NASA is not alone in space!

NASA is not alone in space!

Everybody knows that NASA is responsible for exploring and researching space. But did you know that many other government agencies also deal with space? 

Artist's conception of the GOES-R weather satellite. GOES-R will be operated by NOAA.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) NOAA studies the oceans and the atmosphere. They are interested in things like weather and climate here on Earth. A great way to get a clear picture of Earth is to look at it from high in space using a satellite. NOAA is in charge of a number of satellites. These satellites monitor weather on the ground.

The Launch of LandSat 8 on February 11th, 2013. LandSat 8 is operated by the USGS. It takes pictures of Earth from Space.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
The agency that keeps you safe when you are flying in the United States is the FAA. They monitor all the planes in the sky. But they are also responsible for commercial space travel. Commercial space travel is any trip to space not run by a government. The FAA also makes sure these space flights are safe just like they do for regular flights.
 The United States Geological Survey (USGS) 
The USGS studies the landscape of the United States. They map the United States’ natural resources and hazards. The USGS also has an interest in space. Satellites provide the USGS with pictures of Earth. USGS uses these pictures to create detailed maps. 
The Department of Energy (DOE)
The DOE is responsible for dealing with anything that helps power homes and cities in the United States. But they are also responsible for powering things far away from the U.S.—things in the far off reaches of our Solar System! They have helped power things like the New Horizons mission. The New Horizon’s mission will make it all the way to Pluto by 2015!

What Is a Supernova? | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
How common are supernovas?
Not very. Astronomers believe that about two or three supernovas occur each century in galaxies like our own Milky Way. Because the universe contains so many galaxies, astronomers observe a few hundred supernovas per year outside our galaxy. Space dust blocks our view of most of the supernovas within the Milky Way.

What can we learn from supernovas?
Scientists have learned a lot about the universe by studying supernovas. They use the second type of supernova (the kind involving white dwarfs) like a ruler, to measure distances in space.
They have also learned that stars are the universe’s factories. Stars generate the chemical elements needed to make everything in our universe. At their cores, stars convert simple elements like hydrogen into heavier elements. These heavier elements, such as carbon and nitrogen, are the elements needed for life.
Only massive stars can make heavy elements like gold, silver, and uranium. When explosive supernovas happen, stars distribute both stored-up and newly-created elements throughout space.

How do scientists study supernovas?
NASA scientists use a number of different types of telescopes to search for and then study supernovas. One example is the NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) mission, which uses X-ray vision to investigate the universe. NuSTAR is helping scientists observe supernovas and young nebulas to learn more about what happens leading up to, during, and after these spectacular blasts.

Artist's conception of a Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellite. These satellites are used by the United States Strategic Comand to keep track of weather all around the world. They help the DoD plan military operations.

 The Department of Defense (DoD) 
The DoD is the part of the government in charge of all branches of the military. They also run many other groups that keep America safe. Space is a big part of the DoD. Satellites provide the DoD with a good view of almost anything on the ground.  They also help the government communicate around the globe. Many groups within the DoD study or use space. These include:

Air Force Space Command
The Missile Defense Agency
The National Reconnaissance Office
U.S. Strategic Command
Army Space and Missile Defense Command
The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency
Defense Space Council 

Humans often look out into the vast expanse of space from the ground. But there are hundreds of satellites looking down at us from space. It takes a lot of people to keep track of all those satellites zipping around our planet!

Searching for Other Planets Like Ours | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
Water is necessary for life here on Earth, and it is probably necessary for life on other planets too.
We don’t know what living things on other planets would look like.
And they might be so small they could only be seen with a microscope.
So how do we find planets that could be homes for living things?
We look at stars.
We watch other stars closely to see planets pass in front of them. When a planet crosses in front of a star, it’s called a transit. The planet blocks a small amount of the light from the star.
We can see a very small change in the star’s brightness. This is how we can tell there could be a planet there.
A NASA spacecraft called Kepler has found thousands of exoplanets this way. Future missions will be searching, too!

Some orbited a spinning stellar corpse – the core of an exploded star – called a pulsar, and were regularly raked by pulses of radiation. Another, a scorching gas giant with about half the heft of our own planet Jupiter, hugged its star so tightly that a year, once around the star, took only four days.Their extreme nature, however, also made them easier to find with the early planet-hunting technology of the 1980s and ’90s. Ground-based observatories took the reins, providing the historic first burst of exoplanet discovery. The technology got better and the planet count ran into the hundreds.

<p>“For the Artemis Generation, we need creative minds,” she said. “We need artists, scientists, engineers, technologists, physicians, attorneys, and financial connoisseurs. This next generation is going to have to be open-minded thought seekers. They need to be willing to do things that we have never done before and take the risks so that we can put boots on the Moon and Mars.” </p>
