Jehn foresees larger launch and landing vehicles on the moon. Those comings and goings mean larger rocket plumes interacting with the lunar landscape. "Mitigating the effects of rocket plume ...

Such high Knudsen number conditions give rise to important nonequilibrium effects affecting vehicle aerothermodynamics and rocket plume structure. The NGPDL projects in this area have some overlap ...

SpaceX Falcon 9 is launching from the Kennedy Space Center to rescue the “stuck astronauts” at the ISS this evening — and it may be visible from the central NC skies!
