The Planetary Society’s Post

The first volume of the Space Sustainability Strategy released by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration yesterday is more welcomed planning for the increasingly busy orbits around the Earth and beyond. In the document, the overarching goals of NASA are to, "maintain the conduct of space activities indefinitely into the future in a manner that is safe, peaceful, and responsible to meet the needs of the present generations while preserving the outer space environment for future activities and limiting harm to terrestrial life." Lofty goals for certain but it is imperative that the United States and the rest of the world's space powers continue to frame the problem set and cooperatively strategize accordingly.

Look what's landed in the #gasworld office - we're looking forward to March's read 🚀 Our Cryogenics Issue includes special features with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Cryoport Inc., Bluefors, Turbines, Inc and CO2Meter, Inc. - the great variety of content inside this issue reflects the ever-growing list of applications for cryogenic gases there are. Keep an eye out for your access to this exciting issue: https://lnkd.in/ewxWSPwB #gasworldUS #industrialgas #cryogenics #gasworldmagazine

This question is for my NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration collective: do you type the Mission Analysis, Operations, and Navigation Toolkit Environment as "MONTE" or "Monte?" The printed literature uses all caps, the website uses the BBC's habit of only capitalizing the first letter of the acronym.

Gravitational Waves have very little scientific value because it's just a result of perturbations in space, atmospheric air and ocean's water caused by moving/accelerating celestial bodies. It can't describe nor explain the real nature of Gravity. And we don't need a million-dollar Gravitational Wave Detectors such as LIGO to detect Gravitational Waves on Earth because Gravity is everywhere (not only in space), ubiquitous throughout the entire observable Universe. We can detect Gravitational Waves in the atmosphere and in the ocean's water using only our naked eyes, still/video cameras and seismometers or even microphones in the case of ocean gravitational waves generating sound energy. For more detailed information on the true nature of Gravity, look it up at the two scientific journals California-based ACADEMIA at: https://www.academia.edu/ and Singapore-based REAL TRUE NATURE at: https://lnkd.in/gcvE2jvt, under the title THE REAL TRUE NATURE OF QUANTUM GRAVITY. Alternatively, you can google the name of the author ROEL REAL ROVIRA to arrive at the one and only empirical and testable theory of Quantum Gravity to date, published in London, Paris and Zurich in December of 2022.

Today’s mission to the Moon is just the first our Falcon fleet will launch for NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration CLPS program which will help enable humanity to explore the Moon, Mars, and beyond, bringing us one step closer to making life multiplanetary

For this week's newsletter: What comes to mind when you hear the words “continuous human presence” in space? Well, NASA has a new definition it wants to run by you. I dive into the latest re-branding effort that's getting started for NASA's LEO strategy

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration has selected three proposals for concept studies of missions to investigate the complex system of space weather that surrounds our planet and how it's connected to Earth's atmosphere.

Welcome back, Chapea's Crew! 🖖 🌎 After 378 days in isolation within NASA's CHAPEA 3D-printed habitat, your return marks a significant milestone in the study of long-duration space missions. To delve deeper into your experiences and the scientific implications, here are some intellectual questions inspired by the mission and the academic paper: #Psychological #Impact: How did prolonged isolation and confinement in the CHAPEA habitat affect your mental health? What coping strategies did you find most effective in maintaining psychological well-being? #Team #Dynamics: Over the course of the year, how did your team's dynamics evolve? Were there any notable changes in communication, conflict resolution, or collaboration? #Food #Growth #Systems: What were the key findings regarding the viability and efficiency of the food growth systems tested? How did the quality and variety of food impact your overall health and morale? #3D-#Printed #Habitat: How did the 3D-printed habitat perform in terms of structural integrity, comfort, and functionality? Were there any unexpected challenges or benefits associated with living in a 3D-printed environment? #Simulated #Mars #Conditions: To what extent did the simulated Mars conditions (such as reduced gravity, radiation exposure, and resource limitations) accurately reflect the challenges of an actual Mars mission? What adjustments, if any, would you recommend for future simulations? #Physical #Health: How did the extended stay in the habitat impact your physical health? Were there any notable changes in muscle mass, bone density, or cardiovascular health? #Technological #Integration: How well did the various technological systems (e.g., life support, communication, waste management) integrate and function over the year? Were there any critical technological failures or noteworthy innovations? #Autonomy and #Decision-#Making: Given the time delay in communication with Earth, how did you manage autonomous decision-making? Were there any critical decisions made independently that significantly impacted the mission? Scientific Experiments: What were the most significant scientific experiments conducted during the mission, and what were their outcomes? How do these findings contribute to our understanding of living and working on Mars? #Future #Missions: Based on your experiences, what recommendations would you make for the design and execution of future long-duration space missions? What aspects of the CHAPEA mission would you suggest refining or altering? These questions aim to explore the multifaceted aspects of living and working in a simulated Mars environment, providing valuable insights for future space exploration missions. If you have some answer DM me or leave a comment! Thanks! Erik https://lnkd.in/d-3jsCEX

Following the April publication of my piece “Taking Aristotle to the Moon and Beyond,” the quarterly journal Issues in Science and technology, a joint publication of the US National Academy of Sciences and Arizona State University, is hosting a panel discussion on June 6, 2:30 Eastern Time, to discuss how philosophy can help NASA consider humanity’s future in space and develop its vision for exploring the cosmos. Watch and let me know what you think I got right and where I missed the mark. https://lnkd.in/eSytm6NP
