Breakthrough Starshot is a research and engineering project by the Breakthrough Initiatives to develop a proof-of-concept fleet of light sail interstellar probes named Starchip, [1] to be capable of making the journey to the Alpha Centauri star system 4.34 light-years away.
Breakthrough Enceladus is an astrobiology space probe mission concept to explore the possibility of life on Saturn's moon, Enceladus. [6] In September 2018, NASA signed a collaboration agreement with Breakthrough to jointly create the mission concept. [ 31 ]
Project Starlight is a research project of the University of California, Santa Barbara to develop a fleet of laser beam-propelled interstellar probes and sending them to a star neighboring the Solar System, potentially Alpha Centauri. The project aims to send organisms on board the probe.
Solar System space probes operational as of November 2024. This is a list of active space probes which have escaped Earth orbit. It includes lunar space probes, but does not include space probes orbiting at the Sun–Earth Lagrangian points (for these, see List of objects at Lagrangian points). A craft is deemed "active" if it is still able to ...
The spacecraft will be propelled by four μ10 solar electric ion engines, [2] as used by Hayabusa and Hayabusa2, but while its predecessors operated only up to three engines simultaneously, DESTINY + will use all four simultaneously [7] for a total thrust of 40 mN (specific impulse: 3000 seconds; acceleration: 83 μm/s 2; power: 1670 watts. [2 ...
For instance, the letter 'C' in the first column indicates that the whole line is a comment and should be ignored by the compiler. One particularly interesting feature of HAL/S is that it supports, in addition to a normal single line text format, an optional three-line input format in which three source code lines are used for each statement.
The following examples show natural language CSTOL commands and the lower-level spacecraft commands they are translated into, for a particular spacecraft. [5] The first two examples show two different CSTOL commands that are translated into the same spacecraft command, indicating that this spacecraft command takes different values as an argument.
