The Zarya spacecraft was a secret Soviet project of the late 1980s aiming to design and build a large, crewed, vertical takeoff, vertical landing (VTVL) reusable space capsule, a much larger replacement for the Soyuz (spacecraft). The project was shelved in 1989, shortly before the Soviet Union's collapse. Rockwell X-30 (USA, 1986–1993)
Flight path of the Apollo 11 human lunar landing mission, July 1969. Spacecraft flight dynamics is the application of mechanical dynamics to model how the external forces acting on a space vehicle or spacecraft determine its flight path. These forces are primarily of three types: propulsive force provided by the vehicle's engines; gravitational ...
SpaceX has privately funded the development of orbital launch systems that can be reused many times, similar to the reusability of aircraft. SpaceX has developed technologies over the last decade to facilitate full and rapid reuse of space launch vehicles. The project's long-term objectives include returning a launch vehicle first stage to the ...
The soft Odysseus landing also qualifies the Odysseus mission as the first liquid methane and liquid oxygen powered spacecraft to fire beyond low earth orbit, as well as the first methalox spacecraft to land on an off-world celestial body. After the landing Odysseus was resting on the surface at a 30° angle with the horizontal.
The Lanyue ( Chinese: 揽月; pinyin: lǎn yuè; lit. 'embracing the moon') lander, formerly known as the China crewed lunar surface lander ( 中国载人月面着陆器) or simply as the lunar surface lander ( 月面着陆器 ), is a spacecraft under development by the China Academy of Space Technology. The purpose of the lander is to carry ...
STS-28 was the 30th NASA Space Shuttle mission, the fourth shuttle mission dedicated to United States Department of Defense (DoD) purposes, and the eighth flight of Space Shuttle Columbia. The mission launched on August 8, 1989, and traveled 3,400,000 km (2,100,000 mi) during 81 orbits of the Earth, before landing on runway 17 of Edwards Air ...
The Soyuz 11 landing coordinates are , 90 kilometers (56 mi) southwest of Karazhal, Karagandy, Kazakhstan, and about 550 kilometers (340 mi) northeast of Baikonur, in open flat country far from any populated area. In a small circular fenced area at the site is a memorial monument in the form of a three-sided metallic column.
