Carr (right), commander, on the other end of the orbital workshop on Feb. 1, 1974. Also in the frame are parts of three spacesuits, used onContinue reading “A View Through Skylab”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Interstate 10, an artery that cuts through the rural drylands of southern New Mexico, is one of the country’s deadliest roadways. On one stretch of the highway, just north of a dry lakebed called Lordsburg Playa, fatal collisions occur with such regularity that officials often call it the “dust trap.”Continue reading “Satellite Data Can Help Limit the Dangers of Windblown Dust”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The remotely operated facility aboard the International Space Station has created another tool that researchers can use to probe the fundamental nature of the world around us. For the first time in space, scientists have produced a quantum gas containing two types of atoms. Accomplished with NASA’s Cold Atom LaboratoryContinue reading “NASA’s Cold Atom Lab Sets Stage for Quantum Chemistry in Space”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY A new study could explain the ‘missing’ exoplanets between super-Earths and sub-Neptunes. Some exoplanets seem to be losing their atmospheres and shrinking. In a new study using NASA’s retired Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers find evidence of a possible cause: The cores of these planets are pushing away their atmospheres fromContinue reading “NASA Data Reveals Possible Reason Some Exoplanets Are Shrinking”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft continues to make progress, most recently moving to the paint barn at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works’ facility in Palmdale, California. The X-59’s paint scheme will include a mainly white body, a NASA “sonic blue” underside, and red accents on the wings. The paint doesn’t justContinue reading “NASA’s X-59 Goes from Green to Red, White, and Blue”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Scientists are following neon signs in a search for clues to one planetary system’s future and the past of another – our own solar system. Following up on a peculiar reading by NASA’s previous infrared flagship observatory, the now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope, the agency’s James Webb Space Telescope detected distinctContinue reading “Webb Follows Neon Signs Toward New Thinking on Planet Formation”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY In the year since NASA’s historic Artemis I mission successfully launched, the agency has been analyzing data from its approximately 25-day journey around the Moon and back to Earth, including data submitted from volunteers around the world as they tracked the uncrewed Orion spacecraft. The flight test, which launched onContinue reading “Volunteers Worldwide Successfully Tracked NASA’s Artemis I Mission”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility C-130 aircraft, shown in this image from Oct. 28, 2023, delivered the agency’s Galactic/Extragalactic ULDB Spectroscopic Terahertz Observatory (GUSTO) payload to McMurdo Station, Antarctica. This was the first mission to Antarctica for the plane. The GUSTO mission, launching aboard a football-stadium-sized, zero-pressure scientific balloon in December 2023,Continue reading “Going for the GUSTO in Antarctica”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY During three weeks in a thermal vacuum chamber in Bengaluru, India, the joint NASA-ISRO satellite demonstrated its hardiness in a harsh, space-like environment. NISAR, the trailblazing Earth-observing radar satellite being developed by the United States and Indian space agencies, passed a major milestone on Nov. 13, emerging from a 21-dayContinue reading “Trailblazing New Earth Satellite Put to Test in Preparation for Launch”
