Star Trek may lull us into thinking interplanetary travel is effortless, but in fact probes sent by NASA and other space agencies take months before arriving at their destinations.
An expedition to Mars requires sophisticated technology, which must protect astronauts from lethal radiation that pervades interstellar space while also helping them endure months of microgravity conditions.
NASA’s $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope has been taking remarkable images of galaxies across space like never before. It has captured amazing photos that give a breathtaking perspective of distant galaxies.
One image, featuring galaxies from 13.4 billion years ago, showed how amazing it was that mature galaxies already existed so soon in time. Astronomers were astounded that galaxies such as these existed at such an early time in history.
Stephan’s Quintet is another impressive image. This close clustering of galaxies has grown larger over time due to gravity’s pull on them.
Searching for life beyond Earth carries with it an immense responsibility, whether we find any or not. No matter which path is taken to discover life beyond our shores, any scientist claiming they have found signs of it can bring funding, attention and trust issues down on them.
Werthimer and other SETI researchers search for what are known as technosignatures: signals sent out from civilizations such as radio or TV broadcasts and radar navigational beacons. They also look for biosignatures – any signs that indicate living organisms.
Space agencies worldwide collaborate in order to explore and utilize outer space. By employing satellites, these agencies gather data about our planet in order to make educated decisions.
This list provides all government-affiliated agencies that operate a space program. Some are known for human spaceflight programs while others boast the largest budgets.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is software technology that enables the creation of bots to automate digital tasks performed by humans. By instructing your bots what to do, they can handle business processes 24/7 with greater speed and reliability, freeing employees up for more-value work.
Establishing a Center of Excellence (CoE) is crucial to the successful implementation of RPA technology, helping ensure faster scalability and compliance. This involves setting clear standards for industry automation as well as creating an extensive governance strategy.
