A film team led by my old friend David Knight spent the past year capturing imagery from the final missions of the Space Shuttle program in 3D. The team gained extraordinary access to the Shuttles ...

This 3D model shows the now-retired space shuttle blasting off in a vast plume of smoke. Which space shuttle? Atlantis was the last space shuttle to see active service before the program was ...

The device was aboard the Virgin Galactic 07 crewed suborbital space mission. Scientists with the University of California, Berkeley, have carried out successful tests of a next-gen microgravity ...

But three exhibits, out of them all, stand above: The SR-71 Blackbird, the Concorde, and the Space Shuttle Discovery. Since my childhood trips to Air and Space, I've loved all three of those planes.

While the 3D printer owner in me is impressed by the quality of the final piece, the space nerd in me has to say that this isn’t a particularly good rendition of the Space Shuttle. The wingtips ...

The 3D communities of microorganisms (called biofilms) grown aboard the space shuttle had more live cells, were thicker and had more biomass than the bacterial colonies grown in normal gravity on ...

Today we're looking at how the regenerative cooling channels on Space Shuttle's main combustion chamber were manufactured.

Pointed away from Earth about 404 miles overhead, the orbital observatory will circle the planet from north to south about 14.5 times each day as it images a single, circular strip of the sky. Given ...

[Breaking Taps] has the story of NASA engineers who needed some special cooling chambers in a rocket design for the Space Shuttle. Today you’d 3D print them, but in the 70s, that wasn’t an option.

Today we're looking at how the regenerative cooling channels on Space Shuttle's main combustion chamber ... technique to mimic what we can do with 3D printing nowadays. 'Golf Is All He Has Left ...

The Department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University is partnering with Canopy Aerospace to test next-generation materials.

Plans were well underway to launch the Space Shuttle at Vandenberg in the early 1980s. The shuttle was what a rocket could never be: A flying aircraft with a human pilot. The insulting phrase for ...
