Pegasus V, un fossile nell’universo

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 st

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.

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.
