SpaceX successfully completed static fire engine tests of the Crew Dragon spacecraft.

                                               
On 13 November SpaceX successfully completed a series of static fire engine tests of the Crew Dragon spacecraft, a test we know of as these Flight Abort Tests. Trials of the Crew Dragon's Superdraco Thrusters at 3pm  Happened.

SpaceX reported this by tweeting that the "full-term" static-fire testing of the launch escape system has been completed, with both SpaceX and NASA reviewing the data.  Static-fire testing was conducted at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, NASA said in its statement, that eight Superdreco engines fired for about nine seconds.  Earlier engines of SpaceX's Landing Zone 1 were tested, and those engines were fired, firing two of the 16 smaller Draco thrusters twice and each time for a second. Draco thrusters are used for on-orbit maneuver and approach control, and will also be used for re-orientation during some in-flight launch escapes. SpaceX has designed the SuperDraco's engines to accelerate, so that the F9 can be taken away from the launch vehicle in an emergency after lift.

Immediately after the SuperDraco engine was shut down, the thrusters' protective flaps closed, two Dracos thrusters fired, those two Dracos thrusters fired to emulate. And all eight SuperDraco flaps closed.The full sequence, from the SuperDraco startup to the flap closure, lasted about 70 seconds.Earlier, on April 20, SpaceX was preparing for a similar static-fire test, with another crew dragon spacecraft that first flew the Demo-1 from the International Space Station without a mission in March.During the "Anomaly", the spacecraft was completely destroyed. In July, NASA and SpaceX announced, the failure was linked to a leaking incident to the SuperDraco propulsion system that allowed nitrogen tetroxide oxide into the helium tube when unexpected shock caused by a shock of liquid propellant in a high-flow helium pressure system Resulted in a titanium ignition incident, resulting in an explosion.The Investigation Team, consisting of SpaceX and NASA personnel, determined that a titanium ignition incident occurred unexpectedly, resulting in an explosion.SpaceX now redesigned the components of the system, eliminating the possibility of slugs entering those high-flow pressure systems.

In the triple-star system, KOI-5Ab is seen orbiting the primary star...

  KOI-5Ab continues to be a topic of discussion for researchers, as koi-5Ab has been seen orbiting the primary Star, confirming it has also been announced.  koi-5ab revolves around the primary star, it was thought to be a planet half the size of Saturn in a planetary system, and was the only other planet candidate to be detected by the KOI-5Ab mission. Kepler mission operations were initiated by NASA in 2009, by the end of spacecraft operations in 2018, the Kepler spacecraft had discovered 2,394 exoplanets, or planets orbiting stars beyond our sun, and about 2,366 exoplanets such  There are also those, which are still to be confirmed. David Ciardi, chief scientist at NASA's Exoplanet Science Institute, says the KOI-5AB was abandoned, because it was complicated, and we had thousands of candidates, and we were learning something new every day from Kepler, so that the KOI  Mostly forgot to -5. KOI-5Ab is part of the Triple Star system, where KOI-5 is a group of three st...

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope will be closed.

NASA briefly informed that the Spitzer Space Telescope will be permanently discontinued on January 30, 2020. After about 16 years of discovering the universe in light energy.  And by that time, the space shuttle has been working for more than 11 years beyond its prime mission, Spitzer examines the universe's various objects in infrared light.  It was in 2003 through the rocket that the American Space Research Organization NASA entered the space and entered the orbit around the Earth.  Spitzer rotates the sun on a path similar to that of the Earth but it runs a bit slower.  Today it is about 158 ​​million miles (254 million kilometers) away from our planet - more than 600 times the distance between Earth and Moon.  The spacing of Spitzer's orbit curve means that when the spacecraft indicates its fixed antenna on the earth to download data or receive commands, its solar panels tend to lean away from the sun.  During those periods, to operate the space shut...

SpaceX is launching its next dragon spacecraft.

SpaceX is preparing for its next mission, very soon Spacex will launch the Dragon Spacecraft with its Falcon 9 Rocket.   SpaceX is the 18th commercial reproduction service mission, dragon spacecraft will be loaded with dozens of experiments made in space.  Launch date: Sunday, July 21, 2019 at 7:35 pm  International Space Station (ISS) us  The National Laboratory SpaceX's dragon is giving a finalization to more than two dozen payloads for launch in a circular circular laboratory.  Many of these payloads are aimed at improving human health on the earth, many of which are focused on drug development.  In addition, a series of payloads from identified private sector partners will be launched on this mission.  More than 40 student experiments and demonstrations have been included on the 18th Commercial Recepti Services Mission (CRS-18) of SpaceX.  One part of ISS American National Laboratory's goal is to encourage and engage next generation scientists.                          ...
