Food scarcity made us take a new look at Earth Observation Satellites – supporting the agro-industrial sector. Satellite monitoring help control the level of crop yield, carry out planned irrigation, and timely notice the danger of drought and pests, thus contributing to the preservation of crops.
2022 is now coming to its end, which means it’s time to take stock of the year in space. In Part 1 of this piece, we selected the three most significant space missions of the past year that had the most tangible impact on the space sector this year: DART, James Webb Telescope and Artemis.
NASA successfully launched the super-heavy SLS rocket. Nov. 16, 2022, the Space Launch System rocket went into space, opening a string of 6 planned Artemis missions, including a human-crewed mission and a moon landing. So it’s a good time to look back at the rather tangled history of its emergence.
There has been no greater period of rethinking in science than the 20th century. It brought a new paradigm of understanding the universe. In our first installation on the history of the 20th century, we will discuss the birth of quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of relativity.
In the early 1970s, NASA began preparing the first missions to the outer solar system. The planners were faced with an important question: how traversable was the main asteroid belt? Thus began a period of active exploration of asteroids.
In order to fully unlock the military potential of satellites, it was not enough just to put them into orbit. It was necessary to organize the protection of military satellites. This has led to defense doctrines to be used in possible future space conflicts.
The second half of the 20th century was the golden age of rocket science. This is the story of how, in half a century, missiles have gone from a formidable retaliatory weapon in the bloodiest war in history to the main means of preventing it – nuclear deterrence missile forces.
No other category of celestial bodies is surrounded by as many myths and misconceptions as asteroids. So, today we would like to talk about them. The first part of our material will be dedicated to the history of discovering these bodies and the challenges associated with their classification.
Today we will talk about the role of patrons and sponsors in the development of science, and about the most promising competitions, grants, and private educational initiatives, and also about what role philanthropists play in the development of society, especially in difficult times.
