Astronomers expect 2024 JF to make its closest approach at 8:04 p.m. ET tonight (1204 GMT on Tuesday). It will be followed by the 10-meter-long (32-feet) asteroid named 2024 JR1, which is expected to make its closest approach on Tuesday (May 7). bit.ly/4dvZcNu
While in orbit, the original plan was for S73-7 to inflate and take on the role as a calibration target for remote sensing equipment. After this failed to be achieved during deployment, the satellite faded away. bit.ly/4b8DU70
NASA has broken the distance record for data transmission via lasers. On April 8, the Psyche spacecraft, currently en route to the asteroid belt, beamed data back to Earth from over 140 million miles (225 million km) away. bit.ly/3WrnaDd
Venus is often called "Earth's twin" because both planets are around the same size and density; they are also both rocky planets located in the inner region of the solar system. Yet, in many crucial ways, Venus couldn't be less like Earth. bit.ly/4bolLl3
China had disclosed objectives, a landing site and science payloads for the mission ahead of launch. However, following launch, the spacecraft’s maker, the China Academy of Space Technology revealed an image showing a rover attached to the mission lander. bit.ly/3Utqs6u
The team has developed three new alfalfa varieties and one new oat variety through space-mutation breeding, which are now being implemented in agricultural production. bit.ly/4b5oX5r
The first Hispanic woman to launch into space is now the second female astronaut to be awarded the United States' highest honor. bit.ly/4a1TAHP
This particular rocket stage was chosen because it did not have any GPS data. Instead, the team had to rely on ground based data to approximate its position to make the approach. This provided a realistic target for testing debris analysis activity. bit.ly/4b4WyMM
“We call Resolve a microcalorimeter spectrometer because each of its 36 pixels is measuring tiny amounts of heat delivered by each incoming X-ray, allowing us to see the chemical fingerprints of elements making up the sources in unprecedented detail.” tcrn.ch/3QxM2W2
ADRAS-J stands for Active Debris Removal by Astroscale-Japan, and is the first satellite ever to attempt to safely approach, characterize and survey the state of an existing piece of large debris. bit.ly/4b4WyMM
The hunt for the Universe’s Population 3 (Pop III) stars is important in astrophysics. They were the first to form astronomical metals, elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. bit.ly/3JM1Aln
At about 0:30 in the video, you’ll see coronal rain. This material is cooler than the rest of the solar surface (probably less than 10,000 °C) versus the one million degrees C of the coronal loops. bit.ly/3QrRSbO
The new chemical is known as 2-methoxyethanol (CH3OCH2CH2OH). It’s one of several methoxy molecules that scientists have found in space. But with 13 atoms, it’s one of the largest and most complex ones ever detected. bit.ly/3UJrLQ1
The goal is to give forces on the ground, at sea and in the air access to the combined bandwidth of the military’s dedicated satellites as well as commercial satellite internet providers like SpaceX’s Starlink. bit.ly/3JSQlYh
HST works best with three gyros, and so engineers are working to understand the issue and hopefully figure out a way to fix it remotely. However, several years ago, engineers figured out a way to still conduct science operations with only a single gyro. bit.ly/3WxyyxH
Last night the microwave oven-sized CubeSat passed over the ground hub located at Santa Clara University's Robotics Systems Lab in Santa Clara, California, and the mission team confirmed successful two-way communications. spacedaily.com/reports/NASAs_…
A Wheel of Death, as seen in circuses & theme parks on Earth, typically consists of a large ring laid on its side. A hapless participant must speed along the inside of the Wheel quickly enough to avoid falling victim to gravity and falling off the Wheel. bit.ly/3wmudCD
"Finding the ages of asteroids is important to understanding them, and this one is remarkably young when compared to the age of the solar system, meaning it formed somewhat recently." bit.ly/4b1gq3w
Each study has already completed the initial NIAC phase, showing their futuristic ideas - like a lunar railway system and fluid-based telescopes - may provide fresh perspectives and approaches as NASA explores the unknown in space. bit.ly/3wkyLt8

@distantsuns The other difficulty if lunar isn't enough is measuring the effect from long-term habitation on Mars because it always involves a lot of time in weightless space just to get there. Was that a factor too? will always be a question.

@distantsuns Wouldn’t it be useful to try some radiation mitigation AND artificial gravity techniques on any new proposed space station? We know microgravity and radiation are problems for long duration missions. Isn’t now a good time begin figuring out how best to deal with them?
