NASA Releases Commercial Crew Draft RFP, Announces CCDEV2 Optional Milestones

NASA unveiled Monday an outline of its acquisition strategy to procure transportation services from private industry to carry U.S. astronauts to low Earth orbit and the International Space Station. The agency also announced the addition of optional milestones for the Commercial Crew Development Round 2 (CCDev2) initiative.

"This is a significant step forward in America's amazing story of space exploration," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "It's further evidence we are committed to fully implementing our plan -- as laid out in the Authorization Act -- to outsource our space station transportation so NASA can focus its energy and resources on deep space exploration."

NASA Posts Space Launch System Acquisition Overview

NASA has released the acquisition overview for the Space Launch System (SLS). SLS is an entirely new advanced, heavy-lift launch vehicle that will take the agency's astronauts farther into space than ever before, create high-quality jobs here at home and provide the cornerstone for America's future human space exploration efforts.

This new heavy-lift rocket - in combination with the Orion crew capsule already under development, increased support for the commercialization of astronaut travel to low Earth orbit, an extension of activities on the International Space Station until at least 2020, and a fresh focus on new technologies - is key to implementing the plan laid out by President Obama and Congress in the bipartisan 2010 NASA Authorization Act, which the president signed last year.

NASA Posts Global Exploration Roadmap

NASA is releasing the initial version of a Global Exploration Roadmap (GER) developed by the International Space Exploration Coordination Group. This roadmap is the culmination of work by 12 space agencies, including NASA, during the past year to advance coordinated space exploration.

The GER begins with the International Space Station and expands human presence throughout the solar system, leading ultimately to crewed missions to explore the surface of Mars.

Salut!

Sunt gata sa contribui la topicurile despre Space Exploration

Pentru inceput propun doua topicuri noi, eu cred ca vor fi destul destule noutati de scris. Primul despre SpaceX, prima companie privata care va face zboruri pe orbita (a.k.a. resupplying for ISS, posibil si crew transfer in viitor). Al doilea, un topic generic despre Mars Exploration, avand in vedere ca inca avem un rover functional acolo si hopefully in Noiembrie se va lansa o alta misiune spre Marte (MSL - NASA), daca nu chiar doua (au si rusii&chinezii ceva in plan, e o misiune care se cheama Phobos-Grunt, dar nu sunt atat de convins ca vor reusi s-o lanseze anul asta si in plus nu am inteles exact daca vor trimite ceva pe Marte sau  vor lucra doar pe Phobos).

Heavy lifterul asta de la NASA ar fi o treaba buna, dar va dura ceva pana va deveni operational si asta doar in cazul in care nu o sa vina viitorul ,,sef" cu alte idei care implica si taierea finantarii pt. proiectele in curs (vezi proj. Constellation, sau cum se chema ala al lui Bush).

Alt heavy lifter: http://www.spacex.com/falcon_heavy.php     Va fi disponibil mult mai rapid decat cel de la NASA

Salutare l3x!
Multumim pentru contributiile tale, foarte bine venite!

Te rog, poti sa incepi cele doua noi thread-uri/topicuri (cum vrei sa le zici). Sunt topicurile propuse de tine, deci e normal sa le faci singurel aici pe International. Daca am obiectii iti spun.

Multumesc inca o data si bine ai venit!

     Ce de butoane!  (sau mai stiintific spus: Cata tehnologie!)
     Scaunele mi se par cam firave (ma refer la spatar).

Noi cu autostrazile, ei cu obiectivul de a ajunge pe Marte in 2030.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- More than 450 guests at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida welcomed the arrival of the agency's first space-bound Orion spacecraft Monday, marking a major milestone in the construction of the vehicle that will carry astronauts farther into space than ever before.

"Orion's arrival at Kennedy is an important step in meeting the president's goal to send humans to an asteroid by 2025 and to Mars in the 2030s," NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver said. "As NASA acquires services for delivery of cargo and crew to the International Space Station and other low-Earth destinations from private companies, NASA can concentrate its efforts on building America's next generation space exploration system to reach destinations for discovery in deep space. Delivery of the first space-bound Orion, coupled with recent successes in commercial spaceflight, is proof this national strategy is working."

7 planete Earth-like dintr-o lovitura!
In sfarsit avem un telescop capabil. fiti fara grija, in urmatorii 10 ani se vor gasi mii de astfel de planete.
Dar stati linistiti, toate vor fi mult prea departe pentru a putea ajunge acolo. Sau ei aici

[Ionut]

Doar 3 sunt in zona Goldilocks. Probabil cele mai multe stele din zonele locuibile ale galaxiei au multe planete in sistem.

^^
Noi nu suntem destul de evoluati sa strabatem raipd astfel de distante dar poate altii sunt. Probabilitatea spune ca intrun univers infinit pot exista o infinitate de planete capabile sa sustina viata,la fel si organisme inteligente,o parte dintre ele mult mai avansate decat noi cu siguranta.
Descoperirea acestor planete este similara cu descoperirea continentului american dar la o alta scara.

InSight pe Marte. Amartizarea in direct.

Gata. Au amartizat. Bravo bravo!!!
