#ICYMI: The #NASASLS core stage for #Artemis II was recently on the move at #NASAMichoud in preparation for its delivery to NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Teams utilize scaffolding surrounding the core stage to assess the interior elements, including its complex avionics and propulsion systems. Watch as technicians remove the external access stands, or scaffolding, before this recent move. Learn more here >> https://lnkd.in/ePtVEzQ3

NASA's Centennial Challenges team was thrilled to have Robyn Gatens, Director of the International Space Station, visit with the Deep Space Food Challenge Simunauts at Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences this week. 🍳🌱 Robyn talked with the Simunauts about the challenge and provided insight into how food systems will greatly impact the future of human spaceflight!

Icky, sticky, and hard to kill! 🦠 A small group of scientists on the biofilm mitigation team at #NASAMarshall are studying solutions to combat the fast-growing colony of bacteria or fungi, known as biofilm, for future space missions. Learn how they are fighting this biofilm battle in space >> https://lnkd.in/evWGDB9E

Get ready to roll! In preparation for shipment, NASA's Space Launch System core stage for #Artemis II was moved to another part of #NASAMichoud on July 6. In mid-July, teams will roll the massive rocket stage to the agency’s Pegasus barge for delivery to NASA's Kennedy Space Center. LEARN MORE >> https://lnkd.in/epbch3AK

At #NASAMarshall, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation and scientific discovery. Like the spirit of Independence Day, our mission is to strive to achieve new heights and forge a path forward in space exploration. We wish you all a safe and happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

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.
