OSIRIS-REx Departs Bennu and Delivers Sample
This animation shows NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft departing asteroid Bennu, returning to Earth, and dropping off a capsule of pristine material from the asteroid. On September 24, 2023, the sample return capsule will enter Earth’s atmosphere, cross the Western U.S., deploy its parachute, and touch down at the Air Force’s Utah Test and Training Range in the Great Salt Lake Desert. From there, the capsule will be flown to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, where its samples of asteroid Bennu will be curated, distributed, and studied for decades to come.

Chandrayaan 3 Lander Makes A Successful And Safe Soft Landing | ISRO Chandrayaan 3 Landing
Chandrayaan 3 Landing Updates: After a 40-day journey starting from the Sathish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Chandrayaan-3 mission has landed successfully. The Chandrayaan 3's Vikram lander should made a soft lunar landing at 6.04 PM IST on August 23.

How NASA Uses Gravity and Radio Waves to Study Planets and Moons
The Deep Space Network, NASA’s international collection of giant radio antennas used to communicate with spacecraft at the Moon and beyond, helps scientists and engineers use gravity and radio science experiments to learn more about our planetary neighborhood.
After reaching a spacecraft reaches its destination, it uses radio antennas to communicate with the Deep Space Network, which in turn transmits radio signals back to the spacecraft. Every spacecraft travels in a predetermined path emitting radio signals as it orbits around its target. Scientists and engineers can infer the spacecraft's location and how fast it's going by measuring changes in the spacecraft's radio signal frequency. This is made possible by the Doppler effect, the same phenomenon that causes a siren to sound different as it travels towards and away from you.
The Doppler phenomenon is observed here when the spacecraft and the Deep Space Network antenna move in relation to each other. Differences between the frequency of radio signals sent by the spacecraft as it orbits and signals received on Earth give us details about the gravitational field of a planetary body. For example, if the gravity is slightly stronger, the spacecraft will accelerate slightly more. If gravity is slightly weaker, the spacecraft will accelerate slightly less. By developing a model of the planetary body's gravitational field, which can be mapped as a gravitational shape, scientists and researchers can deduce information about its internal structure.
The Deep Space Network was developed by and is managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California. The antennas of the Deep Space Network are the indispensable link to robotic explorers venturing beyond Earth. They provide the crucial connection for commanding our spacecraft and receiving never-before-seen images and scientific information on Earth, propelling our understanding of the universe, our solar system and ultimately, our place within it.
JPL manages the Deep Space Network for the Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Program, based at NASA Headquarters within the Space Operations Mission Directorate.

Astronaut Answers Wyoming Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Space Grant Student Questions July 19, 2023
Aboard the International Space Station, NASA Expedition 69 Flight Engineer Stephen Bowen answered pre-recorded questions about life and work on the orbiting laboratory during an in-flight event July 19 with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Wyoming students. Bowen is in the midst of a science mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies. Such research benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future human exploration through the agency’s Artemis missions, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future expeditions to Mars.

Beaver Rewilding Impacts Measured by NASA
When beavers build dams, the changes they make to their habitat can improve everything from biodiversity to drought resilience. Researchers at Boise State University and Utah State University, in collaboration with NASA’s Applied Sciences Ecological Conservation program area, are adding remote sensing data to a suite of tools to measure what happens when beaver are reintroduced to an area.
For people managing water resources and conservation efforts, predicting which streams can support beavers and monitoring how water and vegetation change once they return is critical. Using satellite data makes it possible to monitor large areas and track changes over time.

$1 vs $250,000 Vacation!
I did not expect the $250,000 vacation to be that crazy…
Thank you teamLab Planets TOKYO for letting us film!
Thanks to the Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel - http://www.instagram.com/pullmantoure...
All filming at the Eiffel Tower required the authorizations and supervision from SETE: Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (operating company of the Eiffel Tower). Thank you to SETE and their staff.
Shoutout to CGGeek for the outro VFK! -
