NASA Developing Early Warning System for Solar Flares

 

NASA has announced it is developing an early warning system for solar flares to give the Earth more time to prepare for storms, thus reducing damage. Scientists from both NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and Imperial College London published their research and experiments in Space Weather in the June 9 edition. Their research demonstrates how the new warning system can both … [Read more...]

Electromagnetic Catapult Successfully Launches Dead Load Truck into River

 

Earlier this week, the U.S. Navy began dead load testing the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EALS) on the Gerald R. Ford CVN 78. The electromagnetic slingshot launched an 80,000 pound dead load truck into the James River in Virginia. The truck reportedly weighed as much as a jet. Even though the truck wasn’t airborne for too long before hitting the water, the test … [Read more...]
