Hi, it’s me, Tim Dodd. The Everyday Astronaut. Rocket engines are incredibly complex machines pushing the boundaries of material science and human ingenuity. And there’s a wide range of ways. You can actually power...
Have you heard about this? Four volunteers will suspend soon spend an entire year inside a small habitat at Johnson Space Center in Houston. It is all part of a program to better prepare...
The term rocket science is often used to describe a concept that is quite difficult to understand but in this video we are going to explain The technology behind rockets and rocket engines in...
Welcome to orbital dynamics. This is a multi-part course on the basics of orbital dynamics. The orbital dynamics or orbital mechanics textbooks assume familiarity with calculus and all the algebra and trig that goes...
– Last video, I was at the Ashton Graybiel Spatial Orientation Lab at Brandeis University, and while I was there one of the team just casually mentioned that they have an artificial gravity laboratory....
Today, I will talk to you about elliptical orbits and Kepler’s famous laws. I first want to review with you briefly what we know about circular orbits, so I wrote on the blackboard everything...
