The Moth: Since NASA Wouldn't Send Me by Richard Garriott - Video
NASA invites social media followers to apply for credentials to get a preview of the Orion spacecrafts first flight test during NASA Social events Dec. 3 at each of its 10 centers.
Orion will launch on a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket from Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 7:05 a.m. EST Dec. 4.
NASA Socials are in-person events for people who engage with the agency through social media networks. Events will be held simultaneously at NASA centers including: Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California; Glenn Research Center in Cleveland; Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland; Johnson Space Center in Houston; Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia; Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama; Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi; and, Armstrong Flight Research Center, which is hosting a joint event with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Each center will be connected via a multi-center NASA Television simulcast with NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida during its event, which was previously announced.
Along with a discussion on Orion and NASAs plan to send humans to Mars, participants will get a unique behind the scenes look at the diverse work of the agency through center tours and presentations by scientists, engineers and managers. The events also will provide guests the opportunity to interact with fellow social media users, space enthusiasts and members of NASA's social media team.
Registration for these NASA Socials opens at 5 p.m. EDT Friday, Oct. 24, and closes at 5 p.m. EST Sunday, Nov. 2. People may register for NASA Socials at multiple locations but will be chosen only for one event. All social media accreditation applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and the number of attendance slots varies by center.

NASA's Hurricane Severe Storms Sentinel or HS3 mission flew the unmanned Global Hawk aircraft on two missions between Sept. 11 and 15 into Hurricane Edouard and scored a bullseye by gathering information in the eye of the strengthening storm. Scientists saw how upper-level wind shear was affecting Edouard on the HS3's Global Hawk flight of the 2014 campaign over Sept. 11 and 12, and saw the hurricane strengthen during the sixth flight on Sept. 15 and 16.
NASA's HS3 mission returned to NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, in Wallops Island Virginia for the third year to investigate the processes that underlie hurricane formation and intensity change in the Atlantic Ocean basin.
NASA's Global Hawk aircraft are unmanned and autonomously operated. That means that pilots located in a control room on the ground continuously monitor the flights. The flight plans are pre-programmed into the Global Hawk's flight control computer from takeoff to landing. However, with guidance from HS3s mission scientists, the pilots often make changes or adjustments to the flight pattern to target particular areas of the storms.
Two of the instruments aboard the Global Hawk that gathered data are the S-HIS and CPL. The S-HIS or Scanning High-resolution Interferometer Sounder gathered a continuous sampling of temperature and relative humidity in the clear-air environment, while the CPL or Cloud Physics Lidar analyzed the vertical structure of aerosols (tiny particles) and the vertical structure of the cloud layers of the hurricane. In addition to the S-HIS and CPL, the Advanced Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS) launched into the hurricane dropsondes that measured profiles of temperature, humidity and full tropospheric wind (winds in every level of the troposphere from top to bottom as the sonde falls).
The Fifth Science Mission Provides a Look at Newly Formed Tropical Storm Edouard's Layers
During the Sept. 11-12 flights over Tropical Storm Edouard, "At 800 millibars (about 2 km or 1.2 miles above the surface) the wind field showed a well-organized cyclonic circulation with winds of at least 35 knots (40.2 mph/64.8 kph) on the eastern side of the storm," said Dr. Scott Braun, HS3 Mission Principal Investigator from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
"The air was generally moist at most dropsonde points except for a few places at large distance from the center and right near the center. The point near the center showed evidence of substantial subsidence (sinking motions) and warming, a relatively weaker wind speed, and a surface pressure of 999 millibars, reminiscent of potentially indicating conditions in a forming eye."
Data from higher levels in the atmosphere, at 400 millibars, also proved interesting. The data showed that Edouard's center of circulation was located northeastward of the lower center at 800 millibars. That means that there was westerly to southwesterly vertical wind shear pushing the higher-level of circulation away from the lower level one. "Secondly," Braun said, "very dry air was being swept into the southern portion of the storm by moderate-strength westerly winds. The combination of shear and dry air aloft likely kept Edouard a weak tropical storm."

Brett Smith for redOrbit.com Your Universe Online
As seen in the Academy Award-winning film Gravity, debris in orbit around Earth is a serious hazard for astronauts and spacecraft operating high above our planet.
On September 28, NASA determined that its Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) satellite, which it operates in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), needed a course adjustment to avoid colliding with a large bit of space junk, according to a recent statement from the agency.
[ Watch the Video: Debris In Motion Space Junk Orbital Debris ]
The piece of space junk determined to be between 4 inches and 3.3 feet in size was moving at nearly 17,000 mph, closing in head on and had the potential to miss the Suomi NPP satellite by only about around 300 feet if evasive maneuvers were not taken. With that knowledge, officials decided to reposition the orbit of the satellite.
Because Suomi NPP moves at a similar speed as the debris object, if there had been an impact, it would have occurred at a combined speed of nearly 35,000 mph, said Harry Solomon, Mission Manager for Suomi NPP at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center. This would have been catastrophic not only to the satellite, but would result in thousands of pieces of new debris.
NASA officials noted that the move emphasizes just how much space debris is flying over our heads at any one time. According to the space agency, there are over 20,000 items being monitored by the Department of Defense for satellite operations around the world. Only around 1,000 of those 20,000 items are working spacecraft. The remainder of the monitored space debris ranges in size from the dimensions of a softball to enormous rocket bodies all orbiting out of control at speeds averaging over 22,000 mph.
Nicholas Johnson, a retired NASA debris expert from the Johnson Space Center in Houston, noted that that objects currently not being tracked are the ones that are the most dangerous.
