NASA has too Many Spacecraft to Communicate With. Time to Build More Dishes

70-m dish of the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex, located near Barstow, CA. Credit – NASA / JPL – Caltech NASA is a sprawling organization that has to talk to everything from politicians in Washington DC to space probes that have left the solar system. Discussions with the first might be as simple as a written letter for informal conversation, while the second requires a high-power network of ground-based antennas. Known as the Deep Space Network (DSN) this series of antennas spread over three continents is the backbone of NASA’s communications with its various space probes. Now the DSN is in the process of implementing a well-deserved upgrade.

Explore NASA’s 70-Meter Deep Space Communications Dish (360° Video)

Explore NASA’s massive 70-meter deep space communications antenna located at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex in Barstow, California. This antenna is part of the Deep Space Network, NASA’s international network of facilities used to communicate with faraway spacecraft exploring our solar system. The antennas of the Deep Space Network are the indispensable link to robotic explorers venturing beyond Earth. They provide the crucial connection for commanding our spacecraft and receiving their never-before-seen images and scientific information on Earth, propelling our understanding of the universe, our solar system and ultimately, our place within it.

An Upcoming Mission is Going to Assemble and Manufacture a Communications Antenna and Beam in Space

It has been suggested that if humanity wants to truly embark on a renewed era of space exploration, one of the key ingredients is the ability to manufacture structures in space. By assembling everything from satellites to spacecraft in orbit, we would eliminate the most costly aspect of going to space. This, simply put, is the sheer expense of escaping Earth’s gravity well, which requires heavy launch vehicles and LOTS of fuel!


As part of a $142 million contract signed with NASA, SPIDER will assemble seven elements to form a 3-meter (9-foot) communications antenna that will communicate with ground stations in the Ka-band. It will also construct a 10-meter (32-foot) lightweight composite spacecraft beam – using technology developed by Washington-based aerospace company Tethers Unlimited – to demonstrate that structures can be built in space.

ORION: NASA'S Nuclear Rocket Proposal

Image: Project Orion concept. Image Credit: Adrian Mann. At their most fundamental level, all rockets past and present were and are, basically, controlled bombs.
Their fuel consists of materials and chemicals which, when activated/combined in the proper sequence and amount,
create a series of explosive reactions. The resulting energy release is then directed in a manner so that the resulting exhaust
comes out of the end of the rocket away from the payload sitting atop it and the direction that its builders want to send that payload.
That is essentially Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion put into practice.

Image: Artist’s rendition of NASA’s Project Orion. Credit: NASA. The former Soviet Union had several real world examples of just such a catastrophe with their equivalent N1 rocket,
which they were using to compete with the United States in the race to place a man on the Moon by 1970.
Every one of their N1 tests (all unmanned) ended in dramatic failure, with one rocket explosion on the ground
practically vaporizing its launch pad and heavily cratering another pad with debris half a mile (almost one kilometer) away.
So now imagine a rocket design where the fuel used were actual bombs detonated on purpose –
and nuclear bombs at that. It was known as Project Orion.

Image (click to enlarge). Credit: Rhys Taylor. If nuclear power could be plausibly applied to mere ground transportation, then using it to send heavy space vessels
into the “final frontier” only made even more sense at the dawn of the Space Age. Both superpowers were cranking out those
very methods of propulsion at an ever-increasing rate. In an example of turning swords into plowshares, Project Orion was envisioned as a vessel carrying a supply of hydrogen bombs
to be ejected out the stern of the spaceship one at a time. The bomb would then be detonated mere seconds later,
where the resulting plasma would encounter a large, thick, shock-absorbing “pusher plate” attached to the end of the spaceship
that would simultaneously allow Orion to be moved forward while protecting the ship from the blast and radiation.
Each new bomb detonation that followed would push the vessel faster and faster, allowing Orion to reach just about anywhere in the Solar System
within one year or the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, in just over one century under one mission scenario.

Image (click to enlarge): General Atomics Orion spaceship concept. Credit: William Black. The plans for Orion were anything but timid. Manned Mars missions using this vessel would have been sent in 1965,
followed by a mission to the ringed planet Saturn in 1970! The spaceship in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the USS Discovery,
was originally designed as an Orion type craft aimed at Saturn in the novel version. The author of the film’s screenplay and novel,
Arthur C. Clarke, was also a member of Project Orion. Not only could Orion have conducted a round-trip voyage to Pluto in just one year,
but Dyson also calculated a version that could flyby Alpha Centauri in about 130 years at 3% light speed.
By comparison, the Voyager space probes will take 77,000 years to reach the distance of our celestial neighbor 4.3 light-years away.
The team even considered a massive Orion that could serve as an interstellar ark, which became the vehicle of choice
in the 2014 television mini-series Ascension.

