"Houston, we have a problem!". Toward the end of our USA trip, we visited the NASA Space Center in Houston, Texas, which offers several displays of NASA's space programs. This is also the location of the Apollo Mission Control Center. Meaning that the iconic message of the commander of the troubled Apollo XIII mission of 1970 ("Houston, we have a problem!") was addressed to this very location. The dimensions of these space artifacts are truly impressing. Also the effort made to put equipment and people into space. 1-2: Adapted Boeing 747 carrying a space shuttle. This was needed to test the re-entry of the shuttles into the atmosphere, and to transport shuttles that landed somewhere else back to Florida for the next start. 3-5: A basically complete Saturn V rocket, the three-staged rocket design used to put the Apollo Missions into space and on the Moon. 6. Apollo Mission Control Center 7. Lunar Rover, used in the Apollo 15-17 Missions to extend the exploration range on the Moon 8. The Command Module that brought back to Earth the crew of the Apollo 17. 9. Two rockets of NASA programs prior to the Apollo missions (1960s) 10.

NASA has greenlit three space firms to craft the next-gen lunar rover, with a single design to be chosen for space. The selected trio will enter a year-long feasibility phase followed by a design review and competitive proposals. Specs like range and battery tech are kept confidential, but the rover must last 10 years and carry two astronauts. This vehicle will aid in scientific exploration, sample collection, and extended travel on the moon's surface. Remote operation capability will allow for continuous exploration even when astronauts are not present.

🔥 Você já imaginou dirigir na Lua? 🔥 No dia 19 de abril de 1972, a missão Apollo 16 estava em pleno andamento, com os astronautas John W. Young e Charles M. Duke se preparando para descer à superfície lunar nas montanhas Descartes. Este foi o quinto pouso na Lua e notável pelo uso do Lunar Rover, um veículo elétrico que permitiu aos astronautas explorar muito além do módulo lunar. Eles estabeleceram um recorde de velocidade lunar, alcançando 17 km/h, enquanto coletavam amostras e realizavam experimentos científicos. E se a Apollo 16 tivesse enfrentado desafios inesperados? 🤔 Imagina as histórias de adaptação e engenhosidade a centenas de milhares de quilômetros da Terra! A missão não apenas avançou nosso entendimento da Lua, mas também destacou o incrível potencial humano para exploração espacial. #história #history #tempo #curiosidade #mundocurioso #Apollo16 #MissãoLunar #Lua #ExploraçãoEspacial #Astronautas #JohnWYoung #CharlesMDuke #DescartesHighlands #LunarRover #1972 #19DeAbril #Espaço #TecnologiaEspacial #Ciência #Inovação #ViagemEspacial #ESe #HistóriaAlternativa #FatosHistóricos #DescobertasCientíficas #AventuraEspacial #ExploradoresDaLua #FronteirasFinais #PioneirosEspaciais #LegadoEspacial

It’s official: the first non-American to walk on the moon will be Japanese 🇯🇵. The announcement was made as part of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s visit to the US . The agreement signed between NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and his Japanese counterpart didn’t specify exactly which mission this would occur on (i.e. will it be Artemis 3, or a later one?) 🚀 . In exchange, Japan is building a pressurized lunar rover for the Artemis program, way more capable than the open Apollo lunar rover. JAXA and Toyota have been collaborating since 2019 on the new vehicle, which will leverage Toyota’s fuel cell technology 🔋🌖 . #MoonMission #SpaceExploration #JapanInSpace #NASA #JAXA #ArtemisProgram #SpaceCollaboration #FumioKishida #BillNelson #LunarRover #ToyotaTechnology #FuelCell #SpaceTechnology #GlobalSpaceMission #SpaceAgreement #SpaceDiplomacy #SpaceDiscovery #MoonExploration #SpaceRace #SpaceInnovation #InternationalSpaceCollaboration #JapaneseInnovation #SpaceHistory #LunarExploration #SpaceDiscovery #SpaceNews #FutureInSpace #MoonLanding #SpaceFuture #MoonRover

NASA has picked the 3 companies moving forward for the Artemis lunar terrain vehicle! The winners were Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost, and Venturi Astrolab, along with their various corporate partners 🌖 . The LTV will feature on Artemis 5, which will likely be in the early 2030s. Notably, unlike the Apollo lunar rovers, these modern ones will be both crew driven as well as autonomously controlled from Earth, after the astronauts have departed 👨🏻‍🚀 . The overall LTV contract is worth $4.6B over 15 years, but this announcement is just a few small task orders to kick off engineering while maintaining competition. Ultimately, it’ll be whittled down to a single company 🚀 . #NASA #Artemis #LunarVehicle #IntuitiveMachines #LunarOutpost #VenturiAstrolab #SpaceExploration #MoonMission #Artemis5 #SpaceTech #FutureTech #SpaceEngineering #LunarExploration #SpaceRace #MoonLanding #SpaceIndustry #NASAContract #LunarRover #SpaceInnovation #Astronauts #SpaceTravel #ExplorationTech #Engineering #Competition #SpaceScience #SpaceMission #MoonBase #FutureSpace #TechNews

Set to launch later this year, @NASA’s first ever lunar rover, Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER), is nearly complete, with all flight instruments installed. Use the link in our bio to #SendYourName on the rover before Friday, March 15.⁣ ⁣ VIPER will explore Mons Mouton, a flat-topped mountain on the Moon’s South Pole. On its 100-day mission, the rover will search for ice and other resources, helping us prepare for future #Artemis missions on the lunar surface.⁣ ⁣ Image description: An image of VIPER mission team members at work assembling the lunar rover in a clean room.

We’re in! The #umdspacesystemlab was accepted into the NASA 2024 Big Idea challenge, where participants are tasked with designing an inflatable system for lunar operations. We proposed AIRWHEEL: Auxiliary Inflatable Wheels For Lunar Rovers. AIRWHEEL consists of an inflatable wheel situated inside the hub of an outer rigid wheel. If a rover gets stuck in a loose section of regolith, it can inflate the inflatable wheels to help get itself out! To learn more, see our proposal video (Made by our own Charlie Hanner!): - (see the link in our bio or use the link below) - https://youtu.be/H_6Q6k8-tE0?si=-n3FPNR2J7pe2m46 #marylandroboticscenter #umdaerospace #nasa #nasabigideachallenge #nasabigideachallenge2024 #spaceexploration #lunarrover

Construction and testing are complete on the CADRE rovers, which will map the lunar surface together as a tech demo to show the promise of multirobot missions. A trio of small rovers that will explore the Moon in sync with one another are rolling toward launch. #CADRE #LunarRover #MoonRover #MoonBoundRover #NASA https://cerebral-overload.com/?p=105837

Spreading curiosity!!! 👨‍🏫 Members of Project Airavata, including @ak_27_atharv and @_sidharth_devidas_ , along with Aniket Sonawane, hosted a STEM workshop on February 27th, 2024, for students in grades 6th-10th in Airway Public School🚀 We were amazed by the inquisitive and advanced questions posed by the students regarding the cosmos and astronomy. Answering these questions sparked new insights for us as well. These workshops serve as a morale booster, encouraging us to organize more STEM engagement sessions. 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 Keep exploring the universe! 🌌 #STEM #Workshop #Curiosity #FutureLeaders #nasa #isro #space #cosmos #seds #sedscelestia #celestia #sedsindia #bits #bitspilani #bitsgoa #moon #lunar #herc #nasaherc #lunarrover #rover #teaching #humanrover #artemis #nasaartemis
