NASA슬롯사이트™s Latest Mission: Shoebox-Sized Satellite 슬롯사이트˜BurstCube슬롯사이트™ en Route to International Space Station To Explore Cosmic Blasts
The satellite, BurstCube, is enroute to the orbiting lab aboard SpaceX슬롯사이트™s 30th Commercial Resupply Services mission. It lifted off at 4:55 p.m. EDT on Thursday, March 21 (2:25슬롯사이트¯am IST, Friday), from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
Washington, March 22: NASA on Friday launched a shoebox-sized satellite, which aims to unravel the mysteries of cosmic blasts, to the International Space Station (ISS).
The satellite, BurstCube, is enroute to the orbiting lab aboard SpaceX슬롯사이트™s 30th Commercial Resupply Services mission. It lifted off at 4:55 p.m. EDT on Thursday, March 21 (2:25슬롯사이트¯am IST, Friday), from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천US Files Monopoly Lawsuit Against Apple.
After reaching the ISS, "BurstCube will be unpacked and later released into orbit, where it will detect, locate, and study short gamma-ray bursts -- brief flashes of high-energy light", NASA said in a statement.
"BurstCube may be small, but in addition to investigating these extreme events, it's testing new technology and providing important experience for early career astronomers and aerospace engineers," said Jeremy Perkins, BurstCube슬롯사이트™s principal investigator at NASA슬롯사이트™s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, US.
BurstCube, which belongs to a class of spacecraft called CubeSats, can detect gamma rays with "energies ranging from 50,000 to 1 million electron volts". Current gamma-ray missions can catch only about 70 per cent of the sky as the Earth blocks their view. But with BurstCube "more bursts coincident with gravitational wave detections", can be detected.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜Neuralink Demonstrated Telepathy슬롯사이트™: Elon Musk Shares Video of Man With Neuralink Brain Chip Playing Games Just by Thinking.
"BurstCube's detectors are angled to allow us to detect and localise events over a wide area of the sky," said Israel Martinez, research scientist and BurstCube team member at the University of Maryland, College Park and Goddard.
