00:00:50 --> 00:00:51 so strap in for a journey through the
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53 latest and greatest in space exploration
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56 right here on Astronomy Daily first up
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 let's get an update on a story we've
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00 been covering this week the SpaceX Framm
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02 2 mission is making headlines as the
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04 first ever crew to orbit Earth from pole
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07 to pole giving us a completely new human
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 perspective of our planet now in their
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11 third day aboard the Crew Dragon
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13 Resilience the four-person crew has been
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 sharing breathtaking footage of their
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18 journey including unique views of the
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21 Arctic and Antarctica that no human has
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23 witnessed firsthand until now in videos
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25 posted to social media mission commander
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28 Chun Wang and his crewmates captured
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 incredible moments circling the globe
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33 every 90 minutes one particularly
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35 striking clip shows the spacecraft
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37 flying over Florida's Space Coast where
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39 they were able to zoom in on their own
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42 launchpad at Kennedy Space Center you
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43 can hear the excitement in their voices
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46 as they exclaim "I can see our launchpad
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48 from here." Followed by Wong's
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50 enthusiastic response "It is our launch
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53 pad oh my god." The historic crew
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55 consists of Malty's cryptocurrency
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57 billionaire Chun Wong who's funding the
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00 mission along with three spaceflight
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02 rookies Jennica Mickelson of Norway
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05 Rabia Raga of Germany and Eric Phillips
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08 of Australia they launched aboard
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10 Resilience on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14 from launch complex 39A this past Monday
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15 wong shared details about their
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17 experience describing the Falcon 9
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20 liftoff as surprisingly smooth the crew
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 has been keeping busy with various
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24 activities including ham radio
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26 transmissions capturing X-ray images and
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28 even hosting a movie night where they
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 rewatched their own launch they've
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32 documented spectacular sites including
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35 massive storm systems swirling over ice
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37 covered regions and what they identified
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41 as Norway's islands during a video call
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43 shown in their latest footage medical
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44 officer Eric Phillips spoke with his son
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47 in Los Angeles mentioning they would be
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49 splashing down tomorrow indicating a
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51 return to Earth on Friday this aligns
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53 with the mission's scheduled duration of
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56 3 to 5 days when Resilience does return
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58 it will mark another milestone as the
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 first of SpaceX's crude missions to
00:03:00 --> 00:03:03 splash down in the Pacific Ocean off
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05 California's coast representing a shift
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07 in the company's recovery operations
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09 away from Florida the world will be
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10 watching as these pioneering polar
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12 explorers complete their historic
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14 journey and bring home unprecedented
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15 perspectives of our
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18 planet after five decades without a
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20 moonbound crew insignia NASA has
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22 officially unveiled the Aremis 2 mission
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25 patch representing humanity's long
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27 awaited return to lunar
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29 exploration revealed just yesterday this
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31 emblem will be worn by the four
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33 astronauts scheduled to journey around
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36 the moon no later than April 2026
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38 the distinctive patch shares the same
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40 outline as NASA's broader Artemis
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43 program emblem featuring the letter A
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45 with a red trajectory line forming its
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47 crossbar symbolizing the path between
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50 Earth and our lunar neighbor what makes
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52 this patch particularly meaningful is
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55 its central artwork depicting Earth Rise
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57 the iconic image first captured by
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00 Apollo 8 astronauts in 1968 when humans
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02 initially ventured to lunar orbit
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04 according to the crew's official
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06 description the scene of the Earth and
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08 the Moon represents the dual nature of
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09 human space flight both equally
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12 compelling the moon represents our
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14 exploration destination focused on
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16 discovery of the unknown the Earth
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18 represents home focused on the
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20 perspective we gain when we look back at
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22 our shared planet and learn what it is
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25 to be uniquely human the patch notably
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28 designates the mission as AI signifying
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30 not just the second major Artemis flight
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32 but what the crew describes as an
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34 endeavor of discovery that seeks to
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36 explore for all and by all this
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38 inclusive message reflects the historic
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41 nature of the crew itself which consists
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43 of NASA astronauts Reed Wiseman serving
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46 as commander Victor Glover as pilot
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49 Christina Ko as mission specialist and
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51 Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53 Hansen also as mission specialist
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55 hansen's inclusion is particularly
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57 significant as he'll become the first
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59 non-American to travel to the moon he's
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01 already revealed his personal mission
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04 patch featuring indigenous art honoring
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07 Canada's original explorers artemis 2
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09 will mark several historic firsts the
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11 inaugural crude test flight of NASA's
