Record Delta Wave Hits Children ARAB TIMES, SUNDAY, AUGUST 22, 2021 SCIENCE 11 Space China’s rover soldiers on Japan plans to bring Mars samples by ’29 TOKYO, Aug 21, (AP): Japan’s space agency plans to bring soil samples back from the Mars region ahead of the US and Chinese missions now operating on Mars, in hopes of fi nding clues to the planet’s origin and traces of pos- sible life. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA, plans to launch an explorer in 2024 to land on the Martian moon Phobos to collect 10 grams (0.35 ounce) of soil and bring it back to Earth in 2029. The rapid return trip would put Japan ahead of the United States and China in bringing back samples from the Martian region despite starting later, project manager Yasuhiro Kawakatsu said in an online news conference Thursday. NASA’s Perseverance rover is op- erating in a Mars crater where it is to collect 31 samples that are to be returned to Earth with help from the European Space Agency as early as 2031. China landed a spacecraft on Mars in May and plans to bring back samples around 2030. JAXA scientists believe about 0.1% of the surface soil on Phobos came from Mars, and 10 grams could contain about 30 granules, depend- Kawakatsu ing on the consistency of the soil, Kawakatsu said.

US Army’s Controversial Ground-Based Hypersonic Missile to Have Over 1,700-Mile Range by Morgan Artvukhina The Pentagon has several hypersonic weapons programs currently in development in a bid to close the gap with Russia and China, both of which already have hypersonic missiles deployed. The ultra-fast weapons are capable of evading most methods of detection as well as interception. The US Army has let slip the range of its forthcoming ground-launched hypersonic missile system, revealing the weapon has a range in excess of 1,700 miles. Breaking Defense reported earlier this week that an Army spokesperson had told the outlet the service’s forthcoming Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) will be able to strike targets “at a distance greater than 2,775 kilometers,” or 1,725 miles. At that range, the weapon will be nearly equal to intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs), but due to its maneuverable hypersonic glide vehicle, it will be much more potent a threat than existing IRBMs. The weapon will also become the latest addition to the growing list of ground-based missiles developed by the US that would have violated the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty the US withdrew from in 2019. The 1987 bilateral treaty the US signed with the Soviet Union banned ground-based surface strike missiles with ranges of between 500 and 5,000 kilometers over fears that a nuclear-armed missile at that range would be able to deliver a strike so quickly as to make war much more likely.

  • Space Age: Past, Present and Possible Futures
    https://doi.org/10.1590/jatm.v13.1226 REVIEW ARTICLE Space Age: Past, Present and Possible Futures José Bezerra Pessoa Filho1,* 1.Departamento de Ciência e Tecnologia Aeroespacial – Instituto de Aeronáutica e Espaço – Divisão de Sistemas Espaciais – São José dos Campos/SP – Brazil. *Retired; Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Since Gagarin’s flight on April 12th, 1961, the dream of making human space flight routine and making Homo sapiens a multiplanetary species seemed to have become closer to reality. Nonetheless, on average less than 10 human flights a year have happened along the past 60 years. Unmanned spacecrafts, on the other hand, have changed the way the human race sees itself and the universe it is surrounded by. They have explored all planets in the solar system, as well as comets, asteroids and the Sun. Presently, there are four unmanned spacecrafts on Mars’ surface and eight satellites in its orbit. Since the launching of Sputnik in 1957, more than 11,000 satellites have been sent into Earth’s orbit. Nowadays, it is impossible to imagine life on Earth without the services provided by the space-based infrastructure resulting from the Space Age. They have changed themodus vivendi of the human civilization and become a commodity, like potable water and electricity. The so-called satellite industry generates around US$ 300 billion a year, mostly related to the sale of satellite services and ground equipment. The era of exponential growth and disruption has reached Earth’s orbit, and beyond, through the minds, initiatives and boldness of the NewSpace generation, from which Elon Musk is its exponent.
