SpaceX & Space Exploration’s Post

There are over 170 billion galaxies in the observable universe yet there is also a “future visibility limit”! Objects beyond this limit will never enter our observable universe at any time in the infinite future. The reason for this is that light emitted by objects outside that limit would never reach us.

The moon is just the first step into space for humanity! At ASCENDxTexas, Nujoud Merancy, Deputy Associate Administrator - Strategy and Architecture Office at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, detailed their Moon-to-Mars strategy. Today, we saw how NASA strategy is well on the way to developing functional pathways: not just to get humans to Mars, but to have an ecosystem to go back and forth between Earth, the moon, and Mars. We will get to Mars, but we need to work together to get there! #AIAA #ascendspace

Congratulations to Boeing, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and all of the industry partners on their incredible success in launching and docking with the ISS. I take pride in knowing that we have built so many complex system that play an important role in the process. This is a reminder of the limitless possibilities that lie ahead. #SpaceExploration #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork"

She was a great launch on a great day! Two payloads - two orbits! NEONSAT-1 will perform Earth-observation of the Korean Peninsula for KAIST, which will then pair the satellite’s data with artificial intelligence to monitor for natural disasters in the region. NEONSAT-1 is the first of 11 satellites for KAIST’s planned constellation to image the Korean Peninsula several times daily. NASA’s ACS3 technology demonstration uses composite materials - or a combination of materials with different properties, in its novel, lightweight booms that deploy from a CubeSat to support a solar sail. Just as a sailboat is powered by wind in a sail, solar sails employ the pressure of sunlight for propulsion, eliminating the need for conventional rocket propellant. Data obtained from the ACS3 demonstration will guide the design of future larger-scale composite solar sail systems that could be used for space weather early warning satellites, near-Earth asteroid reconnaissance missions, or communications relays for crewed exploration missions.

March 2024 was the warmest March on record. Last month continues a streak of records, with the last 10 months each the warmest for their respective months in NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's temperature record, GISTEMP. The global mean temperature anomaly for March 2024 was 1.39°C above the 1951-1980 March average. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/epBCwa-Q

Then, we had the exciting intervention of Carlos Garcia-Galan from NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, who spoke about the objectives of the 'Moon to Mars' program and about how inspirational it can be for children, the future scientists 💻🧪🔭🛰 #SSSIF2024

why is it that China can rover and sample return while @NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration cancels as such? the simple reason is that @NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration seeks guidance direction and inspiration from the wrong NASA Administrator.

This spring, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration identified technology areas that require further development to ensure future space exploration. To rate the importance of these technology gaps, NASA asked the aerospace community. AstroSpArch was more than happy to comply. The result has been published by NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD). The document, the 2024 Civil Space Shortfall ranking can be found on the link below 👇 https://lnkd.in/dpBSaUry

Black Holes Are No Vacuums! While black holes have a strong gravitational pull, they don't suck everything nearby like a cosmic vacuum cleaner. If the Sun were replaced by a black hole of the same mass, Earth would still orbit it in the same way. The below gif is NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's visualization of the movement of Black Hole.
