To Infinity and Beyond: NASA Confirms Voyager Out of Solar System To quote Buzz Lightyear: To infinity and beyond!. That very well could be Voyager 1's motto. NASA scientists confirmed today that the Voyager 1 space probe has become the first human-made object to leave the solar system and venture into interstellar space. Voyager 1's precise location has been one of the most hotly debated scientific topics of the past year.

Fastest Spacecraft Record May Be Broken In 2018 By NASAâs Solar Probe Plus In 2018 though, a new NASA mission – Solar Probe Plus – will be launched. Designed to come as close as 8.5 solar radii to the Sun (that’s about about 5.9 million kilometers or 3.7 million miles), it will hit orbital velocities as high as 200 kilometers a second (450,000 miles an hour).

Saturn V The Saturn V was an American human-rated expendable rocket used by NASA between 1967 and 1973. The three-stage liquid-fueled super heavy-lift launch vehicle was developed to support the Apollo program for human exploration of the Moon and was later used to launch Skylab, the first American space station. The Saturn V was launched 13 times from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida with no loss of crew or payload. As of 2018, the Saturn V remains the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket ever

- Air vacuum excavators utilize the kinetic energy in a high velocity air stream to penetrate, expand and break-up soil. The loosened chunks of soil and rock are then removed from the hole through the use of a powerful vacuum. In this way a test hole is created that reveals the buried utility. Holes vary in size and shape. A typical test hole

Root Cause Analysis â Challenger Explosion At the time, Challenger was the most-flown orbiter in NASA’s fleet. Sadly, the Challenger made history in a different way that morning, entering the books as NASA’s first space shuttle disaster. A mere 73 seconds after liftoff, the space shuttle broke apart over the Atlantic, taking the lives of all seven crewmembers.

"Colossal Ring of Galaxies --""Largest Object in the Universe Spans 5 Billion Light Years""" Colossal Ring of Galaxies --Largest Object in the Universe Spans 5 Billion Light Years. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous events in the universe, releasing as much energy in a few seconds as the Sun does over its 10 billion year lifetime. They are thought to be the result of massive stars collapsing into black holes.

Grandpa astronaut to break Scott Kelly's space record A grandfather of three is poised to blast into space and the record books on Friday, becoming the American astronaut who has spent the longest time in space, NASA said. Jeff Williams, 58, is the first American to make three long-duration flights to orbit, and will break a US record set by astronaut Scott Kelly earlier this year. By the end of his half-year mission at the orbiting International Space Station, Williams will become the American with the most cumulative days in space—534, NASA said.

Otto von Guericke: Father of Vacuums Otto von Guericke: Father of Vacuums. Otto von Guericke was a German scientist born in the town of Magdeburg, Germany. He is best remembered for founding the physics of vacuums. In 1650, Otto invented a vacuum pump that was designed to pull air out of whatever vessel to which it was connected. It contained a piston and an air-gun cylinder with one-way flap valves.
