Ruimtevaart, foto's en missies

quote:

ps is het niet mogelijk ( Lees; = er interresse) om een ruimte te creeren binnen WFL waar over ruimte/ ruimtevaart/ etc geouwehoerd kan worden zonder dat het vervalt in een "ik zag een ufo" topic???

dus mooie pics van de maanlandingen/ grootste russiche rakketten/ Werner von Braun + toekomst muziek... (laatste niet letterlijk dus)

"Toekomst Muziek", van concepten voor nieuwe missie, Bush's Maan/ Mars plan (of ESA's Aurora project), en ruimte exploratie middelen.


Er zijn wel een aantal topics in het verleden geweest en sommige lopen nog steeds, hierbij de links:
[CENTRAAL} MARS - de missies [DEEL 4] <-- loopt nog steeds!
-deze lopen niet meer...-
Rosetta met succes gelanceerd.
Lancering André Kuypers
Met André Kuipers de ruimte in..
Te weinig water op de maan voor plan Bush
Astronauten castreren voor lange missies?
NASA's X-43A = SUCCES!!!

Het is dus niet gewenst om hier dingen te posten als: "ik-zag-een-ufo", "maanlandingen-zijn-gefaked", "duurt-een-lichtjaar-langer-dan-'n-gewoon-jaar?" daarvoor is TRU in het leven geroepen.

daarnaast gebruik:
GOOGLE / wikipedia ze werken, echt waar...
en het is niet erg als dit een soort slowchat wordt, erger wordt het waarneer mensen van TRU gevraagd moeten worden om dit topic lopende te houden... :') maar blijft gerust vragen niemand is een expert op alles...

En dan om te beginnen: "Good Old Days"

Wat kan je nog meer vertellen over de V-serie raketten

quote:

The V-2 rocket was an early ballistic missile used by Germany during the latter stages of World War II against mostly British and Belgian targets

As early as 1927 members of the German Rocket Society had started experimenting with liquid-fueled rockets. By 1932 the Reichswehr started taking notice of their developments for potential long-range artillery use, and a team led by General Walter Dornberger was shown a test vehicle designed and flown by Wernher von Braun. Although the rocket was of limited ability, Dornberger saw Von Braun's genius and pushed for him to join the military.

Von Braun did so, as eventually did most of the other members of the society. In December 1934 Von Braun scored another success with the flight of the A2 rocket, a small model powered by ethanol and liquid oxygen, with work on the design continuing in an attempt to improve reliability.
[...]
The third rocket (a A4 -later V2- type which sucseeded the A5 which was based upon the A3...), launched on October 3, 1942, changed things by following its trajectory perfectly. It landed 193 km away, and became the first man-made object to enter space. (By the modern international definition, the first object to enter space was a V2 launched in the U.S. on May 10, 1946.)

NASA Genesis Spacecraft On Final Lap Toward Home

the way home

Pasadena CA (SPX) May 06, 2004
NASA's Genesis spacecraft flew past Earth on Saturday in a loop that puts it on track for home ­ and a dramatic mid-air recovery Sept. 8. The Genesis mission was launched in August of 2001 to capture samples from the storehouse of 99-percent of all the material in our solar system ­ the Sun.

SPACE TRAVEL
A New 'Constellation' At NASA
by Frank Sietzen
Washington (UPI) May 11, 2004

NASA's headquarters in Washington, D.C., are now bustling with activity in the wake of President George W. Bush's plan, announced last Jan. 14, to revitalize the U.S. space program. Just as Project Apollo encompassed the attempt to reach the moon in the 1960s, the agency has named its new effort.

quote:

As Constellation's planners go about their early tasks, they have a shiny new logo to inspire them. Three spheres --Earth, the moon and Mars -- are arrayed in sequence, with the streak of a rocket passing through each. A Latin inscription on the emblem says "Audentes Fortuna Juvat," which, translated into English, says "Fortune Favors the Bold."

ROCKET SCIENCE
Spaceship Soars To 212,000 Feet


only 117,000 feet to go
Mojave CA (UPI) May 14, 2004
A privately-built manned spacecraft has reached a record altitude of 212,000 feet over California on one of its final tests before officially entering space.
The craft, called SpaceShipOne, was built by aerospace pioneer Burt Rutan, who hopes to win the Ansari X-Prize of $10 million for the first private flight into space.

To win the X-Prize, the craft has to reach an altitude of 329,000 feet twice within three weeks. Twenty-five other teams across the world are competing for the prize.

Flying over the Mojave Desert, SpaceShipOne and its carrier aircraft White Knight moved a step closer to claiming the prize when pilot Mike Melvill took the vehicle closer to space than any non-governmental craft has been -- an altitude of 212,000 feet.

Brisbane (SPX) May 18, 2004
The world's fastest air-breathing engine will fly in Australia in 2005 in a collaborative two-nation experiment that is expected to provide a major boost to the fledgling scramjet technology.
Australian and U.S. defence interests have signed a $4.6 million contract to conduct a controlled scramjet experiment at Mach 10, or about 11,000km an hour, at Woomera, South Australia, possibly in the second half of next year.

Space Exploration Alliance Plans 'Moon-Mars Blitz' On Capitol Hill
Washington (SPX) May 18, 2004
Twelve leaders of the Space Exploration Alliance announced today that their organizations would join in launching a "Moon-Mars Blitz" on Capitol Hill July 11-13. During this event, the organizations will bring their members to Washington to visit as many congressional members and staff as possible with a single message: "Fund NASA's requests for FY 2005 for starting the new Moon, Mars, and Beyond initiative."
The Space Exploration Alliance comprises leading space advocacy groups, industry associations and space policy organizations. It was formed to promote the new Vision for Space Exploration. The collaboration for the Moon-Mars Blitz is the opening shot illustrating the kind of campaigns that SEA members will be undertaking to help insure passage of the budget required to launch the new space initiative.
