Veteran parabolic flight pilot Eric Delesallet talks with Space.com's Tereza Pultarova about what it takes to create ...

Star and planet formation has largely been considered separate, sequential processes. But in a new study, scientists at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have modeled a different scenario where ...

Resilience, a spacecraft built by Japan-based company Ispace, is expected to attempt to touch down on the moon at 3:17 p.m. ET. If successful, it will be the first private-sector lunar lander built ...

Gravity has been recognized to be one of the fundamental forces of nature for a long time and is a subtle pull that keeps ...

The platform can realize automatic levelling and own high levelling precision and fast speed. It is a good simulation of the ground zero gravity environment and can effectively evaluate the simulation ...

The most modern formulation of this idea is the simulation hypothesis ... But if the objects cluster together due to gravity, that information entropy is reduced, and so they will have more ...

Orbiter is a spaceflight simulator based on Newtonian mechanics. Its playground is our solar system with many of its major bodies – the sun, planets and moons. You take control of a spacecraft – ...

The team’s new lunar model goes beyond static topography. Because the Moon follows an elliptical path, Earth’s gravity squeezes and relaxes its rocky shell during each 27-day circuit. The researchers ...

Countermeasures such as visual aids and proprioceptive devices could help astronauts improve distance and time estimates during long-duration missions, especially in vehicles with restricted ...

The B61-13 is the latest variant of the Cold War-era B61 gravity bomb, featuring a higher maximum yield than its predecessor, the B61-12. Proposed in 2023 during the Biden administration ...

This is the Terrestrial Artificial Lunar And Reduced gravIty Simulator, or TALARIS. It’s the latest in a series of prototypes built to perfect the technologies for an unusual planetary rover ...
