  • For 15 years, the GRACE mission has unlocked mysteries of how water moves around our planet. It gave us the first view of underground aquifers from space, and shows how fast polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers are melting.

      The subtitles at 00:06 say "(MUSIC: A Moment in Time)".
      Are you sure it's a theme from "The Piano" soundtrack? I can't find any track with a similar name... Thanks.

    I've heard that the way the GRACE satellites measure the gravitational gradient of Earth is by having two satellites and measuring the shift of orbit of one satellite from the the other in terms of their distance. I get how the Sun wouldn't affect these satellites because it's too massive to have a significant change in gravitational pull. But what about the moon? Wouldn't the moon have a gradient greater than the Earth? So wouldn't it affect the distance of orbits more? Or is it too far to affect the satellites?

    • @WhoEls
      @WhoEls Před 2 lety

      I think at the precision they are measuring they have to factor the sun AND its solar winds in. There is a huge amount of processing in the background to eliminate these errors.

    • @ktm640lc4BGD
      @ktm640lc4BGD Před 7 lety +2

      maybe ion thruster, i know it is weak but being there for years it should be able to keep the satellite in orbit in long run... i do not know the math... but ok nasa definitely did think about that

    • @Ludwig1625
      @Ludwig1625 Před 7 lety

      Tony Wells Why would you need propellant in orbit? I don't get it...

    • @piranha031091
      @piranha031091 Před 7 lety +1

      While ion thrusters do have a much higher specific impulse, which saves on fuel weight, they also require a lot of power, which means bigger (and therefore heavier) solar panels, and their xenon has to be stored at quite high pressures, needing stronger tanks (so, heavier too).
      So, they are only worth it if you plan to use a lot of delta-v during the mission.
      But a similar mission, GOCE, used a spacecraft in a much lower orbit (250 km, probably the lowest I've heard of for any functioning spacecraft), therefore having a lot more atmospheric drag to deal with. And ESA did go for ion engines on that one.

      I don't have to prove it, l live it. Our islands are sinking...we've lost land to the ocean in the last 15 years. Some of the smaller islands had completely disappeared. You can debate and argue on the stupid data but we are living in the reality that one day we won't have a home.
