NASA’s VIPER Prototype Motors Through Moon-like Obstacle Course
Posted by Wise Technology in categories: computing, quantum physics, space travel
NASA’s Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) prototype recently endured the most realistic tests to-date of its ability to drive through the most difficult terrain during its mission to the Moon’s South Pole.
Quantum computers, devices that exploit quantum phenomena to perform computations, could eventually help tackle complex computational problems faster and more efficiently than classical computers. These devices are commonly based on basic units of information known as quantum bits, or qubits.

Combat Starships — and Faster Launch Concepts
Posted by Greg Allison in categories: habitats, space travel
DoD has already funded Starship Cargo concepts studies and is interested in a troop rocket! Will we have SpaceX Starship Troopers? I look into what DoD is interested in, why the one hour mission just is not going to happen, alternatives and a concept for a launch on demand system. Be sure to watch to the end to catch that fun concept!

Isro had in May this year successfully conducted a static fire test of the boosters that will power India’s maiden astronaut mission. While the four unnamed Indian Air Force officers continue to train for the mission, the ground qualification tests of launch vehicle propulsion stages have also been commenced and successfully progressing.
Being developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, the Gaganyaan crew module will be the first indigenous spacecraft to take Indian astronauts into space and return them safely to Earth.
