EmDrive Engine Concept All hail Engineers!!! Yeah, they are truly amazing because they are working on ways to make spaceflight faster and cheaper. Yes, cheaper. Soon, a common person can travel in space and enjoy the adventures of being in zero gravity. The EmDrive was developed by Roger Shawyer in 2001, it generates thrust by bouncing microwaves around inside a cone-shaped chamber. The thrust produced by EmDrive is 100 times more than solar sailing spacecraft and also defying the well known Newton's third law of motion  - for every action,  there is an equal and opposite reaction - as there is no exhaust expelled out of the EmDrive system. The EmDrive requires no propellant as it could generate all the microwaves it needs using solar panels.  However, the study is just a proof of concept and further testing is needed to definitively rule out all possible sources of experimental error.

Psyche Asteroid in Asteroid Belt Water in Outer Space! Seriously, seeing the condition of water on our Earth it's kind of a big discovery. Psyche, the largest metallic asteroid in our solar system which is about 300 km across and is made of almost pure nickel-iron metal. This asteroid provided the NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility in Hawaii evidences of water or hydroxyl on its surface. Though, in earlier observation no evidences of water rich materials was found. So, kind of strange! Last week Space Flight Launches November 2:  Satellite Name:   HIMAWARI 9 Location          :  Tanegashima Space Center Pad 1, Japan Time                :  3:20 PM JST (UTC+9) Agency            :  Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(JAXA) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. Himawari-9 aims to offer more detailed and more timely image ...

Leonids Over Monument Valley  Image Credit & Copyright:  Sean M. Sabatini Shooting stars or more scientifically meteor shower as we call them are loved by everyone. But, ever wondered are those really stars? Sorry, to say but they are only meteors - small chunks of matter from outer space, which lights up, actually they starts to burn when they enters the earth's atmosphere. Still they are beautiful. Well shooting stars or those burning meteors are spectacular only if they do not hit the earth. Those meteors who hits the earth surface are called meteorites. Meteors appear to come out of the constellation Leo during the Leonid meteor shower, which is expected to peak on Monday. Credit: StarDate Magazine Phew! that was a lot to digest. But, hey its November - time for Leonid Meteor Shower of 2016, a spectacular event for sky-watchers. The meteor shower will starts on Nov 12 and continue to graze the night sky until Nov 21. But, there's the moon - on Nov...

Are we alone? Do we exist in parallel universe? Is time travel possible? These are few questions which are yet to be answered yet you always ponder over these questions and obviously after watching series like the flash, the zeal to get the answers of these questions are heightened.  Aurora Borealis, Manitoba, Canada Technologies are being made, questions are being solved but only few of you are aware about these developments. You know lands are being sold on moon, teleportation on quantum levels is achieved yet you are not aware of these news.It's not that you are not interested, it's just those long articles and difficult words which makes you so tire that you quit reading those articles and hence stop growing your knowledge. Here, at OrbView or OV we took an initiative to deliver you only what matters. so stop reading those boring long articles and read at OV because articles published on OV will be like those messages which are delivered through orb in those f...
