What is the Karman line?

Space & Physics

tl;dr; The Karman line defines the edge of space. It is set to 100km above the Earth’s mean sea level and separates aeronautics from astronautics. So to be an astronaut you have to travel higher than 100km from Earth’s surface. Why is that? To fly with a conventional airplane you need the air to generate…

What is LEO?

Space & Physics

LEO stands for Low Earth Orbit. It ranges from 200km to 2000 km. The ISS orbits the earth between 370km and 460 km. Due to atmospheric drag the orbit decreases over time The Hubble Telescope orbits a bit higher at 545km to 549km Other orbits Overview Satellite Orbit ISS 400km Hubble 545km Starlink 550km Iridium…

What is Beta decay?

Space & Physics

Beta decay is the process where a nucleon decays into either an electron or a positron. β− decay (electron emission) n → p + e− + ν A neutron decays into proton, an electron and an anti-neutrino. β+ decay (positron emission) p → n + e++ νe A proton decays into a neutron, a positron…
