Outreach efforts will focus on engaging both minority and other underserved businesses. With a term of threeContinue reading “NASA, US Department of Commerce Expand Minority Business Efforts”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Space-based solar power offers tantalizing possibilities for sustainable energy – in the future, orbital collection systems could harvest energy in space, and beam it wirelessly back to Earth. These systems could serve remote locations across the planet to supplement the terrestrial power transmission infrastructure required today. Countries around the worldContinue reading “New Study Updates NASA on Space-Based Solar Power”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA selected a crew of four volunteers to participate in a simulated journey to Mars inside a habitat at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.  Abhishek Bhagat, Kamak Ebadi, Susan Hilbig, and Ariana Lutsic will enter the ground-based HERA (Human Exploration Research Analog) facility on Friday, Jan. 26, toContinue reading “NASA Selects Crew for Next Simulated Mars Mission”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NISAR will study changes to ice sheets, glaciers, and sea ice in fine detail, as climate change warms the air and ocean. NISAR, the soon-to-launch radar satellite from NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), will measure some key Earth vital signs, from the health of wetlands to groundContinue reading “This US-Indian Satellite Will Monitor Earth’s Changing Frozen Regions”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Beta Pictoris, a young planetary system located just 63 light-years away, continues to intrigue scientists even after decades of in-depth study. It possesses the first dust disk imaged around another star — a disk of debris produced by collisions between asteroids, comets, and planetesimals. Observations from NASA’s Hubble Space TelescopeContinue reading “NASA’s Webb Discovers Dusty ‘Cat’s Tail’ in Beta Pictoris System”

The Orbital-1 mission was Orbital Sciences’ first contracted cargo delivery flight to the space station for NASA. Cygnus brought science experiments, crew provisions, spareContinue reading “Orbital-1 Launch’s 10th Anniversary”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Nenad Miljkovic University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Traditional elastocaloric refrigeration systems are based on uniaxial compression of the elastocaloric material which makes them highly constrained by actuator requirements, the physics of column buckling, and limited surface area for heat transfer. Professor Miljkovic will investigate a novel elastocaloric system based onContinue reading “Continuous Bending-mode Elastocaloric Composite Refrigeration System for Compact, Lightweight, High-Efficiency Cooling”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY David Scarborough Auburn University Professor Scarborough will develop and implement tools to extract critical data from experimental measurements of plume surface interaction (PSI) to identify and classify dominant regimes, develop physics-based, semi-empirical models to predict the PSI phenomena, and quantify the uncertainties. The team will adapt and apply state-of-the-art imageContinue reading “Physics-based Modeling and Tool Development for the Characterization and Uncertainty Quantification of Crater Formation and Ejecta Dynamics due to Plume-surface Interaction”
