Why do astronauts wear gold visors? Can you imagine wearing 24-karat gold instead of a ski mask and admiring the sunrise every 45 minutes? Welcome to the lunar day of the Artemis III astronauts! Oakley, the iconic brand that has been setting milestones in eyewear for extreme athletes for 50 years, has developed a unique two-piece visor with High-Definition Optics (HDO) technology in collaboration with Axiom Space and NASA, which astronauts will test on the lunar surface.

Polaris Dawn: A Groundbreaking Civilian Space Mission That Opens the Door to the Future of Commercial Space Exploration https://citymagazine.si/en/polaris-dawn-a-groundbreaking-civilian-space-mission-that-opens-the-door-to-the-future-of-commercial-space-exploration/ Wed, 11 Sep 2024 12:14:43 +0000 https://citymagazine.si/en/?p=610812

In the early hours of September 10, after several weeks of delays, the SpaceX Dragon capsule took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carrying four private astronauts on the historic Polaris Dawn mission. This is the first step towards ground-breaking civilian space exploration, as the crew will attempt the first commercial civilian spacewalk. This ambitious mission is designed as the first of three under the Polaris program funded by billionaire Jared Isaacman.

Our space explorations are taking a new level with NASA's latest acquisition – the Lunar Terrain Electric Vehicle (LTV), which is being developed by Lunar Outpost in collaboration with big names like Lockheed Martin, General Motors, Goodyear and MDA Space. The vehicle, which forms a key part of Artemis' campaign to establish a permanent base on the Moon, promises to make exploration of this mysterious satellite faster, more efficient and safer.

NASA has unveiled the first prototype of its next-generation spacesuit, designed for the first astronauts expected to return to the lunar surface as part of the Artemis program. This newly designed suit is more streamlined, flexible and fits men and women better than the bulky, puffy white lunar suit worn by the Apollo astronauts. The new spacesuits, called the "Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit," or AxEMU for short, will include advances in life support systems, pressure suits and avionics.

Want a replica of the golden gramophone record that explains humanity to aliens? In 1977, the American agency NASA had a big dream. They wanted to find the Aliens and make contact with them. With this purpose, the probes Voyager I and Voyager II were sent into space, which also carried a time capsule in the form of a golden gramophone record, which carries images of our civilization and teaches about humanity. Among other things, about how we reproduce, how we transport ourselves and what we eat. We greet the aliens in 55 languages (also in Serbo-Croatian, which was the official language of Yugoslavia at the time: "We wish you all the best from our planet"), and they can also play different genres of music and typical sounds of our planet. There are playback instructions on the back of the disc. On the 40th anniversary of the launch, you can for approx. For 90 euros, consider the jubilee replica of The Voyager Golden Record: 40th Anniversary Edition, which also comes with a book.

Since 2003, jet passenger planes have not been flying in the air, that is, planes that fly faster than sound, but thanks to the American space agency NASA, we are one step closer to the return of these steel birds.

50 years ago, on June 3, 1965, Ed White became the first NASA astronaut to perform a spacewalk. It lasted 23 minutes. For the Americans, the Gemini 4 mission several hundred kilometers above the Earth was a major turning point in space exploration, and White successfully tested the propulsion mechanism and space suit. And if you think you read about the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the first spacewalk months ago, your memory is correct. The first spacewalker was the Russian Alexei Leonov, who succeeded in his feat on March 18 of the same year.

25 years of the Hubble Space Telescope https://citymagazine.si/en/25-years-of-the-hubble-space-telescope/ Fri, 24 Apr 2015 17:41:15 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=157801

The Hubble Space Telescope celebrates 25 years. Since it was put into Earth's orbit a quarter of a century ago, it has greatly changed our view of space. The venerable jubilee, which will be celebrated in 60 places in Europe alone, is an opportunity to take a look at what the famous telescope has contributed. He certainly had a hand in many astronomical discoveries, including helping to figure out the size and age of the universe, which is why it originally came into being.

A walk through the history of spacesuits https://citymagazine.si/en/a-walk-through-the-history-of-space-suits/ Wed, 04 Mar 2015 11:10:20 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=145029

It is true that we walked into space for the first time "only" in 1961, but a walk through the history of spacesuits takes us back as much as 80 years. And before they became orange and white spacesuits, reminiscent of a rubber man from Michelin and an elite soldier for disarming bombs, they were closer to diving suits. Otherwise, since the 1960s, space fashion has not undergone drastic changes, but it has drastically advanced in technology.

NASA: Photos that prove how fast our planet is changing https://citymagazine.si/en/nasa-photos-that-prove-how-fast-the-planet-is-changing/ Fri, 27 Feb 2015 07:15:26 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=143126

Glaciers are melting, seas are disappearing, cities are growing - this is what NASA satellite images show. These allow us to look at how humans are changing landscapes around the world. These are before and after photos that prove how quickly our planet is changing.

On January 5, NASA took the world's largest photo with a whopping 1.5 billion pixels (69,536 x 22,230). It is an image of the Andromeda Galaxy, our Milky Way's closest neighbor, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (NASA/ESA).

HAVOC – a floating city on Venus where humanity migrates https://citymagazine.si/en/havoc-floating-city-on-venus-where-humanity-migrates/ Mon, 22 Dec 2014 05:35:30 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=126231

Although many people think that Mars is our next stop, since it is in many ways the mirror image of Earth, NASA has been toying with the idea of life on Venus, which is also called Earth's evil twin, for some time. They developed the concept of a floating city that would grow in its atmosphere and enable permanent settlement. The project is called HAVOC.

NASA's beautiful vintage photos from space https://citymagazine.si/en/nasas-wonderful-vintage-photos-from-space/ Thu, 21 Aug 2014 04:55:37 +0000

The second half of the last century was the golden age of space discovery, when people watched the first steps of man on the moon with enthusiasm in front of their television screens. The most beautiful photos taken by the first explorers during their visits to the limitless depths of dark space today have a wonderful vintage feel and resemble polaroids, which, despite the infinity of space, seem intimate, which makes them downright magical.

No, this is not an unsalted joke. A car that leaves behind not octane fumes, but the smell of the sea (well, at least imaginary). Do not pour gasoline or diesel into it, nor salt water directly. Although such technology might be able to stop sea level rise. A bone to gnaw on, scientists?

The time is getting closer when we can become real Captains Kirk and Spock. From the NASA space center comes the concept of a warp-drive ship, the 'new-age' Enterprise, which will move interplanetary flights from movie screens to reality, and above all significantly shorten them.

A stunning view of the Earth from the Landsat 8 satellite https://citymagazine.si/en/stunning-view-of-the-earth-from-the-satellite-landsat-8/ Sun, 16 Feb 2014 07:02:18 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=49952

Launched into space last year, the Landsat 8 satellite is capturing incredible images of Earth. But its meaning goes much deeper than just bringing beautiful images, because with its monitoring, it has a significant impact on the understanding of nature and its phenomena, and at the same time it significantly influences the positive development of a wide variety of disciplines.