Image: Project Orion ‘Hot Rod’ Propulsion Test Vehicle. Credit: Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. In the end, Orion was terminated neither by physics nor technology but by politics and a growing public fear of nuclear power.
The Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty signed in 1963 forbids testing nuclear devices of any kind everywhere but underground.
Two years later, the USAF canceled the project’s budget. Orion became a legendary symbol of an era known for both
its far-reaching dreams and excesses of power. To this day, Orion is still the only feasible mean of interstellar travel,
both robotic and manned, that could actually be built with current (publicly available) technology and knowledge.

India's Mission to MARS!



India is gearing up for its first ever space undertaking to the Red Planet dubbed the Mars Orbiter Mission, or MOM � which is the brainchild of the Indian Space Research Organization, or ISRO. Among other objectives, MOM will conduct a highly valuable search for potential signatures of Martian methane which could stem from either living or non living sources. The historic Mars bound probe also serves as a forerunner to bolder robotic exploration goals. If all goes well India would become only the 4th nation or entity from Earth to survey Mars up close with spacecraft, following(...)

This section for the mission to Mercury

Click Here for The Mercury Messenger Mission Main Page

This is the Messenger flight path:


The trajectory of the Mercury MESSENGER, which flew by Mercury in 2008 and 2009, and orbited the planet beginning in 2011. (A long discussion of the complexities of the planetary flybys and gravitational assists required to achieve this goal, which required a considerable amount of time to write, was inadvertantly lost in saving this file; and as a result of the frustration involved in that loss, will be put off until another day. In the meantime, this page serves as a placeholder and a prod to repost the discussion sooner rather than later.) (Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Institution, NASA). (placeholder for at least two pages -- Orbital Perturbations, which will be more about the basic physics, and Gravitational Assists, which will be more about its application to spacecraft, such as Mariner 10 and Mercury MESSENGER) Gravitational assists (sometimes referred to as "gravitational slingshots") involve the use of a planet's gravity to change the orbit of a spacecraft. Similar changes occur when celestial bodies, such as comets or asteroids, pass near a planet; but in those cases, the orbital changes are referred to as perturbations. Gravitational assists, although fundamentally the same, involve the deliberate use of planetary perturbations to change spacecraft orbits, to reduce the amount of fuel required to achieve a desired orbit. The Mercury MESSENGER spacecraft's orbital path(s) represent one of the best examples of the use of gravitational assists, both because of the complexity of the orbital changes (half a dozen gravitational assists were used), and because the assists allowed an otherwise impossible result -- namely, insertion into orbit around Mercury. (keeping in mind that this is a very quick and dirty introduction, to be replaced by a clearer and more detailed discussion, complete with diagrams:) To send a spacecraft to another planet, we must first get it off the ground and away from the Earth. This requires huge amounts of energy, and enormous rockets, in comparison to the size of the payload (the scientific instruments, power and control systems, and radio transmitters and antennas). But even if we expend such energies, all we basically do is put the spacecraft into an orbit around the Sun essentially identical to the orbit of the Earth (it is in essentially the same place, relative to the Sun, moving at essentially the same velocity as the Earth, if all we do is get it off the Earth; having the same motion in the same place as the Earth, the Sun's gravity will give it the same orbit). To send it to another planet, we have to speed it up relative to the Sun (if we want to send it to an outer planet) or slow it down (if we want to send it to an inner planet). As an example, if we launch a spacecraft into nearly-Earth-orbital flight, then change its motion relative to the Earth to send it to another planet, we need to speed it up by about 3 miles per second to send it to Mars, and 9 miles per second to send it to Jupiter; whereas to reach Venus, we need to slow it down by about 3 miles per second, and to reach Mercury, we need to slow it down by about 9 miles per second. (The energy required to do this goes as the square of the speed change, so it takes nearly 10 times as much energy per pound to send a spacecraft to Mercury or Jupiter as it does to send one to Mars or Venus). The change in motion described above can be accomplished by firing the spacecraft's rockets while it is in Earth orbit, headed forward relative to the Earth (to increase its speed and send it outward), or backward relative to the Earth (to decrease its speed and send it inward). Part of the rocket power changes the orbit from one around