The lab holds several world records for the world's strongest magnets, including highest magnetic field of 45.5 Tesla. [3] For nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments, its 33-short-ton (29-long-ton; 30 t) series connected hybrid (SCH) magnet broke the record during a series of tests conducted by MagLab engineers and scientists on 15 ...
Artificial gravity space station. 1969 NASA concept. A drawback is that the astronauts would be moving between higher gravity near the ends and lower gravity near the center. In the context of a rotating space station, it is the radial force provided by the spacecraft's hull that acts as centripetal force.
During this period, no commercial space launches were available to private operators, and no private organization was able to offer space launches. In the 1980s, the European Space Agency created Arianespace , the world's first commercial space transportation company, and, following the Challenger disaster , the American government deregulated ...

Here are the US's biggest moments in space this year and the missions that didn't go so well. This was a big year for space in the US with many historic firsts . SpaceX caught a rocket in mid-air.
Magnetometers for non-space use evolved from the 19th to mid-20th centuries, and were first employed in spaceflight by Sputnik 3 in 1958. A main constraint on magnetometers in space is the availability of power and mass. Magnetometers fall into 3 major categories: the fluxgate type, search coil and the ionized vapor magnetometers.
Bagger 288 (Excavator 288), previously known as the MAN TAKRAF RB288 [2] built by the German company Krupp for the energy and mining firm Rheinbraun, is a bucket-wheel excavator or mobile strip mining machine. When its construction was completed in 1978, Bagger 288 superseded Big Muskie as the heaviest land vehicle in the world, at 13,500 tons. [3]
