official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Astrophysics observations at ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths often probe the most dynamic aspects of the universe. However, the high energy of ultraviolet photons means that their interaction with the materials that make up an observing instrument are less efficient, resulting in low overall throughput. New approaches in the development of thinContinue reading “Atomic Layer Processing Coating Techniques Enable Missions to See Further into the Ultraviolet”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Depending on where you stand at the lunar South Pole, you may experience temperatures of 130°F (54°C) during sunlit periods, or as low as -334°F (-203°C) in a permanently shadowed region. Keeping crews comfortable and tools and vehicles operational in such extreme temperatures is a key challenge for engineers atContinue reading “Bringing the Heat: Abigail Howard Leads Thermal Systems for Artemis Rovers, Tools”
