New Radiation Belt Discovered Around Earth Scientists have seen a new radiation belt around Earth, according to a study published in the journal Science. The belt, which is located about 11,900 to 13,900 miles (19,100 to 22,300 kilometers) above the planet's surface, was discovered by NASA's twin Van Allen Probes....
Chandrayaan-3 is a planned third lunar exploration mission by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It would consist of a lander and a rover similar to the Chandrayaan-2 but would not have an orbiter. Its propulsion module will behave like a communications relay satellite. The spacecraft is scheduled to be...
Redshift and blueshift are two phenomena that describe how the frequency of light changes when an object is moving relative to an observer. When an object is moving away from an observer, the light from the object is redshifted, which means that the wavelength of the light increases and the...
Deep space networking is the process of communicating with spacecraft that are beyond the orbit of Earth. This is a challenging task because the distance between Earth and these spacecraft can be vast, making it difficult to send and receive signals. The Deep Space Network (DSN) is a worldwide network...