the Earth to one around the Sun (taking it away from the Earth on a more or less permanent basis), and the rest changes the orbital velocity (as specified above, for the four planets listed there). Now suppose we follow a spacecraft thrown/fired backward relative to our orbit, at 9 miles per second, so that instead of moving forward (with the Earth) at 18 miles per second, it is only moving forward at 9 miles per second (both speeds relative to the Sun). If the spacecraft still had 18 miles per second speed, it would follow the same orbit as the Earth; but reducing its speed to half that value would cause it to fall inward, toward the Sun, and eventually, to the orbit or Mercury. So if the relative positions of the Earth and Mercury are correct, the spacecraft can sweep past Mercury, as it falls to its orbit. The trouble is, that is exactly what it would do -- just sweep past Mercury, take a few pictures, then continue on its orbit, and to a first approximation, return to the origin of its motion; namely, the place in our orbit where we launched it. As it happens, that's essentially what was done with the first spacecraft to fly by Mercury -- Mariner 10 -- in 1974. It was thrown backwards, fell towards Mercury, and snapped pictures of the sunlit side of the planet as it swept past it. And if its orbit had remained as it started off, that would have been just about it. However, by going past Mercury, the spacecraft experienced a change in its orbital motion which reduced its speed, and the size of its orbit, so instead of returning to our orbit, it moved only partway outward, then fell back to Mercury's orbit. Fortunately, it was realized beforehand that the time required for it to follow the new, smaller orbit was approximately two Mercury years, so that when the spacecraft returned to the point where it passed Mercury in 1974, Mercury wouldn't be far from returning to the same point. By carefully choosing the distance and orientation of the spacecraft as it passed Mercury, the orbital period of the spacecraft was made exactly equal to two Mercury years, so that it was able to take additional photos of the planet, about six months later (unfortunately, Mercury rotates exactly once every two "years", so exactly the same side of Mercury was facing the Sun; but at least this did allow for better and more complete photographic coverage of the sunward side of the planet). In fact, it proved possible to arrange the second flyby to allow for a third and final flyby, under the same circumstances, another two Mercury years or six months later, in 1975. (Hence the three flyby dates shown on the Mercury page, in March and September of 1974, and March of 1975). (to follow later -- aside from a grammatically and pedadogically superior discussion, and diagrams of the Mariner 10 flyby -- drawings showing how MESSENGER passed by the Earth a year after its initial launch, and was slowed down enough to fall toward Venus; a discussion of how the half dozen gravitational assists allows the spacecraft to lose enough speed to attain orbit (in 2011); an introductory discussion of the physics of planetary perturbations; and examples of similar interactions involving asteroids and comets)

A New Radar Instrument Will Try To Fill the Void Left By Arecibo

Observational astronomy is dependent on its data, and therefore also dependent on the instruments that collect that data. So when one of those instruments fails it is a blow to the profession as a whole. The collapse of the Arecibo Telescope last year after it was damaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017 permanently deprived the radio astronomy world of one of its primary observational tools. Now a team at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) hopes to upgrade an existing telescope at the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia to replace the failed Puerto Rican one and provide even more precise images of near Earth objects in the radio spectrum.

Context image of the detail one collected by GBT that shows where on the moon’s surface the above image was taken.

The Largest Fully Steerable Telescope in the World | National Geographic

The Green Bank Telescope, located in Green Bank, West Virginia, is home to the largest fully steerable telescope in the world. Taller than the Statue of Liberty, and with a diameter equivalent to the length of three U.S. football fields, this engineering marvel is precise enough to capture the faintest radio waves in the cosmos. Using the data from the GBT, researchers and scientists are able to study the faintest radio objects in the universe. ➡ Subscribe: About National Geographic: National Geographic is the world's premium destination for science, exploration, and adventure.

Lunar IMPACT!!!


Where there�s smoke, there�s fire, or in this instance, a new hole in the moon.
NASA�s Lunar Impact Monitoring Program recorded the brightest meteoroid impact ever
in its 8-year history on March 17 this year. The flash of light, as luminous as a 4th magnitude star
and lasting about one second, was caught on video striking the moon in the Sea of Rains (Mare Imbrium)
not far from the prominent crater Copernicus.

