official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY When the Orion spacecraft carries the first Artemis crews to the Moon and back, it will rely on the European Service Module contributed by ESA (European Space Agency) to make the journey. The service module provides electrical power generation, propulsion, temperature control, and consumable storage for Orion, up to theContinue reading “White Sands Propulsion Team Tests 3D-Printed Orion Engine Component”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Today, Ken Carpenter is a scientist for NASA’s Hubble and Roman space telescopes, but in 1967 he was just a teenager at his local library out to fact-check a “Star Trek” episode. Name: Kenneth G. CarpenterTitle: Operations Project Scientist for Hubble Space Telescope; Ground System Scientist for Roman Space Telescope;Continue reading “Ken Carpenter: Ensuring Top-Tier Science from Moon to Stars”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY When imaging faint objects such as distant stars or exoplanets, capturing every last bit of light is crucial to get the most out of a scientific mission. These cameras must be extremely low-noise, and be able to detect the smallest quantities of light—single photons.  Superconducting cameras excel in both ofContinue reading “Breaking the Scaling Limits: New Ultralow-noise Superconducting Camera for Exoplanet Searches”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Astronomers have discovered black holes ranging from a few times the Sun’s mass to tens of billions. Now a group of scientists has predicted that NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could find a class of “featherweight” black holes that has so far eluded detection. Today, black holes form eitherContinue reading “How NASA’s Roman Mission Will Hunt for Primordial Black Holes”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test astronaut Suni Williams gives a thumbs up during a mission dress rehearsal on Friday, April 26, 2024, at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Williams was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 1998 and has been aboard the International Space Station twice. SheContinue reading “Astronaut Suni Williams Prepares for Crew Flight Test”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Ever wonder what happens when you fall into a black hole? Now, thanks to a new, immersive visualization produced on a NASA supercomputer, viewers can plunge into the event horizon, a black hole’s point of no return. “People often ask about this, and simulating these difficult-to-imagine processes helps me connectContinue reading “New NASA Black Hole Visualization Takes Viewers Beyond the Brink”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY In low Earth orbit, satellites face a constant challenge – a tiny amount of atmospheric drag that, over time, causes them to slow down and decay their orbit. To combat this, spacecraft rely on in-space thrusters to adjust positioning and boost orbits. However, most of these thrusters use heavy, expensiveContinue reading “Tech Today: NASA’s Ion Thruster Knowhow Keeps Satellites Flying”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY In March 1962, NASA Administrator James Webb addressed a two-paragraph memorandum to NASA Public Affairs Director Hiden T. Cox about the possibility of bringing in artists to highlight the agency’s achievements in a new way. In it, he wrote, “We should consider in a deliberate way just what NASA shouldContinue reading “A Different Perspective – Remembering James Dean, Founder of the NASA Art Program”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Curiosity loves to drive so it’s pretty rare we stay at a location longer than one planning cycle without the intention of drilling.

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, several aerospace companies, and GNO Inc. will host Louisiana Space Day 2024 at the Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, May 8.
