Today @NASA: Historic Artemis I Launch, Power Spacewalk, New Webb Image & X-59 Aircraft

The historical launch of NASA’s Artemis I flight test … A powerwalk outside the spaceport station … And the starts of a brand-new star … a few of the stories to inform you about– This Week at NASA! Artemis I Mega Rocket Launches Orion to Moon “And here we go …”– Launch analyst On November 16, NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft illuminated the night sky at the Kennedy Space Center, to mark the start of NASA’s historical Artemis I flight test. “And liftoff of Artemis I. We increase together. Back to the Moon and beyond.”– Launch analyst The prepared 25- and-a-half-day objective requires the uncrewed Orion to tackle 40,000 miles beyond the Moon prior to going back to Earth. The objective will likewise check all systems prior to flying astronauts on future Artemis objectives.

Koekemoer (STScI) Webb Catches Fiery Hourglass as New Star Forms This brand-new Webb Space Telescope image reveals once-hidden functions of a protostar within an hourglass-shaped cloud of gas and dust. The image is offering insight into the starts of a brand-new star. A GE Aviation F414- GE-100 engine is set up in NASA’s peaceful supersonic X-59 airplane, at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works center in Palmdale, California. The 13- foot-long engine packs 22,000 pounds of propulsion energy and will power the X-59 to accelerate to Mach 1.4. Setup of the engine marks a significant turning point as the X-59 nears assembly conclusion, taxi tests, and very first flight.

The engine will move the X-59 to accelerate to Mach 1-point-4 and altitudes as much as about 55,000 feet. That’s what’s up today @NASA …
