The drone had a wingspan roughly the same as a Boeing 737, [1] but weighed only 880 pounds (400 kg). [3] Aquila was of flying wing configuration, the upper surface of the wing being covered in solar cells to power the aircraft's four electric motors; batteries, composing half the aircraft's weight, provided power storage for night flight. [1]
The wing would include a MSFN control room and the necessary interface equipment to accomplish the following: 1. Permit tracking and two-way data transfer with either spacecraft during lunar operations. 2. Permit tracking and two-way data transfer with the combined spacecraft during the flight to the Moon 3.
The second test flight, Boeing Orbital Flight Test 2, occurred successfully in May 2022. [3] [4] [5] Pending completion of its demonstration flights, Boeing is contracted to supply six operational flights to the ISS. [6] The first group of astronauts was announced on August 3, 2018. [7] The first Starliner crewed flight test launched on June 5 ...
RLV-TD has mass of 1.75 tonnes, wingspan of 3.6 meters and overall length of 6.5 meters (excluding the rocket). The vehicle had 600 heat-resistant tiles on its undercarriage and it features delta wings and angled tail fins. [25] [26] Total cost of the project was ₹ 95 crore (equivalent to ₹ 137 crore or US$15.8 million in 2023).
The more complex requirements of later Gemini and Apollo flights forced control operations to move to a larger facility located in Houston, Texas, but the MCC continued to be used for training and meeting space. On June 1, 1967, the Center became a historic stop for public tours, and continued this function through the mid-1990s.
Skylon has its origins within a previous space development programme for an envisioned single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spaceplane, known as HOTOL. [14] In 1982, when work commenced on the HOTOL by several British companies, there was significant international interest to develop and produce viable reusable launch systems, perhaps the most high-profile of these being the NASA-operated Space Shuttle.
Project Morpheus was a NASA project that began in 2010 to develop a vertical takeoff and vertical landing test vehicle called the Morpheus Lander.It is intended to demonstrate a new nontoxic spacecraft propellant system (methane and oxygen) and an autonomous landing and hazard detection technology.
