official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The Lifetime Surveillance of Astronaut Health (LSAH) program collects, analyzes, and interprets medical, physiological, hazard exposure, and environmental data for the purpose of maintaining astronaut health and safety as well as preventing occupationally induced injuries or disease related to space flight or space flight training. It allows NASA to effectivelyContinue reading “LSAH Newsletter”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s nearly complete Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has made another set of critical strides toward launch. This fall, the outer portion passed two tests — a shake test and an intense sound blast — to ensure its successful launch. The inner portion of the observatory underwent a major 65-dayContinue reading “NASA’s Roman Observatory Passes Spate of Key Tests”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Using its Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam), NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured never-before-seen details of the Red Spider Nebula, a planetary nebula, in this image released on Oct. 26, 2025. NIRCam is Webb’s primary near-infrared imager, providing high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy for a wide variety of investigations. Webb’s new view of the RedContinue reading “Red Spider Nebula”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY A crew of four research volunteers stepped inside NASA’s CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog) habitat on Oct. 19, marking the start of the agency’s second 378-day simulated Mars mission. Ross Elder, Ellen Ellis, Matthew Montgomery, and James Spicer are living and working inside the roughly 1,700-square-foot 3D-printed habitatContinue reading “CHAPEA Crew Begins Stay Inside NASA’s Mars Habitat for Second Mission”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Crater rims are vital landmarks for planetary science and navigation. Yet detecting them in real imagery is tough, with shadows, lighting shifts, and broken edges obscuring their shape. This project invites you to develop methods that can reliably fit ellipses to crater rims, helping advance future space exploration. In theContinue reading “NASA Crater Detection Challenge”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Results from an enhanced radar technique have demonstrated improvement to sub-surface observations of Mars.  NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has revisited and raised new questions about a mysterious feature buried beneath thousands of feet of ice at the Red Planet’s south pole. In a recent study, researchers conclude from dataContinue reading “NASA Orbiter Shines New Light on Long-Running Martian Mystery”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY When NASA’s 2025 astronaut candidates arrived at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston this fall, they stepped into history, sharing a common mission to master the skills and teamwork that define NASA’s next era of exploration.  Selected from a pool of more than 8,000 applicants, the new class representsContinue reading “NASA’s 2025 Astronaut Candidates: Shaping Artemis Exploration “