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14 space launch system rocket and Orion
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16 spacecraft humanity's first lunar
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20 mission since Apollo 17 in 1972 and
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21 possibly the farthest humans have ever
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24 traveled from Earth the astronauts will
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27 journey more than 600 m as they loop
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29 around the moon before returning home
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31 paving the way for future Aremis
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33 missions that aim to establish a
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35 sustainable human presence on the lunar
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37 surface
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40 next up while SpaceX continues working
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41 through challenges with Starship's upper
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44 stage the company has just reached a
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46 remarkable milestone with the rocket's
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48 massive first stage booster yesterday
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50 morning at their Starbase facility in
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53 South Texas SpaceX successfully test
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55 fired a previously flown Superheavy
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57 booster for the first time ever with a
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59 spectacular 8-second burn that sent a
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02 dramatic plume of orange exhaust across
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04 the launch site this particular booster
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07 designated booster 14 first launched in
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09 January reaching the edge of space
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11 before returning to Earth now it's
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13 poised to fly again with SpaceX
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15 confirming it will power the next
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18 Starship test flight of the booster's 33
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21 methane fueled Raptor engines 29 are
00:06:21 --> 00:06:23 flight proven making this a significant
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25 step toward what SpaceX describes as
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27 their ultimate goal of zero touch
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30 reflight the Superheavy booster is truly
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32 an engineering marvel standing taller
00:06:32 --> 00:06:36 than a Boeing 747 jumbo jet positioned
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38 vertically it generates nearly 17
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41 million pounds of thrust twice the power
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43 of NASA's legendary Saturn 5 rocket that
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46 sent astronauts to the moon it's
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48 arguably the most complex rocket booster
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50 ever constructed and certainly the
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53 largest what makes this rapid turnaround
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55 particularly impressive is the contrast
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58 with SpaceX's first Falcon 9 booster
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01 reuse back in 2017 that process required
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03 nearly a year of thorough inspections
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05 refurbishment and cross-country
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07 transportation between facilities
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09 booster 14 meanwhile is on track to fly
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11 again less than 3 months after its
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14 initial launch unlike the Falcon 9 which
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17 uses landing legs to touch down at a
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19 separate location Superheavy is caught
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21 by mechanical arms at the launch tower
00:07:21 --> 00:07:24 as it returns a technique SpaceX calls
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27 the chopstick catch this approach
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29 eliminates the need for landing legs and
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31 potentially allows for much faster
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33 turnaround between flights the speedy
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35 reuse progress is especially noteworthy
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38 given Superheavyy's scale and complexity
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41 compared to Falcon 9 with 33 engines
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43 instead of nine there are theoretically
00:07:43 --> 00:07:46 more potential failure points yet SpaceX
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48 has achieved seven consecutive
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50 successful Superheavy launches and has
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52 recovered three boosters in four recent
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54 attempts this rapid progress with
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57 booster reusability is crucial for
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59 SpaceX's ambitious Starship program
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01 especially considering NASA's reliance
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03 on the system for future Artemis lunar
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06 landings when fully operational multiple
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08 Starship launches will be required to
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10 refuel lunar landers in orbit before
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12 they can journey to the moon making
00:08:12 --> 00:08:15 quick and reliable reuse absolutely
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17 essential moon dust is quickly becoming
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19 one of space exploration's most
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22 versatile materials in an exciting new
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23 breakthrough scientists have now
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25 demonstrated that lunar regalith the
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27 technical term for the dust and
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29 fragmented material covering the moon's
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31 surface can be transformed into
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34 functioning solar cells a team led by
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35 Felix Lang from the University of
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37 Pottsdam in Germany has successfully
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40 turned simulated lunar dust into solar
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42 panels potentially solving a critical
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44 power generation challenge for future
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47 lunar settlements from extracting water
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49 for fuel to building houses with lunar
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51 bricks scientists have been finding ways
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54 to use moon dust Lang explained now we
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56 can turn it into solar cells too
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58 possibly providing the energy a future
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00 moon city will need the process is
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02 surprisingly straightforward the
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04 researchers melted simulated lunar
00:09:04 --> 00:09:07 regalith to create what they call
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09 moonlass which can be accomplished on
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11 the moon simply by focusing natural
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13 sunlight to achieve the necessary high
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15 temperatures this moonlass is then
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18 combined with perovskite a crystallin
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20 material commonly used in solar cells
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22 that absorbs sunlight and excites
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24 electrons to generate electric current
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26 manufacturing solar cells on the moon
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28 offers significant advantages over
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30 transporting earthmade panels
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32 traditional solar cells incorporate
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35 glass that adds considerable weight to
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37 launch payloads dramatically increasing
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40 costs by using local lunar materials
