3 Man Crew Went On A Sprint Run to Space Station

Pooja Kashyap

Michael Hopkins of NASA and Oleg Kotov & Sergei Ryazansky of Russia took off from Baikonur space centre for the International Space Station atop a Soyuz rocket. The technique employed by the capsule in orbiting the Earth is slightly different from the conventional one in the sense that it will orbit the Earth four times than 30. This technique of sprint run in space was formerly employed in Soviet era but only implemented on a regular basis in the past year. The plan is to combat stresses of space faced by…

Epsilon Soared Into Space To Gaze Planets

Pooja Kashyap

In order to create a mark in the international rocket – launching business, Japan has come up with their new rocket called Epsilon. As per the sources, Epsilon is a cheaper yet efficient solution of sending satellites into space. This is the second rocket after H-II that the nation has launched to improve the reliability and minimize costs. The production of Epsilon has cost around a third of H-II. The reason being its latest computer machines, that can perform self-autonomous tasks, like keeping checks and assembling parts. In order to…

Meteor Impact Led To Pastoral Revolution

Pooja Kashyap

It is very likely to think that an meteor colliding with earth may wash out the complete planet. However, what will happen if the size is somewhere between twenty-five square feet, well, the effect will be like a bomb blast. In either of the case, the result will be a disaster. We believe that comet or meteor impact always results in catastrophe but researchers from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, US believes in possibility that meteor impact could be a reason of initiating civilization. As per the earlier versions of…

Space Colonisation, The Next Level of Evolution

Pooja Kashyap

Personifying the Earth as fragile, Stephen Hawking, has drawn attention to a fact that earth might not be able to support us after 1,000 years and hence humanity must try its aim of going into space for colonization. Technologically humans have advanced relatively but predicting a lush world other than Earth is not that easy. Therefore, to colonize any planet in space, first thing we would require is gravity and artificial habitat. Alternatively, we need to travel insurmountable light years to reach/look for a planet that is already sodden with…

Space Debris Affecting Our Vital Services

Pooja Kashyap

One day we woke up and witness that the financial markets have been crippled, we try to get updates from TV/computers but the signals are not linked, we try to connect to our friends but guess what, the phone’s also not working. Then we acquaint ourselves with the reality, space junk has crashed into the satellites and so no communications! Seems like a scene from some sci-fi movie but if the problem of growing space waste is not tackled, the scene would be déjà vu in real life.
