When the spacecraft reached the new destination, all you have to do is just to give the box to the recipient. However, σε αυτόν τον πλανήτη υπάρχουν μερικά προβλήματα…
WING IT! Blender Animation Studio just released the animated short film "WING IT!"- a movie created with open source software including Blender. A dedicated engineer receives an unwelcome visit from an enthusiastic would-be pilot. Both are then launched into the air out of control in a space shuttle.
The DART spacecraft crashes into asteroid to change its trajectory After 10 months of space travel, the DART probe hit its target by dropping more than 20.000 km/h in the asteroid Dimorphos located about 11 million kilometers from Earth. The purpose of the mission was to deflect the orbit of the asteroid in order to protect us from an asteroid heading towards our planet. The images were captured by the probe before impact with the approximately 160-meter-diameter asteroid. It will take a few weeks for scientists to confirm that the asteroid has indeed deviated from its orbit.
Tourists in space On Sunday, July 11, 2021, billionaire Richard Branson, accompanied by three other passengers and two pilots, made his first trip into space with virgin galactic company's VSS Unity spacecraft, thus starting space tourism. The aircraft took off from the runway at Spaceport America Base in New Mexico, climbing to an altitude of about 15 km before the landing of the spacecraft. VSS Unity then ignitioned its engine and started an ultrasonic ascent, reaching an altitude of over 80 km., A height defined in the United States as the 'frontier' of space (100 km to other countries). As soon as the engine was off, passengers were able to get out of their seats, to navigate gravity and observe the Earth from space.
How fast is light in space; The James O'Donoghue, scientist in the space agency JAXA Japan, created another very interesting video that shows the speed of light on a large scale, between planets in space.
The distribution of space debris around the Earth This Animation of the European Space Agency (THAT) shows the number of space junk orbiting Earth. The objects are divided into four main categories:
Red: satellites (functional or dysfunctional)
Yellow: rocket pieces
Green: Items related missions (caps, caps, adapters etc.)
Blue: fragments
Space Sharks After landing on earth, by Trevor and Gleb, two sharks aliens from outer space, forced to explore an unknown and frightening world. The "Space Sharks" It is an animation of Stefan Schumacher, created in cooperation with the Agency Shark Stewards to protect sharks.
The behavior of mice in space 20 female mice were transferred to the International Space Station with the spacecraft SpaceX CRS-4 Dragon. During this the NASA study, mice showed various changes in their behavior. After 7-10 days, younger mice began to spin round in the cage, which evolved into a coordinated group activity. This activity may represent stereotyped motor behavior of mice in such an exercise wheel, or vestibular sense acquired since been adapted to the environment. briefly, mice learned in a few days how to move through a microgravity environment.
Landing from space to Earth The American company Blue Origin published the video on the landing of the New Shepard rocket epanachrisimopoioymenoy, Since the camera is placed on the same rocket, who has traveled three times to space. On April 2, spacecraft successfully landed on the launch pad after reaching flight at an altitude of 103.000 meters.
The explosion of the Tianlong-3 space rocket in China On June 30, 2024, aerospace manufacturer Space Pioneer conducted a static propulsion test with the first stage of its new Tianlong-3 rocket in Gongyi, a town of about 800.000 residents. The test ended after 50 seconds, when the rocket's first stage fired from the ramp, it flew for a while and then landed in a hilly area. A huge explosion followed, in which fortunately no one was injured.

Global warming from 1880 to 2021 A spiral animation, showing us global warming between 1880 and 2021, based on data from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). White and blue indicate lower temperatures, while orange and red have higher temperatures.
The launch of the James Webb Telescope A new space telescope was launched from the tropical space port of Guyana on December 25, 2021, which will give much more information than the old Hubble. The James Webb telescope that was built for 25 years, it will take another month to reach its orbit. Intended to be the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb was funded by three space services: NASA, ESA and CSA. It will be 100 times more powerful and will incorporate improved and different technologies to capture 70% more light.
NASA plane for transporting heavy cargo The Super Guppy is a large wide-body aircraft used to transport large components. First built in 1965, it is the only aircraft in the world to carry a complete S-IVB, the third stage of the Saturn V rocket. Super Guppy played this role several times during the Apollo space program.
