The Mysterious Return Of NASA's Centaur Rocket

Ғылым және технология

At the end of 2020, astronomers discovered an old rocket booster from the 1960’s making its surprise return to Earth. In this video I will be looking at the mysterious return of NASA's centaur rocket and how scientists use spectroscopy to identify objects like this one.

    If exposure to space alters spectroscopic properties of the materials we use, it would be interesting to track the changes in these properties in something that goes up and returns many times, such as a falcon 9 booster. Their limited exposure to low pressure microgravity environments should be able to provide many data points on this.

    its not space itself, but rather solar radiation. The F9 boosters don't really get that affected by solar radiation but if you look up pictures of the Skylab station and its CSM you can see how much solar energy affects the materials. They appear rusty, corroded. The ISS has special protection against that since its more modern ofcourse.

Which creates a cloud of debree further increasing the chances of hitting something. Which causes more collisions. Worst case scenario is that the chain reaction creates a cloud of debris that prevents spaceflight for years, maybe even decades. This is known as Kesslers syndrome. Luckily only one major collision has occured. In 2009 Kosmos-2251 and Iridium-33 collided at a nearly 90 degree angle creating two debris clouds and by 2011 around 2000 fragments of 10cm or larger were catalogued.

    Objects in space can technically survive seemingly forever. I say seemingly because solar radiation will eventually degrade them, but it would take so long that the change would be insignificant for one human lifetime. On the other hand, chuck a dildo in space at high enough velocity to escape our system and it'll eventually reach another planet with sentient life, if there are any. Imagine them studying this ancient object of unknown origin and purpose.
