official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The subject of this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image is NGC 1637, a spiral galaxy located 38 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Eridanus, the River. This image comes from an observing program dedicated to studying star formation in nearby galaxies. Stars form in cold, dusty gas clouds thatContinue reading “Hubble Spots a Spiral in the Celestial River”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA will soon test advancements made on a key tool for measuring the unique “sonic thumps” that its quiet supersonic X-59 research aircraft will make while flying. A shock-sensing probe is a cone-shaped air data probe developed with specific features to capture the unique shock waves the X-59 will produce.Continue reading “NASA to Test Technology for X-59’s Unique Shock Wave Measurements”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY A new American human-rated spacecraft made its first foray into space on Dec. 5, 2014. Under contract to NASA, Lockheed Martin builds Orion as the vehicle to take American astronauts back to the Moon and eventually beyond. Orion’s overall shape harkens back to the Apollo Command and Service Modules, butContinue reading “10 Years Ago: Orion Flies its First Mission”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY What does all this sighting information mean? Important: The International Space Station orbits with an inclination of 51.6 degrees. This means that, as it orbits, the farthest north and south of the Equator it will ever go is 51.6 degrees latitude. If you live north or south of 51.6 degrees, theContinue reading “How do I Spot The Station?”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY International Space Station trajectory data is now available to the public! This data, called an ephemeris, is generated by the ISS Trajectory Operations and Planning Officer (TOPO) flight controllers in the Mission Control Center at NASA’s Johnson Space Center. NASA is providing this information for use by the general public.

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Why is the space station up there? The space station is Earth’s only microgravity laboratory. This football field-sized platform hosts a plethora of science and technology experiments that are continuously being conducted by crew members, or are automated. Research aboard the orbiting laboratory holds benefits for life back on Earth,Continue reading “Spot the Station Frequently Asked Questions”
