NASA is streaming live coverage as it prepares for the launch of the 35th SpaceX commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station for the agency. Watch online at: Loaded with more than 6,300 pounds of supplies, a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket will launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape…
At 6:33 a.m. EDT, more than 6,300 pounds of scientific investigations and cargo launched to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft as part of the company’s 35th commercial resupply services mission for NASA. The spacecraft lifted off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space…
As the Arctic warms at nearly four times the global average, scientific initiatives must evolve beyond traditional observational models. NASA’s Earth Venture Suborbital Mission FORTE (Frontlines of Rapidly Transforming Ecosystems) offers a blueprint for policy frameworks balancing high-tech environmental monitoring with Indigenous knowledge systems. By integrating cross-scale data platforms with community partnerships in Alaska’s North…
Two student-built satellites launched on Tuesday to the International Space Station to take university engineering projects beyond the classroom and into orbit. The two CubeSats were part of more than 6,300 pounds of cargo that lifted off aboard the 35th SpaceX commercial resupply mission for NASA. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched at 6:33 a.m….
Engineers with NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems completed integrating the aerodynamic nose cones onto the left and right forward assemblies on the twin SLS (Space Launch System) solid rocket boosters, finishing their stacking operations for Artemis III inside the Vehicle Assembly Building’s High Bay 3 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, Sept. 30,…
When they approach the Sun, we can see comets from the Earth with the naked eye. While they are Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs), ranging from hundreds of metres to kilometres in size, we can nevertheless observe their millions-of-kilometres-long tails. Comets are similar to asteroids, with the main difference being that comets get close enough…
Hi there, In an earlier blog post on ESTCube Lunar Nanospacecraft attitude and navigation, we promised to cover the mission operations. Here we are trying to figure out how to operate a nanospacecraft in lunar orbit without accessing agency-operated deep-space networks, or DSNs. It was back in 2006 when I decided to study Computer Science…
A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is orbiting Earth on its way to the International Space Station for a docking on Thursday. The Expedition 75 crew members are preparing for Dragon’s arrival while also conducting eye checks, maintaining spacesuit gear, and practicing innovative robotics solutions aboard the orbital outpost. Flight engineers Anil Menon of NASA and Joshua…
