How do you achieve ambitious goals that seem out of reach?  The bigger the goal, the higher the responsibility and resources needed to achieve it. However, it is worth noting that, sometimes, working together with other people will help you achieve such huge dreams.  For example, NASA and SpaceX aspired to achieve different things individually but realized collaboration was the most appropriate way. Luckily, their partnership has helped make it possible for space exploration to make great strides.  By being strategic and diplomatic, you can secure the collaborations necessary to share the load and leverage each other's strengths.  Success is usually achieved by many people working together.  Developing important relationships makes it possible to achieve significant accomplishments.

In 1962, John F. Kennedy visited NASA. When he encountered a janitor and asked, 'What is your job here?' the janitor immediately replied, 'To help put a man on the moon.' This exemplifies true equality and diversity, where every individual feels deeply responsible for contributing to the organization's broader vision and mission. It's about connecting each tactical task to the larger picture through effective modern management. #management #ModernMamagement #programmanagement

Just over six years ago, NASA's Parker Solar Probe (PSP) embarked on its historic mission to "touch" the Sun, becoming the closest human-made object to the Sun ever. This Christmas Eve, it will make its closest approach yet. 🛰️☀️ https://lnkd.in/e5Zvi-FW PSP is a groundbreaking mission designed to unlock the mysteries of the Sun's corona and solar wind. The Johns Hopkins APL-built spacecraft can withstand heat and radiation like no other mission before it. Named after Dr. Eugene Parker, the scientist who first theorized the existence of the solar wind, PSP will orbit within four million miles of the Sun's surface to study the solar wind's formation directly.

NASA's Planetary Radar has once again captured images of a peanut-shaped asteroid passing by Earth on September 17, 2024. This asteroid, known as 2024 ON, came within 2.6 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon. The radar data collected during this event, combined with observations from 2013 and 2018, provide valuable insights into the asteroid's size, shape, and trajectory. Peanut-shaped asteroids are not uncommon in our solar system, with their distinctive bilobed structure making them a fascinating subject of study for scientists. By studying these asteroids, researchers can gain a better understanding of the formation and evolution of celestial bodies in our cosmic neighborhood. NASA's ongoing efforts to monitor and track asteroids play a crucial role in planetary defense, helping to identify any potential threats to Earth and providing valuable data for future space exploration missions. https://lnkd.in/e57W-duz

Where InternationalCooperation means everything

NASA Twin Study: Telomere Length Changes in Scott Kelly, the ISS Astronaut In my perspective, the most noteworthy revelation from the NASA twin study was the elongation of Scott Kelly's telomeres as an adaptive response to the challenging conditions of space, as outlined in this study: https://lnkd.in/ezQ2WM7K. Scott Kelly experienced alterations in his DNA, including telomere elongation, which were not observed in his twin brother, providing valuable insights into the impact of space travel on human health. The observed changes in telomere length during space travel are unsurprising and may signify an adaptive response to significant space stressors, including radiation. Concerning the NASA Twin Study, we previously reported that telomere elongation may be attributed to a well-established biological adaptive response to the space environment [1]. Interestingly, studies in high background radiation areas of Ramsar, Iran [2], and Kerala, India [3], found no alterations in telomere length. However, the NASA Twin Study [4] revealed a significant change, potentially associated with the presence of high linear energy transfer (LET) relativistic particles in space. While protons are recognized as low-LET particles, high-charge and energy (HZE) particles possess heightened energies and LET values [5]. Despite their low abundance, HZE particles traversing a cell nucleus induce nearly irreparable DNA damage due to a very high rate of energy deposition in living cells [6]. In an e-letter published in Science, Mortazavi et al. expressed concerns about the NASA Twins Study, which examined the biological effects of a year-long spaceflight on a male astronaut compared to his monozygotic twin [7]. The authors of the e-letter suggest that the study did not adequately address the potential impact of space radiation, especially HZE particles, on telomere length and telomerase activity. They also propose the possibility that telomere elongation during space flight could be an adaptive response to the space environment but might also increase the astronaut's long-term risk of cancer [8]. Additionally, they suggest that the study could provide insights into the differences between low-dose exposures to low- vs. high-LET radiation.

World Space Week (October 4–10) is an international celebration highlighting the essential role of science and technology in enhancing life on our planet. Established by the UN in 1999, it commemorates significant milestones in space history, including the launch of Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, and the signing of the Outer Space Treaty on October 10, 1967, which advocates for the peaceful exploration of space. 🛰 At the School of Engineering, University of Birmingham, we take this opportunity to recognise the contributions of trailblazers like Anousheh Ansari and Jasmin Moghbeli. Their extraordinary achievements mark significant advancements in space exploration and inspire the next generation—especially women—to pursue engineering and space sciences careers.

As I have spoken on this topic at conferences and continue to study orbital debris and Kessler Syndrome, I pay attention to this chart listing the types and their progression annually in outer space. This chart was snipped from the NASA Cost and Benefit Analysis of Orbital Debris Remediation from the March 10, 2023 report (Colvin et al., 2023). It is a great "at-a-glance" regarding this growing problem in space. As I study space systems and policy for my doctorate and continue to create a path toward "Cybersecurity in Outer Space" at Mission Multiplier, this is a huge concern weighing on my heart!
