Since 2017, Bally Ribbon Mills has worked with NASA to develop a new woven fabric called Spiderweave for the Adaptable, Deployable, Entry and Placement Technology (ADEPT) project. The technology development is supported by NASA’s Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer  (SBIR/STTR) program, which provides funding and resources to companies like Bally Ribbon Mills that could be longstanding partners for NASA missions. Bally Ribbon Mills received additional NASA SBIR/STTR program funding in 2020 to develop a diagnostic tool to measure and monitor the operation of 3D weaving equipment to help detect variations and problems early in the weaving process.

Astronauts on the ISS tested prototype water purification systems based on membranes infused with aquaporin proteins. The testing, which validated both forward and reverse osmosis-based systems, was sponsored by the European Space Agency and overseen by NASA.

Could Proteins Clean Up Wastewater in Space?
NASA’s working with the Danish company Aquaporin A/S on a spinoff technology that would use the proteins that transfer water through the membranes of living cells to clean up wastewater. NASA helped test this tech on the ground and worked with the European Space Agency to test it in space. Now, it’s being tried out at Ames’ Sustainability Base. The tech could be used for wastewater treatment, as well as dehydrating foods and beverages to prepare snacks for long space voyages.

Software to Simulate Other Worlds and Alien Oceans
A major way NASA makes its tools accessible is by releasing software for the public to freely use in their own work; from students and researchers to innovators and small businesses. Two software releases – Synthetic Moon and OceanWATERS – create simulations of otherworldly environments. Synthetic Moon simulates the terrain and elevation of Earth’s Moon using 3D models in high resolution. Though it’s not designed for mission planning and operations, it’s perfect for outreach and education as well as mission simulations and robotic research. Currently, the software is released to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California for use. OceanWATERS is open source and can be requested by anyone.

The Science Behind the 2024 NASA Pi Day ChallengeThis 11th installment of the NASA Pi Day Challenge includes four illustrated math problems designed to get students thinking like scientists and engineers to calculate how to get a laser message to Earth, the change in an asteroid’s orbit, the amount of data that can be collected by an Earth satellite, and how a team of mini rovers will map portions of the Moon’s surface.Read on to learn more about the science and engineering behind each problem or click the link below to jump right into the challenge. › Take the NASA Pi Day Challenge› Educators, get the lesson here!Receiver RiddleIn December 2023, NASA tested a new way to communicate with distant spacecraft using technology called Deep Space Optical Communications, or DSOC. From 19,000,000 miles (30,199,000 km) away, the Psyche spacecraft beamed a high-definition video encoded in a near-infrared laser to Earth. The video, showing a cat named Taters chasing a laser, traveled at the speed of light, where it was received at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory. Because of the great distance the laser had to travel, the team needed to aim the transmission at where Earth would be when the signal arrived. In Receiver Riddle, use pi to determine where along Earth's orbit the team needed to aim the laser so that it could be received at the Observatory at the correct moment. This animation shows how DSOC's laser signals are sent between the Psyche spacecraft and ground stations on Earth - first as a pointing reference to ensure accurate aiming of the narrow laser signal and then as a data transmission to the receiving station. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU| Watch on YouTubeDaring DeflectionIn 2022, NASA crashed a spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos in an attempt to alter its orbit. The mission, known as the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, took place at an asteroid that posed no threat to our planet. Rather, it was an ideal target for NASA to test an important element of its planetary defense plan. DART was designed as a kinetic impactor, meaning it transferred its momentum and kinetic energy to Dimorphos upon impact, altering the asteroid's orbit.
What’s a Supermoon and Just How Super Is It? - Teachable Moments | NASA/JPL Edu
In fact, these photos can be taken during any Moon phase, but they will likely be used in stories promoting the supermoon.There are also images that have been edited to inaccurately dramatize the size of the supermoon. Both of these can lead students, and adults, taking pictures with their cell phone to think that they’ve done something wrong or just aren’t cut out for observing the sky, which isn’t true!Your students may have noticed that when they see a full moon low on the horizon, it appears huge and then seems to shrink as it rises into the night sky. This can happen during any full moon. Known as the Moon Illusion, it has nothing to do with a supermoon. In fact, scientists still aren’t sure what causes the Moon Illusion.BrightnessThe full moon is bright and the supermoon is even brighter! Sunlight reflecting off the Moon during its full phase is bright enough to cast shadows on the ground. During a supermoon, that brightness can increase up to 30 percent as a result of the Moon being closer to Earth, a phenomenon explained by the inverse square law. (Introduce students to the inverse square law with this space-related math lesson for 6th- through 8th-graders.) As with the size of the Moon, students may not remember just how bright the last full moon was or easily be able to compare it. Powerful city lights can also diminish how bright a supermoon seems. Viewing it away from bright overhead street lights or outside the city can help viewers appreciate the increase in brightness.What Not to ExpectA supermoon will not cause extreme flooding, earthquakes, fires, volcanic eruptions, severe weather, nor tsunamis, despite what incorrect and non-scientific speculators might suggest.
