🌌🚀 China and Russia plan to establish a #lunar base with international partners, while the U.S. lags behind. To compete, we need to utilise our vast knowledge resource: the United States Department of Defense (DoD). The DoD's expertise in remote, harsh environments can aid NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration in #Moon base planning. Existing doctrine, logistics, and expeditionary capabilities can be leveraged to win this competition. 🌖🇺🇸 See Colonel Matthew Beverly, PE, PMP, Lt. Col. (Ret.) Patrick Suermann, and Captain Arpan Patel, PE, PMP, "To win the new space race, NASA and the DoD need to shift their collaboration into high gear," in SpaceNews #Lunapolitics #USA https://lnkd.in/gV97vidt

Memorial Day in the United States | International Space Station "All gave some, but some gave all." "On Memorial Day in the United States, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation." FriendsofNASA.org: Memorial Day (originally known as Decoration Day) is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel that died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It is observed on the last Monday of May.

Does NASA Pivot as a National Security Organization? The answer is not as straightforward as it may seem. In today’s era of strategic competition, the role of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is more pivotal than ever before. While some may view NASA purely as a science and exploration agency, its historical roots and legislative mandates tell a different story—one where national security plays a crucial role. The United States’ National Security Strategy highlights the ongoing “strategic competition” with adversaries employing a mix of military and civil power to threaten strategic interests, aiming to win without direct conflict. GSR Author Peter Garretson discusses how in the post-Cold War era, NASA continued to play a security role, focusing on security through diplomacy and preventing the proliferation of ballistic missile technology. Defined in Title 51 of the United States Code, NASA’s crucial mission includes ensuring the United States’ preeminent position in space, leading in space science and technology, and utilizing space activities for long-term benefits. This underscores NASA as a national security organization, tasked with pursuing American strategic objectives below the threshold of armed conflict. Is it time for NASA to embrace its broader role in the strategic competition, not just as an exploration agency but as a key player in ensuring America’s long-term economic and security interests?

Ohio congressional delegation members just submit a letter that urged the Defense Department to base U.S. Space Force’s Space Training and Readiness Command’s Space Delta 12 mission at NASA Glenn’s Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Sandusky. Space Force’s Delta 12 mission is responsible for testing and evaluating U.S. Space Force capabilities. The Ohioans say the Armstrong test facility has one-of-a-kind, world-class space simulation test facilities that will enhance Space Force’s operational effectiveness – making it the logical home for Delta 12. The Neil Armstrong Test Facility would provide Delta 12 with the ability to conduct testing in hypersonics, in-space propulsion, space environment simulation and electric aircraft testing. Their letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, and Chief of Space Operations General B. Chance Saltzman, says the the numerous space and national security industries and world class research universities such as Case Western Reserve in the state – along with existing U.S. Air Force at Wright Patterson and NASA bases and facilities – make Ohio ideally suited to host Space Force’s Delta 12 mission. “Our state is integral to the history of flight, and because of our manufacturing prowess, federal assets, world-class research institutions, and skilled workforce, the future of aviation and space innovation will take place in Ohio,” the letter says “The proximity of military and federal space-related missions in Ohio represents a unique opportunity to accelerate and grow the capabilities of the United States.” Source: https://lnkd.in/gx4ccY46 #aerospace #technology #spacecraft NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration #Ohio

At #9 on the countdown, Niklas Nienaß compellingly made the case for utilizing space to uplift humanity. As he outlined, satellites provide vital yet often overlooked infrastructure for services we depend on, like navigation, communications, and environmental monitoring. But thoughtfully designed policies and funding choices could further harness space systems' potential to connect people and improve life on Earth. Nienass called for prioritizing international cooperation, sustainability, and social returns on investment. By elevating peaceful purposes, space programs can drive broader inclusion and prosperity. As Nienass emphasized, policies should ensure space serves all humanity, not just narrow interests. His vision underscores space’s immense potential as a collaborative platform for human advancement. 🛰️🌎 #SpaceForGood #climatechange Stella Schübel European Parliament European Commission Markus Mooslechner Emma Gatti Rika (Sagarika) Valluri Kofoworola Joshua Faleti European Space Agency - ESA German Aerospace Center (DLR) Norwegian Space Agency NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Kevin O'Connell Torsten Kriening https://lnkd.in/eC3KRaqe

The Space Force became the sixth branch of the US military in 2020, the newest branch since the US Air Force was introduced in 1947. Unlike NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or private companies like BLUE ORIGIN, Relativity Space and SpaceX, who focus on space exploration and scientific discovery; the Space Force is charged with protecting and defending American military capabilities and economic interests in space. 🛰To infinity and beyond! #spaceforce #spaceexploration https://lnkd.in/gSgtDWHx

In the mid-20th century, the world witnessed a fierce competition between two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, known as the Space Race. This race for space supremacy captivated the world's attention and led to significant advancements in science, technology, and space exploration. Fast forward to the 21st century, and we find ourselves amidst a new space race, with emerging players like China joining the United States and Russia in the pursuit of space dominance. In this article, we will explore the history of the original Space Race, its impact on the world, and the current state of the new space race.

NS delivers safely across the U.S… and to the moon! 🌕 6 days, 11 states, 3 railroads, and 10 200-ton cars. That’s what it took to transport essential space rocket components for NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's highly anticipated Artemis II Mission to the Moon. Our railroaders moved the rockets on behalf of our valued customer and leader in solving the toughest problems in space, aeronautics, and defense, the Northrop Grumman, and kept it rolling from Memphis, Tennessee all the way to Mims, Florida. When the precious cargo transitioned to NS, we dedicated a special engine to carry on the Mission to the Moon. The NS6920 Veterans Engine honors the brave men and women that put everything on the line to protect our freedom and enable us to chase our dreams in space. Learn more about NS’ pivotal role in Artemis II's transport at https://bit.ly/3RFH9vE. 🚀About Artemis II: Scheduled for next year, Artemis II is poised to be a milestone in human space exploration. Four astronauts will embark on a remarkable voyage around the Moon, marking the first crewed mission on NASA's path towards establishing a sustained lunar presence. This 10-day mission will not only test NASA's pioneering deep space exploration technologies, but it will also lay the foundation for future lunar surface missions. This mission aims to achieve historic milestones, including landing the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon.
