Two American astronauts enter the International Space Station (ISS)

American astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Benken have entered the International Space Station (ISS). 


Their Dragon Capsule, operated and provided by a private SpaceX company, was attached to the space station at a distance of 422 kilometers from China. After waiting a while to check for leaks, pressure and temperature, they landed at the station to join the Russian and American teams already on the ISS.

Hurley and Benken were launched from Florida on Saturday. This is the first time astronauts have been sent from American soil since NASA's shuttle system shut down nine years ago.

NASA has been using Russian rockets for manned space travel since the shuttles ceased operations in 2011. Through this mission, NASA has signaled the beginning of a new era of commercial leasing, not its own spacecraft. NASA will no longer buy or operate US spacecraft to and from the space center.

Only California-based companies like SpaceX of Heathron, led by billionaire Elon Musk, do such work. The connection to the Dragon ISS was confirmed on Sunday at 14:16 GMT. The SpaceX Falcon reached the space center 19 hours after it was launched from the Kennedy Space Center.

The process of connecting two vehicles is fully automated; Hurley and Bencon didn't have to be involved - but they did practice. The door between Dragon and ISS opened at 17:02 GMT. Hurley and Benken floated to meet ISS commanders and NASA astronauts, as well as Russian astronauts.

"We're happy to be here and now the commander here will put us to work. And, hopefully we'll get used to it and not spoil a lot," said Doug Hurley.


Another astronaut, Bob Banksy, said they had rested well and were ready for more work. "We slept well for seven hours or so," he said in a radio contact with Texas-based Mission Control.

"The first night is always a little challenging, but the dragon was Kaida's vehicle, and the air flow was good and the night was great. We're eager to be in Earth orbit again."

Earlier, the space trip was scheduled for Wednesday but was postponed due to bad weather. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstein congratulated them both on their good work: "The whole world has seen this mission and we are very proud of what you have done for our country and especially for inspiring the whole world."

The SpaceX company last year launched an unmanned spacecraft in an automated process, but this is the first manned spaceflight.

During the mission, Hurley and Benken's job is to inspect the entire system and inform the engineers about it. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

During that time, he became a member of the current ISS Expedition 63 team and participated in daily activities there. Hurley and Benken were selected in 2000 and have been to space twice before.

ISS commander Chris Cassidy joked that they had missed the opportunity to clean up on Saturday as they arrived on Sunday.



The spacecraft Dragon Capsule carrying two American astronauts has entered the space station.

The spacecraft, including US astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Banks, has entered the International Space Station (ISS), according to US media reports.

The US space agency NASA has launched the spacecraft in collaboration with the private company SpaceX.

Dragon Capsule is provided by SpaceX and is being operated by him. The spacecraft entered the space station 422 kilometers above China.

After waiting a while to check for leaks, pressure and temperature, passengers in the Dragon capsule entered the station to join the Russian and US teams already on the ISS.


The Dragon Capsule spacecraft, including Hurley and Benken, was launched from Florida, USA last Saturday night.

NASA shut down its space shuttle system nine years ago. This is the first time an astronaut has been sent from American soil since then.

Through this mission, NASA has ushered in a new era of renting spacecraft from the commercial sector, not its own spacecraft.

Mysterious hole in the picture of Mars

The US space agency NASA took a picture of Mars in 2011. The photo was exhibited by NASA on March 1. A mysterious hole is seen in the image captured on Mars.

According to various media reports, scientists have suggested that Mars may be suitable for habitation. There are also many caves near the 35 meter diameter hole. Scientists are now conducting research on this image.

NASA has sent a robot called 'Arbiter' for the study. The robot is sending a picture of Mars. This picture was also taken and sent by 'Arbiter'. The cave is about 20 meters deep after NASA discussed the hole in the picture.

According to NASA's blog, many safe caves have been discovered around the hole seen on Mars. It is estimated to be 35 meters long and 20 meters deep.


Want to go to Mars? Mars became a small planet on Earth

Mars is considered a symbol of heroism in Eastern astrology. If Mars is weak in the horoscope, no astrologer can make you spend 4-5 cycles of your office and 20-25 thousand rupees. According to the established beliefs and principles of astrology, not only Mars but also Mercury, Jupiter, Sun etc. It should be understood that Ketu has a high position in the union with the Moon and Venus and has a crooked vision.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun beyond the Earth. Its average distance from the sun is 22,79,9,100 km, and there is a big difference between the earth and its distance. The average distance between the two is 22,50,000,000 km. But when the distance between the two increases, there is a gap of up to 40,10,000,000 km. As the Sun orbits the Earth, Mars travels up to 5,600,000 km.

But this is not always the case. In August 2003, Mars passed so close. Normally, Mars orbits the sun every two years and moves 7,77,92,000 km away from the earth. That's why all the space agencies in the world send their spacecraft to Mars in a gap of 2 years.

Although Earth scientists have succeeded in sending a spacecraft into interstellar space (beyond 150 AU from the Sun), including all the planets in the solar system, they have not been able to send people to any celestial body other than the Moon.

Mars, which has a solid surface like Earth, continues to attract the minds of scientists. There is no solid surface on any planet beyond Mars. All the planets after Jupiter are gaseous planets.
Scientists have a great desire to land humans on Mars.

For this, space corporations of many countries as well as private companies are competing. Everyone is claiming to set foot on Mars by 2032. But with the technology and science that has been available so far, the pace at which space has been achieved does not seem to be changing.

However, this is possible if you want to travel around the Earth in a Mars-like environment.

The famous holiday website Trip Advisor and Astroland Company have created a small planet with a Mars-like atmosphere on Earth. This artificial Mars is made in Spain.

This artificial planet, which has the same atmosphere as Mars, was built in a cave in northern Spain. The company plans to accommodate tourists for three days and three nights.


The dream of Mars has come true in a cave at a height of 196 feet in northern Spain. The length of this cave is 1.4 km. An atmosphere of Mars has been created inside the cave.

You must first participate in a 30-day 'tour program' to visit this Martian planet. The company gives you 21 days of online training after booking a trip to Mars. Mars' gravity, atmosphere, ecology, etc. are all very different from Earth's. After the online training, the company will put you in another 3-day training workshop to give you physical and mental strength and less gravity as well as physical training to do other activities.

After gaining proficiency in training, the company will take you on a journey to artificial Mars for 3 days and 3 nights.

Arrangements have been made for the tourists going to the cave-like Mars to go on this journey only with special equipment and special clothes.


According to the company, the three-day trip to this artificial Mars will cost around Rs 800,000.

"Our first trial is over, and the results are very encouraging," said David Ceballos, the company's CEO.

The company has opened bookings for tourists. It will definitely be exciting to experience Mars for Rs 800,000.
