We’re about to reach a milestone that many thought we would never reach. After years of wrangling, cost overruns, threats of cancellation, and lobbying by the science community, the James Webb Space Telescope is only weeks away from its first images.
The Hubble Space Telescope barely got going before scientists started thinking about the telescope that would come next. In the early 1990s, serious planning for the JWST got underway, with an initial launch date set for 2007. At that time, the budget was set at $500 million.
Request for Proposals for the 2022 Science… | The Planetary Society
We are excited to announce a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for our Science and Technology Empowered by the Public (STEP) Grants. These grants are planetary science and/or technology grants chosen from an open, international, competed proposal process.
Proposers must submit preliminary proposals (pre-proposals) by 23:59 UT (16:59 PDT) on August 17, 2022. Based on the pre-proposal submissions, a small number of proposers will be invited to submit full proposals from which grant selections will be made.
Russia seeks to hijack German telescope on its X-ray spacecraft | Ars Technica
Launched in 2019 on a Proton rocket, the Spektrum-Röntgen-Gamma telescope is arguably the most significant space science mission built and flown by Russia since the dissolution of the Soviet Union more than three decades ago.
The 1.2-ton Spektr-RG spacecraft, located about 1.5 million km from Earth in a halo orbit, is an advanced X-ray observatory designed to detect and map galaxy clusters as well as supermassive black holes.
Stellar populations of NGC 5053 investigated with AstroSat
At a distance of about 57,000 light years away from the Earth, NGC 5053 is one of the most metal-poor galactic GCs. Although NGC 5053 was discovered in 1784, and almost 150 years later it was confirmed as a globular cluster .
Now, in order to shed more light on the stellar content of NGC 5053, a group of astronomers led by Kolencheri Jithendran Nikitha of the Indian Institute of Space science and Technology in Kerala, India, decided to observe this cluster with the Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) onboard ...
Astronomers Just Practiced What Would Happen if a Potentially Dangerous Asteroid was Detected - ...
In and around our planet, there are thousands of comets and asteroids known as Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). Multiple space agencies and government affiliates are responsible for tracking them, especially those known as Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHA).
Monitoring PHAs is a huge responsibility that requires a worldwide effort, including tracking, alerts, and disaster preparedness.
This is the Last Selfie InSight Will Ever Take - Universe Today
While the images sent back by the Viking 1 and 2 landers were breathtaking, both landers were unable to take images of themselves due to their design. They couldn't take selfies, and everyone loves a selfie. No matter the setting or circumstance, it's important to document that you were there.
The Space Review: Our Mars rover mission was suspended because of the Ukraine war: here’s ...
Just a few months ago, we were confidently expecting to launch our rover, Rosalind Franklin, to Mars in September as part of the ExoMars mission, a collaboration between Europe and Russia. The landing was planned for June 2023 .
The final preparations started in February 21, with part of our team heading to Turin, Italy, to carry out the final alignment and calibration tests. All was going well, though some of the team were slightly delayed by Storm Eunice in the UK.
Climate change: Alps turning green, vanishing snow cover visible from space - SCIENCE News
As the world gets hotter and extreme events become more intense and frequent, the consequences are being seen on the far frontiers of the planets. The Alps mountain ranges in Europe are witnessing a massive overhaul as its snow-covered peaks are becoming greener.
Researchers found that global warming has had a significant impact on the Alpine region similar to the one being noticed in the Arctic.
Wow! International Space Station and Boeing Starliner captured in the same incredible image | Space
Set phasers to stunned: A photographer on the ground spotted a spacecraft 250 miles (400 kilometers) overhead, just about to meet up with the International Space Station (ISS).
Szabolcs Nagy, a space station tracker and photographer in London, captured Boeing's Starliner just 650 feet (200 meters) from the orbiting complex as the uncrewed Orbital Flight Test 2 ( OFT-2 ) made a historic docking on May 20.
SpaceX's next cargo launch to space station delayed from Friday due to possible fuel leak | Space
The robotic flight, called CRS-25, will send a SpaceX Dragon capsule toward the orbiting lab atop a Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The liftoff had been scheduled for Friday (June 10), but that's not going to happen.
That issue involves hydrazine, the propellant used by Dragon's Draco thrusters. While fueling Dragon up, technicians measured elevated vapor readings of hydrazine in one part of the Draco system, the NASA statement explained.
