Sounding Rocket Launches CHESS Mission to Study the Matter Between Stars

The Colorado High-resolution Echelle Stellar Spectrograph, or CHESS 4, was successfully launched on a NASA Black Brant IX sounding rocket at 12:47 p.m. EDT, April 16 (4:47 a.m. local, April 17) from the Kwajalein Atoll in The Republic of the Marshall Islands.

The CHESS 4 mission will study the interstellar me­dium, the matter between stars. The mission focuses on translucent clouds of gas, that provide the fundamental building blocks for stars and planets. These clouds have very low densities and the only way to study them is to measure how a cloud is affected by a star -- and its associated outpouring of stellar material, the stellar wind -- moving through it.

The payload systems reported a nominal flight, proceeding as expected. The payload is to be recovered, making it the second NASA astronomical mission with water recovery. Hampered by high winds since the targeted launch day of April 13, the CHESS 4 left the pad with only 13 minutes left on the last day of the launch window.

The CHESS 4 instrument was developed by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The mission was preceded by the launch of the Penn State Water Recovery X-ray (WRX) rocket experiment on April 4. The successful launch of both missions brings to an end this year’s Kwajalein campaign.

WAS MARS BRIMMING WITH LIFE? Alien hunter claims to have found BONES on Red Planet | NASA

Recently, NASA announced its newest class of astronauts: Twelve were chosen from a record-setting pool of over 18,000 applicants to form Group 22. The truth is a little more complicated - but no less wondrous. US space agency NASA's Opportunity Mars rover has discovered evidence of ancient lake on the red planet. The shadowy group made the claim in a 12-and-a-half-minute video published on an unofficial YouTube channel on Tuesday.

Hacker collective Anonymous strongly believe that NASA is all set to announce the discovery of alien life. "NASA says aliens are coming!" the group wrote on their website. A YouTube account affiliated with the hacking group has released a video making the claim. NASA is launching a new CHESS sounding rocket on June 27 which will study vast interstellar clouds to understand more about the earliest stages of star formation.The adapter connects the rocket to the Orion spacecraft - the capsule that holds the crew. With its bulky body, spindly legs, radioactive tail and a towering stalk with a single eye, Nasa's latest Mars rover is not something you would want to come across on a dark night.

NASA is launching a new Colorado High-resolution Echelle Stellar Spectrograph rocket on June 27 to study vast interstellar clouds and know about the earliest stages of star formation. Six people believed to be supporters of Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto who has been missing in action during recent NASA rallies, are ere expected to appear in court this week for allegedly breaching electoral laws.Anonymous claims Nasa is about to announce it has found alien life. The hackers published YouTube clip which claims a Nasa scientist made the announcement at the last meeting of the US Science, Space and Technology committee.

NASA considering return missions to Uranus and Neptune | Nasa

The shadowy group made the claim in a 12-and-a-half-minute video published on an unofficial YouTube channel on Tuesday. NASA selected Craig Technologies to build Universal Stage Adapter for the Space Launch System rocket. The adapter connects the rocket to the Orion spacecraft - the capsule that holds the crew. With its bulky body, spindly legs, radioactive tail and a towering stalk with a single eye, Nasa's latest Mars rover is not something you would want to come across on a dark night.

The group has been accused of playing loud music in the area, campaigning foe Chama Cha Mashinani. Anonymous says Nasa is "on the verge" of announcing the existence of extra-terrestrial life.
