SpaceX has successfully launched the European Space Agency's (ESA) HERA (Hypervelocity Experimental Research Asteroid) mission aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The mission aims to explore the feasibility of asteroid deflection and shed light on the effects of high-velocity impacts on celestial bodies.
Pasadena, CA - NASA's highly anticipated Europa Clipper mission is poised to launch on October 10, 2024, aboard SpaceX's powerful Falcon Heavy rocket. This groundbreaking mission aims to explore Jupiter's icy moon Europa, which is believed to harbor a subsurface ocean potentially capable of supporting life.
The European Space Agency (ESA) is gearing up for its groundbreaking HERA (Hypervelocity Experimental Research Asteroid) mission, set to launch in 2026. This ambitious endeavor aims to explore the feasibility of asteroid deflection and shed light on the effects of high-velocity impacts on celestial bodies. By conducting a detailed study of asteroid deflection, HERA will significantly enhance our understanding of the best methods to protect Earth from potential asteroid threats.
Cape Canaveral, FL - United Launch Alliance (ULA), a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, successfully launched its Vulcan Centaur rocket for the second time on 4th october. The mission marked a significant milestone in the development of the next-generation launch vehicle, despite an unexpected anomaly during liftoff.
