Patrick Degrosse, engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, shows the guts of the ventilator that a team of NASA engineers designed in just over five weeks. The machine uses none of the parts used in traditional ventilators, so as not to compete for supply lines. Over 300 companies registered on the JPL website to learn more about the ventilator, and more than 100 applied for a license.NASA

NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, capped by the Orion spacecraft, sits on the mobile launcher at Launch Complex 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida prior to the Artemis I mission. Artemis I, which launched in November of 2022, was the first integrated test of the agency’s deep space exploration systems: SLS, the Orion spacecraft, and supporting ground systems. It was also the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to the Moon.

In 2022, mathematician Simon Plouffe discovered the formula to calculate any single digit of pi. In the same year, teams around the world used cloud computing technology to calculate pi to 100 trillion digits. But you might be surprised to learn that for space exploration, NASA uses far fewer digits of pi.Here at NASA, we use pi to map the Moon, measure Earth’s changing surface, receive laser-coded messages from deep space, and calculate asteroid orbits. But pi isn’t just used for exploring the cosmos. Since pi can be used to find the area or circumference of round objects and the volume or surface area of shapes like cylinders, cones, and spheres, it is useful in all sorts of ways. Transportation teams use pi when determining the size of new subway tunnels. Electricians can use pi when calculating the current or voltage passing through circuits. And you might even use pi to figure out how much fencing is needed around a circular school garden bed. In the United States, March 14 can be written as 3.14, which is why that date was chosen for celebrating all things pi. In 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution officially designating March 14 as Pi Day and encouraging teachers and students to celebrate the day with activities that teach students about pi. And that's precisely what the NASA Pi Day Challenge is all about! 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.

Guide your spacecraft through a space maze | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
Maybe spacecraft will never be quite as small as the spacecraft in our maze, but soon the entire computer system for a spacecraft will fit on a chip the size of our tiniest maze.

 	article last updated January 6, 2012
 

Tiny, but mighty . . .
Space engineers are working to stuff more and more of the needed functions for a spacecraft into one little chip.

See how tiny this spacecraft chip is beside other kinds of chips you may be familiar with: 
Here are some of the spacecraft jobs this tiny little chip does:
 

 Guidance and navigation: Figures out where the spacecraft is and keeps it pointed in the right direction.
Communications: Receives messages and instructions from Earth and sends data back to Earth.
 Power: Controls the use of electrical power, charging of batteries, etc.
 Computer: Runs all the programs that tell other elements of the spacecraft what to do, prepares the measurement data and images (if a camera is onboard) for sending back to Earth, and many other jobs.

 This mini-chip technology has been used on several spacecraft, including missions going to Pluto, the Sun, Comet Tempel 1, and Mars.
 Making these tiny chips is part of NASA's "X2000" program, at the Center for Integrated Space Microsystems at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

Payload Adapter Testing: A Key Step for Artemis IV Rocket’s Success - NASA
At about 8.5 feet tall, the payload adapter’s eight composite sandwich panels, which measure about 12 feet each in length, contain a metallic honeycomb-style structure at their thickest point but taper to a single carbon fiber layer at each end. The panels are pieced together using a high-precision process called determinant assembly, in which each component is designed to fit securely in a specific place, like puzzle pieces.
After manufacturing, the payload adapter will also be structurally tested at Marshall, which manages the SLS Program. The first structural test series begins this spring. Test teams will use the engineering development unit – an exact replica of the flight version of the hardware – to check the structure’s strength and durability by twisting, shaking, and applying extreme pressure.
While every Block 1B configuration of the SLS rocket will use a payload adapter, each will be customized to fit the mission’s needs. The determinant assembly method and digital tooling ensure a more efficient and uniform manufacturing process, regardless of the mission profile, to ensure hardware remains on schedule. Data from this test series will further inform design and manufacturing processes as teams begin manufacturing the qualification and flight hardware for Artemis IV.
NASA is working to land the first woman, first person of color, and its first international partner astronaut on the Moon under Artemis. SLS is part of NASA’s backbone for deep space exploration, along with the Orion spacecraft and Gateway in orbit around the Moon and commercial human landing systems, next-generational spacesuits, and rovers on the lunar surface. SLS is the only rocket that can send Orion, astronauts, and supplies to the Moon in a single launch.

The program is designed to give legislators a personal understanding of the volume, complexity, and variety of daily duties and responsibilities of a judge, as well as an understanding of the conditions of the court. This experience is intended to impress upon legislators the significant role played by the courts and the justice system, their impact on the daily lives of Californians, and the need for legislative support.
The Day on the Bench program brings a legislator to a court in his or her district for a half-day visit and tour. Each individually tailored visit is designed to give legislators a personal understanding of the volume, complexity, and variety of daily duties and responsibilities of a judge, as well as the extensive responsibilities of court clerks and administrators.
