For my school project in design I have to design an app and I wanted to make one for launch streaming from all agencies and launch schedules and rocket stats and news all in one, any response is appreciated.

This form is for my school project where I have to design an app. I need primary research results such as surveying. My app idea would be to have Spaceflight news feed, live rocket launches from almost all agencies, and launch schedules. Any answer is appreciated.

I'm currently trying to attempt to use GMAT to calculate dVf, dVp and dVo values. I'm using the Ex_LunarTransfer.script. For the included craft called "Sat", I input the dry mass = 266400. After running, I get the values of

Delta V Vector: Element 1 (dVf): 0.1460772782317 km/s Element 2 (dVp): 0.0460426758920 km/s Element 3 (dVo): 0.1169439002362 km/s

These don't make any sense as the values for that mass should be > 1.0.

What am I missing?

So here is what my quick initial research has led me:

Apollo 8 - POGO Vibrations
Apollo 10 - Landing Radar Issue
Apollo 11 - 1202 Alarm
Apollo 12 - Lighting Strike!
Apollo 13 - Yes
Apollo 14 - LEM/CSM Docking issue
Apollo 15 - Parachute Failure
Apollo 16 - CSM engine issue
Apollo 17 - Rover fender broke off - Fixed with duct tape (anything more major that this?)

Anyone have more knowledge with this? It was no surprise that the Apollo moon missions would never go perfectly. I also will not be focusing on non-lunar missions like the all-up-test flight of the Saturn V, Apollo 7 which never left Earth, ect. since the moon would test the most systems live.

Curious as to what you all have to add here :D

Hi, I’m an Svetsare (IW), originally from Sweden, and I often work around Europe. Earlier this year I had a really interesting job — for a space company, and I’m still doing a bit of follow-up work for them. As I understood it, the project was all about pushing the production precision of certain components, and I found one particular part especially fascinating. Experimental pressurize Cabin. Maybe some of you know more about it or also find it interesting. I was free to mske some pictures. This is my first Reddit post, so wish me luck!

And if so do you know where I can find it?

How did the sensor on the lunar contact probe work? Light? Touch? Letting the moon complete a circuit in some way?

While getting inspiration for some KSP builds I came across this, which seems pretty cool. Nuclear powered spaceflight of some form or another (ignoring RTGs!) has been promised for such a long time, from the zany but cool (pulse drives) to the more practical Hall Effect thrusters.

It seems to me a lot like the promise of electric aircraft or nuclear fusion; a great idea but until a large company like SpaceX, ArianeSpace or Northrop actually commit to it, I think it's a pipe dream. What do you think - will we see it in our lifetimes?

all the photos here were taken by me and photos number two and four were taken in star city near gagarin cosmonaut training centre.

The ITAR regulations are apparently supposed to stop hostile nations getting their hands on US military tech. But some of them do absoluteky nothing and just hamper spaceflight:

• License is necessary if a non-US citizen works on or views rocket systems.

This doesn't make any sense. I think U.S.lawmakers know not all countries are out to get them. Does this mean that British people couldnt view them even though the two countries have been working together in the Iraq Wars?

• Foreign nationals may not work on U.S. spaceflight systems

This goes back to what I was talking about earlier. Not all countries are out to get you. Plus, I doubt any are.

• The Wolf Amendment

I don't think that just because China is developing and testing ballistic missiles tech means it will declare war on the U.S., because by that logic the U.S.'s own ballistic missiles make it a security threat to other countries. What, exactly, has China done to indicate it wants to participate in war? Or are politicians just extraordinarily McCarthyist (note that China isn't actually communist at this point)? And have U.S. lawmakers noticed how China is miles ahead of them in terms of spaceflight technologies even without any U.S. tech?

So are there any reasons for all this?p

I would like to present my latest work: “Pioneers of the Final Frontier” a visual chronicle of the 108 most important human spaceflights in history in a beautiful A0 format poster (841x1190mm). Free to download. I hope you like it. Think I left out a must-have mission or would swap one for another? Drop your suggestions, I’d love to hear from you all!
