NASA announces to launch mission on Titan through Dragonfly .

Hey friends , Welcome to Science Feed .


NASA will launch a rotorcraft-lander named  Dragonfly on Saturn's Natural Satellite ,Titan.

Dragonfly will become first multi rotor vehicle that will fly to multiple place on Titan .

With help of Dragonfly , NASA will investigate the progression of prebiotic chemistry and check habitability of Titan .This mission will be launched in 2026 and completed in 2034 .



“Titan is unlike any other place in the solar system, and Dragonfly is like no other mission. It’s remarkable to think of this rotorcraft flying miles and miles across the organic sand dunes of Saturn’s largest moon, exploring the processes that shape this extraordinary environment. Dragonfly will visit a world filled with a wide variety of organic compounds, which are the building blocks of life and could teach us about the origin of life itself,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s associate administrator for Science at the agency’s Headquarters in Washington.

Titan can provide information about how life forms exist on our planet because Titan is similar to our early Earth . Similar to Earth , Titan has nitrogen-based atmosphere .It has rains of methane and other organic materials.
Since Titan's atmosphere is four times denser than Earth.
So, Dragonfly will take this advantage to fly across Titan .

“With the Dragonfly mission, NASA will once again do what no one else can do .Visiting this mysterious ocean world could revolutionize what we know about life in the universe. This cutting-edge mission would have been unthinkable even just a few years ago, but we’re now ready for Dragonfly’s amazing flight,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine.

Thanks for reading .

Batteries that are better than Lithium-ion batteries - Science Feed

Hello, This is your Science Feed. As we know Lithium is used in most of our electrical equipment, mostly in our smartphones. But, these batteries have their own limitations which are annoying. The biggest reason is that Lithium-ion batteries explode vigorously. Another reason to replace Lithium-ion batteries is their short life and low charge-storing capacity. Today, We will check out those batteries which are better than our Lithium-ion batteries. Here we go; Sodium-Ion Batteries               These batteries are quite similar to Lithium-ion batteries because sodium ions are used instead of lithium ions as the charge carrier. The development of both types of batteries started side-by-side but lithium-ion batteries over took sodium one. There are lots of advantages of using sodium-ion batteries over lithium-ion batteries. First of all, Sodium is the sixth most abundant element on Earth. So, no problem with its availability. In terms...

Will You Inject Yourself with an Ancient Bacteria for Longer Life ? - Science Feed

Hii, This is Science Feed. In 2009, 3.5 million years old bacteria was found in the permafrost region on Mammoth Mountain in Siberia's Yakutsk Region. The bacteria was named 'Bacillus F' which was found by the Russian Scientist named Anatoli Brouchkov, head of the Geocryology Department at Moscow State University. After numbers of experiments, it was found that those mice which were injected with these bacterias have far better strength and immune system than normal mice. Each time the experiment was done, the results were the same. Curiously, One day Dr. Brouchkov injected himself with these 3.5 million old bacteria without knowing what would happen to his body. The problem was that scientists didn't know how the bacteria increase life span in mice. And about humans, not even a penny !!! He became the first guinea pig for the experiment In a statement, Dr. Brouchkov said that since the day he injected himself with, he felt more energetic and healthier. He eve...

Falcon 9 (SpaceX) - Science Feed

Hey, this is Science Feed, and this post is about Falcon 9, one of the most advanced rockets in the world. Before we get started, we request you subscribe to our blog so that you never miss our informative posts. We also recommend you follow us on these social media platforms. Facebook         Twitter          Reddit          Pinterest         Instagram Falcon 9 is the first reusable orbital-class rocket that can be used more than once. SpaceX has designed and developed it for payload transfer to Earth orbit and space. Over the time period of 10 years, Falcon 9 has been launched 85 times, in which 46 launches were able to land. Due to its capability of landing, SpaceX has saved costly parts of the rocket. This rocket uses rocket grade kerosene (RP-1, it is cheaper but less explosion hazardous fuel, which is a highly pure form of kerosene) as its fuel and liquid oxygen as an oxidizer.  In 2007,...
