official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Technicians have successfully installed two sunshields onto NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s inner segment. Along with the observatory’s Solar Array Sun Shield and Deployable Aperture Cover, the panels (together called the Lower Instrument Sun Shade), will play a critical role in keeping Roman’s instruments cool and stable as theContinue reading “NASA Installs Key ‘Sunblock’ Shield on Roman Space Telescope”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland is seeking proposals for the use of its historic aircraft hangar, along with a parking lot, tarmac, and a small neighboring office building. Proposals are due by 1 p.m. EDT on Nov. 28.   The hangar, formally known as the Flight Research Building, is availableContinue reading “NASA Invites Proposals to Lease Aircraft Hangar in Cleveland”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA has released a new proposal opportunity for industry to tap into agency know-how, resources, and expertise. The Announcement of Collaboration Opportunity (ACO), managed by the Space Technology Mission Directorate, enables valuable collaboration without financial exchanges between NASA and industry partners. Instead, companies leverage NASA subject matter experts, facilities, software,Continue reading “NASA Releases Opportunity to Boost Commercial Space Tech Development”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA/Lori Losey The best way to solve a mystery is by gathering evidence and building a case. That’s exactly what NASA researchers are doing with a series of research flights aimed at advancing a sensor for supersonic parachutes. The clues they find could help make these parachutes more reliable andContinue reading “NASA Tests Epic Solution for Supersonic Parachute Deliveries”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Carrying an advanced radar system that will produce a dynamic, three-dimensional view of Earth in unprecedented detail, the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite has launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, India. Jointly developed by NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), and a criticalContinue reading “NASA-ISRO Satellite Lifts Off to Track Earth’s Changing Surfaces”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Since their discovery in the late 1700s, astronomers have learned that planetary nebulae, or the expanding shell of glowing gas expelled by a low-intermediate mass star late in its life, can come in all shapes and sizes. Most planetary nebula present as circular, elliptical, or bi-polar, but some stray fromContinue reading “NASA’s Webb Traces Details of Complex Planetary Nebula”

Our drive over the weekend completed successfully, and we quickly confirmed that we are parked in a stable position. Thus, we were able to unstow theContinue reading “Curiosity Blog, Sols 4614-4615: Driving Along the Boxwork”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Written by Andrew Shumway, Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Washington It is not common for a rover to spot nearly perfect spheres in the soil beneath its wheels. Over two decades ago, the Opportunity rover famously discovered spherules made of hematite (nicknamed “blueberries”) near its landing site in MeridianiContinue reading “Spheres in the Sand”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA has awarded Firefly Aerospace of Cedar Park, Texas, $176.7 million to deliver two rovers and three scientific instruments to the lunar surface as part of the agency’s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative and Artemis campaign to explore more of the Moon than ever before. This delivery is theContinue reading “NASA Selects Firefly for New Artemis Science, Tech Delivery to Moon”
