official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Glenn Research Center is hosting 45 spring interns at its Cleveland and Sandusky, Ohio, campuses through May 16. This group represents 43 universities across the country, spanning from Arizona to Ohio to Texas.  Through NASA’s internship programs, students gain practical experience while working side-by-side with scientists, engineers, and individuals fromContinue reading “NASA Glenn Welcomes Spring 2025 Interns”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA Glenn Research Center’s Director Dr. Jimmy Kenyon and Chief Counsel Callista Puchmeyer participated in a local symposium that addressed the operational and legal challenges of human spaceflight. The one-day conference was held at the Cleveland State University (CSU) College of Law on Feb.13.   Kenyon gave a keynote that providedContinue reading “NASA Glenn Experts Join Law College to Talk Human Spaceflight “

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s newest astrophysics observatory, SPHEREx, is on its way to study the origins of our universe and the history of galaxies, and to search for the ingredients of life in our galaxy. Short for Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer, SPHEREx lifted offContinue reading “NASA Launches Missions to Study Sun, Universe’s Beginning”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Written by Deborah Padgett, OPGS Task Lead at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory Earth planning date: Friday, March 7, 2025 In Curiosity’s last plan, the team decided to drive toward a very interesting nodular rock. The rover team hoped to do a detailed study of its surface texture over the weekend.Continue reading “Sols 4475-4476: Even the Best-Laid Plans”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s BioNutrients series of experiments is testing ways to use microorganisms to make nutrients that will be needed for human health during future long-duration deep space exploration missions. Some vital nutrients lack the shelf-life needed to span multi-year human missions, such as a mission to Mars, and may need toContinue reading “NASA Continues BioNutrients Space-Fermented Food Research”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY New spacecraft that will transport crews to the Lunar and Martian surfaces and return them to Earth may have diverse landing modalities which will function in different landing environments. Additionally, the crew may be deconditioned on landing, impacting their ability to independently egress the vehicles, perform post-landing tasks in aContinue reading “Risk to Vehicle Crew Egress Capability and Task Performance as Applied to Earth and Extraterrestrial Landings”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Exposure to microgravity induces bone atrophy/bone loss which increases circulating calcium, impacting the renal stone risk. Risk mitigation strategies including exercise and hydration are well-defined although the ability to treat a renal stone during exploration missions is not yet available. Directed Acyclic Graph Files + DAG File Information (HSRB Home Page)Continue reading “Risk of Renal Stone Formation”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Risk is inherent in human spaceflight. However, specific risks can and should be understood, managed, and mitigated to reduce threats posed to astronauts. Risk management in the context of human spaceflight can be viewed as a trade-based system. The relevant evidence in life sciences, medicine, and engineering is tracked andContinue reading “Human System Risk Board”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Safe, breathable air is essential for crew health. Human spaceflight has involved toxicological events ranging in severity from trivial to life-threatening. Toxic exposure to chemical contaminants can originate from environmental system leaks, payload leaks, pyrolysis of polymeric materials, off-gassing of polymeric materials, use of utility compounds, propellant entry, microbial products,Continue reading “Risk of Toxic Substance Exposure”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Exposure to altered gravity can cause ocular and brain structural changes to develop during spaceflight; these changes could lead to vision alterations, cognitive effects, or other deleterious health effects. SANS is a syndrome unique to humans that fly in space, and there is no terrestrial disease equivalent. Brain structural changesContinue reading “Risk of Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome”
