#NASA officials sound alarm over future of the #DeepSpaceNetwork. #DSN, a collection of antennas in California, Spain, and Australia maintain contact with missions scattered across #SolarSystem.
"I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to put up #CubeSats with #ArtemisI." 8 CubeSats were tracked with DSN. But limited resources and only so many antennas, DSN had to turn away from NASA's other science missions to focus on #Orion #spacecraft and CubeSats flying with it. https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/08/nasas-artemis-i-mission-nearly-broke-the-deep-space-network/

I found this peculiar thing on eBay, a scan of the editorial page to a 1962 special issue of the magazine Royal Airforce Flying Review.
I'll let the accompanying text speak for itself. But I'll add that I can only presume that it was a one-off for the purposes of showing off and not at all a serious proposal, otherwise you'd think there would be some other documentation of it.
The original was at an oblique angle, so I fixed that in PS and did some other cleanup.
#India successfully launched its first #space mission to study the #sun on Sat, ~1 week after becoming the 1st country to land an unmanned robotic #spacecraft near the moon’s south pole.
The #AdityaL1’s mission is to observe the outer atmosphere of the sun.
“The vehicle has placed the #satellite precisely into its intended #orbit. India’s first #solar #observatory has begun its journey to the destination of Sun-Earth L1 point,” the #ISRO said.

Back to some space history neepery, hmm? I've previously spoken of the 1964 World's Fair in New York City as a last gasp of 20th century techno-optimism, and this is a little bit more from it. It's art of the Hall of Science's "movie hall", showing a Martin Marietta station and spaceship. It was printed in the Souvenir Book of the fair.

I just wrote about the cosmic collapse of Russia, and on the other hand India joins the race to conquer space and you have to admit that it looks good! India is becoming a powerhouse in more and more areas, because it is like China with the difference that more people speak English there, which gives them a significant advantage 😉
