The sounding rocket mission will take a short trip into space to test new technologies and gather new information from the remnants of a supernova.

NASA launched a spacecraft to test new technologies and collect new information from the remnants of an exploding star. Space reported it.

In particular, the main task of a special sounding rocket carrying a device called Micro-X is to collect X-rays coming from a supernova remnant called Cassiopeia A, a massive bubble left after a supernova 11,000 light-years away. the world.

This space object is one of the most studied objects in the sky, but the experiment is designed to provide new knowledge.

The Micro-X instrument is about 50 times higher than existing orbiting observatories, scientists say. With its help, it is possible to study X-rays in more detail and, as a result, obtain more data on the composition, origin and state of matter ejected into space as a result of the explosion of an unknown star.

If the flight goes according to plan, the Micro-X will be used on additional missions. However, experts want to launch the spacecraft into space several times to make sure it is working well, and where to fix it.

It was earlier reported that the astronaut took amazing photos of the auroras from the International Space Station.
