official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY On-demand nutrient production system for long-duration missions When astronauts embark on long space missions, they’ll need to grow their own food because pre-packaged meals from Earth lose their nutritional value over time. The BioNutrients project at Ames Research Center’s Space Biosciences Division has solved this problem by using genetic engineering toContinue reading “BioNutrients Flight Experiments”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Background: Even intense exercise by astronauts cannot compensate for muscle atrophy caused by microgravity. Atrophy occurs, in part, by way of an underlying mechanism that regulates calcium uptake. Recent research has shown exposure to spaceflight alters the uptake of calcium in muscles. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive these changesContinue reading “Spaceflight Atrophy Studied with Machine Learning”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA has confirmed its Dragonfly rotorcraft mission to Saturn’s organic-rich moon Titan. The decision allows the mission to progress to completion of final design, followed by the construction and testing of the entire spacecraft and science instruments. “Dragonfly is a spectacular science mission with broad community interest, and we areContinue reading “NASA’s Dragonfly Rotorcraft Mission to Saturn’s Moon Titan Confirmed”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY After investigating the high-standing bedrock at the Bunsen Peak workspace deep within the Margin Unit, the unique nature and composition of this rock was deemed worthy for collection of Perseverance’s 24th rock core sample, Comet Geyser! Bunsen Peak is named after a prominent peak in Yellowstone National, Park, Wyoming, USA,Continue reading “Comet Geyser: Perseverance’s 24th Rock Core”

During the mission, sheContinue reading “BioNutrients-3 Experiment Completed During Analog Astronaut Mission”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Did you know the Sun has moss? Due to its resemblance to the earthly plants, scientists have named a small-scale, bright, patchy structure made of plasma in the solar atmosphere “moss.” This moss, which was first identified in 1999 by NASA’s TRACE mission, blossoms around the center of a sunspotContinue reading “NASA Observations Find What Helps Heat Roots of ‘Moss’ on Sun”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Astronauts can make service visits to the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space Telescope, but what do you do if the spacecraft needing a replacement part is the farthest human-made object from Earth, more than twice as distant as Pluto? The answer, as the flight team for the Voyager Interstellar Mission recently demonstrated,Continue reading “Voyager Maintenance from 7 Billion Miles Away”
