coverage can be found on YouTube and on the agency’s website.

Blue Origin is a solid competition from SpaceX. The New Shepard upgraded capsule made its first suborbital flight

Yesterday at 18: 18 Polish time Blue Origin sent on its first suborbital flight an improved New Shepard capsule. This is another test of the spacecraft for astronauts, the development of which is the responsibility of the company of the founder of Amazon.com – Jeff Besos. The company clearly aims to create a solution that allows tourist flights to orbit. This is nothing but the growing competition for the SpaceX project. Elon Musk should not underestimate the serious player who, as can be seen from the title information, takes the matter seriously and achieves success in this field. What exactly was yesterday’s Blue Origin New Shepard test flight to check and can we talk about the full success of the process stage?

The creator of Amazon’s power, Jeff Besos, specifically his company Blue Origin, took another step towards popularizing tourist flights. The New Shepard capsule made another test flight focused on crew amenities.

SpaceX: We will fly to Mars and the Moon straight from the sea platform

We live in amazing times, in which all the technology that surrounds us significantly and really increases the comfort of life human. Convenience, security and entertainment are not all that today’s world offers us. Giants-innovators work on a variety of solutions dedicated to various aspects of life. This also applies to traveling. Tourism may see enormous changes in the coming years. Soon, instead of intercontinental travel, we will fund “space trips”, which SpaceX and Blue Origin are working on.

SpaceX, Blue Origin and OneWeb: the future of the cosmic Internet

The latter company sent yesterday modernized manned tourist flights and the safety of passengers, the New Shepard capsule in flight along a sub-orbital trajectory. At its peak, an altitude of approximately 105 km was reached. The reusable rocket returned to the ground and landed smoothly. It was similar with the New Shepard capsule itself (RSS First Step), but here parachutes were used. This is another success of Blue Origin, a company that simply strives to make tourist space flights available to everyone.

Blue Origin New Shepard takes a new 'leap' successfully

Blue Origin New Shepard is the system launch which includes first stage and manned capsule of Jeff Bezos’ company. Yesterday afternoon, Italian time, a new test was conducted which ended with complete success.

by Mattia Speroni published 15 January 2021 , at 09: in the Science and Technology channel

Blue Origin

Jeff Bezos’ company, Blue Origin , successfully completed the NS mission – 14 of its launcher New Shepard bringing a mannequin called Mannequin Skywalker to suborbital altitude ), which simulated the presence on board of a crew. A relatively “simple” mission profile but which, as always, has many unknowns, from departure to landing. Everything went smoothly thus taking the company one step further in the project.

Blue Origin New Shepard NS – 09: everything went as planned

The company broadcast its attempt live allowing so users from all over the world to see what was happening on the launch pad and in the finish areas. As specified by Ariane Cornell (by Blue Origin), this is a step towards flying with real astronauts and the 2021 promises to be a decisive year in this sense.

We remind you that New Shepard has a structure that provides a first stage with a capsule in the upper area . The latter can be separated and landed autonomously as well as the first stage which can return to the ground and be reused. This should help reduce costs, as we have already learned with SpaceX.

The capsule, called RSS First Step (Reusable Space Ship), landed approximately 10 minutes after take-off (braked by three parachutes). The maximum altitude reached by the Blue Origin capsule was approximately 106 km crossing the Karman line and therefore officially arriving in Space, even if we are at much lower altitudes than those of the ISS, which orbits at about 400 km.

Both first stage and capsule were new and had never flown in precedence. This is partly because the capsule had a new internal structure to be more comfortable where six seats fit. For example there are new seats with integrated sound system and new screens to show astronauts what is going on.

There have also been improvements regarding the regulation of the ambient temperature and a better soundproofing. This should allow, once there are human beings on board, to have a pleasant experience.

Among the curiosities it is worth mentioning that Mannequin Skywalker had part of the in the pockets of the suit thousand postcards sent by students from all over the world. Now all that remains is to wait for the next tests and the possibility of sending a human being into space. Of course, we are still a long way from what SpaceX of is now able to do Elon Musk , but the goals of Jeff Bezos are however very important and also include the Moon. According to rumors, the next unmanned mission will be within six weeks while the first manned mission could be scheduled six weeks later.

The still fresh mind game in EU circles of operating your own satellite Internet and focusing on a particularly high degree of availability, security and resilience should quickly take shape. “My goal is to move forward quickly,” emphasized EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton on Tuesday at the 13 . European space conference. He therefore considers it appropriate for the Brussels government institution to submit a corresponding proposal to the EU Parliament and the Council of Ministers this year “so that we can act concretely”.

An end to the white spots According to Breton, the goal of the infrastructure should be the “dead zones” in the form of white spots on the Card to end Internet coverage and “give everyone access to high-speed broadband”. An ambitious target for an estimated five million EU households without a network. Elon Musk’s space company SpaceX wants to use the public tests for a comparable major project to customers in the USA and Northern Europe with around 900 satellite speeds of 50 to 150 offer Mbit / s. During test runs in summer, the download was between 29 and 61 Mbit / s and when uploading at 4.5 to 17 MBit / s end.

Digital sovereignty is also a reason for Breton to push ahead with the initiative as quickly as possible. According to him, Europe should become “autonomous” when it comes to satellite Internet and avoid dependence on Starlink or the British-Indian alternative OneWeb. It is important to “keep the continent connected, whatever happens”, including in the event of “massive attacks” on the network. In addition, the project should catapult Europe “into the quantum age” by ensuring communication via quantum encryption.

The Commission gave the end 2020 A feasibility study was commissioned by an industrial consortium for 7.1 million euros. This should sound out the expectations of potential users and the requirements of the mission within a year. Breton now made it clear that he expected the first results in April.

Thinking outside the box This is not a “business as usual” space project, emphasized the French. “It is broader. It will have to rely on industry from different sectors. We have to think outside the box, including in terms of funding.” “All possible sources” should be mobilized, such as the EU budget, the Member States, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the private sector.

Technically, Breton envisions that the project would involve a Altitude up to 2000 kilometers combined with others up to satellites in geostationary orbit (35. 786 kilometers altitude). It should complement existing infrastructures, e.g. improve the signal of the GPS alternative Galileo or provide data relay capacities for real-time missions in the Copernicus network. Additional sensors in space are also in demand to improve space surveillance.

No later than 2030 ready At Galileo it took 17 years from conception to about the first operational service, pointed out Jean-Marc Nasr from Airbus Space Systems. It shouldn’t take that long this time. The network must be usable at the latest at the beginning 2030 in order to still be able to play an international role. Riadh Cammoun from the Franco-Italian satellite manufacturer Thales Alenia Space recalled that in addition to money and a strategy, frequencies are also necessary for the planned constellation. According to the commission, negotiations are already underway with the responsible International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

Andreas Scheuer, Federal Minister for Transport and Digital Infrastructure, has meanwhile announced that he wants to launch a voucher program so that around 200. 000 Households in this country without fast internet could use satellite capacities at short notice during the Corona crisis. The CSU politician described this to the Funke media group as bridging aid for peripheral locations until fixed network projects funded there were also implemented. Each 500 Euro would cover the costs for installing a satellite connection. The green media politician Margit Stumpp criticized this as a populist crazy idea and an admission of government failure.
