New Visitors Arrive at the Moon
It has been a long and loopy flight for two spacecraft. Now, after one and a half years and making more than 90 orbit maneuvers, along with numerous gravitational boosts, NASA’s ARTEMIS spacecraft have been repurposed – leaving orbit around Earth to arrive at their...Ultrasound: Space Research Spurs Terrestrial Health Care Benefits
The development of exam techniques for use on the International Space Station (ISS) is expanding the use of ultrasound on Earth. These techniques are in use by non-physician astronauts to perform ultrasound exams on their space colleagues. Why ultrasound? Ultrasound...Reusable Rocket Testing Underway at Spaceport America
The desert landscape of New Mexico’s Spaceport America is a perfect setting for testing rockets. In fact, the father of American rocketry, Robert Goddard, found the area ideal for his trial testing of hardware. Armadillo Aerospace of Rockwall, Texas is now test flying...NASA’s Mars Rover: On The Move! (video)
NASA is readying the Mars Science Laboratory’s Curiosity rover for its sendoff to the red planet – but first things first. A new video has captured the crating up of the huge robot at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for shipment to Florida. Check out this fast-paced...Wanted! Citizen Scientists for New Horizons Flyby Target
Want to be known as a far out “Ice Hunter” for NASA’s New Horizons mission now en route to the Pluto system? A citizen science project has been established – one that can help scientists search through specially-obtained telescopic images for currently unknown objects...SETI Signals for Funding: New Site Offers Public Involvement
There’s no question that the search for life elsewhere is a profound enterprise in human history. As the quest continues to search and find other planets circling other stars, the hunger to find out just how crowded the universe is out there also grows. The search for...Cold Hard Facts! New Satellite Data Explores Fragile Arctic
The first maps of ice thickness courtesy of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) CryoSat mission are in – a new tool to advance polar science. ESA’s CryoSat was lofted in April 2010. From orbit, the spacecraft has spent the last seven months delivering precise...Reentry Recorder Onboard Incoming Automated Transfer Vehicle
Update: First word post-reentry of the ATV is that this experiment failed to phone home! An analysis is underway to determine what happened to the device. Meanwhile, data from the successful test of this device from the March reentry is ongoing and promises to provide...Satellite Imagery of Arizona’s Raging Fires
Satellite images are helping emergency managers fight the largest fire in Arizona history. For example, the Landsat 5 satellite has captured images of the raging fires. Landsat is a joint effort of both NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Both emergency...Space Talk
A proud moment for humanity - the #NASA–#ISRO satellite #NISAR has entered its final science-operations phase.
As its powerful radar turns skyward, we’re poised to unlock new insights into #Earth’s changing #climate, #ecosystems, and natural #hazards.
May this mission inspire…
On 29 November 2018, the world took a historic leap in space exploration when #NASA’s InSight lander deployed its seismometer on Mars - capturing #Marsquakes for the very first time.
This breakthrough opened a new window into understanding the #RedPlanet’s interior and…
