Human spaceflight has no consensus driver. The Moon, Mars, low Earth orbit, an asteroid — all priorities are functionally a product of opinion, however passionate. There is no objective reason why one should be the goal over any other. Engineering and cost serve as the primary constraints on near-term human exploration goals. But nothing anchors…
The sun is the most critical star in our solar system, and studying it is essential to understanding various solar phenomena, including solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and sunspots. Over the years, several space missions have been launched to study the sun and help us learn more about its behavior, characteristics, and impact on Earth and other…
Space exploration has always fascinated humanity, with the idea of reaching beyond our planet and exploring the unknown. With advancements in technology, we have been able to send probes, rovers, and even humans into space. But can space missions involving human spaceflight pave the way for the colonization of other planets? Human spaceflight has been a crucial aspect of space exploration, enabling us to collect…
Image: Steven Madow / Space Explored In the month of April, the US launched 18 rockets into space. Nearly all of them were successful. While the vast majority were for SpaceX Falcon 9s launching the company’s Starlink satellites, it was still a diverse set of rockets, including NASA’s Space Launch System, Blue Origin’s New Glenn,…
