I recently visited #NASA's Kennedy Space 🛰 Center in the US. I always thought space research was a waste of public funds 💰 . Why go to the Moon 🌙 , when we have so much to achieve here on Earth 🌏 . But this visit completely changed my view. I had heard many young students imagine themselves being a pilot, but not many thought about being an 👩🚀 astronaut or support space exploration. At NASA, I met a 4 #IITBombay students who were in Flordia for internships that got me thinking, "What made them come here ?". During my visit I realized 3 major things: 1️⃣ NASA unites a symphony of disciplines – all types of #engineers, #mathematicians, #doctors, communicators, and many more disciplines – all working together to achieve the impossible. The countless firsts they have achieved were just inspiring. 2️⃣ I realized how the whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts - As a #college #admissions #consultant, I often ask my clients to demonstrate a true collaborative spirit while doing research / passion projects during #HighSchool while exploring their curiosity. This sets the tone not only for strong academic progress - but real life #teamwork skills to extend the boundaries of knowledge. It is this kind of stuff , that got NASA to put a man on the moon! 3️⃣ While the hype for #IvyLeague colleges continues amongst Indian families, I found more students from mid-ranked colleges have joined organizations like #ISRO and #NASA. And they are not there for the money . They are there for taking humanity further than we have ever been and showing what's possible. 🚀 And finally, going back to the funds aspect, I realized that during the #SpaceRace in the 1960's - US spent nearly 4% of their Federal budget on space research, which today stands near 0.5%. For ISRO in India it is below 0.1%. I think sometimes it takes a field visit to shake out preconceived ideas. I recommend trying it out for yourself. I write about #education. Follow me if you found this relevant. Picture: JFK making the announcement at #RiceUniversity stating "We choose to go to the Moon" #STEM #CollegeAdmissions

📢ATTN: STEM INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS - let’s develop our future astronauts together! 🚀🚀🚀 We have 6 Interns whose #1 dream job is in Aerospace Engineering! Check out this article “An Astronaut’s Guide to Applying to Be an Astronaut - NASA” as told by Anne McClain where she explains how she knew from age three she wanted to be an Astronaut and her dreams to fly in space became reality 36 years later by staying focused! 🚀: https://lnkd.in/gfp4Fwih #SpaceX #NASA #AstronautTraining #futureprofessional #students #mentorship #AerospaceJobs #aerospaceindustry Comment below any contacts you have at any companies to help us launch these Interns into an internship this summer in STEM so they can make their dreams a reality!

I’m delighted to share my enriching internship experience at Centre National d'Études Spatiales, which concluded a few weeks ago. This opportunity allowed me to dive into the fascinating field of multi-body dynamics and gain a critical perspective on mission analysis. All this, thanks to the mentorship of Alain Lamy. My work primarily involved characterizing various types of planar motion around the Moon, focusing on the study of Distant Retrograde Orbits and their bifurcations. This knowledge was basic in the study of different trajectories to reach these orbits from Earth and exploring potential transfers to other planets. This research also included the assessment of the stability of these orbits using a more realistic force model. These studies are interesting for the future steps of the Artemis program of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which aims to return humanity to the Moon. The findings suggested that these orbits could serve as a viable location for a space outpost, facilitating in-situ resource utilization or refuelling spacecraft in route to distant destinations. I had the privilege of presenting this work at the COMET-ORB conference held in Toulouse on November 8th. This endeavour enabled me to successfully complete my Diplôme d’Ingénieur at ISAE-SUPAERO and my Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. While this research marks a fundamental step in understanding the Cislunar environment, it is merely the beginning of a new approach to mission analysis. I am eager to continue contributing to this new era of space exploration by extending the studies presented here. #artemis #lunar #spaceexploration

A certain country in Asia sent a rover to Mars and it cost them less than what it cost to make the movie Interstellar !!😆 🚀That specific country landed a ship on the southern side of the moon this year. Meet the next generation of space scientists 🚀. They are from the only space research university in the country 🚀 All these students are eligible to apply to ISRO, the organization that has earned the praise of Elon Musk because SpaceX and ISRO are the only 2 organizations in the world that are able to launch space missions at 10% of the going market rate ( NASA's rate ) !!! Canada has a great Space Program. Will any of these students choose Canada for their Masters or PHD? This is part of the new series of interviews to find out the aspirations of the #nextgen of #internationalstudents #studyabroad #studentsincanada #studyvisa #studyincanada #studyoverseas #careerguidance

A great, short documentary outlining the environmental, health, and economic impact of red tide and how NASA is using satellites to understand these dangerous algae blooms. The hope is to collect data that can give the keys needed to diminish the occurrences and impact of these blooms.

🚀 Exciting News! 🚀 I am thrilled to share with you all that my recent internship report on Space Flight Mechanics is now available for your perusal! 📝 Over the past three months, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in the captivating realm of space flight mechanics. Within the pages of this report, I've chronicled my experiences, insights, and discoveries, offering a comprehensive overview of the world of Astrophysics. Whether you're a fellow enthusiast, a budding student, or a seasoned professional, I believe you'll find valuable insights and knowledge within its contents. #SpaceFlight #InternshipReport #SpaceExploration #FlightDynamics #Science

Great takeaways to review here below!

Day 2 of #NCAS2024Explore Mission 2: go! My incredible team, Artemis Skylab Red (ASR), and I have chosen to go to the Moon over Mars! We are responsible for paying close attention to adapting to Space and/or working in zero/near-zero gravity so we are all about human flight here at ASR and we could not in good conscious send our simulated astronauts to Mars without a strong longer-term more recent mission to the moon. We are following the lead of NASA's Johnson Space Center's clear priority of human health and safety and making communication and system redundancy as we assess our budget and plans for scientific return. #MUREP If you are a community college student, or know someone who is, applications for Mission 1 are open for the fall! https://lnkd.in/dRM-W7jf
