(PCI) proposes to develop a uniquely compact, lightweight, low-power, and durable Microlith® Thermo-Photo-Catalytic (TPC) Reactor for crewed Mars transit spacecraft O2 supply. As crewed space exploration mission destinations move from low Earth orbit to sustained lunar surface habitation toward Mars exploration, the need becomesContinue reading “Thermo-Photo-Catalysis of Water for Crewed Mars Transit Spacecraft Oxygen Supply”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Justin YimUniversity of Illinois We propose Legged Exploration Across the Plume (LEAP), based on the Salto jumping robot as a novel multi-jet robotic sampling concept for Enceladus to be deployed from Enceladus Orbilander. If successful, LEAP will enable collection of pristine, ocean-derived material directly from Enceladus’s jets and measurement ofContinue reading “LEAP – Legged Exploration Across the Plume”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Robert HinshawNASA Ames Research Center We propose to pioneer a radically new approach to mitigating radiation-induced cell damage in astronauts by transplanting new undamaged mitochondria (critical radiation-sensitive cell organelles) isolated from each individual pre-exposure. We will investigate this fundamental emerging concept in medicine in the space radiation context, study cellContinue reading “MitoMars: Targeted Mitochondria Replacement Therapy to Boost Deep Space Endurance”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Selim ShahriarNorthwestern University, Evanston Progress in physics has largely been driven by the development and verification of new theories that unify different fundamental forces of nature. For example, Maxwell revolutionized physics with his unified theory of electricity and magnetism, and the Standard Model of particle physics provides a consistent descriptionContinue reading “SUPREME-QG: Space-borne Ultra-Precise Measurement of the Equivalence Principle Signature of Quantum Gravity”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Ryan WeedHelicity Space LLC This proposal aims to revolutionize space exploration by developing a constellation of spacecraft powered by the Helicity Drive, a compact and scalable fusion propulsion system. This innovative technology will enable rapid, multi-directional exploration of the heliosphere and beyond, providing unprecedented insights into the Sun’s vast influenceContinue reading “Fusion-Enabled Comprehensive Exploration of the Heliosphere”

The towbody harvestsContinue reading “TOBIAS: Tethered Observatory for Balloon-based Imaging and Atmospheric Sampling”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Marco QuadrelliNASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory There is a strong coupling mechanism between the lithosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere, atmosphere, and the plasmasphere of many planetary bodies. For example, the ionosphere has been shown to respond to space weather events induced by Solar activity, as well as to atmospheric events, and events inContinue reading “PULSAR: Planetary pULSe-tAkeR”
