To add human mission to #Mars 🔴 to this list we are going to have to get serious about #researchanddevelopment going into #advancedmaterials "For a voyage to Mars—which NASA is eyeing after putting humans on the moon again in 2025—much will rest on advanced materials that can withstand the rigors of space to safely get astronauts to their destination and back. And because it can take more than a decade to develop and certify a new material for spaceflight, agencies need to decide on future missions’ key materials today." https://lnkd.in/eHhmdGVV -GSP- MilkyWayEconomy

After Several delays Boeing has launched NASA astronauts for the first time using its Starliner spacecraft. Here are some key points related to the mission: 1. Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were on board for a week-long mission to the International Space Station (ISS). 2. The Spacecraft is specially designed for missions in Low Earth Orbit, by Boeing Aerospace along with NASA's Commercial Crew Program (CPP).   3. This mission's main goal was to test the spacecraft's performance thoroughly. The results from these tests will help improve the Starliner for future space missions. 4. This event is a key moment for Boeing and NASA, showing that the Starliner can be a reliable option for transporting crew to the ISS and other potential missions in space. #SpaceExploration #BoeingStarliner #NASA #LowEarthOrbit #SpaceInnovation #ISS #Astronauts #FutureMissions #SpaceTechnology

If you are at #ASCEND2023, I invite you to stop by my panel session at 14:00 PDT today in the Summit Ballroom at Caesar's Forum! TOPIC -- Know Before You Go: Are Astronaut Analogs Useful Prep for High-stakes Human Spaceflight? As humans prepare for a permanent return to the Moon, missions to Mars and potential exploration beyond, analog simulations here on earth can offer the best guess as to what awaits us in space. Analogs are the prologues for high-stakes human spaceflight missions, helping us understand how the human body will respond during long-duration missions in extreme environments and helping mitigate as many risks to current and future astronauts as possible. In this session, we will hear from an international panel of veteran analog crew members, researchers, current/former astronauts, and space agency leaders as they reflect on the importance of astronaut analog studies before sending humans into space and their value to participants who have eventually gone to space. Panelists: Sandra Magnus William Brandon Vessey Miroslav Rozloznik, PhD.

Thrilled to share a major milestone achieved with the incredible team at NASA JPL! I had the privilege of providing Business Management support on SunRISE. Kudos to our inspiring Project Manager, Jim Lux, for leading us to success. The mission, detailed in this article https://lnkd.in/gDpBHTGM, marks a significant achievement as all space vehicles are now assembled and in storage, poised for future launch! This builds the foundation for groundbreaking science, studying the physics of explosions in the Sun's atmosphere. Being part of this journey has been an incredible learning experience, overcoming challenges, and contributing to space exploration. Congratulations to the entire team on reaching this impressive milestone! 🚀 #NASA #SpaceExploration #TeamAchievement"

#DYK Leonardo’s rich history in Space dates back to the 1960s, with the company contributing to some of the most iconic missions developed by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Investigating the mysterious Saturn with the Cassini-Huygens mission in 1997, studying Jupiter since 2016 with the JUNO mission, landing on an asteroid in 2020 with OSIRIS-REx, allowing the James Webb Space Telescope to navigate in Space, building 40% of the pressurized volume of the International Space Station. No matter the challenge, #Leonardo was there!   Ready to contribute further to US governmental and commercial missions, Leonardo is a key part of the European Space industry, committed to extend human’s reach into Space and to create a better life on Earth.   Leonardo belongs to the ambitious team of companies working on the Artemis mission that will see astronauts orbiting around and settling on the Moon and beyond, and the Mars Sample Return program, with the objective of reaching Mars to bring soil samples back to Earth for the first time in history.   Dive deeper into Leonardo's contribution to #NASA programs: https://lnkd.in/dGzYYspK   #NationalSpaceDay2024 #SpaceExploration 🎥 © NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Conceptual Image Lab

🚨 Launch Alert! 🚨 Axiom Space’s 3rd commercial human spaceflight mission will be the 1st all-European commercial astronaut mission to launch to the International Space Station. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Ax-3 crew aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to the ISS from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Jan. 17 at 5:11 p.m. ET. The crew will dock to the space station at approximately 5:15 a.m. ET on Jan. 19. Once docked, the Ax-3 astronauts plan to spend 14 days aboard the orbiting laboratory implementing a full mission comprised of microgravity research, technology demonstrations, and outreach engagements. The Ax-3 crewmembers are Commander Michael López-Alegría of the U.S. and Spain, Pilot Walter Villadei of the Italian Air Force, and Mission Specialists Alper Gezeravcı of Türkiye and Marcus Wandt of Sweden and the European Space Agency. By supporting private astronaut missions like this one, NASA is enabling commercial space and a more diverse space economy.🚀 #spacefrontier #newspace #launchalert #SpaceTech #RocketLaunch #innovation #axiomspace #ax3 #nasa #spacex 

For years, #TRISH has supported research projects and studies that aim to solve the challenges of human exploration in space. To understand how to solve those challenges, we first must know the risks to human health during #space travel. Understanding these risks and finding solutions or countermeasures is essential for a return to the #moon in NASA’s #Artemis missions and, eventually, crewed missions to Mars. #SpaceHealth Learn more about how the body changes in space and explore other space health resources: https://lnkd.in/gvSE7pKW

The Boeing X-37B (Orbital Test Vehicle) operated by the United States Space Force is a reusable space plane that can perform missions vital to understanding our sustained operations in the space domain. In 2022 the X-37B set a new record of 908 days in orbit since its first mission in 2010. The OTV is schedule for launch on December 7th at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket for USSF-52 which will include testing seeds and radiation exposure in space. Hopefully the results from these tests could put mankind one step closer to having the first sweetgreen location in space. #SpaceSalad #AIAA #ASCENDxTexas #ASCEND #Space #NASA #SpaceX #USSF #SFA https://lnkd.in/eab2UY_T
