When astronauts live and work on the Moon, they'll have to deal with lunar dust—which isn't just a breathing hazard, but can also cause visibility issues for both people and machines. A team of engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center are working on a solution: the Instantaneous Clarity of Ambient Environment Capability (ICAN-C) project, which uses artificial intelligence to effectively remove dust and small particle debris from optical systems in real time. ICAN-C also has potential applications outside of space, such as helicopter landings, underwater operations, and other areas that require visual clarity.

AI aids in removing lunar dust through the Instantaneous Clarity of Ambient Environment Capability (ICAN-C) project at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. This AI-driven solution uses Generative AI for lunar image denoising, effectively removing dust and small particle debris from optical systems in real time, enhancing visibility for astronauts and machines on the Moon. ICAN-C has potential applications beyond space exploration, such as improving visibility during helicopter landings, supporting underwater operations, and in other scenarios where visual clarity is crucial despite the presence of particulates like dust or debris. Pretty cool.

🚀 The future of panel discussions is changing! 🚀 See below. NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration doing a session at SXSW with astronauts while in space. Oration Speakers might have a while to go before we can do that! But we can work with you if you are interested in having your speaking as a hologram, which is just as futuristic.

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration takes sharing cat videos a step further! NASA achieves a historic feat by transmitting the first-ever cat video from space as part of a test using its state-of-the-art communications laser. The video features a fluffy orange tabby cat named Taters, playing with a laser pointer. Beamed from NASA's Psyche spacecraft over 19 million miles from Earth, the video includes technical data, Taters' heart rate, colour, and breed. The Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) system successfully sent the video at a record distance, demonstrating the potential for future interplanetary communication. The technology aims to replace traditional radio systems, offering faster data transmission crucial for upcoming lunar and Mars missions.

NASA X AQUAPORIN NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration has released a story and video about the groundbreaking science now making its way into space, featuring none other than Aquaporin's cutting-edge technology: "Results could advance development of a complete and full-scale membrane-based water recovery system, improving water reclamation and reducing the amount of material that needs to be launched to the space station. This water filtration technology also could have applications in extreme environments on Earth, such as military and emergency settings, and for decentralized water systems in remote locations."

As June turns to July, two veteran NASA test pilots are enjoying a slightly longer stay at the International Space Station. This delay in returning to earth will allow engineers to fix problems on their Boeing Starliner capsule, problems that arose on their June 5 trip to the orbiting laboratory. Delayed or not, what is the experience of life like 250 miles above terra firma? Such was the focus of the "Live From Space: NASA Astronauts & Your Work in Orbit" panel at SXSW 2024. In addition to three speakers on-stage in Austin, this session featured a live remote Q&A from NASA astronauts Jeanette Epps and Loral O'Hara. Watch the video of this session via the SXSW YouTube page: https://lnkd.in/gd-9R_3p What excites you most about the various projects in which NASA is currently involved? SpaceX or Blue Origin or someone else -- which of the private space companies has the best vision for the future? How does the addition of new international players change the space game? Speaking proposals about space exploration are a great fit for the SXSW PanelPicker (often these fit into the "2050" track). Please get your interstellar idea for March March 2025 into this interface before the process closes at the end of the day on Sunday, July 21. panelpicker.sxsw.com/about #sxsw, #sxsw2024, #sxsw2025, #space, #spaceexploration, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, #creativity, #innovation, #future, Leah Cheshier, Johnson Space Center, Jeanette Epps, PhD, Kristin Fabre, #NASA, #speaking, #publicspeaking, #speakingopportunities, #PanelPicker, #BoeingStarliner

Elon Musk DESTROYED NASA! Part 2 Part 1 https://buff.ly/4bXyn3F Especially as we see an increase in commercial space travel, in which wealthy, private astronauts are paying to travel to space simply for the experience, rather than to provide some scientific or other benefit to society, least of all providing benefit to the earth’s ecosystems. Currently, space agencies (national or otherwise) do not seem very interested in the broader environmental impacts of their activities or the social and moral implications these entail. We suggest that future planning efforts should include full lifecycle environmental impacts as part of their evaluation. Many space agencies (e.g. NASA [8], CNSA/Roscosmos [48], and SpaceX [49]) are currently planning programs for human travel to and habitation on the Moon and even Mars [50]. An increase in future missions to the Moon or Mars means an increase in payloads with increased associated propellant use. In terms of familiar activities, this is equivalent to each space traveller: - occupying 20-48 seats on a Boeing 747 that never lands, emissions from long-distance travel are around 98 g CO2-eq per passenger-km [36], which assuming an average long-haul flight of 7100 km and flight time of 9.3 hours [47] gives …

This is a mock up of the module I am the Network Architect for. This is just one piece in an amazing journey back to the moon.

#GlobalNews It's now been three weeks and counting for Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, as NASA and Boeing troubleshoot equipment problems. Three potential landing dates have so far been called off, and their flight home is now on hold.