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42 scientists estimate they could reduce
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44 transport weight by an impressive
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47 99% the moonlass based cells have
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49 another unexpected benefit standard
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51 glass tends to brown in space reducing
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53 efficiency as it blocks incoming
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56 sunlight however moononglass already has
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58 a natural brown tint from impurities in
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00 the regalith which actually prevents
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03 further browning it's also more
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05 resistant to space radiation a critical
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08 factor in the harsh lunar
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10 environment while the current efficiency
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13 of these glass solar cells sits at
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16 around 10% considerably lower than the
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19 30 to 40% efficiency of premium
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21 space-based solar panels lang's team
00:10:21 --> 00:10:25 believes they can improve this to 23% by
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28 removing certain impurities even at
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30 lower efficiency the ability to
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33 mass-roduce these cells directly on the
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35 lunar surface makes them extremely
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37 practical you don't need ultraefficient
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39 30% solar cells you just make more of
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42 them on the moon Lang noted this
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44 approach could be particularly valuable
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46 at the lunar south pole where permanent
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48 sunlight and nearby water ice deposits
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50 make it an ideal location for a
00:10:50 --> 00:10:53 sustainable moon base some challenges
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55 remain including how low gravity might
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58 affect the moonlass formation process
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00 and how perovsky solvents might behave
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02 in vacuum conditions to address these
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05 questions the research team proposes a
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07 smallcale lunar mission to test the
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09 solar cells in actual lunar conditions
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11 potentially unlocking a power source
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13 that could sustain humanity's long-term
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16 presence on our celestial neighbor
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19 finally today in the realm of space
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21 innovation Spin Launch is turning heads
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22 with its ambitious plans for a new
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24 broadband satellite constellation called
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27 Meridian Space what makes this project
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28 particularly revolutionary is the
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31 company's vision for deployment they aim
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33 to launch up to 250 micro satellites in
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35 a single mission a feat that would
00:11:35 --> 00:11:38 shatter the current record of 143
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40 satellites launched at once set by
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43 SpaceX's Transporter 1 mission in 2021
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45 this satellite network recently secured
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47 $12 million in funding from Kongsburg
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49 Nanoavionics to develop and
00:11:49 --> 00:11:50 commercialize these specialized
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53 spacecraft according to their timeline
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55 we could see the first onorbit
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57 demonstrator as early as
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00 2026 the flat stackable design of these
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03 satellites is key to fitting so many on
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05 a single launch vehicle with images
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07 showing them neatly arranged at top one
00:12:07 --> 00:12:11 another eric Lie president of Kongsburg
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13 Defense and Aerospace has emphasized
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15 that the Meridian Space Constellation
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17 will provide significantly higher
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19 broadband capacity in a satellite
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21 constellation compared with what is
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23 available on the market
00:12:23 --> 00:12:26 today meanwhile David Ren Spin Launch's
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29 CEO noted that NanoAvionics modular
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31 satellite platforms offer a reliable
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33 foundation to scale our constellation
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35 quickly and confidently
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37 what truly sets Spin Launch apart
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39 however is their unconventional approach
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41 to reaching orbit the company is
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44 developing a massive 108t long spinning
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46 arm that works as a centrifuge
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47 accelerating launch vehicles to
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49 tremendous speeds before literally
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51 flinging them skyward once these
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53 vehicles reach sufficient altitude they
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55 ignite their engines dramatically
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58 reducing the fuel and hardware required
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01 to achieve orbit this isn't just
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03 theoretical technology nasa has already
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05 partnered with Spin Launch signing an
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08 agreement in 2022 for a demonstration
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10 that successfully launched experiments
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12 from NASA Airbus and Cornell University
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15 to suborbital space using the centrifuge
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17 method while it remains unclear whether
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19 Spin Launch will use their own
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21 revolutionary system to deploy the first
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23 Meridian Space Demonstrator or opt for a
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25 traditional rocket launch their approach
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27 represents a fundamental rethinking of
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30 how we access space potentially making
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32 satellite deployment more economical and
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35 environmentally sustainable than ever
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37 before that wraps up today's edition of
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40 Astronomy Daily from the historic
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42 pole-to-pole orbit of the Framm 2
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43 mission to SpaceX's breakthrough in
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46 Superheavy booster reuse we've covered
00:13:46 --> 00:13:47 some remarkable developments in
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50 humanity's ongoing exploration of space
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52 the Aremis program continues to progress
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54 toward returning humans to the lunar
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56 surface while innovative approaches to
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58 utilizing moon dust for solar power
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00 could revolutionize our future presence
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03 there and Spin Launch's ambitious
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05 satellite deployment plans show how
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07 rapidly space technology continues to
