...spacecraft is then transferred from Callisto to Ganymede in two steps: the first step uses Callisto and Ganymede gravity assists to reduce the velocity with respect to Ganymede. Further velocity leveraging is obtained in a second step via a so-called...
I was here – Rosetta’s self-portrait as it passes Mars, one of four planetary gravity assists needed to boost the spacecraft onto the trajectory to meet its target, comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko
... Triana but nicknamed Goresat, was under development to take real time images from L1 (a point where the gravity of Earth and Sun is balanced) in a mission that the vice-president hoped would better depict our planet...
... Sun thus making conditions difficult for biological life to develop and persist. Nonetheless, despite its modest gravity, Mercury also has an atmosphere, albeit very tenuous, which is constantly replenished in a way yet to be clarified, and its...
... unique event by envisioning and creating everyday fashion for a tomorrow’s world, where space travel is common and gravity is not a barrier. Students were also asked to design garments using what they perceive to be future space ‘technology...
...of data link. Increasing demand for small satellite constellations requires efficient communication architectures in science missions such as gravity mapping, tracking forest fires, finding water resources or detecting vector diseases on Earth. There...
