- NASA’s Roman Mission Gets Cosmic ‘Sneak Peek’ From Supercomputers Researchers are diving into a synthetic universe to help us better understand the real one. Using supercomputers at the U.S. DOE&#8217;s (Department of Energy’s) Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, scientists have created nearly 4 million simulated images depicting the cosmos as NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, jointly funded [&#8230;]
- ‘Vast and Rich:’ Studying the Ocean With NASA Computer Simulations “Every time I help with visualizing [ocean] simulation data, I learn about an entirely new area of ocean or climate research, and I’m reminded of how vast and rich this area of research is. And...the real magic happens at the intersection and interaction of simulated and observed data. It is a great honor – and [&#8230;]
- 2023 in Review: Highlights from NASA in Silicon Valley It&#8217;s been another great year at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. Join us as we review some of the highlights of the science, engineering, and innovation from 2023. Announcing a New Innovation Hub Planned for NASA Research Park at Ames Berkeley Space Center is a proposed new campus of the University of [&#8230;]
- Copernicus Trajectory Design and Optimization System Copernicus, a generalized spacecraft trajectory design and optimization system, is capable of solving a wide range of trajectory problems such as planet or moon centered trajectories, libration point trajectories, planet-moon transfers and tours, and all types of interplanetary and asteroid/comet missions. Latest News Development The Copernicus Project started at the University of Texas at Austin [&#8230;]
- NASA Pilots Get Dunked What’s it like to escape from an aircraft underwater? NASA research pilots Wayne Ringelberg, and Scott Howe recently found out when they completed pilot dunker training at the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center Civil Aerospace Medical Institute in Oklahoma. This training certifies the pilots to fly helicopters over bodies of water for [&#8230;]
- NASA Research Gathers Key Radar Data for Autonomous Air Cargo Delivery When autonomous air taxis and cargo delivery vehicles fly above neighborhoods, safe operations will depend on their ability to detect and avoid other aircraft and obstacles. As part of the agency’s broad portfolio of work on&#160;Advanced Air Mobility, NASA researchers visited the Mountain View, California headquarters of industry partner Reliable Robotics in late February to [&#8230;]
- NASA Goes Live with Surrogate eVTOL Flight Tests in Texas On a rainy October day, a Bell Textron 407GXi helicopter lifted off from the Hillwood Alliance Texas Flight Test Center in Fort Worth, Texas, and began making its way to the University of North Texas Discovery Park in Denton, about 25 miles away. It might have looked like a normal flight during its buzz over [&#8230;]
- NASA Sets Table for Safe Air Taxi Flights Editor&#8217;s Note: Edited to reflect published technical paper link. Tabletop exercises allow researchers to explore options and test scenarios in fields from military strategy and cybersecurity to disaster response planning. Now, NASA is using tabletop exercises to test how electric air taxis will fit safely into the national airspace – allowing passengers to one day [&#8230;]
- NASA Developing AI to Steer Using Landmarks – On the Moon A NASA engineer is teaching an AI machine to use features on the Moon’s horizon to navigate across the lunar surface.
- 2022 in Review: Highlights from NASA in Silicon Valley With 2023 on the horizon, join us as we look back at the highlights of 2022 at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. 1. We are Artemis. NASA’s historic flight mission to the Moon, Artemis I, is complete! The first in a series of increasingly complex missions that will enable human exploration to [&#8230;]
