NASA prepares super rocket for new space travel

A NASA released an important news about new technologies developed for space exploration and a possible journey of human beings to Mars. One new generation of rockets, thrusters, launchers, probes and satellites promise to expand the scope and limits, establish new formats for studies and analysis of surfaces and soils, evaluate possibilities for extracting minerals and also capture magnetic fields, radiation and hydrogen.

The biggest of rockets is called Space launch system (SLS) and will be the most powerful rocket ever made by the US space agency. THE NASA hopes to launch it in 2018 and the goal is to transport the space probe Orion, which in the future could take astronauts to the Moon or same Mars. The objective is to reach the orbit of the planet's natural satellite EARTH.

The probes sent to space will have the unprecedented technology of CubeSats, which are small nanosatellites the size of a shoebox that will be launched towards sites chosen for study and observation. Powered mainly by solar and nuclear energy, these small satellites have the mission of capturing data and records that will be sent to the EARTH for studies by scientists NASA.

Os CubeSats are relatively easy to launch — much cheaper — and will test and study some aspects of the space environment, with the aim of making space travel safer for astronauts. THE NASA hopes that one of them can get a close look at one of the asteroids orbiting close to Earth. EARTH. By the calculations of the North American space agency, the object best positioned for this approach is the 1991 VG.

Knowing more about asteroids with a trajectory close to our planet, it will be possible to know and prevent the consequences of sending a manned spacecraft into space. It will be send at least 13 CubeSats with different objectives. According to NASA, Space launch system will allow human beings to advance into deeper space.
