Rotation and Interior Structure Experiment (RISE) is a radio science experiment onboard InSight Mars lander that will use the spacecraft communication system to provide precise measurements of Mars' rotation and wobble. RISE precisely tracks the location of the lander to measure how much Mars's axis wobbles as it orbits the Sun.
2015: The NASA-designed Hermes in the film The Martian was capable of space travel to Mars. 2018: A planetarium movie Mars 1001 shows a fictional mission to Mars employing a rotating spacecraft. Fallout 76 includes a ruined space station that has a rotating wheel on it in a location called The Crater.
Mars is rotating more quickly than it used to, according to data that NASA’s InSight lander collected on the red planet. ... Scientists used the Deep Space Network to beam signals to RISE on ...
Nautilus-X (Non-Atmospheric Universal Transport Intended for Lengthy United States Exploration) is a rotating wheel space station concept developed by engineers Mark Holderman and Edward Henderson of the Technology Applications Assessment Team of NASA.
The gravity of Mars is about 38% of Earth's gravity at the surface, [11] about 3.7 metres per second 2. [12] This can be simulated for short time by an aircraft following a flight profile that causes this type of acceleration. [13] This technique (using a variation on free-fall) has allowed the gait of people in Mars gravity to be studied. [13]
The instrument successfully generated oxygen for more than two years from Mars’ carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere. The first-of-its-kind experiment has concluded, having exceeded NASA’s expectations.
A City on Mars is a counterbalance to the growing optimism over space exploration.
Stanford torus (the proposed 10,000 people habitat described in the 1975 Summer Study, to be distinguished from other rotating wheel space station designs) consists of a torus, or doughnut-shaped ring, that is 1.8 km in diameter and rotates once per minute to provide between 0.9 g and 1.0 g of artificial gravity on the inside of the outer ring via centrifugal force.
