official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY During 2024-2025, helicopter blades optimized for Mars were tested in the Planetary Aeolian Laboratory (PAL) at NASA Ames Research Center as part of the Rotor Optimization for the Advancement of Mars eXploration (ROAMX) project.  The experimental test-chamber of the PAL can be depressurized to create atmospheric air pressures of differentContinue reading “ROAMX testing in the Planetary Aeolian Laboratory (PAL) at NASA Ames Research Center “

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Written by Scott VanBommel, Planetary Scientist at Washington University Earth planning date: Monday, March 3, 2025 Curiosity continued steady progress through the upper sulfate unit and toward its next major science waypoint: the boxwork structures. Our rover is currently driving south through a local canyon between “Texoli” and “Gould Mesa.”Continue reading “Sols 4471-4472: Marching Through the Canyon”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY What is a NASA Spinoff? Well, to answer that question, we’re going to have to go all the way back to 1958, back to the legislation that originally created the space agency, NASA. So in that legislation, there’s some forward-looking language that says, “Make sure that all the cool stuffContinue reading “What is a NASA Spinoff? We Asked a NASA Expert: Episode 53”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY When astronauts walk on the Moon, they’ll serve as the eyes, hands, and boots-on-the-ground interpreters supporting the broader teams of scientists on Earth. NASA is leveraging virtual reality to provide high-fidelity, cost-effective support to prepare crew members, flight control teams, and science teams for a return to the Moon throughContinue reading “How NASA is Using Virtual Reality to Prepare for Science on Moon”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Cryocoolers are essential systems in many space exploration missions to maintain propellants at cryogenic temperatures. Cryogenic recuperators are a key component of these cryocoolers and dictate the performance of the system. NASA is seeking to reduce the cost and increase the performance of cryogenic recuperators (also called Heat Exchangers) byContinue reading “Novel Recuperator Design for Cryogenic Fluid Management System”
