HD-Livestream vom Mond: Nasa testet Übertragung per Laserstrahl  | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

Die Laserkommunikation ermöglicht eine weitaus schnellere Übertragung von Daten aus dem All zur Erde. So wird unter anderem Livestreaming in HD vom Mond aus möglich.

Bisher hat die Nasa das sogenannte Deep Space Network genutzt, um Daten aus dem Weltall zur Erde zu übertragen. Das ist allerdings relativ langsam, weshalb nun eine neue Technologie getestet wird, die auch an Bord der Artemis 2 Liveübertragungen in HD vom Mond ermöglichen soll.

Why NASA wants to test a nuclear rocket engine for a Mars mission

Why NASA wants to test a nuclear rocket engine for a Mars mission | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

You're opening up the outer solar system to scientific exploration. You don't have to wait for the planets to align. You'll have launch opportunities every year," said Dale Thomas, deputy director of the University of Alabama in Huntsville's Propulsion Research Center. "And, by the way, since we're talking about direct trajectories, you get there in about half the time.

With nuclear-thermal propulsion, getting to Mars could take as little as two months instead of nine, depending on the path taken, engineers said. And reducing the trip time would have the advantage of limiting the supplies needed for such a journey.

Nasa to test nuclear rockets that could fly astronauts to Mars in record time | #Space | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

Nasa has unveiled plans to test nuclear-powered rockets that would fly astronauts to Mars in ultra-fast time.

The agency has partnered with the US government’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) to demonstrate a nuclear thermal rocket engine in space as soon as 2027, it announced on Tuesday.

The project is intended to develop a pioneering propulsion system for space travel far different from the chemical systems prevalent since the modern era of rocketry dawned almost a century ago.

“Using a nuclear thermal rocket allows for faster transit time, reducing risk for astronauts,” Nasa said in a press release.

Water on the Moon could sustain a lunar base | #Space #Research

Water on the Moon could sustain a lunar base | #Space #Research | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

Having dropped tantalising hints days ago about an "exciting new discovery about the Moon", the US space agency has revealed conclusive evidence of water on our only natural satellite.

This "unambiguous detection of molecular water" will boost Nasa's hopes of establishing a lunar base.

The aim is to sustain that base by tapping into the Moon's natural resources.

The findings have been published as two papers in the journal Nature Astronomy.

While there have previously been signs of water on the lunar surface, these new discoveries suggest it is more abundant than previously thought. "It gives us more options for potential water sources on the Moon," said Hannah Sargeant, a planetary scientist from the Open University in Milton Keynes, told BBC News.

Curiosity Rover Finds 3.5-Billion-Year-Old Organic Compounds and Strange Methane on Mars

Curiosity Rover Finds 3.5-Billion-Year-Old Organic Compounds and Strange Methane on Mars | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

No, NASA hasn’t discovered life on Mars yet—but a new result makes it seem like maybe, at some point in the planet’s history, the conditions were ripe for some extraterrestrial beings. Maybe.

The scientists behind experiments conducted by the Curiosity rover are today reporting two results that make the Red Planet’s story even more interesting. One group found carbon-containing organic matter in 3.5-billion-year-old rock. Another noticed the methane levels around Curiosity varied by the season. Combined, these results present tantalizing hints of a potentially habitable Martian past.

From everything we can tell of the chemistry and the minerals deposited in the Gale crater where Curiosity is stationed, “we think it was a habitable environment,” Jennifer Eigenbrode from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center told Gizmodo. “It had the ability to support life—but doesn’t mean life were there.

NASA Reinvents the Wheel for Future Mars Rovers | #Research #Space #Technology

NASA Reinvents the Wheel for Future Mars Rovers | #Research #Space #Technology | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
NASA initially worked with Goodyear in the mid-2000s to develop a prototype spring tire. These tires were composed of a flexible mesh with hundreds of coiled steel wires. It gave the tires the ability to support heavy loads with good traction, but even the strongest steel springs deform. On Mars, rolling over rocks while carrying a heavy loadout of instruments would cause the steel to change shape over time.


