Jeromejnr: Still more shitty dumb nonsense as usual. There is no hope for you. The earth's orbit is still part of space. There isn't a strict line that defines space. The ISS is in the part of space that's still influenced by earth's gravity and far enough that gravity creates the orbit. I have already told you that gravity does most of the maneuvering of the ISS. And the propulsion is just a simple nudging. Nothing special about it. It's the same nudging propulsion that is used to move to move astronauts in space. Stop writing nonsense. |

1 hr 24 min ago "Worst is yet to come": Putin told Macron he will continue war in Ukraine, Élysée Palace source says From CNN's Nathan Hodge in Moscow and CNN’s Xiaofei Xu and Anaëlle Jonah in Paris Russian President Vladimir Putin told his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron that he will continue military operations in Ukraine during a 90-minute call initiated by Putin, an Élysée Palace source told reporters at a briefing on Thursday. “This conversation is unfortunately an occasion to hear that President Putin will continue military interventions and to go all the way,” according to the Élysée source. “[The call] allowed the President of the Republic to return to the disagreements we have with Russia, to plead for the diplomatic alternative to military operations, to tell the truth to President Putin about the way we see his war in Ukraine but also the consequences it will have for Russia in the long term,” the source continued. The Élysée source said "the worst is yet to come" in Ukraine following Macron’s phone call with Putin. "Without making a prediction, we should expect the worst is yet to come. The (French) president said so yesterday as well. There is nothing in what Putin said today that should reassure us," the source said. Meanwhile, Russian state news agency TASS said Putin and Macron had "a frank exchange of views on the situation around Ukraine," the Kremlin's press service said Thursday. A Kremlin pool report from the Russian state news agency RIA-Novosti said the discussion was difficult, with Putin alleging the Ukraine had carried out a "seven-year sabotage" of the Minsk agreements, a peace process that was definitely ended by the Russian government in its recent recognition of two separatist republics in Ukraine's east. The two sides agreed to keep the door of dialogue open, according to both the Russians and the French. RIA's report added that Putin warned the West that if Russian-Ukrainian negotiations drag on, then Moscow will have new demands on Kyiv, and that the tasks of the "special military operation" — Russia's euphemism for its war in Ukraine — would be carried out in any case. According to the Élysée source, Putin also denied having bombarded Kyiv and warned that the situation will worsen, but it’s the fault of Ukraine. In response, Macron warned Putin that he is making a huge mistake, according to the source. Macron reiterated that Moscow’s demands of neutralizing and disarming Ukraine are unacceptable, and the responsibility of this conflict falls entirely on Putin. But Macron also said that there is still time for diplomacy and dialogue to address Russia’s concerns and include Russia’s interests; however, the discussion can’t happen “under Russian control” and had to be organized by international partners, according to the source. Macron also asked Putin to respect the Ukrainian president, his family, relatives, state officials and elected representatives, according to the source. After his call with Putin, Macron spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. |

