NASA to Inflate Heat Shield on Earth Before Spaceflight Demo

  NASA to Inflate Heat Shield : you are a space enthusiast, this article is for you. The inflatable heat shield for NASA’s new crew ship will allow the agency to save time and money on the construction process and test performance in advance of its project launch. Read this article to find out what you need to know about the inflatable heat shield. What is a heat shield? A heat shield is a device use to protect spacecraft and astronauts from the intense heat of re-entry into  Earth’s  atmosphere. The original heat shield technology was conceiv by Russian scientist Mikhail Kalashnikov in the early 1950s.  The modern heat shield is a cone-shap device made of metal and plastic that is attache to the front of a spacecraft. The heat shield protects the spacecraft from burning up as it enters Earth’s atmosphere. The heat shield works by absorbing the energy from the sun’s rays and then releasing it slowly, preventing the craft from being damage.   Before a spacec...

Gravity Assist: It’s Raining Diamonds on These Planets

  Gravity Assist:  In the space of just a few short years, the price of many different cryptocurrencies has skyrockete. How do they make this happen? Is it a coincidence? Or because of something else? In some cases, such as with Bitcoin, it can be due to the limit supply and in other cases, such as with Ethereum, it’s because critical mass came online. Introduction Gravity Assist: It’s Raining Diamonds on These Planets Diamonds are falling out of the sky! Gravity Assist is causing these precious gems to rain down on planets across the universe.The theory behind Gravity Assist is simple. The more monstrous a planet is, the greater gravity it has. And because diamond crystals are so small, they have a lot of mass compare to something like rock. This means that when a planet moves around in its orbit, it can pull on diamonds and fling them into space! So far, we’ve seen this happen with Jupiter and Saturn. The larger planets are able to grab hold of smaller diamonds and flin...