The answer was a new material based on a stoichiometric nickel-titanium alloy. Like regular spring tires, there’s no air inside. It’s just a lattice of coiled metal that flexes as it rolls over obstacles. That means it won’t get punctured by sharp Martian rocks. The bonds in the nickel-titanium alloy can rearrange in response to stress instead of stretching, so the tire snaps back — no deformation.

NASA plans to use shape memory tires on future Mars rovers, possibly even on the upcoming 2020 rover that will take over for Curiosity in the next few years. It’s even possible we could see this design on Earth-based tires one day.

NASA: West Antarctic Melt Rate Has Tripled

NASA: West Antarctic Melt Rate Has Tripled | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

A comprehensive, 21-year analysis of the fastest-melting region of Antarctica has found that the melt rate of glaciers there has tripled during the last decade. 


The glaciers in the Amundsen Sea Embayment in West Antarctica are hemorrhaging ice faster than any other part of Antarctica and are the most significant Antarctic contributors to sea level rise. This study by scientists at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), and NASA is the first to evaluate and reconcile observations from four different measurement techniques to produce an authoritative estimate of the amount and the rate of loss over the last two decades.


"The mass loss of these glaciers is increasing at an amazing rate," said scientist Isabella Velicogna, jointly of UCI and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. Velicogna is a coauthor of a paper on the results, which has been accepted for publication in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.


Lead author Tyler Sutterley, a doctoral candidate at UCI, and his team did the analysis to verify that the melting in this part of Antarctica is shifting into high gear. "Previous studies had suggested that this region is starting to change very dramatically since the 1990s, and we wanted to see how all the different techniques compared," Sutterley said. "The remarkable agreement among the techniques gave us confidence that we are getting this right."


The researchers reconciled measurements of the mass balance of glaciers flowing into the Amundsen Sea Embayment. Mass balance is a measure of how much ice the glaciers gain and lose over time from accumulating or melting snow, discharges of ice as icebergs, and other causes. Measurements from all four techniques were available from 2003 to 2009. Combined, the four data sets span the years 1992 to 2013.

Mars-Premiere: NASA erzeugt atembaren Sauerstoff | #Research #Space #MOXIE | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

Nach dem ersten Helikopter-Flug von Ingenuity auf dem Mars, dem in Kürze ein zweiter Flug folgen wird, feiert die NASA in dieser Woche auch noch einen weiteren Erfolg: Zum ersten Mal wurde direkt auf dem Mars atembarer Sauerstoff erzeugt, wie die NASA meldet. Der im Februar gelandete sechsrädige Roboter Perseverance trägt ein "toastergroßes" experimentelles Instrument, welches auf den Namen "Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment" getauft wurde. Oder kurz: MOXIE.  

Die NASA weist darauf hin, dass der Begriff "Moxie" auch ein alter Begriff in der englischen Sprache für eine Persönlichkeitseigenschaft sei. Jemand mit "Moxie" gelte als mutig, abenteuerlustig, abgehärtet und temperamentvoll.
Am 20. April wurde ein Experiment durchgeführt, bei dem aus der aus 96 Prozent Kohlendioxid bestehenden Mars-Atmosphäre insgesamt fünf Gramm Sauerstoff erzeugt wurde. Dieser würde dazu ausreichen, um einen Menschen 10 Minuten lang mit atembaren Sauerstoff zu versorgen. Laut der NASA könne MOXIE um die 10 Gramm Sauerstoff pro Stunde auf dem Mars erzeugen, im Rahmen der aktuellen Mars-Mission seien in den nächsten zwei Jahren noch neun weitere Experimente geplant, bei denen MOXIE zum Einsatz kommen soll. Das erste kurze Experiment habe vor allem dazu gedient festzustellen, ob MOXIE die Reise von der Erde zum Mond gut überstanden hat. Bei den nächsten Experimenten werden dann unter anderem Betriebsmodi und die Effizienz zu verschiedenen Tageszeiten und atmosphärischen Bedingungen getestet.

