[image-50]NASA's planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft makes a comeback with the discovery of the first exoplanet found using its new mission -- K2.
The discovery was made when astronomers and engineers devised an ingenious way to repurpose Kepler for the K2 mission and continue its search of the cosmos for other worlds.
"Last summer, the possibility of a scientifically productive mission for Kepler after its reaction wheel failure in its extended mission was not part of the conversation," said Paul Hertz, NASA's astrophysics division director at the agency's headquarters in Washington. "Today, thanks to an innovative idea and lots of hard work by the NASA and Ball Aerospace team, Kepler may well deliver the first candidates for follow-up study by the James Webb Space Telescope to characterize the atmospheres of distant worlds and search for signatures of life."
Lead researcher Andrew Vanderburg, a graduate student at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, studied publicly available data collected by the spacecraft during a test of K2 in February 2014. The discovery was confirmed with measurements taken by the HARPS-North spectrograph of the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo in the Canary Islands, which captured the wobble of the star caused by the planets gravitational tug as it orbits.
The newly confirmed planet, HIP 116454b, is 2.5 times the diameter of Earth and follows a close, nine-day orbit around a star that is smaller and cooler than our sun, making the planet too hot for life as we know it. HIP 116454b and its star are 180 light-years from Earth, toward the constellation Pisces.
Keplers onboard camera detects planets by looking for transits -- when a distant star dims slightly as a planet crosses in front of it. The smaller the planet, the weaker the dimming, so brightness measurements must be exquisitely precise. To enable that precision, the spacecraft must maintain steady pointing. In May 2013, data collection during Kepler's extended prime mission came to an end with the failure of the second of four reaction wheels, which are used to stabilize the spacecraft.
Rather than giving up on the stalwart spacecraft, a team of scientists and engineers crafted a resourceful strategy to use pressure from sunlight as a virtual reaction wheel to help control the spacecraft. The resulting K2 mission promises to not only continue Keplers planet hunt, but also to expand the search to bright nearby stars that harbor planets that can be studied in detail and better understand their composition. K2 also will introduce new opportunities to observe star clusters, active galaxies and supernovae.
Small planets like HIP 116454b, orbiting nearby bright stars, are a scientific sweet spot for K2 as they are good prospects for follow-up ground studies to obtain mass measurements. Using K2s size measurements and ground-based mass measurements, astronomers can calculate the density of a planet to determine whether it is likely a rocky, watery or gaseous world.
"The Kepler mission showed us that planets larger in size than Earth and smaller than Neptune are common in the galaxy, yet they are absent in our solar system," said Steve Howell, Kepler/K2 project scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. "K2 is uniquely positioned to dramatically refine our understanding of these alien worlds and further define the boundary between rocky worlds like Earth and ice giants like Neptune."
Since the K2 mission officially began in May 2014, it has observed more than 35,000 stars and collected data on star clusters, dense star-forming regions, and several planetary objects within our own solar system. It is currently in its third campaign.

Rising on a tongue of flame and easing to a gentle splashdown in the Pacific Ocean nearly 4-1/2 hours later, the National Aeronautics and Space Administrations newest spaceship for human exploration made its debut earlier this month in a virtually flawless initial test flight.
Dubbed Orion, the craft has been hailed as NASAs first step toward putting humans on Mars by the 2030s. Indeed, its purpose is to reinvigorate the agencys human spaceflight program in the post-shuttle era.
But look deeper at Orions potential path to Mars, and the assumptions surrounding it, and the way ahead appears to be littered with question marks.
What will Orion do before then? Will it make enough flights to justify the program? Are NASA budgets big enough to develop the technologies needed for interim missions, let alone realistically fund a trip to Mars? In a time of fiscal austerity, will subsequent presidents and Congresses even want to make that commitment?
Since the last American set boots on the moon in 1972, politicians and NASA officials have struggled with a stubborn question: What now? The money needed to send humans to intriguing places beyond low-Earth orbit is, well, astronomical. The fall of the Soviet Union made it harder politically to justify such big budgets for human spaceflight.
Orion and its goal of a journey to Mars give NASA a fresh start. And the agency is already applying lessons learned from the recent past, looping in other countries to help pick up the tab for the spacecraft.
But the question remains: Can NASA execute a human space-exploration program on tight budgets? With Mars rovers and probes sent to the outer solar system, NASA has worked wonders with its unmanned missions. In many ways, Orion and the journey to Mars represent a test of whether the agency can do the same with its manned-exploration program.
