International Space Station’s Top 10 Science Accomplishments
As though she was counting down a space mission launch, NASA International Space Station program scientist Julie Robinson has been running through her list of top 10 science achievements carried out aboard the six person orbiting science lab with a...Mars Express Video – Take a Journey Over the Red Planet
The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express spacecraft was launched in early June 2003. On arrival at the Red Planet six-and-a-half months later, it has since orbited the planet nearly 12,500 times. From that orbital perch above Mars, the spacecraft has provided...Hubble, Chandra, Spitzer Great Observatories to Join Forces
Three of NASA’s most capable space telescopes are joining forces for “Frontier Fields,” a three year campaign to study six of the most massive galaxy clusters in the universe. They will start with Abell 2744, also known as Pandora’s Cluster, a...Orbital Sciences Poised to Become 2nd Commercial Space Station Resupply Service
The Orbital Sciences Corps’ Cygnus re-supply capsule departed the International Space Station early Tuesday, lining up the Dulles, Va., based company to become the International Space Station’s second U. S. commercial re-supply service. SpaceX, of Hawthorne, Calif.,...Luxury Looks at Planet Earth
Imagine yourself tucked inside a luxuriously appointed space-qualified capsule, then lifted by a high altitude balloon to over 18 miles (30 kilometers). On location, you and fellow passengers will remain aloft for approximately two hours before gliding back to Earth...U. S. Respect for NASA Positive
NASA scores high in a new poll of U. S. federal agencies carried out during the October U. S. Government shutdown and worker furlough that disrupted many operations.
