official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The spacecraft bus that will deliver NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to its orbit and enable it to function once there is now complete after years of construction, installation, and testing. Now that the spacecraft is assembled, engineers will begin working to integrate the observatory’s other major components, includingContinue reading “NASA Completes Spacecraft to Transport, Support Roman Space Telescope”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The first NASA spacecraft dedicated to studying an ocean world beyond Earth, Europa Clipper aims to find out if the ice-encased moon Europa could be habitable. NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft, the largest the agency has ever built for a planetary mission, will travel 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometers) fromContinue reading “8 Things to Know About NASA’s Mission to an Ocean Moon of Jupiter”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY A new instrument is using advanced detection techniques and leveraging an orbit with specific characteristics to increase our understanding of the Van Allen belts—regions surrounding Earth that contain energetic particles that can endanger both robotic and human space missions. Recently, the instrument provided a unique view of changes to thisContinue reading “Innovative Instrument Reveals Hidden Features Deep Inside the Van Allen Radiation Belts”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY With the help of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, an international team of researchers led by scientists in the Department of Astronomy at Stockholm University has found more black holes in the early universe than has previously been reported. The new result can help scientists understand how supermassive black holes wereContinue reading “NASA’s Hubble Finds More Black Holes than Expected in the Early Universe”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The X-15 hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft, built by North American Aviation (NAA), greatly expanded our knowledge of flight at speeds exceeding Mach 6 and altitudes above 250,000 feet. A joint project among NASA, the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Navy, the X-15’s first powered flight took place on Sept. 17,Continue reading “65 Years Ago: First Powered Flight of the X-15 Hypersonic Rocket Plane “

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Hybrid-electric cars have been a staple of the road for many years now. Soon that same idea of a part-electric-, part-gas-powered engine may find its way into the skies propelling a future jet airliner. NASA is working in tandem with industry partner GE Aerospace on designing and building just suchContinue reading “NASA, GE Aerospace Advancing Hybrid-Electric Airliners with HyTEC”

Being born in the U.S. gave me a lot of opportunities that my family and parents were robbed of because of situations in their home country. It shaped me to be a hard worker and to aspire to largeContinue reading “Engineer Zaida Hernandez”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) researchers examined the structures of four titanium-based compounds solidified in levitators in microgravity and on the ground and found that the internal microstructures were generally similar. These results could support development of new materials for use in space manufacturing. To produce glass or metal alloys on Earth, rawContinue reading “Station Science Top News: September 13, 2024”
