I wonder how likely it is that the first astronaut on Mars will not be American? NASA outsource many of its projects to private companies. I don’t think that private achievements can be equated with national ones. I wonder when the first private space megacorporation will appear?

Yes. And also the space tug is small enough to be part of a payload. This means you can split the launch cost with another payload. Hope to see when this is brought to life. Maybe they'll come up with something else. It seems to me that in the future there will be new rules for everything that...

I found one pretty clear program from the new space company. Here is how they see it: https://www.skyrora.com/post/skyrora-s-space-tug-gives-space-sustainability-dream-a-lift And here the device itself is described: https://www.skyrora.com/space-tug A clear deadline, regularly and successfully...

I hope they'll find something worthwhile on Mars. The more valuable the find, the greater the chances of colonizing the red planet. I wonder if NASA will share information about anything of value? Or will there be secret manned missions to Mars later?

May be. Additional taxes though ... It seems more likely to me that cleaning equipment should be part of the rocket's payload. It could be a multipurpose space tug that, in one mission, can launch a satellite into orbit, correct the orbit of another satellite, and remove one large or several...

The 18th Space Control Squadron of the Space Force (USA) is engaged in monitoring space debris and preventing possible accidents. It tracks all objects in space and predicts possible incidents with the help of radar and optical surveillance equipment. The unit works with both commercial...

As far as I understand, this method is already recognized as ineffective. The cost of using such a device will many times exceed the possible losses from space debris. Space tugs are being discussed that can correct the orbit of satellites to extend their lifespan. Also, such a device must be...

Most space debris is created during explosions or collisions of spacecraft. Also, one of the major sources of space debris is the testing of anti-satellite weapons. For example, in 2007, China destroyed its FengYun-1C satellite with a medium-range missile. After the destruction of the satellite...
