official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features a richness of spiral galaxies: the large, prominent spiral galaxy on the right side of the image is NGC 1356; the two apparently smaller spiral galaxies flanking it are LEDA 467699 (above it) and LEDA 95415 (very close at its left) respectively; and finally,Continue reading “Hubble Views a Vast Galactic Neighborhood”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA selected the 2024 Phase I awardees for its program to fund ideas that could  innovate for the benefit of all and transform future agency missions. From proposals to explore low Earth orbit to the stars, the 13 concepts chosen stem from companies and institutions across the United States. TheContinue reading “Funding Future Tech: NASA Names 2024 Innovative Concept Studies”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Amazonian leaders visit “Space for Earth,” an immersive audio-visual installation that draws from near real-time satellite data and images, in NASA’s Earth Information Center at the NASA Headquarters Mary W. Jackson Building in Washington on Nov. 17, 2023. The leaders, joined by University of Richmond faculty and NASA representatives, gatheredContinue reading “Amazonian Leaders Visit “Space for Earth””

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Zhang, Beijia Zhang, BeijiaMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Lincoln Lab Very large space-based RF antennas can be large and expensive to manufacture and deploy. These problems become more challenging for cases when an array of antennas are needed such as for correlation interferometers that provide high spatial resolution of EarthContinue reading “LIFA: Lightweight Fiber-based Antenna for Small Sat-Compatible Radiometry”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Thomas EubanksSpace Initiatives, Inc. Tiny gram-scale interstellar probes pushed by laser light are likely to be the only technology capable of reaching another star this century. We presuppose availability by mid-century of a laser beamer powerful enough (~100-GW) to boost a few grams to relativistic speed, lasersails robust enough toContinue reading “Swarming Proxima Centauri: Coherent Picospacecraft Swarms Over Interstellar Distances”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Alvaro Romero-CalvoGeorgia Tech Research Corporation Human space exploration is presented with multiple challenges, such as the near absence of buoyancy in orbit or the reliable, efficient, and sustainable operation of life support systems. The production and management of oxygen and hydrogen are of key importance for long-term space travel and,Continue reading “Magnetohydrodynamic Drive for Hydrogen and Oxygen Production in Mars Transfer”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY James BickfordCharles Stark Draper Laboratory New exciting missions, such as a rendezvous with a passing interstellar object, or a multi-target observing effort at the solar gravitational focus, require velocities that are well in excess of conventional rocketry. Exotic solar sail approaches may enable reaching the required distant localities, but areContinue reading “Thin Film Isotope Nuclear Engine Rocket (TFINER)”
