Launch of the final Delta IV Heavy has been delayed until further notice. An issue with a liquid pump in the gaseous nitrogen pipeline, crucial for providing pneumatic pressure to the launch vehicle's systems, led to the postponement.
The anomaly prompted a meticulous troubleshooting process by the United Launch Alliance (ULA) team. Work to diagnose and rectify the issue is underway to ens

Mapping the best route for a spacecraft traveling beyond the sun's sphere of influence
Friday, 29 March 2024 16:35
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.
