NASA Astronauts that are on a long duration spaceflight during early voting and on election day will still need to vote. So how can a NASA astronaut floating 254 miles above the surface of the Earth vote from the International Space Station? Find out how in this bonus episode of Two Minute Tuesday!#NASA #Election2020 #olhzn2MTConnect [...]
On NASA Space Shuttle flight STS-41C, NASA astronaut George Nelson, had a close call while wearing NASA's Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) which was a self contained rocket pack that astronauts could wear on their EVA suit backpacks to perform untethered EVA spacewalks. While trying to retrieve a broken satellite, the astronaut and Mission Control struggled [...]
The primary payload aboard this mission includes nine of the latest generation SuperDove satellites from Planet, the operator of the world’s largest constellation of Earth-imaging satellites. Each of the nine SuperDoves in Flock 4e’ will be integrated with and deployed from Rocket Lab’s Maxwell dispensers, the industry’s lightest CubeSat dispenser in its class. Planet’s constellation [...]
The US Space Shuttle was an iconic spacecraft and a workhorse for the US space program, but did you know that the Soviet Union also built their own Space Shuttle type spacecraft known as the Buran. Russia and the Soviet Union planned an entire fleet of Buran class orbiters that would fly attached to their [...]
The 14th operational batch of Starlink satellites (15th overall) will lift off from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on a Falcon 9 rocket. In the weeks following deployment the Starlink satellites will use onboard ion thrusters to reach their operational altitude of 550 km. This is the fifth batch of Starlink [...]

Shortly after the launch of the Apollo 12 mission, lightning struck the Apollo Saturn V rocket causing major electrical malfunctions and panic amongst the astronauts and engineers, jeopardizing the mission. Fortunately, a steely eyed missile man named John Aaron was able to call out the famous SCE to AUX command allowing the on board astronauts [...]
The 13th operational batch of Starlink satellites (14th overall) will lift off from LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center, Florida on a Falcon 9 rocket. In the weeks following deployment the Starlink satellites will use onboard ion thrusters to reach their operational altitude of 550 km. This is the fourth batch of Starlink satellites which all [...]
Mercury-Redstone 1 (MR-1) was the tenth Mercury Program test flight and the first Mercury-Redstone uncrewed flight test. It was the first attempt to launch a Mercury spacecraft with the Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle. Intended to be an uncrewed sub-orbital spaceflight, it was launched on November 21, 1960 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The launch [...]
