Cislunar Explorers is a pair of spacecraft that will show the viability of water electrolysis propulsion and interplanetary optical navigation to orbit the Moon. [2] Both spacecraft will launch mated together as two L-shaped 3U CubeSats, which fit together as a 6U CubeSat of about 10 cm × 20 cm × 30 cm.
Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Operations (DRACO) is a DARPA program to demonstrate a working nuclear thermal rocket in space. TBD [19] Vulcan Centaur Cape Canaveral, SLC‑41 [20] NROL-56: TBA: NRO: Classified NRO payload. TBD [19] Vulcan Centaur Vandenberg, SLC‑3E [20] NROL-73: TBA: NRO: Classified NRO payload.

The RL10 was first tested on the ground in 1959, at Pratt & Whitney's Florida Research and Development Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. [6] [7] The first successful flight took place on November 27, 1963. [8] [9] For that launch, two RL10A-3 engines powered the Centaur upper stage of an Atlas launch vehicle. The launch was used to conduct a ...
In May 1946, the U.S. Air Force launched the Nuclear Energy for Propulsion of Aircraft (NEPA) project to explore the potential of nuclear energy for powering aircraft. [13] [14] This initiative led to a collaborative effort of the Air Force and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) known as the Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion (ANP) program, aimed at developing nuclear propulsion systems for ...
The Vikings were already at first-and-goal from the 1-yard thanks to the unnecessary roughness call, so the second penalty cost the Titans half a yard. Callahan got his money's worth with his rant ...
The first lunar samples from the moon’s far side differ in some interesting ways from those collected from the near side, according to two new studies.
The Space Force's USSF-51 launch in late 2022 was be the first national security classified mission, but in May 2021 the spacecraft was reassigned to an Atlas V to "mitigate schedule risk associated with Vulcan Centaur non-recurring design validation". [67] For similar reasons, the Kuiper Systems prototype flight was moved to an Atlas V rocket ...
As GLP-1 weight-loss injectables grow in popularity, some people are wondering if they can skip the drugs — which impact satiety — to indulge in holiday meals