Russia cuts off rocket engine supply and threatens space station partnership ‘Let them fly on something else, their broomsticks,’ said Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russia’s space agency By Christian Davenport Today at 12:02 p.m. EST Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, said Thursday it would no longer service the RD-180 rocket engines that are used by the United Launch Alliance, the joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Boeing, to launch national security missions for the Pentagon. Get the full experience. Choose your plan It also said it would cut off the supply of the RD-181 engines used in Northrop Grumman’s Antares rocket, which is used to fly cargo and supplies to the International Space Station. “In a situation like this, we can’t supply the United States with our world’s best rocket engines,” Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Roscosmos, said on Russian state television, according to Reuters. “Let them fly on something else, their broomsticks, I don’t know what.” Russia’s decision to withdraw any technical support probably would not affect any upcoming launches. ULA’s CEO Tory Bruno has said the company has been using the engines in its Atlas V rocket for years and has enough expertise in house to handle any issues that might arise with its engine supply. In a statement, ULA spokesman Jessica Rye said the company has “agreements for technical support and spares, but if that support is not available, we will still be able to safely and successfully fly out our Atlas program.” After an effort to end reliance on the Russian engines for national security missions that was spearheaded by the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), ULA moved to develop another rocket, called Vulcan, that would use American-made engines supplied by Blue Origin , the space venture founded by Jeff Bezos. (Bezos owns The Washington Post.) Those BE-4 engines have been delayed, but Bruno has said he expects to receive them this year and be able to start flying Vulcan. Officials from Northrop Grumman and NASA did not immediately respond to requests for comment on how the lack of the RD-181 engines would affect any upcoming Antares launches to the space station. Rogozin on Wednesday also threatened the partnership that has sustained the space station for more than 20 years. Speaking on Russia Today, a state-controlled English-language station, he said through a translator that Russia “will closely monitor the actions of our American partners and, if they continue to be hostile, we will return to the question of the existence of the International Space Station.” That followed a series of tweets from last week asking whether the United States wanted to ruin the cooperation in operating the station. Rogozin reminded President Biden that Russia is responsible for firing the thrusters that keep the station in the correct orbit and said that without Russia , the station could come crashing down. He reiterated that point in his appearance on Russia Today, saying that the United States would “want to maintain cooperation with Russia within the International Space Station despite the numerous sanctions.” “Why?” he asked. “Because it is impossible to manage the space station without us. We’re responsible for its navigation and fuel delivery.” NASA has sought to avoid any talk of ending its partnership with Russia. Earlier this week, Kathy Lueders, NASA’s associate administrator for space operations, said the two space agencies “are still talking together. We’re still doing training together. We’re still working together. Obviously, we understand the global situation and where it is, but as a joint team, these teams are operating together.” She added, “Obviously we need to continue to monitor the situation. … We’ve operated in these kinds of situations before and both sides always operated very professionally and understand the importance of this fantastic mission and continuing to have peaceful relations between the two countries in space.” Later this month, NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei is scheduled to return from the space station with a pair of Russian cosmonauts on a Russian spacecraft. When asked about that flight, Lueders said NASA was still expecting Russia to fly Vande Hei home safely and that no changes had been made. Also on Thursday, OneWeb, which manufactures satellites designed to provide Internet connectivity, announced it was suspending all launches from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, where Russia launches its Soyuz rocket. The company had been scheduled to launch its next batch of satellites from there on Friday. Rogozin said Russia would allow the launch only if the British government divested its stake in the company and if the satellites would not be used for military purposes.

Nasa Nasa explores how to keep international space station in orbit without Russian help Space agency says Northrop Grumman and SpaceX could assist after Russia raises prospect of pulling out over sanctions punishing its invasion of Ukraine Ukraine Russia news: latest updates Agence France-Presse Tue 1 Mar 2022 03.20 GMT International Space Station will plummet to a watery grave in 2031 Read more Nasa is exploring ways to keep the international space station in orbit without Russian help, but doesn’t see any immediate signs Moscow is withdrawing from the collaboration after the invasion of Ukraine . The US side of the international space station (ISS) supplies power and life support, Russia is responsible for propulsion and keeping the station afloat: it does this by using docked Progress spacecraft to periodically give the station a boost to maintain its altitude of approximately 400km (250 miles). Last week, though, Russia’s Roscosmos space chief Dmitry Rogozin raised the prospect of pulling out of the partnership in response to US sanctions. Kathy Lueders, who heads the agency’s human spaceflight program, said US aerospace and defense company Northrop Grumman had offered a reboost capability. “And, you know, our SpaceX folks are looking at can we have additional capability,” she said. Lueders added that operations at the space station were proceeding “nominally” and “we’re not getting any indications at a working level that our counterparts are not committed”. “That said, we always look for how do we get more operational flexibility and our cargo providers are looking at how do we add different capabilities,” she said. The last Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo vessel that arrived at the ISS on 21 February was the first to boast a capacity to “reboost” the outpost without Russian help. On Friday, SpaceX boss Elon Musk tweeted his company’s logo in response to Rogozin’s rhetorical question about who would save the ISS from an uncontrolled de-orbit. But Lueders stressed that such plans were a contingency measure only. “It would be very difficult for us to be operating on our own – ISS is an international partnership that was created … with joint dependencies,” she said. “As a team, we are looking at where we may have operational flexibilities, but … it would be a sad day for international operations if we can’t continue to peacefully operate in space,” she said. A symbol of post cold war detente, the ISS has been continuously habited for more than 21 years and has weathered past geopolitical storms, notably Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014. But some observers believe the invasion of Ukraine could hasten the demise of US-Russian space cooperation. |

Athemisia: If you say the most powerful rocket motor I will agree. But the most powerful rocket engines, the top 3 are all American: Falcon Heavy, Delta Four and the famous Space shuttle. The Russian Energia system that is also famous for ferrying most of ISS components to build the station and astronauts when the Space shuttle fleet was retired comes in fourth and in fifth is another famous but retired American workhorse, the indefatigable Saturn V that put man on the moon for the first time and in the process set an unbeatable record for space payload of 77 tons, unmatched till today..... well except that Musk intends to strap two more Falcon 9 boosters making the possibility of a Mars trip all the more a reality.
