The Energia Vulkan design was the largest of the Energia concepts with eight Zenit booster rockets and an Energia-M core as the upper stage, the Vulkan (which shared the name with another Soviet heavy lift rocket that was cancelled years earlier) configuration was initially projected to launch up to 200 metric tonnes into 200 km orbit with inclination 50.7°
The development of the Vulkan and the refurbishment of Universal Test Stand and Launch Pad at site 250 for its launches was in progress between 1990–1993 and abandoned soon after due to a lack of funds and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The simulator, essential for pilot training, also plays a pivotal role in designing our new Delta fleet. It’s used by various engineering disciplines to ensure systems are spaceflight-ready. Join us in #DeltaDiaries as Virgin Galactic Pilot Jameel Janjua discusses its importance in developing our Delta Class spaceships.
Welcome to Virgin Galactic – The Spaceline for Earth.
The Boeing X-20 Dyna-Soar (“Dynamic Soarer”) was a United States Air Force (USAF) program to develop a spaceplane that could be used for a variety of military missions, including aerial reconnaissance, bombing, space rescue, satellite maintenance, and as a space interceptor to sabotage enemy satellites.

The F-111 started out as a cost-saving aircraft to work for both the USAF and the US Navy but ended up being rejected by the Navy, however, it went on to be on of the most trusted assets for the USAF for the next 30 years and its advanced design inspired a generation of high-performance swing-wing fighters and bombers in the US, Soviet Union, and Europe over the next 2 decades.
This is the story of the F-111 Aardvark.

Stars give warmth and light to planets and make life possible, until they run out of fuel and die themselves, but could these dead stars still enable life to dwell around them?
На уроке школьники познакомятся с принципами движения в атмосфере и космосе, узнают, как управляют космическими аппаратами.
Из студии Роскосмос Медиа на вопросы ребят ответят ведущий инженер-испытатель отдела эргономического обеспечения и проектирования деятельности экипажей РКК «Энергия» Евгений Прокопьев и космонавт Сергей Корсаков. С борта МКС к уроку присоединится космонавт Александр Гребёнкин.
25 апреля наши космонавты Олег Кононенко и Николай Чуб выйдут за борт Международной космической станции для установки научной аппаратуры на модуле «Поиск».
Открытие выходного люка модуля «Поиск» — 17:55 мск.
Плановая продолжительность выхода — 6 часов 36 минут.
Это будет первый выход в 2024 году. Для Олега Кононенко, который будет облачен в скафандр «Орлан-МКС» № 5 с красными полосками, он станет седьмым в космической карьере, для Николая Чуба в скафандре «Орлан-МКС» № 4 с синими полосками — вторым.
Trace the historic expansion of our farthest horizons in the discoveries of our solar system, our galaxy, and our local cosmic neighborhood… all within the vast, expanding and seemingly limitless expanse of the universe.
This groundbreaking series follows a trail of energy into the power centers of the universe. Each program visualizes these strange and violent realms based on current science, including state of the art supercomputer simulations of cosmic events. Dive into the heart of a supermassive black hole, fly down onto toxic alien planets and ride along the roiling surface of a star that’s about to explode.
How discoveries made by Apollo Astronauts redefined our understanding of the birth of the moon, and the evolution of Planet Earth.
