Kennedy set the tone for NASA’s culture in 1961 during his famous speech on going to the Moon, “We choose to go to the Moon not because it’s easy, but because it’s hard; becauseContinue reading “Innovation that Impacts All NASA Missions: Improving How We Engineer Our Systems”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Located inside a high-tech NASA laboratory in Cleveland is something you could almost miss at first glance: a small-scale, fully operational jet engine to test new technology that could make aviation more sustainable.  The engine’s smaller size and modestly equipped test stand means researchers and engineers can try out newlyContinue reading “NASA Uses Small Engine to Enhance Sustainable Jet Research”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA and its international partners are set to receive scientific research samples and hardware as a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft departs the International Space Station on Sunday, April 28 weather permitting. The agency will provide coverage of undocking and departure beginning at 12:45 p.m. EDT on NASA+, NASA Television, theContinue reading “NASA to Provide Coverage as Dragon Departs Station with Science”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The magnificent central bar of NGC 2217 (also known as AM 0619-271) shines bright in the constellation of Canis Major (The Greater Dog), in this image taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Roughly 65 million light-years from Earth, this barred spiral galaxy is a similar size to our Milky Way at 100,000 light-years across. ManyContinue reading “Hubble Spots a Magnificent Barred Galaxy”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The novel approach to estimating river water storage and discharge also identifies regions marked by ‘fingerprints’ of intense water use. A study led by NASA researchers provides new estimates of how much water courses through Earth’s rivers, the rates at which it’s flowing into the ocean, and how much bothContinue reading “NASA-Led Study Provides New Global Accounting of Earth’s Rivers”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Identification of Noise Sources During Launch Using Phased Array Microphone Systems  Every part of a launch vehicle, launch pad, and ground operation equipment is subjected to the high acoustic load generated during lift-off [1]. Therefore, many extreme measures are taken to try to suppress this acoustic environment by damping withContinue reading “Identification of Noise Sources During Launch Using Phased Array Microphone Systems”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY At the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, interns from Cal State LA are learning key skills studying the origins of life. What does wastewater management in Los Angeles have to do with the search for life on Mars? Eduardo Martinez certainly didn’t make the connection when he was pursuing a master’sContinue reading “NASA Grant Brings Students at Underserved Institutions to the Stars”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY A strategy for transferring spacecraft trajectories between flight mechanics tools, called Trajectory Reverse Engineering (TRE), has been developed[1]. This innovative technique has been designed to be generic, enabling its application between any pair of tools, and to be resilient to the differences found in the dynamical and numerical models uniqueContinue reading “Trajectory Reverse Engineering “

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA is working to resume science operations of the agency’s Hubble Space Telescope after it entered safe mode April 23 due to an ongoing gyroscope (gyro) issue. Hubble’s instruments are stable, and the telescope is in good health. The telescope automatically entered safe mode when one of its three gyroscopesContinue reading “NASA’s Hubble Pauses Science Due to Gyro Issue”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA partners with commercial companies to provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective transportation of cargo and crew members to and from the International Space Station. A platform for long-duration research in microgravity, the station has operated continuously for more than 23 years, its crew members conducting a broad range of technologyContinue reading “NASA’s Commercial Partners Deliver Cargo, Crew for Station Science”
