Mapping the best route for a spacecraft traveling beyond the sun's sphere of influence
Friday, 29 March 2024 16:35 Write a comment
The heliosphere—made of solar wind, solar transients, and the interplanetary magnetic field—acts as our solar system's personal shield, protecting the planets from galactic cosmic rays. These extremely energetic particles accelerated outwards from events like supernovas and would cause a huge amount of damage if the heliosphere did not mostly absorb them.
Currently, the scientific community cannot reach a consensus on the boundaries or contours of this protected space, and they're exploring mission concepts for an interstellar probe that travels beyond the sun's sphere of influence to answer these questions.

The United Launch Alliance (ULA) has announced a postponement in the final mission of the Delta IV Heavy rocket, now rescheduled for Friday afternoon. This delay comes as the rocket was prepared for its last journey from Cape Canaveral Space Force Base's Space Launch Complex-37. NROL-70 is conducted for the National Reconnaissance Office, carrying a classified payload, speculated to be an Electronic Signals Intelligence Satellite.

In 1181, observers from different parts of the world were captivated by the appearance of a new 'star' in the constellation Cassiopeia, an event now identified as a rare supernova explosion. Visible for 185 days, this supernova shone with the brightness of Saturn, embedding itself in historical records.

NASA's decision to launch an ambitious space telescope mission in 2030, with a budget of $300 million, marks a significant leap in our understanding of the ultraviolet universe. The mission, named UVEX (UltraViolet EXplorer), will be the first to perform a comprehensive survey of the ultraviolet (UV) sky, offering new insights into the evolution of galaxies and stars over time.
