What the GUSTO Mission Will Do
Though many people think of space as empty except for things like stars, planets, moons, asteroids, meteors, and comets, it’s anything but. Typically, there is one molecule of matter in every cubic centimeter of the space between stars known as the interstellar medium. In more dense clouds of interstellar gas, there could be as many as 1,000,000 molecules per cubic centimeter.

The 2024-25 Budget: CalFire—Implementation of a 66-Hour Workweek
To provide round‑the‑clock coverage and allow each firefighter to take four days off per week, CalFire must hire more than one person to cover each fire response position (referred to as a “post”). Historically, CalFire used a staffing factor of 2.33, meaning the department would hire 2.33 firefighters for each post position in order to provide coverage seven days per week. As a result of the recent relief staffing augmentations mentioned above, CalFire currently is in the process of moving towards a new standard staffing factor of 3.11 for most post positions. Under this new staffing factor, the department would hire 3.11 firefighters for each post to provide coverage seven days per week as well as for when firefighters take time off (such as for vacations, sick leave, or training). CalFire fire engines generally are staffed with three personnel at all times. Since each of these positions is considered a post that must be covered, it would take 9.33 personnel to staff each engine if a 3.11 staffing factor were applied to each of the positions. 
CalFire’s Current Staffing and Operational Models Have Various Other Key Features. Besides the workweek and staffing factors, other important features of CalFire’s current staffing and operational models include the following:

Engines Currently Staffed With Mix of Classifications, Including Temporary Staff. As mentioned above, CalFire’s fire engines generally are staffed with three personnel at all times. At least one of these three personnel is required to be a Fire Captain or Fire Apparatus Engineer (positions referred to as “company officers”). For example, a fire engine may be staffed with a Fire Captain and two Fire Fighter Is or a Fire Apparatus Engineer and two Fire Fighter Is. As we display in Figure 4, these personnel have different qualifications and duties. For instance, a seasonal Fire Fighter I has relatively few professional prerequisites. In contrast, attaining the rank of Fire Captain requires significant firefighting experience, including serving for roughly three years as a Fire Apparatus Engineer.
5 Things to Know About NASA’s Tiny Twin Polar Satellites - NASA
But following the interactions between Earth’s surface and atmosphere, such as the amount of cloud cover temporarily effecting the temperature of the area beneath it, requires more frequent measurements. Two satellites in asynchronous near-polar orbits — passing over a given spot on Earth at different times, looking at the same area within hours of each other — could catch some of these shorter-time-scale phenomena.
5. The PREFIRE mission is helping to train the next generation of satellite climate scientists.
NASA developed PREFIRE with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, including team members from the universities of Michigan and Colorado. The mission engages a diverse group of undergraduate and graduate students, who make up a significant portion of the science team.
More About the Mission
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages PREFIRE for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate and provided the spectrometers. Blue Canyon Technologies built the CubeSats and the University of Wisconsin-Madison will process the data the instruments collect. The launch services provider, Rocket Lab USA Inc. of Long Beach, California, will launch both PREFIRE CubeSats from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand.

Robotics Technology at JPL
JPL is, in fact, reinventing the wheel, or at least various wheeled vehicles. The Axel Rover has two wheels and a link that trails behind, and a more recent DuAxel attaches two Axel Rovers to one another. They roll along as a duo until they encounter a steep slope. That's when the two Axels separate, remaining attached only by a tether, while one rolls away to rappel down the slope, then return to its partner. Other two-wheelers include a small, foldable, shoebox-sized robot called A-PUFFER that could someday scour areas of the Moon not accessible to astronauts, and BRUIE, a submersible rover that could eventually explore the subsurface oceans of the solar system’s icy moons.These multiple configurations provide more options for exploring Earth's Moon, Mars, and possibly Europa. And for above-surface exploration, prototype airships are being tested to fly through the atmospheres of Venus and Saturn's moon Titan. Future helicopter designs are being developed, to follow up on the Mars Helicopter carried by the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover.

The 2024-25 Budget: CalFire—Implementation of a 66-Hour Workweek
Second, the provision has very large fiscal effects that are not incurred until after the labor agreement has expired, making it impossible to know the full fiscal effect of the current MOU at the time of legislative ratification. Third, as we discuss in more detail below, the provision specifies that implementation of the policy change is subject to legislative appropriation in the 2024‑25 budget—an explicit acknowledgment of the Legislature’s budget authority and its ability to revisit, modify, or reject the policy in the future. None of these three characteristics are standard of a typical MOU provision. 
Costs of Workweek Change Turning Out to Be Very High. The cost of the administration’s proposed approach to effectuating the 66‑hour workweek change is substantial—$770 million ($756 million from the General Fund) when fully implemented. This proposal would result in a roughly 20 percent increase in CalFire’s budget and staffing levels compared to 2023‑24. (As mentioned previously, total funding and staffing in 2023‑24 already reflect significant increases compared to historical levels.) As noted, only limited information was available on the details and implications of the 66‑hour workweek when the Legislature approved the MOU, so it may not have expected the associated costs to be this high. The 66‑hour workweek change also could create cost pressures for the state that are not reflected in the proposal. Most notably, by significantly increasing the number of firefighters the state employs, the proposal would contribute to the need to build a new CalFire training center, which is estimated to cost roughly $420 million. 
Fiscal Conditions Have Deteriorated Since the Legislature Considered the MOU. When the Legislature considered the Unit 8 MOU in September 2022, the state’s fiscal condition and outlook looked significantly better than they do currently. Specifically, around the time the 2022‑23 budget was enacted, both our office and the administration anticipated the state’s budget would be roughly balanced over the coming years. Since that time, revenue projections have declined precipitously.
