After nearly 20 years at the Red Planet, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has snapped its 100,000th image of the surface with its HiRISE camera. Short for High ResolutionContinue reading “One of NASA’s Key Cameras Orbiting Mars Takes 100,000th Image”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Enabling Successful Research A major aim of biomedical research at NASA is to acquire data to evaluate, understand, and assess the biomedical hazards of spaceflight and to develop effective countermeasures. Data Science (S&DS) personnel provide statistical support to groups within the NASA JSC Human Health and Performance Directorate and otherContinue reading “Statistics and Data Science”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Does Spaceflight Alter the Human Immune System? Getting sick on Earth is nothing to sneeze at, but for astronauts on deep space exploration missions, the risk for contracting diseases may be elevated due to altered immunity. The Human Health and Performance Directorate’s Immunology/Virology Laboratory is ideally suited to study theContinue reading “Immunology and Virology”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The JSC toxicologists establish guidelines for safe and acceptable levels of individual chemical contaminants in spacecraft air (SMACs) and drinking water (SWEGs) in collaboration with the National Research Council’s Committee on Toxicology (NRC COT) and through peer-reviewed publication.  The framework for establishing these levels is documented for SMACs and SWEGs, and recent refinementsContinue reading “Exposure Guidelines (SMACs and SWEGs)”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory has captured its first images from space, revealing rare views of Earth and the Moon in ultraviolet light. Taken on Nov. 17 — still months before the mission’s science phase begins — these “first light” images confirm the spacecraft is healthy while hinting at the incredibleContinue reading “NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory Reveals ‘First Light’ Images”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY All 10 instruments aboard NASA’s newly launched IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) mission have successfully recorded their first measurements in space. With these “first light” observations, the spacecraft is now collecting preliminary science data as it journeys to its observational post at Lagrange point 1 (L1), about 1 millionContinue reading “NASA’s IMAP Mission Captures ‘First Light,’ Looks Back at Earth “

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have observed a rare type of exoplanet, or planet outside our solar system, whose atmospheric composition challenges our understanding of how it formed.  Officially named PSR J2322-2650b, this Jupiter-mass object appears to have an exotic helium-and-carbon-dominated atmosphere unlike any ever seen before. SootContinue reading “NASA’s Webb Observes Exoplanet Whose Composition Defies Explanation”
