The record for most time in space is held by Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, who has spent 1,111 days in space over five missions. He broke the record of Gennady Padalka on 4 February 2024 at 07:30:08 UTC during his fifth spaceflight aboard Soyuz MS-24 / 25 for a one year long-duration mission on the ISS . [ 21 ]
The second bounce reached a height of about 11 feet (3.4 meters). On the third impact with the surface – from the initial altitude of 10 feet (3 meters), and velocity of zero, which was below the planned altitude of 14 feet (4.3 meters), and very slowly descending – Surveyor 3 settled down to a soft landing as intended.
Falcon Heavy, built from three Falcon 9 boosters, first flew in 2018 after a more than decade-long development process. As of October 2024, the company's Falcon 9 rockets have landed and flown again more than 330 times, reaching 1–2 launches a week.
Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams crewed Boeing’s first astronaut flight to the space station, taking off on 5 June 2024 for an 8-day mission that has now extended to beyond eight months.
First crewed space flight lasting over twenty four hours by Gherman Titov, who is also the first to suffer from space sickness. USSR Vostok 2: 7 March 1962: First orbital solar observatory. USA (NASA) OSO-1: 26 April 1962: First spacecraft to impact the far side of the Moon. USA (NASA) Ranger 4 [16] 11 August 1962: First dual crewed spaceflight.
Delta-v is a scalar quantity dependent only on the desired trajectory and not on the mass of the space vehicle. For example, although more fuel is needed to transfer a heavier communication satellite from low Earth orbit to geosynchronous orbit than for a lighter one, the delta-v required is the same.
Then at Morehouse College, Moses – a physics and engineer major – used math to calculate that he needed to take exactly 13 steps between hurdles to maximize efficiency in the 400-meter hurdles.
STS-9 (also referred to Spacelab 1) [1] was the ninth NASA Space Shuttle mission and the sixth mission of the Space Shuttle Columbia. Launched on November 28, 1983, the ten-day mission carried the first Spacelab laboratory module into orbit.
