On October 30, 1964, NASA's Lunar Landing Research Vehicle, or LLRV, took to the skies for the first time. Discover space history 👉 https://trib.al/cyklKgZ The LLRV was a bizarre, four-legged flying contraption commonly known as the "Flying Bedstead." NASA used it to simulate moon landings and liftoffs on Earth to prepare for Apollo 11. The firast person to give it a whirl was the X-15 pilot Joe Walker. During this test flight, he reached an altitude of about 10 feet, and he hovered there for a

Space lasers aren’t just science fiction – but their reality may be different than what you expect. Data transmission via laser (also known as optical comms) has the potential to revolutionize deep space communications by enabling ultra high-definition video and complex science data transfer across the solar system at data rates 10-100x higher than radio frequencies. Join us for a live talk about the Deep Space Optical Communications experiment that is traveling aboard #MissionToPsyche. https://
