These designs bring humanity to the new world

NASA has just announced 12 futuristic designs that promise to bring people to new worlds, such as submarines on Titan moon and giant grid of asteroids.

In an effort to find potential technologies that can bring people to the mysterious places of the solar system and beyond, the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) has selected 12 most impressive proposals in program "NASA 2014 modern innovations concepts" (NIAC) to prepare for the next phase of research. The goal of the NIAC is to turn concepts that seem only in fictional movies into practical science through pioneering techniques. These ideas will start to be funded, allowing experts to become reality.

Selected proposals such as Saturn's Titan methane lake exploration or planetary catch nets . NASA poured money into these projects in hopes of obtaining groundbreaking technology helps support future missions.

Experts will examine 12 projects within nine months before NASA selects ideas that will continue for another two years.'The NIAC latest selection rounds include some very interesting concepts in the field of planetary exploration , ' according to Space.com quoted Michael Gazarik of the Directorate of Space Technology Mission in Washington. 'We are working with inventors across the United States to change the future of space exploration, while focusing on investments to address challenges in missions in the universe and the earth. ' , according to Gazarik expert.

In the first phase of NIAC, NASA will provide US $ 100,000 to selected groups, and if it does result after nine months, they will continue to move into phase 2 with an additional US $ 500,000 for further research. . Here are some concepts that reached the first round:

Titan Submarine: Explore Kraken, the largest sea in the north of Titan, which is full of methane gas.

Solar sail (Herts): The sail is made from a wire network with a width of up to 30km, attached to the rotating spacecraft to collect energy from the sun. It can reach a maximum speed of more than 700km / sec, allowing the ship to take only about 1 year to travel from the moon to Neptune.

The bed simulates the Mars environment: The device aims to study the viability of life forms on the surface of Mars.

Small mini cruise ships: Use many small, cheap cruise ships to impact celestial bodies such as asteroids and comets in the solar system.

Aragoscope: is an optical device with extremely high resolution that can upgrade the telescope's vision to 1,000 times.

Wrangler Grid: A small satellite called the Wrangler system will throw a net and catch a celestial body like an asteroid.

Utilize the hottest molecules of the universe to study the icy worlds of the solar system: This is the method used to measure the depths of moons on the outer edge like Europa, Ganymede and Enceladus.
