    It seems a bit far-fetched, but ACT' adepts of planets and moons destruction may get inspired :p

    very nice selection of projects by NIAC!! there are at least some who have European partners as it looks like ... lets still see if we can get involved ...

    Interesting. Is it NASA's equivalent of ESA's GSP?

    It is a good thing NIAC is alive again. Wie, Bong -> "Optimal Dispersion of Near-Earth Objects" . I wonder what it is?

    Thanks for sharing! Most pics are very very nice, but a few are actually pretty mediocre I must say... "Wildlife" photography is always a rather tricky topic, as demonstrated by this famous story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8470962.stm

    The Space Launch System will be NASA's first exploration-class vehicle since the Saturn V took American astronauts to the moon over 40 years ago. With its superior lift capability, the SLS will allow us to explore cis-lunar space, near-Earth asteroids, Mars and its moons and beyond.

  • We are departing from traditional approaches of a single robotic spacecraft with no redundancy that is Earth-commanded to one that allows for having multiple, expendable low-cost robots that can command themselves or other robots at various locations at the same time.

astrodynamic space planets

shared by Joris _ on 11 Jun 09 - No Cached
  • Mercury, Mars, Venus and Earth to smash into each other, either one at a time or all at once
  • by the end of that same 5 billion years the sun will have burned up its hydrogen and in a cooler state will inflate itself
  • the great "gas giants" of the outer solar system - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - are extremely stable in their orbits, so they could remain where they are for a much longer time
  • Joris _ on 11 Jun 09
     
    Interesting, but obviously something is wrong. How the big giants can remain still if the inner planets and the sun vanish at the same time !
