Mars Cube One Mission
Mars Audio Log #10 - NASA
But something that is really appreciated by all of the different crew members looking forward to food, looking forward to the ocean. It was interesting to hear, I think Anca was the one who was saying she wanted to actually touch the sand at the beach, but everybody seemed to gravitate towards the ocean, found that very fascinating, just wanting to not only experience nature, but there was something maybe about the ocean, something about water that all the crews seemed to really gravitate towards. So that was really interesting to hear.
Once again, glad to hear that all the crew are doing so well, accounting upwards on their milestones and of course really getting ready to transition outside of the habitat. We’ve been talking with them for so long that I think it’s sometimes easy to forget that they’re not just CHAPEA crew members. They have lives outside of this that of course, they volunteered their time to be able to execute this mission and perform great science for humanity. But of course, they have to prepare for their lives outside of the habitat. I think we’ll certainly miss them. It’s too early to say that right now. I know we still have a couple of audio logs left, but this has been such a pleasure for me to get to check in and I hope for the listeners as well to check in with the crew and really go through their journey. I think this crew did a really good job of taking us along on the journey with them. It’s been a wonderful, wonderful ride.
So now let’s switch gears and we’re going to talk with Dr. Lauren Blackwell Landon on the habitability of the Mars Dune Alpha habitat. Alright, Dr. Lauren Blackwell Landon, thank you so much for coming on Houston We Have a Podcast today.
Lauren Blackwell Landon:  Well, thank you for having me.
Host: You have a very interesting role, habitability of Mars Dune Alpha, but I’m sure just like many of the other special guests we have here, this is really not your only role. So how would you describe your role here at NASA? And I mean aside from CHAPEA, what you do day-to-day?
Lauren Blackwell Landon: Sure.
Mars Audio Log #10 - NASA
So it’s actually exciting. I think we’ll probably be getting a little bit more, you know, excited to be getting towards the end of the mission, but also, you know, excited about having those experiences. Some of those experiences we have here, like the EVAs for the last time too.
Ross Brockwell: Yeah, I’m really looking forward to seeing how we’ve helped, you know, move us forward towards getting to Mars.
Host:  Alright, that was, again, Flight Engineer Ross Brockwell and Medical Officer Nathan Jones, checking in on again, the 10th month inside the habitat. Really inspirational stuff from the two of them. I really latched onto Ross’s thoughts. It seems like something he was thinking about just sort of as he was working was there’s this idea of motivation and doing it now and when’s the right time to do something, but it’s so interesting to hear that there’s this idea of this motivational thoughts, these very positive thoughts coming from the crew, you know, that seem to continue throughout their journey. Again, going back to Kelly and Anca’s audio log about these milestones to look forward to, this positive attitude just seems to seep from this crew. It’s absolutely incredible to hear. Looking forward to the outdoors, looking forward to seeing family. We’ve been hearing a lot from Nathan’s family who has, of course, been checking in, but I think Kelly made it clear in her audio log, and I’m sure it’s true for Anca as well as Ross, that, you know, family serves as a very important role for everybody. Of course, Nathan has been sharing that very, very openly over the audio logs over the past many months. But something that is really appreciated by all of the different crew members looking forward to food, looking forward to the ocean. It was interesting to hear, I think Anca was the one who was saying she wanted to actually touch the sand at the beach, but everybody seemed to gravitate towards the ocean, found that very fascinating, just wanting to not only experience nature, but there was something maybe about the ocean, something about water that all the crews seemed to really gravitate towards.

Architects use pi when designing bridges or buildings with arches; electricians use pi when calculating the conductance of wire; and you might even want to use pi to figure out how much frozen goodness you are getting in your ice cream cone. 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 2022 NASA Pi Day ChallengeThis ninth installment of the NASA Pi Day Challenge includes four brain-busters that get students using pi to measure frost deep within craters on the Moon, estimate the density of Mars’ core, calculate the water output from a dam to assess its potential environmental impact, and find how far a planet-hunting satellite needs to travel to send data back to Earth.Read on to learn more about the science and engineering behind the problems or click the link below to jump right into the challenge.› Take the NASA Pi Day Challenge› Educators, get the lesson here!Lunar LogicNASA’s Lunar Flashlight mission is a small satellite that will seek out signs of frost in deep, permanently shadowed craters around the Moon’s south pole. By sending infrared laser pulses to the surface and measuring how much light is reflected back, scientists can determine which areas of the lunar surface contain frost and which are dry. Knowing the locations of water-ice on the Moon could be key for future crewed missions to the Moon, when water will be a precious resource. In Lunar Logic, students use pi to find out how much surface area Lunar Flashlight will measure with a single pulse from its laser.Core ConundrumSince 2018, the InSight lander has studied the interior of Mars by measuring vibrations from marsquakes and the “wobble” of the planet as it rotates on its axis. Through careful analysis of the data returned from InSight, scientists were able to measure the size of Mars’ liquid core for the first time and estimate its density.
At Work on Mars
Since 1997, JPL-managed spacecraft have been exploring continuously on the ground and in the skies above Mars.What We Learn By Exploring MarsThat reddish planet in our nighttime skies has long intrigued brilliant science fiction writers and enthusiasts. Fortunately, Mars has also attracted great science and technology minds, including many at JPL who help us address tantalizing questions through an ongoing, focused series of Mars missions.Those missions have already revealed strong evidence that some areas once had conditions suitable for life. Knowing that Mars was habitable, the question becomes: Was it ever inhabited? And if so, is life still there today, perhaps in polar ice or deep underground? The early Mars climate was more Earth-like. What changed so dramatically? Mars still has a rock record of that ancient climate on its surface, providing key clues to a part of planetary history largely erased from our own planet. So, what can we learn from Mars about our own planet’s history and future?Among other things, we may be able to answer some questions about the origin and evolution of life, and how climates change. What we learn will also help pave the way for future human explorers to Mars, the closest habitable word to our own.

