Science from Across the Solar System and Beyond - NASA's Deep Space Network - NSN Webinar Series Dr. Joseph Lazio (NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory) shared how NASA’s Deep Space Network helps in our exploration of the Solar System and beyond in a webinar held with Night Sky Network members on September 19, 2022. About This Talk Nearly every image of another planet that was taken by a NASA spacecraft has been transmitted to us through one or more antennas of NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN). For almost the past 60 years, the DSN has been guiding spacecraft to their destinations across the Solar System, sending them commands for actions to take upon reaching their destinations, and receiving the data back from them. Moreover, the DSN is a science instrument in its own right. In this Webinar, I will review what the DSN is, how it enables NASA missions throughout the Solar System and beyond, and illustrate some of the scientific measurements that it makes on its own. About Dr. Joseph Lazio Joseph Lazio is the Interplanetary Network Directorate Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology. He received his Ph.D. from Cornell University, was a National Research Council Research Associate at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, and was a Radio Astronomer on the staff of the Naval Research Laboratory, before joining JPL. He is the Project Scientist for the Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment (SunRISE) mission, and he has served as Project Scientist for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA); the Deputy Director of the Lunar University Network for Astrophysics Research (LUNAR), part of the NASA Lunar Science Institute; and the Project Scientist for the U.S. Virtual Astronomical Observatory. He also observes routinely with the world's premier ground-based radio telescopes, including the Expanded Very Large Array, the Very Long Baseline Array, and the Green Bank Telescope.

#Crew7 Watch live with us as a crew of four launch on NASA's SpaceX #Crew7 mission to the International Space Station. Liftoff is targeted at 3:27 a.m. EDT (0727 UTC), Sat., Aug. 26. Commander Jasmin Moghbeli of NASA, pilot Andreas Mogensen of the European Space Agency, and mission specialists Satoshi Furukawa of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and Konstantin Borisov of Roscosmos will launch on their SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, powered by a Falcon 9 rocket, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Visit our Crew-7 blog for the latest mission news: https://blogs.nasa.gov/crew-7 Over 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations will take place during Crew-7's mission of approximately six months in space. Experiments will include the collection of microbial samples from the exterior of the space station, the first study of human response to different spaceflight durations, and an investigation of the physiological aspects of astronauts' sleep.

NASA's SpaceX Crew-7 Launch (Official NASA Broadcast in 4K)

Four astronauts have been selected for NASA’s Artemis II mission: Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialist Christina Koch from NASA, and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency. Artemis II will be NASA’s first crewed flight test of the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft around the Moon to verify today’s capabilities for humans to explore deep space and pave the way for long-term exploration and science on the lunar surface.

To date, over 4 million photos taken by humans from space have been collected. These photographs are taken for many purposes, from artistic to the scientific, and help to show how our planet changes over time.

NASA's Space to Ground what's happening aboard the International Space Station

Earth observing instruments on the space station along with photography from crew members serve to keep a multifunctional eye on our home planet.

Colorful bursts of energy above thunderstorms called transient luminous events can be observed from the International Space Station. Instruments on the station are helping scientists study these particle outbursts, which may prove useful to better understand our climate, weather, and the behaviors of storms.

NASA now has the ability to recycle 98% of the water collected from the US segment on the space station – meeting the threshold necessary for water recovery on long-duration space exploration missions

NASA revealed the first five full-color images and spectrographic data from the world's most powerful space telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, a partnership with ESA (European Space Agency), and CSA (Canadian Space Agency). The world got its first look at the full capabilities of the mission at a live event streamed from the agency's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, on July 12, 2022. The event showcased these targets: - Carina Nebula: A landscape speckled with glittering stars and cosmic cliffs - Stephan’s Quintet: An enormous mosaic with a visual grouping of five galaxies - Southern Ring Nebula: A nebula with rings of gas and dust for thousands of years in all directions - WASP 96-b: A distinct signature of water in the atmosphere of an exoplanet orbiting a distant Sun-like star - SMACS 0723: The deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date The full set of the telescope’s first full-color images and spectroscopic data are available at: https://nasa.gov/webbfirstimages Full-resolution images can be downloaded at: https://webbtelescope.org Credit: NASA Download Avail Link: https://images.nasa.gov/details-First...)
