official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy NGC 4535, which is situated about 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo (the Maiden). Through a small telescope, this galaxy appears extremely faint, giving it the nickname ‘Lost Galaxy’. With a mirror spanning nearly eight feet (2.4 meters) across andContinue reading “Hubble Seeks Clusters in ‘Lost Galaxy’”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Perseverance confirmed a long-suspected phenomenon in which electrical discharges and their associated shock waves can be born within Red Planet mini-twisters. NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has recorded the sounds of electrical discharges —sparks — and mini-sonic booms in dust devils on Mars. Long theorized, the phenomenon has now been confirmedContinue reading “NASA Rover Detects Electric Sparks in Mars Dust Devils, Storms”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Hazardous Materials Summary Tables (HMSTs) are a compilation of the chemical, biological, and flammability hazards of materials on a given flight or mission. HMSTs are required by Safety for all Programs, including but not limited to ISS, Commercial Crew Program (CCP), Multi Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV), and Gateway. Johnson SpaceContinue reading “Hazardous Material Summary Tables (HMSTs)”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Toxicology and Environmental Chemistry (TEC) monitors airborne contaminants in both spacecraft air and water. In-flight monitors are employed to provide real-time insight into the environmental conditions on ISS. Archival samples are collected and returned to Earth for full characterization of ISS air and water. Real-time in-flight air analytical instruments includeContinue reading “Toxicology Analysis of Spacecraft Air”

In our entire solar system, the only object that shines with itsContinue reading “Waxing Gibbous Moon”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Next-generation drone flight software is just one of 25 technologies for the Red Planet that the space agency funded for development this year. When NASA engineers want to test a concept for exploring the Red Planet, they have to find ways to create Mars-like conditions here on Earth. Then theyContinue reading “NASA Tests Drones in Death Valley, Preps for Martian Sands and Skies”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA is marking America’s 250th year with a bold new symbol of the nation’s relentless drive to explore. The America 250 emblem is now on the twin solid rocket boosters of the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket for Artemis II — the powerhouse that will launch a crew of fourContinue reading “NASA’s Moon Rocket Celebrates 250 Years of American Innovation”
