official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Space is hard, but it’s not all hardware.   The new Lunar Autonomy Challenge invites teams of students from U.S. colleges and universities to test their software development skills. Working entirely in virtual simulations of the Moon’s surface, teams will develop an autonomous agent using software that can accomplish pre-defined tasksContinue reading “NASA, Collaborators Announce a New Student Lunar Autonomy Challenge! “

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The International Space Station offers a unique microgravity environment where cells outside the human body behave similarly to how they do inside the human body. Tissue chips are small devices containing living cells that mimic complex functions of specific human tissues and organs. Researchers can run experiments using tissue chipsContinue reading “Tissue Chips Accurately Model Organs in Space”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Engineered heart tissues in space showed impairments that led to increased arrhythmias and loss of muscle strength, changes similar to cardiac aging. This finding suggests that the engineered tissues, essentially an automated heart-on-a-chip platform, can be used to study cardiac issues in space and aging-related cardiovascular disease on Earth. Microgravity exposure isContinue reading “Station Science Top News: Oct. 4, 2024”
