🚀 Exciting News from NASA - Dragonfly ( looks like an Ornithopter LoL) Mission Set to Explore Titan! 🚀 NASA is pushing the boundaries of exploration with its innovative Dragonfly mission, aiming to send a drone-like rotorcraft to Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. This ambitious endeavor, scheduled for launch in 2027, seeks to study prebiotic chemistry and extraterrestrial habitability on Titan’s uniquely Earth-like surface, which features rivers, lakes, and seas of liquid hydrocarbons. Dragonfly will leverage advancements in drone technology to fly through Titan's dense atmosphere, which is four times denser than Earth's. Over its mission, it will cover dozens of kilometers, hopping across the moon’s surface to sample and measure its composition and environment, providing insights into whether Titan could support or has supported microbial life. This mission not only highlights the innovative spirit driving NASA but also opens up numerous possibilities for future planetary exploration and understanding of life beyond Earth. Let's discuss: What implications could Dragonfly's findings have for future space exploration and our understanding of life in the universe? #NASA #SpaceExploration #Innovation #DragonflyMission #Titan https://lnkd.in/e7hHzExv

[GalaxySpaceNewsGH: After 14 years In Space, NASA's Prolific NEOWISE Asteroid-Hunter Is About To Shut Down] A NASA asteroid-hunting mission is coming to a close, paving the way for the next generation of planetary defense efforts. The NEOWISE (Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) mission will end on July 31. Building on the mission's 14-year success, NASA's NEO Surveyor (Near Earth Object Surveyor) — the first purpose-built infrared space telescope specifically dedicated to hunting hazardous near-Earth objects — will launch in late 2027, advancing the space agency's planetary defense strategy, according to a statement. The approaching solar maximum, the highest rate of solar activity during the sun's approximately 11-year cycle, has triggered the end of the NEOWISE mission. Increased solar activity, including more frequent solar flares and coronal mass ejections, heats Earth's atmosphere and causes it to expand. This creates more drag on satellites orbiting Earth — and, because NEOWISE is not equipped with a propulsion system, the spacecraft will not be able to keep itself in orbit. After observing the sky from low Earth orbit for more than 14 years, NEOWISE has made 1.45 million infrared measurements of over 44,000 objects in the solar system. It has also surveyed more than 3,000 NEOs, 215 of which the space telescope discovered itself. https://lnkd.in/eVNvvgHz #galaxyaerosgh #space #spaceexploration #SpaceNews

🌌 What's Up for June? Stargazing Highlights and Tips! 🌌 June is a fantastic month for stargazing with some exciting celestial events on the horizon: ✨ June 2nd: In the hour before sunrise, spot the crescent Moon with reddish Mars hanging beneath it, low in the east. Saturn will also be nearby, making for a stunning trio. ✨ June 3rd: The Moon will have moved to sit beneath Mars. Look eastward an hour before sunrise for this beautiful alignment. ✨ June 24th: Giant Jupiter re-emerges as a morning planet. Look about 10 degrees above the horizon as the sky begins to brighten, and it will climb higher each morning. ✨ June 27th: The Moon pairs with Saturn. By dawn, find them high in the southern sky, close enough to appear in the same field of view through binoculars. 🌙 Moon Phases for June: - New Moon: June 6th - First Quarter: June 14th - Full Moon: June 21st - Third Quarter: June 28th Stay updated on NASA's missions exploring the solar system and beyond at science.nasa.gov Clear skies and happy stargazing! 🌠 #Astronomy #Stargazing #NASA #JuneSky #PlanetaryAlignment #MoonPhases #SpaceExploration https://lnkd.in/eB5cH5MX

If NASA ARIVE ON MOON BERMUDE TRIANGLE WILL BE ACTIVATED AMERICA WILL DISAPPEAR FASTER

Only a few more days – and we will receive a unique cargo from space on Earth. This also fascinates the stars from "Asteroid City".   September 24, 2023 will go down in the history books. On this day, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's "OSIRIS-REx" satellite sends a capsule back to Earth with a unique cargo – seven years after its launch into space.   On October 20, 2020, after its long journey from Earth and many tests, "OSIRIS-REx" landed as planned on the asteroid "Bennu" and sucked in material from the surface with its gripper arm.   The fact that this complicated maneuver went so smoothly is also due in part to our subsidiary Berghof Fluoroplastic Technology GmbH. You can learn more about it here (link in the comments).   Since then, "OSIRIS-REx" has been on its long journey back to Earth with its unique and infinitely valuable cargo on board.   The upcoming landing of the capsule also fascinates the stars, who can be seen at the moment in the Hollywood movie "Asteroid City" – as this video worth watching shows.   Let yourself be fascinated by this historical event and its significance for our knowledge of the big questions of our lives!   #BerghofGroup #MovingForward #YourInnovationHub #OSIRISREX #NASA

Talking with Nicola Fox (Ph.D.) today at NASA HQ today prompts me to clarify my post below least anyone misinterpret my intent. 1. 𝙄 𝙇𝙊𝙑𝙀 𝙅𝙒𝙎𝙏, its images, and its science. 2. 𝙅𝙒𝙎𝙏 𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 and worse by being so much more expensive (10x) than originally budgeted, 𝙞𝙩 𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 missions over several years, that the public never saw (what is seen and what is not seen). 3. In comparing what $10B could do to things like sending 100k students to college or funding Artemis I was not suggesting that science funds be diverted - everyone knows I think 𝙉𝘼𝙎𝘼 𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙀 $ - but 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 4. As we evaluate other potential budget whales there can be no excuse for being 10x off. Congress is more likely to allocate future funds when past missions are successful in science and finance. 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙙𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩.  5. 𝙉𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙅𝙒𝙎𝙏 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙎𝙈𝘿 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙤𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥. The problems were baked in years ago when someone accepted an unrealistically low budget for an extremely complex design. Thomas H. Zurbuchen did what had to be done with the JWST wedge he had inherited and Fox saw it through. They made sure the huge investment paid off and it worked!
