NASA Reveals How the Earth Would Look if the Oceans Dried up and it's Terrifying
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has come up with an interesting simulation showing how the Earth would look like if the oceans would dry up.
The simulation gives an insight into what a difference lowered sea levels would make. The NASA, upon lowering the sea levels by 50 meters, found that more land becomes visible, rep


With the lowering of sea level by 50 metres, the United Kingdom and Ireland appeared connected with mainland Europe. The same happened with parts of Asia and Oceania.
The simulation also showed Australia and Papua New Guinea getting connected. Besides, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines get linked when the sea level goes down.

Landspace closes in on orbital launch with liquid methane rocket

Landspace closes in on orbital launch with liquid methane rocket Landspace closes in on orbital launch with liquid methane rocket China is meanwhile constructing a new launch complex to support new methalox launch capabilities. HELSINKI — Chinese private firm Landspace is working towards a potential first orbital launch attempt with a methane-fueled launch vehicle later this year. Landspace completed assembly of the four Tianque-12 liquid methane-liquid oxygen engines which power the first stage of the Zhuque-2 rocket in early February. This was preceded by a payload fairing separation test and a series of 400-second hotfire tests of the 80-metric-ton thrust engines in late January. The 49.5-meter-tall, two-stage Zhuque-2 could be the first methane-fueled rocket to launch for orbit. Blue Origin’s New Glenn and ULA’s Vulcan—both powered by the former’s BE-4 staged-combustion methalox engin...

Industry questions U.S. government support for commercial remote sensing

Industry questions U.S. government support for commercial remote sensing Industry questions U.S. government support for commercial remote sensing HawkEye 360 CEO John Serafini: Government contracts help startups raise private funds needed to pay for the space and ground infrastructure. WASHINGTON — About 270 of the 620 remote sensing satellites in orbit are privately owned with about 200 of these belong to U.S. companies, according to the Aerospace Corp. Only about 50 are owned by the U.S. military or intelligence agencies. These numbers show the rapid commercialization of a previously tightly held government national security technology, Josef Koller, systems director at the Aerospace Corp. said Feb. 11 at the SmallSat Symposium. Koller noted that companies are collecting increasingly sophisticated geospatial intelligence from satellites and are using artificial intelligence to analyze im...

NASA implements changes to planetary protection policies for moon and Mars missions

NASA implements changes to planetary protection policies for moon and Mars missions WASHINGTON — NASA announced July 9 two new directives regarding planetary protection for missions to the moon and Mars that implement recommendations of an independent review board last year. The two directives, announced by NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine during a “Moon Dialogs” webinar, are part of an effort by NASA to modernize guidelines that are decades old and which the agency believes could hinder its long-term human exploration plans. The directives reflect “how NASA has evolved on its thinking as it relates to forward and backward harmful biological contamination on the surface of the moon and, of course, on Mars,” Bridenstine said. The first of what are formally known as NASA Interim Directives  revises planetary protection classification of the moon . Mission to the moon had been in Category 2, which required missions to document any biological materials on board but set no cleanliness...
