While the craters, highlands and maria are the moon’s three main landforms, the moon’s surface has a number of other highly visible features. For example, some impact craters have bright rays that shoot outward from the center. Also, the moon has a number of rilles, which are long, thin tunnels or trenches.

The Moon’s weak atmosphere and its lack of liquid water cannot support life as we know it.

The Outer Space Treaty means therefore that – no matter whose national flags are planted on the lunar surface – no nation can ‘own’ the Moon. As of 2019, 109 nations are bound by the Treaty, and another 23 have signed the agreement but have yet to be officially recognised.

Though the Moon has no liquid water, in 2018 NASA confirmed it does exist on the surface in ice form. Settlers would use this water for drinking, and extract the hydrogen and oxygen for rocket fuel. And they would also save some for another key element of survival – growing food.

In 2007, scientists discovered that inactive tardigrades are so tough they can survive the harsh radiation and frigid vacuum of space travel. And so it came to be that there is life on the moon, probably.

The team found that the radiation exposure on the Moon is 1,369 microsieverts per day – about 2.6 times higher than the International Space Station crew’s daily dose.

As planned, the Moon Impact Probe impacted the lunar south pole at 15:01 UTC on 14 November 2008. It carried with it a picture of the Indian flag. India is now the fourth nation to place a flag on the Moon after the Soviet Union, United States and Japan.

Since the nylon flag was purchased from a government catalog, it was not designed to handle the harsh conditions of space. A review of photographs taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) indicates that flags placed during the Apollo 12, Apollo 16, and Apollo 17 missions were still standing as of 2012.

The third mission to the Moon or Chandrayaan-3, under which ISRO aims to land a rover on the satellite, has been delayed due to the coronavirus-induced pandemic and is now likely to lift off in 2022. …

KARACHI, Pakistan Pakistan will send its first-ever human being into space in 2022, Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhry announced on Thursday. “Proud to announce that selection process for the first Pakistani to be sent to space shall begin from Feb 2020,” he shared.

With the purchase made from China of the Pakistan Remote Sensing System (PRSS-1) and the indigenously built Technology Evaluation Satellite (PAKTES-1A), in 2018 Pakistan saw both these satellites launched into orbit via China’s own Long March rockets.

You might be wondering just how many missions and how many people have been to the Moon. In fact, during nine Apollo missions, 24 astronauts went to the Moon, and 12 of them had the opportunity to walk on it. In 1961, after the Soviet Union sent the first man, Yuri Gagarin, into space to orbit Earth, Pres.

Chandrayaan-2: Pakistan could never reach the Moon because it didn’t have its own Nehru.

The Pakistani mass media scenario is very dynamic and has witnessed the most robust growth. Today, there are more than 90 Satellite TV Channels, 4983 cable operators, 34 landing TV Channels from abroad like BBC, CNN etc. and 210 FM Radio Stations.

The focus of Pakistan’s space programme is to promote the peaceful exploration and applications of space science and space technology. While pursuing this goal, a spin-off of far-reaching significance is building up scientific and technical potential through the training of personnel and development of facilities.

Aspiring astronauts need to have a master’s degree, usually in a STEM field. You must also complete two years of training and pass the notoriously hard NASA physical. Those interested in space can find jobs as scientists, engineers, or astronomers.

Not every STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) degree will qualify you to be an astronaut. NASA is looking for people with a degree in engineering, biological science, physical science (like physics, chemistry or geology), computer science or mathematics.

A 30-movement agility test also tackles eye and body coordination. In this physical challenge, astronauts are tested on how long it takes them to complete 30 movements. This exercise in particular is very challenging for astronauts when they return from space since their eye and body coordination is off.

Additional requirements include the ability to pass the NASA long-duration space flight physical, which includes the following specific requirements: Distant and near visual acuity must be correctable to 20/20 in each eye, blood pressure not to exceed 140/90 measured in a sitting position, and the candidate must have a …
