WATCH Friday, June 21, 6 - 8 a.m.: Amador Valley High School's inspiring STEP UP club will have a rocket-powered lander payload that they designed and built launched by NASA. This team of young women won a national design competition and spent the last several months working with NASA scientists to build their payload, which was designed to take measurements to relay back to NASA. The STEP UP club is a group of Amador Valley students who work to increase representation of women in STEM fields and encourage more women to pursue degrees in physics.

Are you ready for this year’s NASA TechRise Student challenge: https://buff.ly/3RXQdvo ? From researching Earth’s environment to designing experiments for lunar and planetary exploration, schools are invited to join NASA in its mission to inspire the world through discovery. If you are in sixth to 12th grade at a U.S. public, private, or charter school – including those in U.S. territories – your challenge is to team up with your schoolmates and develop a science or technology experiment idea for one of the following NASA TechRise flight vehicles: - High-Altitude Balloon with approximately four hours of flight time at 70,000 feet and exposure to Earth’s atmosphere, high-altitude radiation, and perspective views of our planet - Rocket-Powered Lander that will fly for approximately two minutes at an altitude of 80 ft (~25 m) over a test field designed to look like the Moon’s surface A total of 60 winning teams will be selected to build their proposed experiment. Each winning team will be awarded: - $1,500 to build their experiment - A flight box in which to build it - An assigned spot to test their experiment on a NASA-sponsored flight - Technical support during the experiment build phase from Future Engineers advisors, who will help students learn the skills they need to turn their experiment idea into reality. Note that no experience is necessary to participate in the NASA TechRise Challenge!

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

We love to see the positive results our clients achieve because they chose to have an Impact Business Model that aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Bitar Machine Design is making a positive impact by supporting their community through sponsorship of UNCC's Rocketry team. In addition, they are ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education, reducing inequality, promoting gender equality and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. If that weren't enough, Bitar Machine Design even takes it a step further with their time and financial resources by providing decent work and economic growth opportunities to student interns that promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. #UNSDG4 #UNSDG5 #UNSDG8 #UNSDG10 Justin Bitar #Piercetheunknown
🚀 Super proud of the 49ers Rocketry team🚀 They recently competed in the NASA USLI (University Student Launch Initiative) and me and the team at Bitar Machine Design, LLC are very excited for the results of the competition. However, regardless of the competition results I am very proud of these young engineers and am constantly awed by their hard work and dedication to their academic careers and to the 49er Rocketry Team. I am looking forward to sponsoring the next team of talented students for next year's competition. Check out this incredible video that shows what this team is capable of and all the hard work that goes into this competition: https://lnkd.in/eGXrafAq

Dr. Amos Ariny (Astronomer) or NASA Astronaut flight engineer 1984- Present, Gaia is a space observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA), launched in 2013 and expected to operate until 2025. The spacecraft is designed for astrometry: measuring the positions, distances and motions of stars with unprecedented precision,[5][6] and the positions of exoplanets by measuring attributes about the stars they orbit such as their apparent magnitude and color.While scanning the sky to chart a billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy, ESA’s Gaia satellite is also sensitive to celestial bodies closer to home, and regularly observes asteroids in our Solar System. This view shows the orbits of more than 14 000 known asteroids (with the Sun at the centre of the image) based on information from Gaia’s second data release, which was made public in 2018. The majority of asteroids depicted in this image, shown in bright red and orange hues, are main-belt asteroids, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter; Trojan asteroids, found around the orbit of Jupiter, are shown in dark red. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel[a] (27 August 1770 – 14 November 1831) was a German philosopher and one of the most influential figures of German idealism and 19th-century philosophy. Nicolaus Copernicus[b] (19 February 1473 – 24 May 1543) was a Renaissance polymath, active as a mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic canon, who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than Earth at its center. In all likelihood, Copernicus developed his model independently of Aristarchus of Samos, an ancient Greek astronomer who had formulated such a model some eighteen centuries earlier.[6][c][d][e] The publication of Copernicus's model in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), just before his death in 1543, was a major event in the history of science, triggering the Copernican Revolution and making a pioneering contribution to the Scientific Revolution. A polyglot and polymath, he obtained a doctorate in canon law and was a mathematician, astronomer, physician, classics scholar, translator, governor, diplomat, and economist. From 1497 he was a Warmian Cathedral chapter canon. In 1517 he derived a quantity theory of money—a key concept in economics—and in 1519 he formulated an economic principle that later came to be called Gresham's la https://lnkd.in/daSckkVQ Website;https;//www.Facebook.com/aamor9.

In 1517 he derived a quantity theory of money—a key concept in economics—and in 1519 he formulated an economic principle that later came to be called Gresham's law In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem or Pythagoras' theorem is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry between the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides. The theorem can be written as an equation relating the lengths of the sides a, b and the hypotenuse c, sometimes called the Pythagorean equation: 𝑎2+𝑏2=𝑐2. The theorem can be generalized in various ways: to higher-dimensional spaces, to spaces that are not Euclidean, to objects that are not right triangles, and to objects that are not triangles at all but n-dimensional solids. A recent paper may help explain why a portable chemistry lab on NASA’s Curiosity rover has continually sniffed out traces of the gas near the surface of Gale Crater. The most surprising revelation from NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover — that methane is seeping from the surface of Gale Crater — has scientists scratching their heads. Living creatures produce most of the methane on Earth. But scientists haven’t found convincing signs of current or ancient life on Mars, and thus didn’t expect to find methane there.the portable chemistry lab aboard Curiosity, known as SAM, or Sample Analysis at Mars,. Its likely source, scientists assume, are geological mechanisms that involve water and rocks deep underground. https://lnkd.in/daSckkVQ Website;https;//www.Facebook.com/aamor9.
