Take a Tour of the Space Station With Astronaut Chris Cassidy | NASA ISS Science HD - Video
With only a few nights left in August, let's bid adieu with a couple of nice International Space Station passes.
Look toward the northwest at 9:05 p.m. Tuesday for a bright, moving speck of light.
The ISS will fly just behind the bowl of the Big Dipper and then arc high overhead to an easy spot near the bright star Vega a little after 9:07 p.m.
This is space-station viewing at its best since the pass takes it to a vanishing point above the moon at 9:09 p.m.
While you're out admiring the station, check out Mars and Saturn with Spica in the southwest. This dynamic trio has done a very cool dance of cosmic musical chairs the past few weeks, with Mars confusing the game with some sort of Chinese fire drill.
Mars just can't seem to stay put and has been moving between Saturn and Spica like a restless preschooler.
Mars currently sits high above and left of Saturn while Spica rests calmly below.
The last night of August treats us to another ISS pass at 8:57 p.m.
This one arrives from the west-northwest and is quite a bit dimmer than the extra-shiny show we'll have had two nights earlier.

Telexploration: How video game technologies can take NASA to the next level - Video
NASA is now utilizing surplus military drones to investigate hurricanes from Maine to the Caribbean.
WJZ 13 in Baltimore reports the space agency launched a drone from its Wallops Island facility in Virginia on Wednesday in order to get a close-up look at Hurricane Humberto, still lingering off the Eastern seaboard.
The purpose is to give people warning of whats going to be happening. How strong is it going to be? Do I need to board up the house or not? Chris Naftel of the Global Hawk Project told the CBS affiliate.
The U.S. Air Force donated the Global Hawk surveillance drones to NASA, which then replaced the drones spy gear with scientific instruments to examine severe storms, and specifically hurricanes.
(We) will have a permanent ground station here. So Global Hawks will be a permanent part of our future here, Shane Dover of the Wallops Aircraft Office told WJZ 13.
There are two questions on which NASA scientists primarily want the drone research to focus. One is what role thunderstorms within a hurricane play in its intensification. Researchers aren't sure if the thunderstorms are a driver of storm intensity or a symptom of it.
The other is what role the Saharan Air Layer plays in the tropical storm development. The Saharan Air Layer is a dry, hot, dusty layer of air from Africa. Scientists have been at odds with each other over whether it helps hurricanes strengthen or does the opposite. One school of thought is that the Saharan Air Layer provides energy for storms to grow, while others have suggested it is a negative influence on storm growth because of the effect the dry air has on wet storms.
"There's a bit of a debate in terms of how important it is, one way or the other," said Scott Braun, a research meteorologist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., who is the drone project's principal investigator.
This is the second year NASA has launched Global Hawks from the Eastern Shore of Virginia, a strategic location that allows drones to spend plenty of time studying storms shortly after they form off the coast of Africa or as they approach the Caribbean Sea or Gulf of Mexico.
This year's mission will end later this month, and the third and final year of the project's flights will start again next August. NASA officials hope three years of flights will give them enough data to begin answering their questions.

Nearly a dozen NASA websites run from the heart of Silicon Valley were hacked on Tuesday and remain offline days later, following a politically motivated digital broadside against the space agency.
My understanding is the entire NASA Ames Center had a hack attack that took the website down, spokesman JD Harrington told FoxNews.com. However, another NASA spokesman later denied that the entire center was taken down, instead saying that the attack was of a much smaller scope.
The Ames Center in Mountain View, Calif., where scientists once worked on the Viking and Pioneer spacecraft, currently houses high-tech facilities for NASA and others; Google leases 42.2 acres at Ames for a planned 1.2 million square foot of office and R&D space, for example.
A group calling itself BMPoC took credit for the hack, saying it had taken down the sites to protest UScyber intelligence activities.
On Sept. 10, 2013, a Brazilian hacker group posted a political message on a number of NASA websites. a NASA spokesman told FoxNews.com. Within hours of the initial posting, information technology staff at the Ames Research Center discovered the message and immediately started an investigation, which is ongoing. At no point were any of the agencys primary websites, missions or classified systems compromised.

NASA will be implementing the IT security measures described in the attached memo this week. I am sending this note to all of HEOMD so that you have a clearer understanding of what this means to you and any personal devices you connect to NASA's email / NOMAD ActiveSync service, and so you aren't taken by surprise if or when your personal device starts asking you to do things, like setting an unlock code.
- ActiveSync is the primary means of connecting a device such as an iPhone, iPad, Android or other type of device to NOMAD so that you can access your NASA email on the device. ActiveSync has the ability to 'push' certain policies to any device that uses ActiveSync to connect to NASA's email system. When you configure and connect your device to NASA's email system, though you may select "Microsoft Exchange" as the connectivity option, ActiveSync is the actual service and protocol that does the work to create and maintain the connection and to get and send your email.
- Understand that NASA has not banned use of your own personal devices to access NOMAD / NASA email, though NASA does have the authority and ability to do so. The phrase "Bring Your Own Device", or "BYOD" is used to denote such devices that are not issued by NASA or the Government, but which are instead personally owned.
- For some odd reason, there are a significant number of non-NASA issued and non-Government devices that are accessing NOMAD via ActiveSync. Even more odd is that the number of new non-NASA devices that connect to NOMAD increases significantly in the days and weeks immediately after Christmas. (Yeah, I know why, but I want to add a sense of mystery here).
- Accessing email and other NASA information that is not for public release via personal devices does pose some risk to NASA data; implementing certain security precautions on a device helps reduce that risk significantly should that device be lost or stolen, regardless of whether it is a government-owned or personally owned device. Connecting to NOMAD via a personal device is a privilege, not a right. With the privilege come some restrictions, and some risks. By connecting your personal device to NOMAD or the NASA internal network, you are implicitly accepting those restrictions and risks.
- The attached policy is a compromise between allowing use of personal devices and banning personal devices entirely from connecting to NOMAD. The goal here is to ensure that some minimum security is enabled on any device that NASA does not manage and that is connecting to NOMAD.
- The policies that NASA's NOMAD / ActiveSync server will be pushing to your personal device at a minimum will enable several capabilities on your device to improve its security. First, the policies will ensure that a PIN or passcode is set and that must be used to unlock the device so that if it is lost or stolen, it will not be easy for an unauthorized individual to gain access to your email. Second, where a device can implement this, the policies pushed will set the device to be auto-wiped if there are more than 10 failed attempts to unlock the device; this is to reduce the likelihood of a brute-force guessing of the unlock code. Third, the policies will ensure that encryption capabilities for data-at-rest are turned on for your personal device.
- Each device is different, so I'm not certain what the effects will be on every type of device. I do know that for iOS devices such as iPhones or iPads the changes won't be too onerous. iOS uses data-at-rest encryption by default, so that is already turned on. If you do not have an unlock code set on your iOS device, once the policies are pushed, you will be prompted to set at minimum a 4 digit unlock code, and your device will auto-lock after 15 minutes being idle. Also, failure to input the correct unlock code after 10 tries will auto-wipe the device. Also, the option is there for a remote wipe of your device from ActiveSync, but that option will not be used without the device owner's direct permission and by their request. Again, I am not certain what you will see or how other devices will react to the policies being pushed.
- Contrary to the nonsense you've been reading at nasawatch or elsewhere, NASA does not obtain control of your personal device; NASA cannot remotely read the contents of your device; NASA does not know your unlock code; and NASA will not remotely trigger a wipe of your personal device without your direct authorization to do so. We are NASA, not NSA. Don't drop the first 'A', eh?
