Really Rocket Science

Gestern 11:30 Uhr Ortszeit in Cape Canaveral war es soweit und nach dem erneuten verschieben des Startes hat gestern aber alles geklappt. Die Rakete der NASA Ares-X-1 wurde vom Weltraumbahnhof zu ihrem Test Flug gestartet. Sie soll mit über 700 Sensoren Messungen an das Bodenpersonal weitergeben. Der Flug dauerte aber nicht wirklich lang, denn sie sollen [...] Related posts: Aktueller Spielplatz Test vom TÜV – Zum Teil Lebensgefährlich Windows 7 offizieller Verkauf-Start heute – Kaufen od

Setelah tertunda lebih dari sehari, Badan Antariksa Amerika NASA akhirnya meluncurkan roket terbarunya – Ares I-X. Cuaca akhirnya membaik hari Rabu di Pusat Antariksa Kennedy Florida untuk memungkinkan peluncuran roket tersebut. Roket itu meluncur dengan kecepatan melebihi empat kali kecepatan suara dan mencapai ketinggian 40 kilometer dalam waktu dua menit. Ares meninggalkan atmosfir bumi dan mengirim video rekaman sebelum jatuh kembali ke bumi. Dengan parasut, roket itu mendarat di samudera At

Adding insulation to an existing home can be difficult. There aren’t a lot of available options unless you already mean to remove your plaster or drywall. It would be easy to install insulation if your walls were open. Blow in insulation could be a good option for those that don’t have plans to open up their walls. Little holes would have to be put in your home’s exterior walls to blow the insulation into place. The main drawback to putting in insulation this way is that you will never have comp

NASA’s Ares I-X test rocket lifted off at 11:30 a.m. EDT Wednesday from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. All told, the flight test lasted about six minutes: the launch from the newly modified Launch Pad 39B, a two-minute powered flight, and then a splashdown of the rocket’s booster stage nearly 150 miles downrange. The Ares I-X flight test will provide NASA the opportunity to test and prove the new rocket’s flight characteristics, hardware, facilities and ground operations, while als

NASA did a head fake on me today.  I kept an eye on the Ares launch for a bit and gave up due to the report of electrical activity needing to be checked.  Then they launched the silly thing.  Knowing... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

STS-95 was a Space Shuttle Discovery mission launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida on October 29, 1998. It was the 25th flight of Discovery and the 92nd mission flown since the start of the Space Shuttle program in April 1981. It was a highly publicized mission due to former Project Mercury astronaut, and United States Senator, John H. Glenn, Jr.’s return to space for his second space flight. At age 77, Glenn became the oldest person, to date, to go into space. This mission is also n

On October 27, 2009 in Palo Alto at Tibco Software, the SDForum Cloud Services SIG presented “The Federal Government and Cloud Computing”. Bernard Golden, CEO of HyperStratus and Joshua McKenty, Technical Architect of NASA’s Nebula Project talked about the new federal commitment to cloud computing. Bernard Golden recently spent a week in Washington, DC, meeting with Congressional Committee staff members and various Federal agencies to discuss their cloud computing initiatives and concerns. Ber

Weil das Ergebnis das Vertrauen in die zivile Luftfahrt hätte gefährden können, sei seinerzeit das Resümee der Studie geheim gehalten worden. Als es dann doch an die Öffentlichkeit
