Pegasus V, un fossile nell'universo - MEDIA INAF

A convalidarne la presenza sono state le osservazioni condotte con il telescopio Gemini North da 8,1 metri delle Hawaii, ma la scoperta si deve all’astrofilo Giuseppe Donatiello. Si chiama Pegasus V. È una galassia nana ultra-debole e stando ai risultati delle osservazioni di follow-up è una...

Ship 24 was rolled to the Launch Site ahead of its testing campaign. Ship 24 joins Booster 7 at the site, with the two being bookmarked for the first orbital flight.

Ship 24 was lifted on Suborbital Pad B for testing and Booster 7 was tested. Meanwhile, Booster 8's forward section was moved into the Mega Bay for stacking and a Booster Thrust Assembly was flipped.

Ship 24 was disconnected from SpaceX's LR 11000 crane and crews worked around its quick disconnect plate as it is being prepared for static fire testing. Meanwhile, Booster 8 was stacked in the Mega Bay and 3 Raptor 2 engines were delivered.

Twin solid rocket boosters that will produce a combined 7.2 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, a towering core stage, and the only human-rated spacecraft in the world capable of deep-space travel – together, NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft stand ready to usher in a new chapter of exploration. Now fully assembled at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, SLS and Orion will soon launch on the uncrewed Artemis I mission around the Moon, paving the way for astronauts. Artemis I represents a new generation of spaceflight capabilities and partnerships that will take humans back to the Moon and beyond.
