Five new NASA airborne field campaigns, including one managed by NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, will take to the skies starting in 2015 to investigate how long-range air pollution, warming ocean waters and fires in Africa affect our climate.

These studies into several incompletely understood Earth system processes were competitively selected as part of NASAs Earth Venture-class projects. Each project is funded at a total cost of no more than $30 million over five years. This funding includes initial development, field campaigns and analysis of data.

This is NASAs second series of Earth Venture suborbital investigations regularly solicited, quick-turnaround projects recommended by the National Research Council in 2007. The first series of five projects was selected in 2010.

These new investigations address a variety of key scientific questions critical to advancing our understanding of how Earth works, said Jack Kaye, associate director for research in NASAs Earth Science Division in Washington. These innovative airborne experiments will let us probe inside processes and locations in unprecedented detail that complements what we can do with our fleet of Earth-observing satellites.

The five selected Earth Venture investigations are:

Melting Greenland glaciers Josh Willis of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory will lead the Oceans Melting Greenland mission to investigate the role of warmer, saltier Atlantic subsurface waters in Greenland glacier melting. The study will help pave the way for improved estimates of future sea level rise by observing changes in glacier melting where ice contacts seawater. Measurements of the ocean bottom as well as seawater properties around Greenland will be taken from ships and the air using several aircraft, including a NASA S-3 from Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, and a Gulfstream III from NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California.

Atmospheric chemistry and air pollution Steven Wofsy of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, will lead the Atmospheric Tomography project to study the impact of human-produced air pollution on certain greenhouse gases. Airborne instruments will look at how atmospheric chemistry is transformed by various air pollutants and at the impact on methane and ozone which affect climate. Flights aboard NASAs DC-8 will originate from the Armstrong Flight Research Center, fly north to the western Arctic, south to the South Pacific, east to the Atlantic, north to Greenland and return to California across central North America.

Ecosystem changes in a warming ocean Michael Behrenfeld of Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, will lead the North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems Study, which seeks to improve predictions of how ocean ecosystems would change with ocean warming. The mission will study the annual life cycle of phytoplankton and the impact small airborne particles derived from marine organisms have on climate in the North Atlantic. The large annual phytoplankton bloom in this region may influence Earths energy budget. Research flights by NASAs C-130 aircraft from Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia, will be coordinated with a University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research vessel. UNOLS, located at the University of Rhode Islands Graduate School of Oceanography in Narragansett, Rhode Island, is an organization of 62 academic institutions and national laboratories involved in oceanographic research.

Black Friday vs. black holes: Both feature matter squeezed into a tiny space.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- Black Friday bargain hunters, do you ever get the feeling that you're being sucked in somewhere against your control, rapidly descending to a dark, cold place?

It could be that feeling after you snatch the last Xbox away from a 9-year-old. Or it could be a black hole.

Shoppers may have Black Friday, but NASA scientists have something that's arguably better: Black Hole Friday.

NASA spent the day tweeting facts about black holes, including a handful of Black Friday-themed jokes.

If humor isn't your thing, the agency also tweeted out a black hole-themed game.

The space agency sent out over a dozen tweets and retweets on black holes.

50 years ago today: NASA's first mission to Mars

Posted on by

This full-circle view combined nearly 900 images taken by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover, generating a panorama with 1.3 billion pixels in the full-resolution version. The view is centered toward the south, with north at both ends. It shows Curiosity at the "Rocknest" site where the rover scooped up samples of windblown dust and sand. Curiosity used three cameras to take the component images on several different days between Oct. 5 and Nov. 16, 2012. NASA

On Nov. 28, 1964, NASA launched its first successful mission to the Red Planet.

The historic Mariner 4 mission returned the first photos ever taken of another planet from deep space. The craft, launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, performed a flyby of Mars, making its closest approach on July 15, 1965. From a distance of about 6,000 miles, the craft captured 21 images of the planet's craggy surface.

A report issued at the time by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said, "There were more than 70 clearly distinguishable craters ranging in diameter from 4 to 120 km (2.5 to 74.5 miles). It seems likely that smaller craters exist; there also may be still larger craters, since Mariner 4 photographed, in all, about one percent of the Martian surface."

Mariner 4 also collected data on the planet's atmospheric pressure, surface temperatures and a weak radiation belt surrounding it. This data provided scientists with important information about how to safely deliver future missions to the Martian surface.

63 Photos

The Mars Science Laboratory vehicle has taken its first very big step - it has landed on the surface of the Red Planet

The spacecraft remained in solar orbit until contact was lost on Dec. 21, 1967, long past the planned eight-month end date.

To celebrate the anniversary, space funding company Uwingu plans to send a radio transmission to Mars Friday afternoon, beaming nearly 90,000 messages and pictures submitted by people including a number of celebrities -- Star Trek actor George Takei, Bill Nye, the Science Guy, and former ISS commander Chris Hadfield among them.

The transmission is part of Uwingu's "Beam Me to Mars" project, commemorating 50 years of Mars exploration. The transmission is planned to begin just after 3 pm ET on Friday, and will be repeated twice.

NASA Talk Examines Development of High-Tech Aerospace Materials

Posted on by

On Tuesday, Dec. 2 at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, retired engineer Darrel Tenney will present "Coming of Age NASA's Role in Lightweight Composite Structures" at 2 p.m. in the Reid Conference Center.The former chief of the Materials Division and director of the Vehicle Systems Program at NASA Langley, Tenney will discuss the major obstacles in developing composites for advanced flight vehicles and future challenges for the next generation of materials.Tenney will be available to answer questions from the media during a news briefing at 1:15 p.m. that day. Media who wish to do so should contact Chris Rink at 757-864-6786, or by e-mail atchris.rink@nasa.gov, by noon on the day of the talk for credentials and entry to the center.That same evening at 7:30, Tenney will present a similar program for the general public at the Virginia Air & Space Center in downtown Hampton. This Sigma Series event is free and no reservations are required.The development of improved materials has historically had the greatest impact on tools and transportation. Progress in the use of materials started with wood, a natural composite material, transitioned to metals and has come full circle to composite materials such as fiber-reinforced plastics, metals and ceramics.NASA engineers have played a major role in the development of advanced composites for aircraft and space launch vehicles. The driver has been the desire to reduce weight and increase performance by embedding ultrahigh strength and stiffness fibers into weaker materials.During his 30-year NASA career, Tenney received two Presidential Rank Awards for outstanding technical leadership and contributions to NASA. He holds a doctorate in materials science from Virginia Tech and is the principal author of "Structural Framework for Flight" that examines the many contributions NASA has made to the development of advanced composite materials.For more information about NASA Langley's Colloquium and Sigma Series Lectures, visit:http://colloqsigma.larc.nasa.gov
