NASA Voyager Missions to The Outer Solar System: Short Film (1977) | JPL FriendsofNASA.org: From the archives of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), this short film from 1977 describes the mission of the two Voyager spacecraft before they launched on their journey to Jupiter and Saturn later that year. It features early computer graphics, artist’s concepts of the outer solar system, and vintage footage of the antennas from NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN) at Goldstone, California, as well as mission control and a clean room at JPL. Voyager 1 and 2 are now the most distant human-made objects from Earth and the longest continually operating NASA spacecraft. After the twin Voyagers visited Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 2 went on to visit Uranus and Neptune as well. Both spacecraft are now in interstellar space, the space between stars.

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration recently completed the analysis of a recovered space object that survived re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. 🌌🔬 In March 2021, NASA ground controllers used the International Space Station's robotic arm to release a cargo pallet containing aging nickel hydride batteries, totaling about 5,800 pounds. This was done following the delivery and installation of new lithium-ion batteries as part of power upgrades on the space station. While it was expected that the hardware would fully burn up during re-entry on March 8, 2024, a piece of hardware actually survived and impacted a home in Naples, Florida. NASA worked with the homeowner to collect the item and then analyzed it at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

NASA's Space to Ground: "It's Very Suni in Space" | Week of Dec. 6, 2024 FriendsofNASA.org: NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station. The science-packed SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft will wait another week before departing the International Space Station as mission managers monitor weather conditions at the splashdown sites. Meanwhile, the seven-member Expedition 72 crew geared up for a spacewalk planned later in December and serviced an array of science hardware and exercise equipment.

A tiny NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration satellite was launched Saturday from New Zealand with the mission of improving climate change prediction by measuring heat escaping from Earth’s poles for the first time. “This new information -- and we’ve never had it before -- will improve our ability to model what’s happening in the poles, what’s happening in climate,” NASA’s earth sciences research director Karen St. Germain told a recent news conference. The satellite, which is the size of a shoe box, was launched by an Electron rocket, built by a company called Rocket Lab, which lifted off from Mahia in the north of New Zealand. The overall mission is called PREFIRE. The company is later to launch a similar satellite of its own. They will serve to take infrared measurements far above the Arctic and Antarctic so as to measure directly the heat that the poles release into space  ——— To continue reading, click the link in our bio ——— Follow us for more news updates #news #newsupdates #breakingnews #newspaper

The EZIE (Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer) mission will launch next year, providing groundbreaking measurements of the auroral electrojets. These electrical currents are about 60 miles above the ground in a layer of Earth’s atmosphere called the ionosphere, which separates Earth from surrounding space, and will give scientists greater insight into the physics of Earth’s magnetosphere, helping to create better prediction models of the effects of space weather phenomena. Blue Canyon is proud to offer our industry-leading, low-jitter pointing accuracy and heritage 6U CubeSat technology to this project, demonstrating that big science can happen with small satellites.

It was 64 years ago this month that the very first weather satellite was launched by NASA! On April 1, 1960, NASA launched TIROS 1 (Television and InfraRed Observation Satellite) into low Earth orbit as a test to determine if satellites could actually provide any valuable data about weather and Earth as a whole. Now 64 years later, satellites play a crucial role in space exploration from communication to navigation, earth observation to technology development, and so much more. Without satellites, where would space exploration be in 2024? Perhaps the biggest question facing us now, is where will satellite technology be 64 years into the future?

Metadata is a basic enabler. Without metadata, NO data can be found/retrieved, even by the most advanced technologies, like AI, quantum computers, etc. https://lnkd.in/g-aJFnXR Do you or any contacts of yours need our expertise/IP, a copyrighted multilingual metadata, that can do what high technology, like AI, high-end chips, supercomputers, etc., can't do NOW? Thanks. Due to its origin of weapon, AI has risks itself. European Parliament's AI Act has identified a practical list of high-risk AI applications, and EDUCATION is on the list.
