    In the truest sense of the word, NASA has #reinvented #the #wheel. New material properties allow it to navigate, where conventional vehicles would fail (see my illustrations depicting failed locomotion on Mars).

  21. "In April 2024, NASA approved Dragonfly, a mission consisting of a flying robotic drone with four pairs of rotors to carry it from place to place on the Titanian surface, landing to perform measurements before flying to the next site. NASA plans to launch the craft in 2028, with an anticipated arrival at Titan in 2034."

  27. I'll start. My favorite #SpaceMissions are

    * Apollo
    * Voyager 1 and 2
    * The Space Shuttle in general (SLS)
    * ISS
    * Hubble Telescope
    * Rosatta/Philae
    * Curiosity
    * JWST
    * Perserverance/Ingenuity
    * First Falcon Heavy reusable dual landing (not really a mission, I know)
    * Juno
    * Huygens/Cassini

    And I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of other important and inspiring things.

  28. [#SummerNews #4] How can #research in #astronomy be adapted to climate issues? How to make it compatible with the #ParisAgreements?

    Several IRAP researchers (including @jknodlseder ) have quantified the #CarbonFootprint of astronomical observatories and #SpaceMissions. The results are indisputable: emissions are following an upward trend, largely dominated by space missions. How can this tendency be reversed?

    Researchers have put forward several ideas: irap.omp.eu/en/2024/08/when-th

  29. It's always interesting to see insights into how #SpaceMissions run. For example, at the recent #NASA #TESS meeting, the onboard software folks were experimenting with getting higher compression rates for data... by installing gzip on the onboard processor. I guess if something works well, don't overcomplicate it!

  30. SLIMの復帰! 今週の宇宙飛行

    NASAのDARTミッション後の小惑星の変化や超大質量ブラックホールの新たな知見、世界中の打ち上げ活動の総括など、興奮の連続だった宇宙飛行の今週を振り返る。日本のSLIM月面着陸機の頑強さ、

    ULAの象徴的なDelta IV Heavyの最終飛行、フランスの小型衛星打ち上げ機への投資なども。次週に控える興奮の打ち上げに備えよう。
