TOBIAS: Tethered Observatory for Balloon-based Imaging and Atmospheric Sampling
official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Ben HockmanNASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory A basketball-sized towbody containing a camera, atmospheric sampling instruments, and support hardware is suspended on a multi-kilometer tether from a high-altitude balloon in the Venusian atmosphere, allowing it to peer beneath the dense cloud layer and image the surface at high resolution. The towbody harvestsContinue reading “TOBIAS: Tethered Observatory for Balloon-based Imaging and Atmospheric Sampling”
PULSAR: Planetary pULSe-tAkeR
official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Marco QuadrelliNASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory There is a strong coupling mechanism between the lithosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere, atmosphere, and the plasmasphere of many planetary bodies. For example, the ionosphere has been shown to respond to space weather events induced by Solar activity, as well as to atmospheric events, and events inContinue reading “PULSAR: Planetary pULSe-tAkeR”
Inflatable Starshade for Earthlike Exoplanets
official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY John MatherNASA Goddard Space Flight Center We will design the first family of ISEE’s (Inflatable Starshade for Earthlike Exoplanets) with sizes from 35 to 100 m diameter. A starshade would enable any telescope to observe exoplanets, a top priority for astronomy worldwide. Compared with other starshade concepts, we aim forContinue reading “Inflatable Starshade for Earthlike Exoplanets”
Beholding Black Hole Power with the Accretion Explorer Interferometer
official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Kimberly WeaverNASA Goddard Space Flight Center Some of the most enigmatic objects in the Universe are giant supermassive black holes (SMBH). Yet after 30 years of study, we don’t know precisely how these objects produce their power. This requires observations at X-ray wavelengths. The state-of-the-art for X-ray images is ChandraContinue reading “Beholding Black Hole Power with the Accretion Explorer Interferometer”
