Kepler telescope
Launched in March 2009 with the aim of gathering data about bodies in other planetary systems.
Uses transit photometry to detect the presence of planets – if the light from a star dims periodically this indicates a planet passing in front of it.Slide4
EM-drive
Originally designed
around the year 2000 by Roger
Shawyer
.
It’s currently being tested by scientists at NASA, and is scheduled by a different organisation for testing in space on board a
cubesat
.Slide5
Media
‘Interstellar’ was praised for integrating real physics into its plot.
Newer forms of media are being used to promote space exploration – many recent missions have had livestreamed coverage.Slide6
SpaceX
The Interplanetary Transport System is planned to carry 100 tonnes of cargo, and will stand taller than Big Ben.
The ‘Interplanetary Spaceship’ stage
of the ITS will
be taken to orbit, then refuelled before travel by a tanker launched separately.Slide7
Mars
Colonisation
Given a significant public drive, authorities on space exploration expect such a project to be underway by 2040. Additionally, Elon Musk is aiming for self-sufficiency within 100 years.
Major long-term economic drivers for continued colonisation may include access to the asteroid belt for mining.Slide8Slide9
