December 14, 12:00
Scientists believe that plasma is one of the main types of matter in space. For example, our Sun is nothing more than a huge plasma ball. But how did man manage to place plasma in a room lamp? What is the peculiarity of the fourth state of aggregation and how will it help to conquer deep space?
Igor Egorov, senior lecturer and employee of the LaPlaz Institute of National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, spoke about how plasma engines work and whether they will help in space exploration.
In episode “Exploding a nuclear bomb under a rocket” Igor spoke about the features and advantages of chemical, jet and electric rocket engines.
About how long it might take for the origin of life, and whether they are possible, for example, on Titan (a satellite of Saturn) with its icy sand dunes and methane rain, you can find out in the episode «Extraterrestrial life: how and who are we looking for in space?»
