Ever wondered how NASA got the Shuttles onto those planes? They used this monster of a machine.
It's to help them take photos of far off planets when the complete absence of light is required.
NASA think that it's developed a flight system that can complete long endurance flight as well take-off and land vertically. The secret? Hybrid power.
This is how astronauts release nanosatellites into space: they throw them. OK, deploy might be a better word. Still, throwing satellites sounds like a ball.
Back in 2012 a meteor broke up in the sky above California. Now, using a fragment that landed in someone's roof, NASA has revealed more about the meteorite in question.
