Flying Saucer

A Twitter user shared a picture of a flying saucer in Delhi which turned out to be a water tower.

MIT researchers are trying a new concept to harness the Moon's natural charge to keep hovering rovers in the air. In the absence of an atmosphere, the Moon and asteroids build an electric field through direct exposure to the Sun. On the Moon, this strong surface charge can levitate dust more than one metre above the ground.

MIT has shown this off in a proof of concept experience where a 60-gram model rover which is approximately the size of a person's hand.

Is NASA trying to cover up a UFO sighting? Conspiracy theorists and alien chasers sure think so, claiming the live feed from the International Space Station was cut just as a mysterious object appeared above Earth's horizon.

An international team has found unexpectedly cold dust grains in a planet-forming disc nicknamed the "Flying Saucer", about 400 light-years from Earth.

After a series of weather-related delays, NASA has successfully tested its revolutionary "flying saucer" that will help land heavier payloads on the surface of long-distance planets, including Mars.

A similar problem bedevilled the Low Density Supersonic Decelerator's (LDSD) debut run last year.

NASA launched a giant balloon Monday carrying a kind of "flying saucer" that will test technologies for landing on Mars, but its outsized parachute only partly deployed.

Nasa on its blog said it would evaluate a Monday launch opportunity.

First high waves in the Pacific Ocean and now ill winds are playing spoilsport for the launch of NASA's "flying saucer" from a test range in Hawaii.

Bad weather led the US space agency to postpone until Friday the first test of the largest parachute ever deployed, with the view of one day using it to land on Mars.

With the goal of sending humans to Mars in the 2030s, Nasa is a new generation of parachute technology known as the Supersonic Ringsail Parachute.

The US space agency plans to try out the largest parachute ever deployed Wednesday during a flying saucer launch that will test new technologies for landing on Mars.

LDSD test vehicle will be carried aloft by a large weather balloon at 10pm IST on Tuesday in Hawaii.
