Did you know NASA once launched a giant science experiment covered in materials, just to see how they'd fare in space? The Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) started as a meteorite shield, but evolved to study everything space throws at our stuff. The biggest threat? Atomic oxygen, slowly chomping away at common materials! Originally a 12-month mission, LDEF spent nearly 6 years in orbit due to delays and the Challenger disaster. It was WEEKS from burning up upon re-entry when Columbia finally retrieved it! #NASA #SpaceTech #LDEF #Science #MaterialScience #SpaceDebris #Innovation #LongDurationExposureFacility https://lnkd.in/dMkY-fhy

🚀 Space nerds unite! 🌍✨ Did you know you can track the International Space Station (ISS) live as it orbits Earth at an incredible speed of 28,000 km/h? Thanks to NASA's tracking tool, you can now literally keep an eye on humanity’s home away from home, floating above our heads! 🌌 🔗 Check it out here: Spot the Station - NASA (https://lnkd.in/g36cWUs) The ISS completes an orbit every 90 minutes, allowing the astronauts aboard to see 16 sunrises and sunsets in just one Earth day! 🌞🌚 📡 But what makes the ISS even more fascinating? Besides serving as a hub for cutting-edge research - ranging from biology and materials science to space technology - it's also a symbol of international collaboration. Scientists from around the world unite for the sake of advancing knowledge and pushing boundaries of what's possible in space. ⚡ Quick ISS Facts: • Altitude: 400 km above Earth 🌍 • Operates with solar panels the size of a football field 🏟️ • Hosts an average of 6 astronauts at a time 🚀 Curious about when it'll pass over your location? Get notified via email or text from NASA and watch it streak across the night sky! It’s one of the brightest objects up there - and no telescope required! 👨🚀👩🚀 Pro Tip: Next time you catch the ISS passing overhead, take a moment to think about how this orbiting lab plays a critical role in the future of space exploration - maybe even our journey to Mars. 🛰️ #SpaceExploration #STEM #SpaceNerd #ISS #TechInnovation #NASA #InternationalCollaboration #STEM

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration has introduced an innovative tool that lets you write your name using Earth's natural landscapes as captured by Landsat satellite missions. This tool maps out letters using the shapes and patterns found in rivers, coastlines, mountains, and other geographical features. It's a creative way to explore the beauty of Earth's terrains through satellite imagery. Type your name and see it on the satellite imagery... (You can hover over each image to get the coordinates and you can also click on the letter to learn more about the image). You can experience this unique feature by accessing the tool given below... https://lnkd.in/gPFipYsS #NASA #Landsat #RemoteSensing #Space

😍Here's the Earth spelling out Your Names!! This tool from NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration let's you visualize your names written on Earth's Magnificent lanscapes. These are the Landsat Images. The Landsat series of satellites has been observing Earth for over 50 years, collecting breathtaking imagery and invaluable data used to study our planet’s changing surface. With a new online interactive, users can type in their name, then view and export the graphic of that name spelled out in Earth features found in Landsat images. https://lnkd.in/dhPMF48e #NASA #Landsat #RemoteSensing #Geospatial #DataVisualization #GIS #Satellite

On April 8, 2024, North America's last total solar eclipse until 2045 moved across the continent. It made landfallin Mexico, crossed the United States from Texas to Maine, and departed across Canada's Atlantic coast This video offer s viewers highlights of the eclipse from NASAs live commentary Different vantage points include the International Space Station, WB-57 aircraft, and 12 telescopes stationed across North America. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky darkens as if it were dawn or dusk Learn more about this total solar eclipse: htps://go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2024 Track this eclipse path: https://lnkd.in/eTdc-5AC Editor: Phil Sexton Credit: NASA #nasa #Eclipse #TotalSolarEclipse
