official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY In the future, aircraft with long, thin wings supported by aerodynamic braces could help airlines save on fuel costs. But those same wings could be susceptible to ice buildup. NASA researchers are currently working to determine if such an issue exists, and how it could be addressed. In the historicContinue reading “New Aircraft Wing Undergoes Crucial NASA Icing Testing”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) imaged Intuitive Machines’ IM-2 on the Moon’s surface on March 7, just under 24 hours after the spacecraft landed. Later that day Intuitive Machines called an early end of mission for IM-2, which carried NASA technology demonstrations as part of the agency’s CLPS (Commercial LunarContinue reading “NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Views IM-2 on Moon’s Surface”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) imaged Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 lunar lander on the Moon’s surface the afternoon of March 2, not quite 10 hours after the spacecraft landed. The delivery is part of NASA’s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative and Artemis campaign. This is the firstContinue reading “NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Views Blue Ghost on Moon’s Surface”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Researchers analyzing pulverized rock onboard NASA’s Curiosity rover have found the largest organic compounds on the Red Planet to date. The finding, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests prebiotic chemistry may have advanced further on Mars than previously observed. Scientists probed an existing rockContinue reading “NASA’s Curiosity Rover Detects Largest Organic Molecules Found on Mars”