Low-Flying Moon Probe Spies Craters And Mountains While Seeking Stars by Elizabeth Howell on February 14, 2014 A series of images from NASA�s Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE)
in Februrary 2014 showing the moon. Credit: NASA Ames
While NASA�s newest lunar probe was tracking the stars, it also captured the moon!
This series of star tracker images shows Earth�s closest large neighbour from a close-up orbit.
And as NASA explains, the primary purpose of these star-tracking images from the Lunar Atmosphere
and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) was not the lunar pictures themselves.

Ladee images just before crashing on the Far side of the Moon


NASA�s Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE)
literally �saw the light� just days before crashing into the lunar farside
last Thursday April 17. Skimming just a few kilometers above the moon�s surface,
mission controllers took advantage of this unique low angle to gaze out over the
moon�s horizon in complete darkness much like the Apollo astronauts did from lunar orbit more than 40 years ago.

NASA has Chosen 4 new Pioneer Missions: Aspera, Pandora, StarBurst, and PEUO

Artist’s depiction of neutron stars colliding Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center / CI Lab Budget constraints are a major consideration for every space program throughout the world. Lately, NASA has taken a particularly bold approach, by not only innovating through novel ideas that could do great science, but innovating with the way they fund those missions. A good example of this innovation is the Astrophysics Pioneers program, which is a NASA fund program targeted at early- to mid-career researchers. The interesting thing about the program is that the overall budget for each project is capped at $20 million. Now, the program has selected its first four projects to move ahead to its second stage.

The Outer Space Treaty was Signed in 1967. Can it Handle the Future of Space Exploration?

Artist rendition of a future mining outpost on the Moon. (Credit: NASA/SAIC/Pat Rawlings)

The full name of the agreement is “Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies”. The document was drawn up by the Legal Subcommittee of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space that had been established by the United Nations General Assembly shortly after the Soviet Union launched its Sputnik satellite in 1957. The treaty consists of just 17 articles, all of which were intended to be flexible in order to adapt to new advances in space technology. At its core, though, are the key principals that underline all modern space exploration. These include an agreement that all exploration should be done “for the benefit and in the interests of all countries” and that nobody has the right to claim celestial bodies as their own, in an attempt to avoid the frenetic imperialism of the nineteenth century. To avoid space becoming a new frontier for war, the treaty banned countries from placing weapons of mass destruction in space – though doesn’t forbid conventional weapons. 107 countries are currently party to the treaty, although another 23 have signed it but not completed ratification. This makes it, in the words of Christopher Johnson, the space law adviser for the Secure World Foundation, “the most important and most fundamental source of international space law.” Nations subsequently create their own specific legislation, but this draws on the 17 principles laid out in the Outer Space Treaty. As a result space exploration has remained entirely peaceful – for the time being at least.

Space Law and Science Fiction Literature | Saskia Vermeylen | TEDxLancasterU

New technological and scientific developments, together with increased privatisation and commercialisation of space activities, put pressure to reform current international space law. As future activities in space may include space settlements, resource mining and space tourism, a radical vision on how to govern space resources is needed. Utopian literature can play a key role in the consideration of alternative governance regimes. This talk explores science fiction literature as a source of legal imagination and speculative jurisprudence with the main aim to develop new space law that can guide a more ethical relationship between law and technology in future space endeavours. Dr Saskia Vermeylen is a critical legal scholar working in the area of property theory and resource frontiers. She joined Strathclyde University’s Law School in July 2016 as a Chancellor’s Fellow. She studies indigenous peoples’ cultural expressions as a source of law and is currently finishing a monograph on critical property theory drawing upon the work of Jacques Derrida and Emmanuel Levinas. As part of her interest in property theory she’s also embarking on a new research project on the legal and ethical meaning of ‘common heritage of mankind’, a concept that is currently much debated in the context of outer space mining. She has just been awarded a Leverhulme Fellowship to study the relationship between Utopian Literatures and Space Law. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

How Space Travel Will Create New Laws | The New Yorker

Fifty years after the Apollo 11 mission, the field of outer-space law is growing. In 1967, the U.N. established rules and a treaty that restrict any country from claiming ownership or mining off-planet. However, since 2015, Congress has allowed U.S. companies to plan mine resources in space. Still haven’t subscribed to The New Yorker on YouTube ►►
