Airglow was designed with an all-flying rudder and elevator for yaw and pitch, plus rotating wing tips for lateral stability. The aircraft employs a simple fly-by-wire control system based on lightweight control servos more normally found on radio controlled model aircraft.
A Mars aircraft is a vehicle capable of sustaining powered flight in the atmosphere of Mars. So far, the Mars helicopter Ingenuity is the only aircraft [ 2 ] [ 3 ] ever to fly on Mars , completing 72 successful flights covering 17.242 km (10.714 mi) in 2 hours, 8 minutes and 48 seconds of flight time.

Airglow (also called nightglow) is a faint emission of light by a planetary atmosphere. In the case of Earth's atmosphere , this optical phenomenon causes the night sky never to be completely dark, even after the effects of starlight and diffused sunlight from the far side are removed.
The Mini-TES was originally developed by Raytheon for the Department of Geological Sciences at Arizona State University. The Mini-TES is a miniaturized version of Raytheon's Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) TES, built by Arizona State University and Raytheon SAS’ Santa Barbara Remote Sensing. The MGS TES data helped scientists choose landing sites ...
Mars retrograde is as confused as it is confusing. It’s unmooring and can bring waves of utterly unexpected events. You probably don’t need a recap, but let’s take a look at some of what’s ...
In the early 1970s, NASA engineer Dale Reed was investigating methods for sampling the atmosphere at very high altitudes, up to 21 kilometers (70,000 feet). NASA's studies into supersonic transport jets had led to questions about their possible impact on the upper atmosphere, and Reed designed a series of "Mini-Sniffer" drones to take air samples at high altitudes.
Launch Pad 0 (LP-0), also known as Launch Complex 0 (LC-0), [2] or Launch Area 0 (LA-0), [3] is a launch complex at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) on Wallops Island, Virginia, in the United States. [2] MARS is located right next to the NASA Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), which had run the launch complex until 2003. [4]
Thrift Store Shopping and Sustainability. For Gen Z, thrifting is life. The last time shopping for used, vintage clothes and items was this hot was in the 1990’s. And think back to the 80s, when ...