On the plus side, Americas astronaut corps appears to be excited again.
I think youd be hard-pressed to find an astronaut past, present, or future who wouldnt love to fly in Orion, said Rex Walheim, a space shuttle mission specialist and an astronaut liaison to the team building the craft, following the Dec. 5 test flight. This is the true exploration that we live for.
But NASAs current plans for human exploration of space could span six presidential elections and a dozen sessions of Congress. How solid or consistent will Washingtons willingness to send astronauts on deep-space exploration missions be?
See the article here:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- The science world has been mostly fixated on Mars and comets, but some scientists at NASA are starting to talk about Venus -- suggesting a manned mission to our closest neighbor could be simpler and less expensive than a trip to Mars.
For some time, Mars has been the logical next step for the United States space program. It's the closest planet with tolerable, Earth-like conditions. NASA has three robotic rovers actively exploring the Martian planet, and plans to send astronauts to the Red Planet by the 2030s are underway.
But Venus is actually closer to Earth than Mars, and experts say a manned mission there isn't unreasonable. Venus is one of the least hospitable places in the solar system. Its close proximity to the sun makes its surface unimaginably hot -- 462 degrees Celsius. And its lower atmosphere is a highly pressurized oven of noxious gases.
A manned mission to Venus, however, wouldn't have to involve the planet's surface. Researchers say just a few miles higher up and Venus's atmosphere boasts conditions not unlike Earth's, with more a manageable temperature and pressure.
A new study by researchers at the Systems Analysis and Concepts Directorate, part of the NASA Langley Research Center, suggests astronauts could circle Venus in a helium-inflated dirigible -- conducting science experiments as they orbit.
"Venus has value as a destination in and of itself for exploration and colonization," NASA scientist Chris Jones, one of the researchers working on the High Altitude Venus Operational Concept (HAVOC), told IEEE. Jones and fellow researcher Dale Arney say a trip to Venus doesn't have to bee seen as a distraction from NASA's plans for Mars. It could be complementary.
"There are things that you would need to do for a Mars mission, but we see a little easier path through Venus," Jones said.
"If you did Venus first, you could get a leg up on advancing those technologies and those capabilities ahead of doing a human-scale Mars mission. It's a chance to do a practice run, if you will, of going to Mars," Arney said.

NASA's Orion spacecraft returned to Kennedy Space Center in Florida Dec. 18, 2014. The spacecraft flew to an altitude of 3,604 miles in space during a Dec. 5 flight test designed to stress many of the riskiest events Orion will see when it sends astronauts on future missions to an asteroid and eventually on to Mars. (The Denver Post | NASA)
NASA's Orion spacecraft has arrived safely back at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Orion traveled more than 3,600 miles above Earth on Dec. 5 during the four-hour, 24-minute Experimental Test Flight-1, after which it splashed down about 630 miles southwest of San Diego.
Navy divers then recovered the capsule for transport back to San Diego aboard the USS Anchorage. Then Orion began the trip back across the country, hauled in a custom case mounted on the back of a semi.
The United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft lifts off from Cape Canaveral, Fla., early Friday. On a "picture-perfect day," the Colorado-built spacecraft hurtled into space, orbited Earth twice and splashed down four hours later in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego. (Brent Lewis, The Denver Post)
"Despite traveling a bit slower than what we're used to, Orion made pretty good time," said Michael Hawes, Lockheed Martin's Orion program manager. "Most of the team hasn't had eyes on the spacecraft since November, when we rolled to the launch pad, so we're excited to take a look."
Lockheed Martin Space Systems is Orion's prime contractor. The spacecraft and heat shield were designed and built at the company's Waterton Canyon campus.
The heat shield's performance is of prime concern for NASA and Lockheed Martin. Upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, Orion reached speeds of 20,000 mph and temperatures of 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat shield is designed to keep Orion's crew cabin a comfortable 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
When Orion was in port in San Diego, engineers took samples from the spacecraft's heat shield to evaluate its performance. These samples, along with other data, were taken to San Diego Lockheed Martin facilities for analysis.
At Kennedy Space Center, the Orion team will remove the spacecraft's back panels, analyze flight data and perform visual inspections of propulsion systems, fluid lines and more. There also will be work to remove hazardous substances from the spacecraft.
