Here’s a big question: How did life begin on Earth? We don’t quite know, but this fundamental question is a driving force behind astrobiology research at NASA. Understanding how life originated on our planet could inform us about the potential for life to exist throughout the universe. Astrobiology expert Shawn Domagal-Goldman explains more about our search for answers. Explore more about astrobiology at NASA #nasa #usa #public #technology #big #question #earth #life

Northrop Grumman's 19th commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station is carrying scientific investigations including a 3D neuron cell culture to test gene therapy, instruments to monitor plasma density, and an updated potable water dispenser system. The Cygnus spacecraft carrying these experiments to the orbiting laboratory is scheduled to lift off no earlier than August 1 from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia. #nasa #usa #public #technology #experiment #science #mission #space #station #international #new #news

Where does space begin? Well, it depends. There’s no sharp boundary that marks the end of atmosphere and beginning of space. But no matter where you draw the line in the sand — or the air — Earth’s atmosphere is full of all kinds of interesting stuff. That’s why scientists like Doug Rowland are studying its many layers. #nasa #usa #public #earth #technology #space #experiment #news #update

NASA, NOAA Climate Experts Discuss Record-Breaking Heat (Official News Briefing) On the heels of record-breaking June temperatures, climate experts from NASA and NOAA (the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) will discuss the latest findings, and how using satellite data can help manage the effects of climate change. Participants include: • Bill Nelson, administrator, NASA • Kate Calvin, chief scientist and senior climate advisor, NASA Headquarters • Karen St. Germain, director, Earth Science Division, NASA Headquarters • Gavin Schmidt, director, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, New York • Carlos Del Castillo, chief, Ocean Ecology Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland • Sarah Kapnick, chief scientist, NOAA

NASA's Psyche Mission to an Asteroid Official NASA Trailer Join the journey as NASA’s Psyche mission team prepares for a targeted Oct. 5, 2023, launch to explore a unique metallic asteroid orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid, likely made largely of nickel-iron metal mixed with rock, could contain metal from the core of a planetesimal (the building block of an early rocky planet) and may offer a unique window into the violent history of collisions and accretion that created the terrestrial planets like Earth. Arizona State University leads the Psyche mission. JPL, which is managed by Caltech for NASA, is responsible for the mission’s overall management, system engineering, integration and test, and mission operations. Maxar Technologies in Palo Alto, California, provided the high-power solar electric propulsion spacecraft chassis. #nasa #usa #public #mission #university #team #earth #join #technology #trailer #official

How do planets get their names? With the exception of Earth, the planets in our solar system were named after Greek or Roman gods. Today, the job of naming things in space falls to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the internationally recognized authority for naming celestial bodies and their surface features.
