"Starliner has remained at the ISS. Its mission, known as Crew Flight Test (CFT), was extended beyond the 10-day nominal timeline, then extended again beyond 45 days when the batteries (the main duration-limiting factor) were behaving better than expected." ⬇️   "Boeing Starliner's two astronauts knew to expect the unexpected when they took off on the spacecraft's first crewed mission on June 5."  NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration International Space Station National Laboratory Boeing StarLiner Read more: https://lnkd.in/gPV8SHzj   ⬇️   Attention leaders, and those who aspire to lead in the space industry, learn about the world’s first ever MBA Space Leadership program with Kennedy University Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gtf_8xEk   #distancelearning #globaleconomy #highered #highereducation #onlinemba #leadershipmba #mba #mbaonline #transformativelearning #leaderMBA   #astronaut #NASA #NASAspaceprogram #space #spacetechnology #spaceprogram #ISS #InternationalSpaceStation

CGPT SUMMARY: NASA has selected 15 visionary concepts for its 2025 Phase I awards under the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program. These early-stage studies aim to transform future aerospace missions. Below is a list of some of the awardees and a brief summary of their proposed concepts: 1. Ryan Weed, Helicity Space LLC (Pasadena, California): Proposes a constellation of spacecraft powered by the Helicity Drive, a compact and scalable fusion propulsion system. This technology could enable rapid, multi-directional exploration of the heliosphere and beyond, providing unprecedented insights into how the Sun interacts with our solar system and interstellar space. 2. Martin Bermudez, Skyeports LLC (Sacramento, California): Introduces the concept of constructing a large-scale lunar habitat, nicknamed LUNGS (Lunar Glass Structure), by melting lunar glass compounds to create a large spherical shell structure. This approach offers a promising solution for establishing self-sustaining, large-scale habitats on the lunar surface. 3. Justin Yim, University of Illinois (Urbana, Illinois): Proposes a jumping robot named LEAP (Legged Exploration Across the Plume) as a novel robotic sampling concept to explore Enceladus, Saturn's icy moon. The LEAP robots could collect pristine, ocean-derived material directly from Enceladus's jets and measure particle properties across multiple jets by traveling from one to another. 4. Michael Hecht, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, Massachusetts): Proposes EVE (Exploring Venus with Electrolysis), a concept aimed at exploring Venus using electrolysis techniques. 5. Selim Shahriar, Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois): Introduces SUPREME-QG: Space-borne Ultra-Precise Measurement of the Equivalence Principle Signature of Quantum Gravity, a concept focused on precise measurements related to quantum gravity in space. 6. Phillip Ansell, University of Illinois (Urbana, Illinois): Proposes Hy2PASS (Hydrogen Hybrid Power for Aviation Sustainable Systems), focusing on sustainable aviation power systems using hydrogen hybrid technology. 7. Ryan Benson, ThinkOrbital Inc. (Boulder, Colorado): Introduces the Construction Assembly Destination, a concept aimed at developing new methods for constructing and assembling structures in space. 8. Gyula Greschik, Tentguild Engineering Co. (Boulder, Colorado): Proposes The Ribbon: Structure Free Sail for Solar Polar Observation, focusing on innovative solar observation techniques using a structure-free sail. 9. Marco Quadrelli, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Southern California): Introduces PULSAR: Planetary pULSe-tAkeR, a concept aimed at advancing planetary exploration technologies. 10. Ben Hockman, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Southern California): Proposes a concept focused on developing new technologies for space exploration missions.

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration selected 15 visionary ideas for its NIAC (NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts) program which develops concepts to transform future missions for the benefit of all. Chosen from companies and institutions across the United States, the 2025 Phase I awardees represent a wide range of aerospace concepts...https://lnkd.in/degbFid7

Short-term focus and aging infrastructure at NASA puts space programs at risk, investigators tell Congress A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) provided to the United States Congress regarding future prospects for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) highlights sagging funding, obsolete infrastructure, and pressure on short-term priorities rather than long-term success. https://lnkd.in/dKZMAnjf

We are about T-2 hours for the launch of SpaceX and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Crew-9 mission. Watch the live stream using the link below. While every crew launch is special, here are a few unique things about this one: - Only two astronauts onboard as two empty seats are saved for bringing back two US astronauts from the ISS. - This will be SpaceX's first crewed mission from SLC-40 pad at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This gives SpaceX two launch pads ( 39-A being the first) capable of launching crew. - NASA has filled the two empty Crew-9 seats with extra cargo and supplies, including a new Dragon spacesuit. Go Dragon! #SpaceX #humanspaceflight #nasa https://lnkd.in/gFNkqszn

"NASA plans to soon make its first robotic lunar lander awards in more than a year as the agency and the industry grapple with uncertainty in the overall program linked to the cancellation of a rover mission."     👉 "The award would be the first for a CLPS lander mission since the agency selected Firefly Aerospace in March 2023 for a landing on the far side of the moon."

NASA has approved the Axiom-4 mission, which will have India’s Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla as its pilot. The mission, set for a 14-day stay at the International Space Station (ISS), will include three additional astronauts. Former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, who currently serves as Axiom Space’s director of human spaceflight, will command the mission. Meanwhile, ISRO astronaut and Indian Air Force officer Shubhanshu Shukla will take on the role of pilot. #IndianAirforce #ShubhanshuShukla #NASA #ATCard #CityNewsChannel #CityUpdates #stayconnected #cnc24

ispace, inc. and Firefly have successfully launched and are on their way to the moon. There are dozens of other companies hitching a ride on both.
