Inflatable spacecraft heat shield ready to launch [HD]
Researchers from NASA #39;s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., will launch and deploy a large inflatable heat shield aboard a rocket traveling at hypersonic speeds during a technology demonstration test from the agency #39;s Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Va. The test is designed to demonstrate that lightweight, yet strong, inflatable structures may become practical tools for exploration of other worlds or a way to safely return items from the International Space Station to Earth. During this technology demonstration test flight, NASA #39;s Inflatable Reentry Vehicle Experiment (IRVE-3) payload will try to come through Earth #39;s atmosphere at hypersonic speeds -- Mach 5, or 3800 to 7600 mph.

"The Evolution of a Rocket", Episode 36 of Journey Into Space
Rockets, airplanes, ships and the like often have a design evolution over their lifetimes, and it sometimes takes a few version numbers before the design fully maximizes its potential, sometimes expanding into roles that were never envisioned for it originally. The Simplex rocket was built with a very simple intention: to build a capable one-man rocket, able to reach the Interkerbin Space Station, with a minimal launch weight. Particularly a minimal first stage, which would be powered by jet engines. But there is no such thing as a good idea that we can #39;t run right into the ground. 😉 The Simplex FAR was the next stage, a one-man rocket to reach the High Altitude Research Station, one million meters up. To enable that, we needed to launch a robotic fuel freighter to the low-kerbin-orbit space station, to top up the fuel tanks. But you know, why stop there? In our next episode, we #39;ll launch the Simplex DUNA, a one-man rocket to go to Duna and return, all still launched on top of that same jet-powered first stage. How humane it is to send someone on a months-long journey to another planet in something the size of a coat closet is another issue to be dealt with, at some indefinite future point. 😉 ****************** The Simplex 2, granddaddy of the series: sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net The Simplex FAR 5, designed for the High Altitude Research Station and beyond: sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net The Simplex DUNA, still untested. sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net The High Altitude Research Station ...From:Robert DoddViews:4 5ratingsTime:52:25More inEntertainment

ESA astronauts training for ISS
ESA #39;s Human Space Flight programme is gaining more and more experience with several long duration missions aboard the International Space Station. In 2013 and 2014 the recently recruited new generation of European astronauts will enjoy the experience of orbiting the Earth. Luca Parmitano will fly from Baikonur next May for six months, followed in 2014 by Alexander Gerst and then Samantha Cristoforetti. This videos shows ESA astronauts training at the Johnson Space Centre in Houston and Star City in Moscow.

Ravenstar Ascent in Orbiter Simulator
This ascent in the XR-2 Ravenstar space shuttle for the 2010 Orbiter Simulator went well, but not quite good enough to meet up with the International Space Station. The reason for this is because I had a bank error for the early supersonic portion of the ascent and wound up a little bit too far south on the ascent track. I was also flying the Ravenstar with all the specific performance settings to minimum, with a full payload of cargo and passengers; this is my first attempt to rendezvous that configuration with the International Space Station. The other error I did not discover during the simulation was that I hit Ctrl-G to raise the landing gear on take-off instead of G. This opened the SCRAM intakes instead. I noticed the gear was still down, but I failed to notice the SCRAM intakes were open until the point where I would normally have opened them.
