AI in Space Exploration: NASA uses AI to handle the vast amount of data from space missions and to operate autonomous spacecraft and rovers, like the Mars rovers, which are partially autonomous. #PowitUp #AIinSpace #SpaceExploration #MarsRovers #AutonomousSpacecraft #NASAInnovation #DataInSpace #TechInSpace #SpaceTech #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfExploration #SpaceData #RoboticsInSpace #InterstellarAI #MarsMission #SpaceAutomation #AstroTech #SpaceFrontiers #OrbitalAI #PlanetaryExploration #AIForSpace #CosmicAI #SpacecraftTechnology #AIControlledRovers #SpaceInnovation #TechBeyondEarth #AIAndAstronomy #ExtraterrestrialAI #PowItUpInSpace

EUROPA FILES E10 We’re talking about the Clipper spacecraft, the largest spacecraft NASA has ever developed for a planetary mission. It’s powered by giant solar arrays that when deployed span more than 100 feet, about the length of a basketball court. The main body itself is as large as a passenger van. At launch Clipper will weigh about 13,000 pounds and just under half of that, around 6,000 pounds, will be propellant. Europa Clipper will gather its data with a powerful suite of science instruments. The estimated total lifecycle cost of the mission is about $5.2 billion. Keep in mind this is spent over decades and is mostly to pay the people designing, building, and operating the spacecraft; not the actual cost of the physical parts. #europa #europaclipper #europafiles #europaicebath #europaphile

The Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle was an engineering marvel, designed to operate on the harsh lunar surface. Now, NASA has even higher goals for the #Artemis-generation Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV). #SpaceTechnology Read "NASA Moves Forward with Development of LTV" by Kevin Wilcox to learn more about the LTV and industry partners involved: https://lnkd.in/euQkz57s

It's GO TIME! Vibration Testing of the Sierra Space Dream Chaser! The Dream Chaser space plane is the first-ever winged commercial space plane that will open shared access to space and international collaboration for all humankind. The multi-mission space plane fleet is designed to transport crew and cargo to low-Earth orbit (LEO) and can be customized for both domestic and international customers for global operations. Dream Chaser joins Sierra Space’s cargo module, Shooting Star™, which arrived at the NASA’s test facility in November. The two vehicles are set to be stacked in launch configuration and undergo rigorous environmental testing, starting in the Mechanical Vibration Facility (MVF). The tests will subject them to the extreme conditions of launch vibrations on the world’s most powerful spacecraft shaker table – a three-axis, 6-degree-of-freedom, servo hydraulic, sinusoidal base-shake vibration system – designed, engineered, and built by Team Corporation and controlled by a Data Physics Corporation Multi-Shaker Controller with 80 input channels that can be used in any combination of Control, Limit, or Measurement channels. #vibrationtesting #vibrationcontrol #nasa #aerospaceengineering https://lnkd.in/gY6FyFh9

#onthisday in #tech #history -- September 17, 1976 🗓️ NASA Unveils Enterprise 🌌 NASA rolls out the first Space Shuttle, Enterprise, from its assembly facility to a waiting crowd. Included in the crowd was a delegation of actors from the Star Trek TV series. Originally to be named Constitution, a write-in campaign by Star Trek fans convinced President Gerald Ford and NASA to rename the Space Shuttle. The Enterprise was a prototype shuttle, designed for the early testing phase of the Space Shuttle program. It was built without engines or a functional heat shield. While it performed various atmospheric test flights, and was originally intended to be retrofitted for spaceflight, it was determined that it would be less expensive to simply build new shuttles. Therefore the Enterprise never did actually fly into space. From Marcel Brown thisdayintechhistory.com #nasa #space #spaceshuttle #enterprise #1970s

The robotic arm on the International Space Station National Laboratory, Canadarm2, is a $200 million robot [1] that can crawl over the surface of the space station, help dock incoming spacecraft, and save astronauts from extra-vehicle activities (e.g. space walks) when repairs need to be made. It was installed in 2001 [2] and has been used to make the astronauts life easier. A second robot, named Dextre works with Canadarm2 to provide additional capabilities. The video below shows it performing its first repair in 2011, replacing a failed circuit breaking on the exterior of the space station. Robots in #space are already helping build and maintain the most complex and largest structures in orbit. Space based solar power (#SBSP) satellites will be even larger, build on, and improve this heritage. Virtus Solis Technologies #deeptech #spacetech #hardtech https://lnkd.in/eR7UNybq

It is difficult to emphasize the significance of the milestone surpassed by Nasa's Mars helicopter, Ingenuity. On 25 January 2024, Nasa announced that the flying vehicle had to perform an emergency landing which damaged one of its rotors and ended its mission. NASA's Ingenuity Mars little Helicopter (1.8kg) has completed 72 flights since first taking to the skies above the Red Planet on April 19, 2021, far exceeding its originally planned technology demonstration of up to five flights. This reminds us that space exploration is still difficult to do. But Ingenuity's three years on Mars proved that powered, controlled flight on Mars was possible. The little helicopter lasted for far longer than had been planned and flew higher and further than many had envisaged. Beyond this Martian experiment, the rotorcraft's success paves the way for other missions using flying vehicles to explore planets and moons. #mars #nasa #space #solarsystem #spaceexploration #ingenuity #helicopter #spacex #isro #astronomy
