NASA preparing nuclear-powered drone for mission to Saturn’s moon Titan

[ad_1] Not just the Moon, but NASA has been sending missions to asteroids, other planets, and even other moons in the solar system as of late. The US space agency recently launched the Psyche mission to a metal-rich asteroid, while the collected samples from the Bennu asteroid also returned to Earth last month. It has also been working on the Artemis program, NASA's first manned lunar mission since Apollo 17. However, perhaps the most ambitious mission is the Dragonfly, the first-ever mission to the surface of another ocean world. As part of it, NASA will send a spacecraft to Titan, Jupiter's largest moon.In preparation for the ambitious journey, NASA is developing a nuclear-powered, car-sized drone that will help study the surface of Titan as well as collect samples from it. NASA Drago...

NASA could look for ALIEN LIFE on Saturn’s moon without even putting a foot on it

[ad_1] Scientists have found an ingenious way for NASA to find alien life on Enceladus, one of the moons of Saturn which would be done without even landing on the celestial sphere. Are there aliens out there? The question of whether we are alone in this world has pushed the scientific community to devoting ever greater resources on the answer. We have searched in far away galaxies looking for planets which are similar to Earth in composition and are placed in similar orbits in their solar system. However, NASA now believes that the answer to this question might be much closer to home than previously thought. Enceladus, one of the 83 moons of Saturn is believed to host alien life within itself and very soon the American space agency will launch its mission to explore its possibility. B...

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 23 December 2022: Stunning Saturn Rings captured by NASA spacecraft

[ad_1] NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day is a mesmerizing snapshot of Saturn captured by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 23 December 2022: The Outer Solar System consists of planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The planets in the Outer Solar System take considerably longer to complete one trip around the Sun. Jupiter, also called the Gas Giant, takes 4,333 days to complete one trip around the Sun. Saturn takes 10,759 to complete one trip around the Sun. Among all the outer planets, Saturn is a special one as it has stunning rings around it and has over 83 moons revolving around it! The planet is a massive ball made mostly of hydrogen and helium.NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day is a stunning snapshot of Saturn's Rings captured by NASA's Cassini...

NASA Ingenuity Helicopter paves the way for others to explore Mars

[ad_1] The outstanding performance by the NASA Ingenuity has given the confidence to scientists to build more space helicopters that will explore Mars and other areas of the solar system. The NASA Perseverance Rover has been leading a path-breaking exploration of the surface of Mars. However, the Mars rover also has a partner in crime that has been flying around mapping the vast area of the red planet. It is called the Ingenuity helicopter and it has been making waves in the astronomy community for its efficiency and performance. Even NASA scientists have said that the space helicopter has surpassed their expectations by a significant margin. While it was an experiment to begin with, the successful run of course by NASA Ingenuity can now lead to a fleet of similar space aircrafts that...
