NASA | RRM: Mission to the Future Delivers the Goods Fill'er up! That's the promise of robotic refueling on orbit: aging satellites can get a new lease on life from a robotic machine making a service call. Or, at least, the dream of such a system got dramatically closer after NASA's robotic mission success. NASA had an idea, and in a series of extraordinary tests, decided to demonstrate that technologies for servicing satellites in space had evolved to levels of material value Continue reading

NASA | GPM Enters Thermal Vacuum Chamber – Video
NASA | GPM Enters Thermal Vacuum Chamber On Tuesday Nov. 13, 2012, the GPM core observatory was moved from the clean room to the thermal vacuum chamber. The spacecraft, wrapped in protective blankets, made the short trip by crane across the testing facility where it was then lowered into the 40-foot (12 meter) diameter test chamber. Continue reading

NASA | OIB: High and Low over the Rift – Video
NASA | OIB: High and Low over the Rift This year Operation IceBridge has returned twice to the Pine Island Glacier, the site of a massive glacial crack poised to potentially create an iceberg the size of New York City. Operation IceBridge returned to the Pine Island Glacier twice in 2012, and NASA glaciologist Kelly Brunt discusses the implications of the glacier's impending calving event. Continue reading

NASA | Planetary CSI: Crater Science Investigations If you want to learn more about the history of Earth and other rocky planets in the solar system, craters are a great place to look. Now, thanks to LRO's LROC instrument, we can take a much closer look at Linn? Continue reading
NASA – Saturn’s Record-Setting Storm – Video
NASA – Saturn's Record-Setting Storm Saturn's 2010 Great White Spot storm has set a new record for largest temperature change ever recorded for a storm on Saturn. By studying the monstrous disturbance using NASA's Cassini spacecraft, researchers spotted a massive belch of energy that sent temperatures soaring to an unprecedented 150 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in Saturn's stratosphere, accompanied by an enormous release of ethylene gas Continue reading
NASA | X-ray Satellites Monitor the Clashing Winds of a Colossal Binary – Video
12-10-2012 09:00 O-type stars are among the most massive and hottest known, pounding their surroundings with intense ultraviolet light and powerful outflows called stellar winds. NASA’s Swift and ESA’s XMM-Newton X-ray observatories took part in a 2011 campaign to monitor the interaction of two O stars bound together in the same binary system: Cygnus OB2 #9. Continue reading
NASA | Landsat – From the Archives – Video
23-07-2012 08:59 The Landsat program is the longest continuous global record of Earth observations from space — ever. On July 23, 1972 NASA launched the first satellite in this program, then known as ERTS, the Earth Resources Technology Satellite and later renamed Landsat 1. In honor of today (Monday, July 23, 2012) being the 40th birthday of Landsat, NASA edited together selections of an archive video from 1973 about the ERTS launch. Continue reading
NASA | The Mars Chamber – Video
18-07-2012 10:01 The Mars chamber is a box–about the size of a refrigerator–that re-creates the temperatures, pressures, and atmosphere of the Martian surface, essentially creating a Mars environment on Earth! Scientists and engineers use this chamber to test experiments on the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument suite–a fully functioning chemistry lab about the Curiosity Mars rover. By re-creating Mars on Earth and using an exact duplicate of SAM, scientists can “pre-run” experiments on SAM to make sure everything will work properly on the Mars rover. Continue reading
NASA | Before the Flare – Video
16-07-2012 16:12 The sun emitted a large flare on July 12, 2012, but earlier in the week it gave a demonstration of how gorgeous solar activity can be. This movie shows the sun from late July 8 to early July 10 shortly before it unleashed an X-class flare beginning at 12:11 PM EDT on July 12 as captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The flare isn’t shown here, but the movie shows how the sun is constantly, and complexly, active. Continue reading
