official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Download PDF: NESC Develops Method for Estimating Risk When Reducing NDE  Performing nondestructive evaluation (NDE) can have both cost and schedule impacts, leading some to question whether descoping (i.e., reducing or eliminating) NDE inspections on certain spaceflight hardware could be possible. However, this approach would be counter to NASA’s Technical StandardContinue reading “NESC Develops Method for Estimating Risk When Reducing NDE “

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Patches of the Sun’s surface often show strong magnetic fields. These fields can emerge within a matter of hours, and can decay slowly or quickly, sometimes over days, weeks, or even months. Thanks to a new study about these long-lived active regions, we now know much more about the patchesContinue reading “Volunteers Find Oddly High Solar Flare Rates”
