How much does it cost to send a human to space?

Human space flight company Space Perspective is planning to fly passengers to the edge of space in a high-tech version of a hot-air balloon, “the size of a football stadium,” lifted by hydrogen. Flights are planned for early 2024, with tickets priced firmly at $125,000 per person.

Can robots survive in space?

Sending a robot to space is also much cheaper than sending a human. Robots don't need to eat or sleep or go to the bathroom. They can survive in space for many years and can be left out there—no need for a return trip! Plus, robots can do lots of things that humans can't.

What sensors does a Robonaut have?

The two Robonaut hand/wrist modules contain 84 sensors for feedback and control, 60 of which are analog and require signal conditioning and digitization. Each degree of freedom has a motor position sensor, a joint force sensor, and a joint absolute position sensor.

Has anyone been left in space?

The first was Vladimir Komarov on , when the parachute on the landing capsule of his Soyuz 1 mission failed to open. ... In 1971 all three of the Soyuz 11 mission crew died when their capsule depressurised before re-entry on their way back from humanity's first ever stay on a space station, Salyut 1.
