Carnival of Space #96 is hosted by Ian O’Neill at astroENGINE.

Lots of good questions and answers this week. I will borrow a few from Ian… Who was the first woman to travel in space? Can liquid water exist on the surface of Mars? Where are the most energetic particles in the Universe born? You can find the answers at astroENGINE.

This week, OrbitalHub presents the Taurus launch vehicle. Taurus is a four-stage, inertially guided, all solid fuel, ground launched vehicle, designed and built by Orbital Sciences Corporation. In a typical mission, Taurus can inject a 1,350 kg payload in low Earth orbit (LEO).
