2018年7月30日 · When a spacecraft built for humans ventures into deep space, it requires an array of features to keep it and a crew inside safe. Both distance and duration demand that spacecraft must have systems that can reliably operate far from home, be capable of keeping astronauts alive in case of emergencies and still be light enough that a rocket can ...

NASA's Deep Space Network has variously used criteria of 16,000–32,000 km (9,900–19,900 mi) from Earth. Physical exploration of space is conducted both by human spaceflights (deep-space astronautics) and by robotic spacecraft.

While maintaining American leadership in human and robotic lunar exploration NASA will build a global alliance to explore deep space as one. NASA and its partners will explore more of the Moon than ever before with highly trained astronauts and advanced robotics.

2019年9月10日 · Interstellar space travel is a real pain in the neck. If you're sufficiently patient, then we've already achieved interstellar exploration status. We have several spacecraft on escape...

2024年12月6日 · NASA performed key integrated testing of the Orion spacecraft that will send four astronauts around the Moon and bring them home, including testing inside an altitude chamber simulating the vacuum conditions of deep space.

Deep space exploration is the branch of astronomy, astronautics and space technology that is involved with the exploration of distant regions of outer space. [49] Physical exploration of space is conducted both by human spaceflights (deep-space astronautics) and by robotic spacecraft.

Given more affordable space access, it is time to consider potential deep space developments, including the issues, potential goals, technologies, solution spaces, and possible ways forward.

2021年4月22日 · During the next nine months, the team will build a power system and radiation models that assess the power needs of deep space missions like a Kuiper belt object flyby and a mission to the solar gravity focal point.

2015年11月3日 · Ion propulsion, long dreamed of in science fiction, is now used to send probes and spacecraft on long journeys through space. NASA first began researching ion propulsion in the 1950’s.

The Deep Space Transport (DST), also called Mars Transit Vehicle, [6] is a crewed interplanetary spacecraft concept by NASA to support science exploration missions to Mars of up to 1,000 days. [4] [2] [7] It would be composed of two elements: an …
