• Lunar lander liftoffs
The X Prize Foundation unveiled the new teams on Tuesday along with a new "preferred partner," Analytical Graphics Inc. , which will be providing all the teams with AGI spaceflight simulation software. Schulman explained that the software will help ...
• Sun’s magnetic secret revealed
Once they knew what to look for, the researchers found magnetic waves within the simulation of the corona that strongly resembled the Alfven waves directly observed in the chromosphere. Even as the simulations helped establish Alfven waves as energy ...
• Sun may be galactic hitchhiker
Astronomers have long believed that most stars are homebodies which stick close to their birthplaces. But a new simulation supports the suggestion that our sun might have once hitchhiked through the galaxy. Where our sun or another star ends up ...
• Cosmic Log: Meteorite case closed?
Ballistic simulation models are currently being developed to estimate the actual penetration depth. The next step appears to be drilling a series of variable depth wells where a submersible magnetometer can be lowered to get magnetic field readings ...
• Huffing and puffing to blow a house down
His team worked toward a faithful simulation by measuring the pressure with a small-scale wind tunnel model. In collaboration with the Cambridge, England-based design firm Cambridge Consultants Ltd., the researchers scaled up the results with fans ...
