'Worth $19.5 million': NASA to launch an artificial star which will orbit 22,236 miles above Earth

^{Published on 2024-12-02 02:02:35 - Tim Hastings, N@N}

NASA, in collaboration with George Mason University, is preparing to launch the Landolt NASA Space Mission, a $19.5 million initiative to place an artificial "star" in orbit by 2029.

NASA is set to launch an artificial star named the Landolt Space Mission, valued at $19.5 million, which will orbit 22,236 miles above Earth. This satellite will serve as a calibration tool for ground-based telescopes by providing a known light source, helping astronomers to measure the brightness of stars more accurately. The mission aims to improve the precision of astronomical observations, particularly in understanding cosmic distances and the properties of stars. The artificial star will emit light in a controlled and predictable manner, allowing for better calibration of instruments and enhancing the study of dark energy, exoplanets, and other celestial phenomena.
