Stratolaunch Is Ready To Fly But Still Doesn't Have a Viable Rocket
Stratolaunch have built an amazing carrier aircraft in the form of the Roc, able to carry and air drop payloads of over 200 tons. The plan of course was to use this to launch rockets into orbit, but, agreements with SpaceX and Orbital Sciences ultimately led nowhere.
The announcement on Monday about new launch vehicles was short on details, so I took some measurements and tried to build something that was roughly the right size in Kerbal Space Program to see if I could build a viable launch vehicle.

The Story mode for The Long Dark has finally been released after a few years of development. I've loved getting lost in the sandbox and getting mauled to death by bears in challenges. The game's atmosphere has been amazing and finally we have a story set in this harsh unforgiving environment.

how-fast-are-spaceships-in-'the-expanse'
I take a few scenes from the TV show and do the math on how fast the spacecraft are moving, how long they would take to cover the distances in the solar system with brachistochrone orbits powered by the Epstein drive.
To illustrate a number of things I use the magnificent 'Space Engine' -

Yes, this contains lots of spoilers.

The Japanese Hayabusa 2 mission has successfully managed to put 2 of its 4 'rovers' onto the surface of Ryugu and return the closest ever pictures from the surface of an asteroid. There was some concern when mission controllers didn't update us for a day, but, now we have pictures showing the spacecraft are healthy and moving over the surface.

In the 1970's NASA began development of the Tracking & Data Relay Satellite System - a fundamental part of NASA's space infrastructure which allows satellites near the Earth to communicate back to mission control even when there's no ground stations visible over the horizon.

how-deadly-are-the-van-allen-radiation
The radiation belts around the Earth were discovered by James Van Allen in the late 1950's using data from the earliest US satellites, and very quickly he concluded that the radiation levels were high enough to cause concern for human spaceflight. The belts have been well studied, but they're still not perfectly understood, for example the source of the low frequency radio waves that clear out the slot region between the inner and outer belts.
Using models of the belts and radiation analysis tools we show just how much radiation crew would be exposed to when flying through the belts and show that there are ways to reduce the exposure to safe levels.
The modelling of the exposure and dose levels uses ESA's Space ENVironment Information System
