official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Earth planning date: Friday, Oct. 25, 2024 The changes to the plan Wednesday, moving the drive a sol earlier, meant that we started off planning this morning about 18 meters (about 59 feet) farther along the western edge of Gediz Vallis and with all the data we needed for planning.Continue reading “Sols 4345-4347: Contact Science is Back on the Table”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Most stars form in collections, called clusters or associations, that include very massive stars. These giant stars send out large amounts of high-energy radiation, which can disrupt relatively fragile disks of dust and gas that are in the process of coalescing to form new planets. A team of astronomers usedContinue reading “Planets Beware: NASA Unburies Danger Zones of Star Cluster”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Since 2015, students from across the USA have been partnering with scientists at NASA to advance research on growing plants in space, ultimately to feed astronauts on long-distance space missions, as part of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s Growing Beyond Earth project, which is now in its 9th year. This classroom-basedContinue reading “Watch How Students Help NASA Grow Plants in Space: Growing Beyond Earth”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY On its way up the side of Jezero Crater, the agency’s latest Red Planet off-roader peers all the way back to its landing site and scopes the path ahead.   NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover is negotiating a steeply sloping route up Jezero Crater’s western wall with the aim of crestingContinue reading “NASA’s Perseverance Rover Looks Back While Climbing Slippery Slope”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA astronaut Don Pettit fills a sphere of water with food coloring in this image from Oct. 20, 2024. Pettit calls experiments like these “science of opportunity” – moments of scientific exploration that spontaneously come to mind because of the unique experience of being on the International Space Station. During hisContinue reading “An Opportunity to Study Water”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA Administrator Bill Nelson announced Monday Mike Kincaid, associate administrator, Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM), and Alexander MacDonald, chief economist, will retire from the agency. Following Kincaid’s departure on Nov. 30, Kris Brown, deputy associate administrator for strategy and integration in OSTEM, will serve as acting associate administrator for thatContinue reading “NASA Announces STEM Engagement Lead, Chief Economist Retirements”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope team has successfully completed integration of the Roman Coronagraph Instrument onto Roman’s Instrument Carrier, a piece of infrastructure that will hold the mission’s instruments, which will be integrated onto the larger spacecraft at a later date. The Roman Coronagraph is a technology demonstration thatContinue reading “NASA Successfully Integrates Coronagraph for Roman Space Telescope”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY As NASA prepares for the first crewed Moon landing in more than five decades, the agency has identified an updated set of nine potential landing regions near the lunar South Pole for its Artemis III mission. These areas will be further investigated through scientific and engineering study. NASA will continueContinue reading “NASA Provides Update on Artemis III Moon Landing Regions”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Earth planning date: Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2024 Curiosity is driving along the western edge of the Gediz Vallis channel, heading for a good vantage point before turning westward and leaving the channel behind to explore the canyons beyond.
