A NASA-funded study has found that #climate change is making our days longer as polar ice melts. While researchers say the change is in the milliseconds, they also note that this change is accelerating and could have implications for “precise timekeeping” and space navigation.

CLIP X-files to power NASA’s 2029 Mars manned exploration mission! According to the Director of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, "We see no reason why the most efficient instrument of human locomotion cannot be used to power humanity’s multi-planetary exploration and expansion." ;) #NASA #MarsMission #SpaceExploration ..... #Aprilfirst ;)

#AskAnExpert When New Horizons approached a Kuiper Belt object known as Arrokoth, we discovered it wasn't just one object, but a binary system shaped like a peanut. 🥜✨ By studying other Kuiper Belt objects, we found that Arrokoth’s shape is common. This discovery, along with insights into Arrokoth’s rotation and structure, revealed that planets form through an intermediate stage of pebble formation, not just dust accumulation. This new understanding reshaped our knowledge of planetary system formation. https://lnkd.in/dvNDFC6Q #JHUAPL | #NewHorizons | #PlanetaryScience | #SpaceExploration | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Part 2 – NASA Case – Challenges and Goals [Video]. Note: Taxonomies aren't rocket science, but the rocket scientists at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration still need them. Want to know how the best and brightest organize the massive amounts of knowledge in their databases?

Why is GE Aerospace helping advance the science of contrails?   There is much still to be understood about all the variables that impact persistent contrail formation, as well as their long term climate impact.     When designing an engine, there are potential tradeoffs between reducing CO2 and non-CO2 emissions (contrails being one of those non-CO2 varietals, among others like NOx and soot). In order to ensure we are incorporating the right technologies to reduce total environmental impact and deliver value for our customers, It is important to understand the relative environmental and air quality impacts of various emissions species as precisely as possible.   The more we can reduce the uncertainty surrounding contrail formation and impact, the more likely the right incentive structures can be developed for the industry.   Tests like this one, with our partner NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, demonstrate how we're advancing the science for the Future of Flight. As we work on next generation technology programs like the CFM International (CFM) RISE Program, we will continue to engage in and advocate for these vital public-private partnerships across the industry.

66 years ago today, on July 29, 1958, the seeds of the civilian agency NASA were planted. That was the day that the U.S. Congress passed legislation establishing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Since its inception, NASA has sponsored and launched both human and mechanical expeditions into space. And NASA's satellites have also yielded important information on weather forecasting, global communications, the atmosphere, navigation, and more. And Michigan Technological University's relationship with NASA runs deep, too. For instance, last year, MTU's Planetary Surface Technology Development Lab (https://huskyworks.space/) was chosen to advance to Phase 2, Level 3 of the Watts on the Moon Challenge. #nasa #moon #aerospace #wattsonthemoon #space #spaceexploration #michigantech

World Space Week: Throwback Thursday What a week! It's been great to see the industry abuzz, sharing unique perspectives on space and how it's affecting our life on Earth. To round out #WSW2024 we thought we'd look back at a key milestone in our space journey. On 26 June 2022 we launched the first rocket out of the Arnhem Space Centre for NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It was the first rocket launch out of a commercial spaceport in Australia's history, and the first time NASA launched at a commercial spaceport outside of the US. The rocket was a NASA Black Brant IX suborbital sounding rocket, carrying an X-ray Quantum Calorimeter, or XQC, experiment from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The launch was a success and saw two more launches (Sistine and Deuce) follow closely after. #nasa #space
