Watch It! NASA Set to Fly Inflatable Reentry Vehicle Experiment (Update 2)
UPDATE: IRVE-3 Scores Successful Test A large inflatable heat shield developed by NASA’s Space Technology Program has successfully survived a trip through Earth’s atmosphere while travelling at hypersonic speeds up to 7,600 mph. The Inflatable Reentry...Neil Armstrong Medal Goes to “Hero of the Hudson”
Two American aerospace heroes are to meet at week’s end at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. The first human to step onto the Moon, Neil Armstrong, will present the Neil Armstrong Medal of Excellence to Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, captain of the US...Space Elevator for the Moon Proposed
Credit: LiftPort Group It is not science fiction. It’s a way to colonize space using today’s technologies and materials. That’s the view of advocates for planting a space elevator on the Moon. The concept would consist of a ribbon made of very strong and very light...NASA’s Summer of Innovation Shifts into High Gear
Credit: White House Thousands of middle school students and teachers are to be engaged with NASA through its Summer of Innovation initiative, to be kicked off on June 10. The effort is focused on stimulating math and science-based education programs. NASA’s goal is...Titan Through Time
Titan Through Time will be a 2 1/2 day (Tuesday-Thursday) workshop hosted at NASA/GSFC in Maryland, aimed at bringing together the planetary research community to share recent topical results and to debate about Titan’s formation, evolution and fate. This...Colloquium Series Lecture: Starship Life Support
Dr. Jones will report on the design and cost of a starship, with emphasis on life support systems. He will describe a multigenerational interstellar voyage to colonize a new planet. Nuclear propulsion is required. The mission is more feasible if a small crew travels...Next Generation Exploration Conference
