Planning for NASA's Artemis missions involves the analysis of millions of potential mission trajectories, a challenge that requires the ability to optimize end-to-end mission profiles and address big data challenges. NASA’s Johnson Space Center is using two flight mechanics software packages to create an end-to-end mission design and optimization tool that incorporates considerations of different trajectories into a single optimization problem. This new capability improves the mission design process, preflight product development, and real-time operational support, but also has the potential to improve propellant usage and mission availability. This project also addresses how to store, manage, and interpret the terabytes of data that are generated during the mission design process. Learn more about this project, its key partners and NASA centers on our TechPort database. https://lnkd.in/etTBavtR

“For me to adapt to the new environment and then start work at NASA — it was incredible. It was very difficult, but you know, if these biofilms can grow in space, why can’t I do this giant leap?” Yo-Ann Velez Justiniano is a microbiologist tackling the challenge of biofilm — a slimy buildup of bacteria or fungi that can clog life support systems during long-duration missions in space.
