Wow…Up-close Images! Mars Rover Studies New Find
New images from NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity show the robot now studying a dark rock on the red planet, thought to be an iron meteorite. The toaster-sized rock is being given a scientific look by Opportunity’s robot arm that’s laden with instruments....Mars Rover: New Image, Likely Meteorite
NASA’s Mars Opportunity rover has rolled into close rendezvous with a likely meteorite. The object was seen from a distance, with scientists commanding the robot to scoot on by the possible space rock. Opportunity will be used to further analyze the rock. At first...Mars Rover Closes in on Possible Meteorite (Update)
Opportunity is NASA’s Mars rover on the go – and is rolling into place to inspect its latest find. Scientists believe the rover has come across a possible iron meteorite en route to during its ongoing trek to a new exploration site – the rim of Endeavor crater,...Mars Rover Eyes New Find
NASA’s Opportunity Mars rover appears to have found a possible iron meteorite during its ongoing trek to a new exploration site. Scientists are commanding the robot to roll itself over to obtain close-up imagery of the toaster-sized rock. NASA’s Opportunity rover has...Zero G Ping Pong Balls: Float Zone for Education
Here’s a high-flying mix: Newton’s Laws of Motion, teachers and ping pong balls. Thanks to the Northrop Grumman Corporation Foundation, a novel science experiment was recently held in Cincinnati skies, making use of Zero Gravity Corporation’s aircraft. The flight was...Greenhouse for the Moon, Mars Demonstrated
How does your garden grow…if you’re on the Moon or Mars? Answering that question is on the scientific menu of researchers at the University of Arizona (UA) Controlled Environment Agriculture Center (CEAC). They are demonstrating that plants from Earth could be grown...Space Station to Probe for Antimatter
The largest scientific instrument to be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) is being readied for flight to the orbiting complex early next year. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a state-of-the-art particle physics detector. The AMS-02 will...First Photo! NASA Deep Impact Spacecraft Eyes Comet Target
Sixty days before its flyby, NASA’s Deep Impact spacecraft has snapped a picture of its quarry – comet Hartley 2. The spacecraft is on track for a November 4 flyby of the comet, ready to inspect Hartley 2 for over two months. The spacecraft is on an extended...Asteroids – Tantalizing Targets for Exploration
Thanks to data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, scientists are finding out that asteroids somewhat near Earth – termed Near-Earth Objects, or NEOs – come in all sorts of colors and compositions. Getting to know these space rocks is a step closer in dispatching...Space Talk
President Trump founded the Artemis program in his first term.
Now, with the successful Artemis II mission, NASA is taking a major step forward in returning to the Moon, where we’re building a Moon base, to stay.
Looking forward to celebrating this crew with @POTUS today.
A fast Mars Courier completes its interplanetary transfer burn, flips to point back at Earth and ejects its empty propellant tanks. Thanks to a gas-core nuclear rocket, it'll reach its destination in less than 2 months.