Whoa! Saturn moon has all the ingredients to support life | #Space #NASA #Enceladus | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
Life on Earth developed slowly over billions of years, and often it seems the modern process of looking for life beyond our own planet moves at a similarly glacial pace. But on Thursday, scientists announced another tantalizing lead in our species-wide quest to answer that great existential question: Is anyone or anything else alive beyond this rock of ours?

Researchers from NASA's Cassini mission say something's happening in a hidden ocean beneath the icy shell of Saturn's moon Enceladus. It's too early to say anything is swimming around down there, but it's becoming clearer that many of the ingredients that allow life to survive in deep, dark underwater environments on Earth can also be found on the Saturnian satellite.

Die NASA hat mal wieder Großes geplant: In fünf Jahren will die US-Raumfahrtbehörde damit beginnen, einen Weltraumbahnhof zu bauen. Der soll um den Mond kreisen und Reisen zu weit entfernten Punkten im All ermöglichen – beispielsweise zum Mars.

Die NASA stellte kürzlich die Baupläne für das beeindruckende Bauprojekt vor: Der Weltraumbahnhof wird in der Umlaufbahn des Mondes entstehen – und das schon im Jahr 2023. Dann wird der Bau beginnen. Ist die Weltraumbasis fertig, wird sie Zwischenstopps auf dem Weg zu fernen Zielen im All möglich machen. Und dank Wohn- und Forschungsräumen werden auch längere Aufenthalte und Experimente im All für Astronauten kein Problem mehr darstellen.

Nasa-Entdeckung: 200 Kilometer hohe Wasserfontänen auf Jupiter-Mond | #Space #Europa  | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
Astronomen der US-Raumfahrtbehörde Nasa haben nach eigenen Angaben weitere Anzeichen für die Existenz von Wasserdampf-Geysiren auf der vereisten Oberfläche des Jupiter-Monds Europa entdeckt. Europa, einer der mehr als 50 Monde des Gasgiganten, gilt laut Nasa als einer der "Top-Kandidaten" für die Existenz von Leben außerhalb der Erde.


Europa ist etwas kleiner als der Erdmond und vollständig von Eis bedeckt. Unter dem Eispanzer vermuten Astronomen einen bis zu 100 Kilometer tiefen Ozean, der mehr Wasser enthält als alle irdischen Meere zusammen.

NASA is building the next Mars rover in mixed reality | #AR #RA  | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

I poked my head inside NASA's latest Mars rover. During a mixed-reality demonstration at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena...

 

The ability to investigate the design of NASA's latest spacecraft, which is being engineered for the next mission to Mars in 2020, makes ProtoSpace a unique use for Microsoft's augmented-reality headset. The project enables JPL designers and engineers to not only visualize their designs as virtual 3-D objects, but also pinpoint potential problems that could affect space missions along the way.

 

Back in Pasadena, ProtoSpace is engaging engineers in a new kind of interaction with their spacecraft design. The vehicle, which is essentially a Computer Assisted Design (CAD) model in holographic form, appears as a floating, dynamic animation. You can do things like slip your arm through the brightly colored parts and bolts that are projected in front of you. But what the rover lacks in definition it makes up for in presence. Unlike the CAD design on a flat computer screen, mixed-reality technology brings a full-scale replica of the rover to life inside a room.

NASA installs space laser on the ISS, uses it to transmit high-speed data back to Earth

NASA installs space laser on the ISS, uses it to transmit high-speed data back to Earth | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
NASA has successfully completed the first test of the International Space Station's new OPALS laser communications system. OPALS links the ISS to an observatory here on Earth at very high speeds (around 50 megabits per second), allowing for the real-time transmission of high-resolution video among other things. This is orders of magnitude faster than existing radio-based links, and is a significant step forward for future space exploration.
