NASA F-15 Flights Validate Supersonic Tools for X-59 Quiet Flight Quesst Mission
NASA’s twin F-15 jets validated critical tools for the X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft, confirming precision systems like shock-sensing probes, schlieren imaging, and ALIGNS navigation during May flights over the Mojave Desert. The successful tests mark a key step in NASA’s Quesst mission, which aims to enable quieter, faster commercial air trav...

Shenzhou-15 Spacecraft Debris Burns Over Los Angeles During Uncontrolled Reentry
On April 2, 2024, debris from China's Shenzhou-15 spacecraft lit up the Los Angeles sky during an uncontrolled reentry. Scientists employed seismic data to track the sonic booms generated by the debris, analysing its path, speed, and fragmentation. This novel use of seismic tools highlights the risks of increasing space debris and the potential to ...
