official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Traffic Management Beyond Visual Line of Sight (UTM BVLOS) subproject aims to support the growing demand for drone flights across the globe.   Uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), or drones, offer an increasing number of services, from package delivery to critical public safety operations, like search and rescue missions.Continue reading “Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Traffic Management Beyond Visual Line of Sight (UTM BVLOS) “

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY One Earth satellite can see plankton that photosynthesize. The other measures water surface height. Together, their data reveals how sea life and the ocean are intertwined. The ocean is an engine that drives Earth’s weather patterns and climate and sustains a substantial portion of life on the planet. A newContinue reading “NASA’s PACE, US-European SWOT Satellites Offer Combined Look at Ocean”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY These celestial objects look like asteroids but act like comets now come in two flavors. The first dark comet — a celestial object that looks like an asteroid but moves through space like a comet — was reported less than two years ago. Soon after, another six were found. InContinue reading “NASA Researchers Discover More Dark Comets”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Astronaut cognitive performance remains generally stable Researchers found that astronauts on six-month missions to the International Space Station demonstrated generally stable cognitive performance but mild changes in certain areas, including processing speed, working memory, attention, and willingness to take risks. This research provides baseline data that could help identify cognitiveContinue reading “Station Science Top News: Dec. 6, 2024”
