ISRO in Talks With Boeing, Blue Origin, Voyager For Space Partnerships

[ad_1] India's space agency ISRO is exploring joint collaborations with Boeing Co., Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin LLC and Voyager Space Holdings Inc., as an official visit by the head of NASA highlights the growing level of cooperation between the US and India in outer space. The potential partnerships could also involve Indian commercial entities, India's Department of Space said in a statement Wednesday. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson is visiting several locations in India this week, including Bengaluru-based facilities that are testing and integrating spacecraft for a joint US-Indian Earth-observing mission scheduled for launch in 2024. Nelson's visit underscores NASA's deepening space alliance with the Indian Space Research Organization, which this year notched several accomplishments ...

SpaceX’s Dragon craft docks with international space station

[ad_1] The Crew Dragon spacecraft launched by SpaceX yesterday successfully docked with the International Space Station as its crew of four astronauts began their six-month mission. The docking took place about 9:16 EST while the two spacecrafts were orbiting above Australia, SpaceX officials said in a streamed broadcast. Called Crew-7, this journey marks SpaceX's seventh operational human spaceflight mission to the space station under NASA's Commercial Crew Program. It's also the eleventh time SpaceX has launched humans into orbit. It comes as Boeing Co. — NASA's other Commercial Crew provider — works to get its long-delayed Starliner spacecraft ready to fly next year. Delays have raised concerns about NASA's goal of having multiple lifelines to the ISS. Led by NASA astronaut and com...

NASA reveals Asteroid 2023 GG approaching Earth at breakneck speed

[ad_1] Though most asteroids are found in a ring between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, called the asteroid belt, that doesn't mean they've never come close to Earth. In fact, some large space rocks have made their way towards Earth in the past and impacted the surface. Just yesterday, two asteroids, 110 feet and 77 feet wide respectively, had close calls with Earth.NASA has an eye on another asteroid which is set to make a close approach with the planet today. Asteroid 2023 GG detailsThe asteroid, named Asteroid 2023 GG will make its closest approach to Earth today, April 11. This space rock will make its closest approach to the planet at a distance of just 1.5 million kilometers, according to NASA. It is already travelling towards Earth at a breakneck speed of 38007 kilometers per hou...

Boeing CEO Sees Self-Flying Tech Coming to Commercial Aircraft

[ad_1] Boeing Co.'s chief executive officer says it's a matter of when — not if — self-flying planes will debut in commercial aviation. The planemaker's autonomous flight technology being developed for military applications will eventually appear on commercial aircraft in the future, Dave Calhoun said in a Bloomberg TV interview. “Autonomy is going to come to all of the airplanes eventually,” Calhoun said on the sidelines of an event commemorating the final delivery of its iconic 747 jumbo jet in Everett, Washington. “The future of autonomy is real for civil” aviation, he said. Boeing's next iconic design may stem from its partnership with NASA to test-fly a prototype aircraft with a new wing design that Calhoun said could yield as much as a 30% fuel efficiency improvement over ...

After flying everything from passengers to NASA shuttle, the Boeing 747 sails into history

[ad_1] Boeing draws curtain on the jumbo-jet era with final Boeing 747 delivery. The first and final 747 jumbo jet models both started with a handshake deal. Back in the mid 1960s, the leaders of Boeing Co. and PanAm came to an agreement that if the US planemaker pushed ahead with the audacious new design, the airline would in turn go ahead and buy the giant jetliner. That gentleman's agreement would kick-start one of the most successful programs in civil aviation, singlehandedly transforming the way the world flies and giving the Queen of the Skies, as the 747 came to be known, the undisputed reign over the world's flight paths for decades to come. No other airplane captured the public imagination quite like the hump-backed jumbo jet, nor illustrated the rewards that can flow ...

Boeing hints new Jet it’s testing with NASA could replace 737 Max

[ad_1] Boeing Co. is studying whether an innovative plane it’s developing with NASA could find a home in its lineup next decade, the company’s top executive said, offering a tantalizing glimpse into its product strategy. Boeing Co. is studying whether an innovative plane it's developing with NASA could find a home in its lineup next decade, the company's top executive said, offering a tantalizing glimpse into its product strategy. Later this decade, the US planemaker plans to fly a full-scale prototype of the single-aisle jet, whose size could make it an eventual successor to the 737 Max. Boeing and NASA have been working on a concept for nearly 15 years that reduces drag — and fuel burn — with extra-long, thin wings that are stabilized by diagonal struts attached to the bottom of ...

NASA, Boeing team up to develop lower-emissions aircraft

[ad_1] NASA will invest $425 million over seven years in the "Sustainable Flight Demonstrator" (SFD) project while Boeing and its partners will spend an estimated $725 million. The US space agency NASA is teaming up with aviation giant Boeing to develop a next-generation commercial aircraft that emits less carbon. NASA, whose purview also includes aeronautical research, will invest $425 million over seven years in the "" (SFD) project while Boeing and its partners will spend an estimated $725 million. The goal is to produce future commercial airliners that are "more fuel efficient, with benefits to the environment, the commercial aviation industry, and to passengers worldwide," NASA chief Bill Nelson said. "If we are successful, we may see these technol...
