NASA updates ‘Eye in the Solar System’ website lets users explore outer space from home

NASA Updates

The American space agency NASA has updated its Eyes on the Solar System website, which allows space enthusiasts to discover “universes beyond and the spacecraft that explore them.” Visitors can explore the planets, their moons, asteroids, comets and spacecraft from 1950 to 2050. The website also allows them to simulate the landing of NASA spacecraft, which the agency sent to explore the surface of Mars. Check for signs of past life and rock and soil patterns on its surface.

The Eyes on the Solar System website Artemis I will also help keep tabs on the mission as it launches. The mission is slated to launch in late September, and the update seems to coincide with that.

“Using real launch data you can recreate famous moments in solar system exploration, or preview exciting adventures yet to come. Fly with the Voyager spacecraft on their epic journey, orbit Mars with MAVEN, fly by and observe Deep Impact or a comet with stardust. our home planet with spacecraft tracking Earth’s climate,” NASA said on the Eyes on the Solar System website.

The Artemis I mission is expected to be launched between September 23 and September 27. The dates have been chosen to avoid conflicts with DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test), which will launch an asteroid on September 26.

The launch dates, however, depend on NASA receiving a special waiver not to retest the batteries on the emergency flight system that is used to destroy the rocket if it strays from its designated range to a populated area.

If he doesn’t get a waiver, the rocket will have to be turned back to its assembly building, pushing the timeline back a few weeks.
