Смысл: The main idea is that ESA has proven the viability of Air-Breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP), which allows satellites to use the thin atmosphere of a planet as fuel, potentially enabling indefinite missions in very low orbits.
ESA has successfully tested an ion engine that uses atmospheric air instead of onboard gas, enabling satellites to stay in very low orbits indefinitely.
Смысл: Russian scientists have developed an eco-friendly and safe maneuvering engine for CubeSats that operates on a 40% alcohol-water solution, utilizing supercapacitors for power and enabling small satellites to perform complex orbital tasks.
Samara University researchers created a safe, eco-friendly CubeSat maneuvering engine using a 40% alcohol-water mixture and supercapacitors for power.
Смысл: The text describes the development and initial testing of NASA's HERTS electric sail, a propulsion system that uses solar wind protons to reach the edge of the solar system significantly faster than previous probes.
NASA is testing the HERTS electric sail, which uses charged wires to harness solar wind protons for rapid travel to the heliopause.
Смысл: The main idea is that NASA's NEXT ion engine has proven its long-term reliability and extreme fuel efficiency by operating continuously for 5.5 years during testing, paving the way for future deep-space missions.
NASA's NEXT ion engine set a record by running continuously for 5.5 years, demonstrating the efficiency and durability needed for deep-space exploration.
Смысл: The main idea is that the successful deployment of the Japanese Ikaros spacecraft proves that solar sailing—once a science fiction trope—is a viable technology for the future of long-distance, fuel-less space exploration.
The Japanese Ikaros mission has successfully deployed a solar sail in space, turning a science fiction concept into a reality for future deep-space travel.
Смысл: The main idea is the successful reactivation of a long-dormant engine on the Voyager 1 probe to compensate for failing orientation thrusters, thereby extending the mission's lifespan.
NASA successfully fired a dormant engine on Voyager 1 after 37 years, extending the distant probe's operational life by 2-3 years.
Смысл: The text explains how the Intelsat 31 mission was saved from failure after an engine malfunction on the second stage of a Proton-M rocket, highlighting the pivotal role of adaptive digital control systems.
A technical analysis of how adaptive control systems and upper-stage efficiency saved the Intelsat 31 satellite after a second-stage engine failure on a Proton-M rocket.
