2020 Dragon King

Egyptians often refer to Cairo as Maṣr (IPA: [mɑsˤɾ]; Egyptian Arabic: مَصر‎), the Egyptian Arabic name for Egypt itself, emphasizing the city's importance for the country.^[11][12] Its official name al-Qāhirah  (Arabic: القاهرة‎) means "the Vanquisher" or "the Conqueror", supposedly due to the fact that the planet Mars, an-Najm al-Qāhir (Arabic: النجم القاهر‎, "the Conquering Star"), was rising at the time when the city was founded,^[13] possibly also in reference to the much awaited arrival of the Fatimid Caliph Al-Mu'izz who reached Cairo in 973 from Mahdia, the old Fatimid capital.^[14] The location of the ancient city of Heliopolis is the suburb of Ain Shams (Arabic: عين شمس‎, "Eye of the Sun").

Horus returns from the dragon palace pole star late 2020 after the Tokyo Olympics.

The asteroid was officially named "Ryugu" by the Minor Planet Center on 28 September 2015 (M.P.C. 95804).^[11] The name refers to Ryūgū (Dragon Palace), a magical underwater palace in a Japanese folktale. In the story, the fisherman Urashima Tarō travels to the palace on the back of a turtle, and when he returns, he carries with him a mysterious box, much like Hayabusa2 returning with samples.^[1][12]

The Hayabusa mission reached the dragons palace of Thuban itself on June 27 just as the miracle underground event occurred. 

Was Ryugujo, The Dragon Palace, which is said to have a different season on each of its four sides, actually symbolic of the Big Dipper and the Pole Star?

On February 1, 2012 SpaceX announced that it had completed the development of a new, more powerful version of a storable-propellant rocket engine, this one called SuperDraco. This high-thrust hypergolic engine—about 200 times larger than the Draco RCS thruster hypergolic engine—offers deep throttling ability,^[6] and just like the Draco thruster, was designed to provide multiple restart capability and use the same shared hypergolic propellants as Draco. Its primary purpose was to be for SpaceX's LAS (launch abort system) on the Dragon spacecraft. According to a NASA press release, the engine has a transient from ignition to full thrust of 100 ms. During launch abort, eight SuperDracos were expected to fire for 5 seconds at full thrust. The development of the engine was partially funded by NASA's CCDev 2 program. Name: Draco comes from the Greek drakōn for dragon. Draco (constellation) is a constellation (the Dragon) in the polar region of the Northern Hemisphere near Cepheus and Ursa Major.

The engines will be used on crew transport flights to low Earth orbit, and are also projected to be used for entry, descent and landing control of the proposed Red Dragon robotic probe to Mars.

 In February 2017, SpaceX noted this launch date was delayed to no earlier than 2020. In July 2017, Elon Musk announced that development would be halted and resources redirected to larger spaceships.^[4]

Mars Phoenix storm

Volcanic Deposit Responsible For Martian Dust

The formation, which sits in the highland-lowland boundary near the Tharsis and Elysium volcanic areas, was once one-half the size of the United States. However, the Martian winds blowing through the surface of the planet have eroded the Medusae Fossae to around 20 percent. Even then, the formation is still the largest volcanic deposit known to man in the solar system.

Its landing site, Elysium Planitia, was picked from 22 candidates, and is centered at about 4.5 degrees north latitude and 135.9 degrees east longitude; about 373 miles (600 kilometers) from Curiosity’s landing site, Gale Crater. The locations of other Mars landers and rovers are labeled.

Ryugu Diamondback

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap180822.html

 It looks like a big space diamond -- but with craters. It's 162173 Ryugu (Dragon's Castle), and Japan's robotic Hayabusa2 mission is now arriving at this near-Earth asteroid. AmbitiousHayabusa2 is carrying an armada of separable probes, including two impactors, four small close-proximity hoverers, three small surface hoppers, and the Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout (MASCOT) which will land, study, and move around on Ryugu's surface. Most of these are equipped with cameras. Moreover, Hayabusa2 itself is scheduled to collect surface samples and return these samples to Earth for adetailed analysis near the end of 2020. 




Diamond serpents tail

The traditional name Thuban is derived from the Arabic word ثعبان thuʿbān, 'snake'. It is sometimes known as the Dragon's Tail and as Adib.

Japan’s new asteroid probe reaches its target after 3.2-billion-kilometer journey

Preliminary observations “are really thrilling,” says Seiichiro Watanabe,
 a project scientist at Nagoya University in Japan. The diamond-shape asteroid
 is about 900 meters across and rotates around its own axis every 7.5 hours or so, more slowly than other similarly sized asteroids for reasons that are not yet clear, Watanabe says. The surface is strewn with boulders larger than would be expected to have accumulated on an asteroid of its size, something that has triggered a debate among planetary scientists. One line of thinking is that Ryugu was originally part of a larger asteroid that broke up. But others contend the boulders could have landed over time or might have been hard masses incorporated into the asteroid at its formation and later exposed as softer material eroded away. “It’s a strange phenomenon,” Watanabe says. 

This is the second ISAS mission to retrieve samples from an asteroid. The original Hayabusa, launched in 2003 to explore an asteroid named Itokawa, “has been a stunning success,” planetary scientist Erik Asphaug at the University of California, Santa Cruz, wrote in a commentary in Sciencein June 2006, despite engine failures, a daunting variety of mechanical malfunctions, fuel and solar power losses, and communications blackouts during a 7-year, 6-billion-kilometer odyssey. The return sample capsule, which landed in the Australian outback in June 2010, carried 1500 particles of asteroid dust, despite glitches with the sample collection mechanism. And even before Hayabusa touched down on Itokawa, it had returned enough data for scientists to publish a clutch of papers in Science, including one concluding that the asteroid was a loose agglomeration of rubble rather than a solid rock.

“(The finding) is compelling evidence to prove that the Ryugu asteroid was formed by fragments of larger celestial bodies,” said Seiichiro Watanabe, head of the study team and professor of Nagoya University.

Star Shaft Space Program

The Dream Chaser Cargo System is an American reusable lifting body spaceplane being developed by Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) Space Systems. The Dream Chaser is designed to resupply the International Space Station with both pressurized and unpressurized cargo. The vehicle will launch vertically on an Atlas V, Ariane 5 or Falcon Heavy rocket,^[1] and autonomously land horizontally on conventional runways.^[2] Potential further development of the spaceplane includes a crewedversion, the Dream Chaser Space System, which would be capable of carrying up to seven people to and from low Earth orbit.

The Boeing CST-100 Starliner (Crew Space Transportation) crew capsule is a spacecraft design under construction by Boeing in collaboration with Bigelow Aerospace as their entry for NASA's Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) program. Its primary purpose is to transport crew to the International Space Station (ISS)^[6] and to private space stations such as the proposed Bigelow Aerospace Commercial Space Station.^[7]

Starliner is similar in concept to the Orion spacecraft being built for NASA by Lockheed Martin.^[8] The capsule has a diameter of 4.56 meters (15.0 ft),^[3] which is slightly larger than the Apollo command module and smaller than the Orion capsule.^[9] The Starliner is to support larger crews of up to seven people and is being designed to be able to remain on-orbit for up to seven months with reusability of up to ten missions.^[10] As of 2010, it was intended to be compatible with four launch vehicles: Atlas V, Delta IV, Falcon 9, and Vulcan.^{[11][needs update]} As of 2011, the initial launch vehicle was planned to be the Atlas V N22,^[12] to be launched from SLC-41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