The Mars Rovers: Sojourner | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
The rushing water of a flood would have pushed lots of rocks and dirt into one place. This means the rover could study lots of different types of rocks without traveling very far.Engineers also liked the area because it seemed like a flat, safe place for Sojourner to land.

As Sojourner drove short distances, it used its camera to take pictures of the Martian landscape. It sent back more than 550 pictures of the Red Planet. The rover used instruments to study what the nearby Martian rocks and dirt were made of. Its lander also collected information about winds and other weather factors on Mars.

From far away, Mars looks cold, dry, and rocky. But Sojourner's photos and information told a much different story. We learned that a long time ago, Mars used to be a warmer and wetter place.

2001 Budget Analysis:State Water Resources 
board to the regional boards to provide for efficient and consistent TMDL development.
For example, in budget proposals submitted to the Legislature, the board anticipated completing 18 to 20 TMDLs in 1999-00 with resources of about
$6.9 million. In fact, the board completed only three. While the SWRCB's budget for TMDLs is based on work plans of the nine regional boards, the regional
boards have generally failed to meet the work plan commitments. The board is also lagging in completing TMDLs according to schedules found in its annual
grant commitments to U.S. EPA. At the current pace, it is highly unlikely that the board will complete all TMDLs within the U.S. EPA time frame that TMDLs
be completed by 2011 for all water bodies on the 1998 list.
Finally, court settlements dictate a schedule for the development of about 700 TMDLs. The board also appears to be lagging in completing TMDLs subject to
these schedules. For example, U.S. EPA has had to step in to develop some TMDLs itself, rather than the state, to ensure compliance with these time schedules.
Consequences of Lagging Behind. Our review finds that there are a number of potential consequences if the state does not pick up the pace of TMDL
development. These include:

Water Quality Impairment. Water quality continues to deteriorate until TMDLs are developed and implemented. 
A Greater Federal Role That May Not Be to State's Benefit. There is the possibility of additional court-supervised schedules if the state continues to lag in
developing TMDLs. This could result in U.S. EPA stepping in to develop TMDLs. The U.S. EPA-developed TMDLs typically involve much less public
participation and local input than those developed by the state. Accordingly, the state runs the risk of losing control over addressing its water quality
problems. 
A Reduction in Federal Funds. According to U.S. EPA, federal funds for TMDLs that might otherwise be made available to California this coming year

But each is a little bit different, and you can kind of look at all of them together to try to understand crew health and performance. And one point, I do want to make about teams research, you might hear about it all the time. So we’re doing a series of podcasts, right, about CHAPEA, but that’s one team for an entire year. So we’ve spent a lot of resources, a lot of planning, years of planning, to get just this one team’s data point. So you might hear about a lot of things that are going on, but it takes years of research to even get a few teams on this Mars like mission.
Host: Yeah. But of course, it seems like there’s more analogs and I think it just proves that there’s so much more to learn, right? It’s not like you just do one analog and you stop. It just seems like these, you continue to learn new things as you do more analogs, right?
Lauren Blackwell Landon: Yeah. We’ve learned a lot about teams and Mars teams specifically through analogs, but often the studies from the various research teams are sort of siloed from each other. So we’ll have a bunch of teams go into HERA, but they’re not integrating their studies that that much really. And so a very few missions have also been these long multi-month missions. So I really want to give kudos to Grace Douglas who’s the CHAPE PI (Principle Investigator). You know, she really pushed for this yearlong mission, it’s 378 days, and took a very new approach of integrating across all the different studies, all the different fields from the very beginning. And so that deep integration, really including all the teams research that I’m really excited about and we have this really high EVA workload that these folks are going to be doing that’s really new. It’s really going to give us valuable data at the end of this.
One of my goals really is to get teams research, which is very behaviorally based, kind of traditionally in the literature. I wanted to integrate more with the physiological side of things.

The Mars Rovers: Sojourner

The Short Answer:
What is the Sojourner rover?

	Sojourner is a rover that landed on Mars in 1997 in a location called Ares Vallis where it explored and took many photos.
	

In 1997, NASA scientists did something pretty amazing. For the first time, they used a small wheeled robot to study the surface of Mars. This robotic explorer, called a rover, was named Sojourner. It was only about the size of a microwave oven. However, it went on to share lots of important new information with scientists.

Sojourner wasn’t alone on its journey to Mars. It traveled within a spacecraft called a lander. The lander was shaped like a pyramid and was covered in airbags. The airbags helped the lander have a safe, bouncy landing. The pyramid shape helped ensure the lander and rover could be flipped right-side-up, no matter how they landed. After the lander touched down on Mars, a panel opened and Sojourner rolled out to start exploring.

The rover explored an area of Mars near its landing site called Ares Vallis. Scientists were interested in this area because it looked like the site of an ancient flood. The rushing water of a flood would have pushed lots of rocks and dirt into one place. This means the rover could study lots of different types of rocks without traveling very far.Engineers also liked the area because it seemed like a flat, safe place for Sojourner to land.
