Launch of Kepler via Delta II Rocket on 03/07/09 (Full launch to SECO-1)

Sat, 07 Mar 2009 08:21:01 GMT

The Kepler telescope launched aboard a Delta II rocket on March 3rd, 2009 at 3:49am UTC. The Kepler Mission will use a space photometer developed by NASA to search for Earth-like planets orbiting other stars. It will observe the brightness of over 100,000 stars over 3.5 years to detect periodic transits of a star by its planets (the transit method). The mission is named in honor of Johannes Kepler. Kepler is a mission under NASA's Discovery Program of low-cost, focused science missions. NASA's Ames Research Center is the home organization of the science principal investigator and is responsible for the ground system development, mission operations and science data analysis. Kepler mission development is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. is responsible for developing the Kepler flight system.

Soyuz Expedition 18 launch - October 12th, 2008

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 03:18:04 GMT

The Expedition 18 / TMA-13 Soyuz Rocket launched on October 12th, 2008 at 7:01am UTC destined for the International Space Station. This is the full media event as seen on NASA TV. Liftoff occurs one hour in to the video, but there is some great video rolled throughout, so we decided to post the whole thing. Docking wit the International Space Station should occur October 14th at 8:38am UTC and we will be covering it *live* at http://www.spacevidcast.com/live and making the video available on-demand on your favorite video sharing site!

SpaceX reaches orbit with Falcon 1 - Flight 4

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 04:49:03 GMT

SpaceX is the only private company to ever reach earth orbit with their Falcon 1 rocket. This is the FULL 40 minute webcast from about T-10 minutes until well after SECO. We didn't want to cut out the chorus of cheering after the SpaceX crew realized that they had just made history! While Scaled Composites did reach space twice and thus winning the Ansari X PRIZE, they did not actually reach orbit. The Falcon 1 with its simulated payload is the first private vehicle to reach orbit on Sunday September 28th, 2008 at 23:31 UTC. Space flight forever changed today.

Wide Field Camera 3: Extending Hubble's Vision

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:27:04 GMT

STS-125 is just over a month away with the final servicing mission to the Hubble Telescope. To get everyone excited and prepped we have Hubble Week here on SpaceVidcast.com. In this video: The Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) will study a diverse range of objects and phenomena, from early and distant galaxy formation to nearby planetary nebulae, and finally our own backyard -- the planets and other bodies of our Solar System. This video was created by NASA and additional information can be found at http://www.nasa.gov/hubble.

Hubble Telescope Replacement: The James Webb Space Telescope

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:43:00 GMT

Last week we did a story on the Hubble telescope and the upcoming and final servicing mission to fix it up. The James Webb Space Telescope was mentioned, but not many details were given. This video found on the NASA site shows what is new with JWST, why it is better than the Hubble and a bit of what we can expect. The telescope is still being built and it is possible it will be delayed a bit, but JWST is scheduled to fly no earlier than 2013, so we have a bit of time to admire the images from Hubble a bit longer.

The story of the Hubble Space Telescope and where we go from here

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 07:53:00 GMT

On August 11th, 2008 the Hubble Telescope hit the 100,000 orbit mark! Since its launch in April of 1990 the Hubble Space Telescope has been traveling at 5 miles per second with its on-board odometer racking up around 2.72 BILLION miles! That's about 5,700 trips to the moon and back! In October of this year the STS-125 crew will be be working on the 5th and final servicing mission to Hubble. There are currently 5 spacewalks scheduled for Atlantis where astronauts will install new equipment and repair broken instruments. Once this mission is complete, NASA's favorite telescope will need to live out the remainder of its days alone in space, with no chance of repair. This is the story of the Hubble Space Telescope, or HST.

Cassini visits Saturn sending back fascinating pictures

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 09:27:00 GMT

Earlier this week NASA's Cassini spacecraft started sending some of the most detailed and fascinating pictures home of Saturn's sixth largest moon. Cassini recently began a two year extension of it's original tour of our solar system's ringed planet by taking a closer look at Enseladus. We know that Enseladus is almost entirely water ice, but many are hoping to find something more along the lines of the building blocks of life. Watch on to learn more about Cassini and see some great pics of Enseladus!

Send your message to the stars, possibly reaching alien life!

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 07:51:13 GMT

The social network site Bebo.com has allowed its community to create a ground-breaking digital time capsule that will be beamed 120 trillion miles into space. The messages should reach it's destination by 2029 and if there is intelligent life out there... they *may* send a return message. Or not. But don't let that stop you.
