NASA and SpaceX are partnering to build Space stations using SpaceX Starship. NASA and SpaceX have not revealed or developed plans for their Starship based space stations. Cuzza Futurism has some designs for space stations built using standard and redesigned SpaceX Starships and some other components. The first is a space station built using 16 …
If we connect SpaceX Starships for space stations and rotate them for artificial gravity then we have to make sure they are rotationally stable. A Space Station with three SpaceX Starships with one in the center for docking is not rotationally stable. A two SpaceX Starship system is rotationally stable. The central structure for docking …
There are videos with renderings of SpaceX Starships connected into larger space stations with simulated gravity. This will be more and more important as NASA has announced they are working with SpaceX to make space stations using SpaceX Starships. I believe that the SpaceX Starship with seven $250,000 engines and steel construction can come down …
NASA announced they were working with SpaceX to make SpaceX Starships into Space Stations. The SpaceX Starship has more volume than the International Space Station. Ercx Space and Smallstars have used computer rendering and design to make detailed interiors of SpaceX Starship. SpaceX has said that in the future each SpaceX Starship could hold up …
The new X-plane seeks to enable a potential new generation of more sustainable single-aisle aircraft – the workhorse of passenger airlines around the world. Working with NASA, Boeing will build, test, and fly a full-scale demonstrator aircraft with extra-long, thin wings stabilized by diagonal struts, known as a Transonic Truss-Braced Wing concept. The X-66A will …
NASA will partner with SpaceX to make Starship space stations. This is part of NASA partnering with seven U.S. companies to make advanced space capabilities. SpaceX is collaborating with NASA on an integrated low Earth orbit architecture to provide a growing portfolio of technology with near-term Dragon evolution and concurrent Starship development. This architecture includes …
There was a conference discussion on moon and Mars space development. JAXA described making a 300 kg unmanned rover for the South Pole of the moon. JAXA will then make an 11 ton manned rover for the Artemis project. NASA Talked about Artemis and DARPA talked about DRACO leap ahead nuclear propulsion SpaceX senior director …
The four contracts for the Space Launch System rocket’s booster and engine were initially projected to cost $7 billion over a span of 14 years, but are now projected to cost at least $13.1 billion over nearly 25 years. (from the NASA Inspector General Paul Martin published by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) on …
NASA and Boeing reviewed the Starliner and determined that are still emerging issues that need a path to closure prior to a decision to fuel the spacecraft in June. The chair of a NASA safety panel urged the agency not to rush into a crewed test flight of Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner vehicle, calling for an …
Here is the NASA Moon-to Mars Planetary Autonomous Construction Technologies (MMPACT) Overview. NASA’s goal is to develop, deliver, and demonstrate on-demand capabilities to protect astronauts and create infrastructure on the lunar surface via construction of landing pads, habitats, shelters, roadways, and blast shields using lunar regolith-based materials. ICON Build is the primary commercial developer of …
Blue Origin and its National Team partners will develop and fly both a lunar lander that can make a precision landing anywhere on the Moon’s surface and a cislunar transporter. NASA has awarded a NextSTEP-2 Appendix P Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) contract to Blue Origin. Blue Origin’s National Team partners include Lockheed Martin, Draper, Boeing, …
