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

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.

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!

🌍 Celebrating Earth Day with Our Partners Who Engage Students in Learning about Our Planet 🚀 Virginia Earth System Science Scholars (VESSS) Program: We're proud to partner with the Virginia Space Grant Consortium to support the VESSS program, an immersive initiative engaging high school juniors and seniors in learning about the complexities of Earth's systems through NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's satellite missions. After completing online courses, students are invited to attend a prestigious residential summer academy at NASA Langley Research Center, where they engage in NASA-related research and satellite mission design while connecting directly with NASA scientists, engineers, and technologists, all in an environment deeply rooted in Earth's exploration and understanding. 🏫 PLACES (Place-Based Learning to Advance Connections, Education, and Stewardship): We're also privileged to work with WestEd and their NASA-funded PLACES project, focused on engaging students in data-rich, place-based Earth science learning. The project uses a professional learning framework to help teachers cultivate students' sense of place and understanding of earth science concepts using NASA data and data tools. These partnerships exemplify our shared vision of preparing the next generation of earth scientists to use data, data tools, and scientific processes to understand and protect the sustainability of our planet. As we commemorate Earth Day, let's celebrate not only the beauty of our planet but also the remarkable efforts of NASA-funded projects like VESSS and PLACES that are shaping the leaders of tomorrow. #earthday #NASA
