  • Pioneer slowing anomaly caused by thermally-induced infra-red photon thrust

    Updated: 2012-07-31 11:32:17
    Hyperbola: The mysterious slight slowing of the NASA Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes which were launched in hte early 1970s has been explained. According to the scientists at JPL (Jet Propulsion Labororatory in Pasadena) reporting in Physical Review Letters, the slight decelerration can be traced to a heating effect from the now distant space probes' power systems. The scientists describe the effect as being anagolous to thrust being caused by photons from a light souce. In this instance it is the thermally induced emission of infra-red photons that is causing the deceleration.

    Chartered flights for satellites Space blog Chartered flights for satellites Virgin Galactic and SSTL’s American operation , SST-US , are collaborating to radically lower the cost of building and launching small satellites . Alternative launches aren’t new but are currently an area of such frenetic activity that we thought we’d take a step back and look at space planes’ and their potential to lower launch . costs Whereas conventional rockets’ used to launch satellites require purpose built launch pads , space planes are able to take off from normal runways and land back on them too , making them reusable and broadening launch opportunities . Virgin Galactic is just one example of many budding space plane projects : ESA has proposed the Vinci space plane and the sleek black Skylon ,
