ASTRONOMICAL HIGHLIGHTS May 2020 Broadcast Date May 4, 2020 A Tale of Two Comets Last month I mentioned there was a comet approaching the inner region of our solar system. The comet (called Comet ATLAS or C/2019 Y4) brightened quickly until late-March, and some astronomers anticipated that it might be visible to the naked eye in May and become one of the most spectacular comets seen in the last 20 years. The comet was discovered on December 29, 2019 by the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) robotic astronomical survey system based in Hawaii. This NASA-supported survey project for Planetary Defense operates two autonomous telescopes that look for Earth approaching comets and asteroids.

  • Is Space Tourism the Next Giant Leap?
    For UBS marketing purposes U.S. President Donald Trump speaks after the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft from Kennedy Space Center. (ddp) Longer term investment themes Is space tourism the next giant leap? 09 July 2020, 7:30 pm CEST, written by UBS Editorial Team SpaceX and NASA made history over the weekend, launching, for the first time from American soil, a commercially built vessel to the International Space Station (ISS). What does this collaboration mean for the future of space travel? American astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley reached the ISS on Sunday and were greeted by fellow NASA astronaut Christopher Cassidy and Russian cosmonauts Anatoli Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner, who were already on board the station. This is a triumph for both SpaceX and NASA. Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, has been working toward this moment since creating the company in 2002. Meanwhile, NASA has been scrutinized for its decision to partner with a commercial entity to design the spacecraft, after shutting down its own Space Shuttle program in 2011. While NASA has previously partnered with the private sector in various aspects, this was the first time it had handed over the entire design and development of a spacecraft to a private partner. What's new? SpaceX engineer John Federspiel said of the Crew Dragon, "We took a different approach to spaceship design…because we wanted this to feel like a 21st Century spaceship." He told the BBC that "probably one of the biggest features of Dragon are the touchscreens on the inside.

"I can say that the human brain functions very well in space, and I have seen this today." At the age of 12 years and seven months, Karyakin became the world's youngest ever grandmaster.

  • American Launch: Spacex Dragon-2 Demo Flight
    American Launch: SpaceX Dragon-2 Demo Flight 27 May 2020 4:33pm EDT first attempt 30 May 2020 3:22 pm EDT “America has launched” Joining the live coverage of the first launch attempt I was impressed to see the two Tesla “wing-door” crew transporter vans delivering the two astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to the historic launch pad 39A “in style”, to be lifted on top of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle through an airport-like “gangway” and strapped into their custom tailored seats and finally sealed in airtight. Falcon 9 is a two stage launch vehicle built by the Elon Musk’s private company SpaceX. Demonstrating the Public Private Partnership (PPP), the Falcon 9 first stage carries the NASA “worm logo”. Both, the Falcon 9 first stage and the Dragon crew capsule are reusable. Falcon 9’s first stage will guided back to Earth to touch down under its own power minutes after separation from the second stage to hover down vertically on a SpaceX provided pontoon platform to be secured and refurbished and used again. The Dragon crew capsule will be recovered after a parachuted splash down to be reused for further flights. Recovery of crew and capsule by a specialized ground team is possible at 2 different sites by two new identical ships provided by SpaceX in the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. In the so called “white room” the crew is supported by three engineers dressed in futuristic black suits, rather than the usual white clean room suits. This close out team looks more like the “frog-man” outfit used for capsule recovery.
