issue of Science reporter on page 26 has Planetary Resources Project
Science reporter monthly magazine subscription The primary aim of Planetary Resources is to visit
multiple Near Earth
Asteroids and identify those that have the best sources of water. They intend to
gather vital information necessary for setting up commercial mines that will
harvest water for use in space. Science reporter monthly magazine subscription They have zeroed in on Near Earth Asteroids
because they find them to be more
accessible than the moon. Planetary Resources launched their Arkyd-6 spacecraft into orbit on 12 January 2018. Science reporter monthly magazine subscription The spacecraft
includes the
core technology that is being used in the company's asteroid exploration
programme, hindi science magazine which includes a
mid-wave infrared
sensor, second-generation avionics, power systems, communications, and
attitude determination and control systems. The A6 instrument on board Arkyd-6 is a broadband imager spanning 3 to
5 microns within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This region is
sensitive to the presence of water
-including that in hydrated minerals and thermal energy, allowing it to be used
as a tool to search for water on Earth and
beyond. It is capable of detecting water on near Earth asteroids. hindi science magazine The results of the Arkyd-6 mission will give the information that the company
needs before it launches exploratory multiple spacecrafts to asteroids, which the company
intends to do in 2020. The spacecrafts are
planned to be deployed by a single rocket launch. hindi science magazine The rocket will
carry the exploration spacecraft just beyond the influence of Earth's gravity
where they will continue their journey using low thrust ion propulsion systems.
