VASIMR Flux Probe
Plasma ion flux instrumentation being put to use in the exhaust plume of the Ad Astra Rocket Company’s VASIMR VX-100 plasma rocket. Additional plasma is created along magnetic field lines intercepting the collectors’ surface as secondary electrons are flung back upstream. Video Rating: 3 / 5

Q&A: Can a fusion drive engine be made from a ion-drive tuned to emit 500 keV protons and a supply of 11-Boron?
Question by : Can a fusion drive engine be made from a ion-drive tuned to emit 500 keV protons and a supply of 11-Boron? For rocket propulsion. The alpha particles in the product could be used to generate electric power, too. Best answer: Answer by Search first before you ask itNo. But a fusion reactor […]
Dawn Journey Above Vesta Asteroid 2011 NASA JPL 2min 720HD
video for embedding at scitech.quickfound.net JPL story: www.jpl.nasa.gov PASADENA, Calif. – A new video from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft takes us on a flyover journey above the surface of the giant asteroid Vesta. The data obtained by Dawn’s framing camera, used to produce the visualizations, will help scientists determine the processes that formed Vesta’s striking features. […]

Q&A: ion drive and vasimr rockets?
Question by Random Questions: ion drive and vasimr rockets? I fully understand how each of these systems operates and I don’t want to get into detail about it, but I wish to know some other information about them. The first is i know that they could travel longer than a conventional rocket but are they […]

ENGINEERING HELP NEEDED?
by PhOtOnQuAnTiQuE Question by Cynthia Gomez: ENGINEERING HELP NEEDED? solar sails—large sheets of material that would work by reflecting photons. Since the momentum of the photon would be reversed, an impulse would be exerted on it by the solar sail, and—by Newton’s Third Law—an impulse would also be exerted on the sail, providing a force. […]
Is it possible to leave orbit without going extremely fast?
by FlyingSinger Question by Joseph: Is it possible to leave orbit without going extremely fast? I was curious if it was possible to engineer a plane/shuttle hybrid that could take off from a runway and then switch to non-chemical fuels when it reached a certain altitude. (VASIMR or others)? Basically, is it possible to leave […]

Spacecraft NASA Is Orbiting Massive Asteroid.mp4
ABC News – PASADENA, Calif. July 19, 2011 (AP) NASA’s Dawn spacecraft was captured into orbit around the massive asteroid Vesta after a 1.7 billion-mile journey and is preparing to begin a study of a surface that may date to the earliest era of the solar system, the space agency said Monday. The entry into […]
Auroral mechanism
Auroral mechanismAuroras result from emissions of photons in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, above 80 km (50 miles), from ionized nitrogen atoms regaining an electron, and oxygen and nitrogen atoms returning from an excited state to ground state. They are ionized or excited by the collision of solar wind and magnetospheric particles being funneled down and […]
Suppose NASA scientists find an asteroid that may collide with the Earth in 2029?
Question by cosmo: Suppose NASA scientists find an asteroid that may collide with the Earth in 2029? It’s a pretty big one, 10 miles across, big enough to cause mass extinctions but not to wipe out all life on Earth. NASA scientists believe it has a 90% chance of hitting the Earth. This calculation is […]
How high would a space station have to orbit Jupiter for it’s occupants to experience Earth-like gravity?
Question by Usarian: How high would a space station have to orbit Jupiter for it’s occupants to experience Earth-like gravity? Do we have a propulsion system available today (or soon to come like VASIMR, etc) that could maintain that kind of orbit? Best answer: Answer by lunchtime_browserif they were orbiting anything, they would experience orbiting-like […]
