Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson’s Post

“What the public sees is everything post-launch. They get to see the launch vehicle leave the ground, the fantastic plumes, the rocket launch day mission streams, the pictures that Hubble takes," That's what the public gets to see. But there's an immense amount of work that comes before that, and the students here are learning how to start at the ground and build all the way up to what the public sees. They're learning how to define the mission: what are the building blocks? What are the technical requirements? What is the mission going to accomplish? What are the objectives? How do you accomplish those objectives?” 📡 Faculty advisor and mechanical & aerospace teaching assistant professor Andrew Rhodes talks satellites, research and shaping the next generation of engineers through experiential learning opportunities like NASA's University Nanosatellite Program.

Extraterrestrial survival is close According to the researchers, the strategy utilizes no external energy but sunlight to produce water, oxygen, and fuel – desired products that could support life on a moonbase. The team is currently looking for an opportunity to test the system in space, likely with China’s future crewed lunar missions. Though the catalytic efficiency of lunar soil is less than catalysts available on Earth, the team is testing different approaches to improve the design, such as melting the lunar soil into a nanostructured high-entropy material, which is a better catalyst Lunar soil or the components extracted from lunar soil can essentially reduce the load and cost of a spacecraft, thereby improving the feasibility and durability of human survival with ‘high economic efficiency, giving high hopes to future manned missions. #aerospace #satellites #technology #defence #internships #job #aeronautics #spaceexploration #drdo #isro #rocketscience #propulsion #cfd #fea #aerospaceengineering #ai #machinelearning #ece #electronics #mechanical #internships #design #engineering #industry #education #linkedin #industry #cubesat #satellite #propulsion #rocket #china #extraterrestrial

#PrideMonth 🏳️🌈 "I came to APL as a college intern in the Space Exploration Sector, and I had an incredible opportunity to work on the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission. Space is my passion, and I have wanted to work on spacecraft since high school. I started this journey when I was 19 years old and I haven't stopped since. APL truly enabled my passion. It was amazing to earn the opportunity to work on such a high-profile program at such a young age. Now that I have been at APL for five years working on the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) and solar sailing research, I have a theory on why the climate here is so inclusive. Scientists, engineers and researchers are generally open to alternative perspectives and creative solutions. We're looking for different outlooks on very hard problems, so technical merit and unique perspectives matter. Who cares about people's personal sexuality? In college, I had an environment that was very affirming and let me explore my own queerness. As a freshman, I had a professor that advised the space exploration group I was involved in. She was an astrophysicist who taught me how to point a telescope, read star charts and track satellites. It was my introduction to aerospace. Sure, I noticed she had pride flags and I knew she was part of the community, but we didn't have to talk much about it. It was just comforting to see a queer woman succeeding in the field that I was trying to enter. That's representation. It's powerful and impactful to see someone like you. There is strength in diversity — in being open and encouraging of people from different cultures, sexualities and experiences. We need to make sure there is a place for everyone. It gives you better outcomes and opens the space up to different perspectives, as well as more efficient, lower cost and sustainable solutions. When you are looking at novel missions, and these accomplishments we're trying to achieve here at APL and in the broader aerospace community, it's essential to be open. If you are truly looking for critical contributions, that's how you get there." – Amber Dubill is a mechanical engineer in #JHUAPL's Space Exploration Sector.

Jason Panella Jason McKenna Amanda Bastoni Apple Microsoft TEALS Program Micro:bit Educational Foundation Sphero Code.org CodeCrew Hadi Partovi I will keep insisting From lithium, tantalum, cobalt and much more, Africa provides a disproportionate quantity of the raw materials that fuel the technology in the West. Yet, Africa’s youth and children are being left out of this important advancement. While charity is not the answer, I’m driven by the belief that they who benefit the most from the exploitation of African people have the greatest responsibility to respond to the aspirations of African children. Without going into detail about the bigger ideological issues, there are some immediate and concrete things that we can do.
