Logros de la NASA en la estación espacial en 2023 - NASA
Por primera vez en el espacio, los científicos produjeron un gas cuántico que contenía dos tipos de átomos utilizando el Laboratorio de Átomos Fríos de la estación. Esta nueva capacidad podría permitir a los investigadores estudiar las propiedades cuánticas de los átomos por separado, así como la química cuántica, la cual se centra en investigar de qué manera interactúan y se combinan los diferentes tipos de átomos en un estado cuántico. Esta investigación podría permitir una gama más amplia de experimentos en el Laboratorio de Átomos Fríos, aprovechando esta instalación para desarrollar nuevas tecnologías cuánticas desde el espacio. Las herramientas cuánticas se utilizan en todo, desde los teléfonos móviles hasta dispositivos médicos, y podrían profundizar nuestra comprensión de las leyes fundamentales de la naturaleza.

Las astronautas de la NASA Jasmin Moghbeli y Loral O’Hara posan frente al Laboratorio de Átomos Fríos de la Estación Espacial Internacional.

Monitoreo del cambio climático desde el espacio
El 14 de septiembre de 2023, la NASA anunció que julio de 2023 fue el mes más caluroso registrado desde 1880. La estación espacial está ayudando a monitorear el cambio climático mediante la recopilación de datos con el empleo de diferentes instrumentos de observación de la Tierra montados en su exterior.

El brazo robótico Canadarm2 maniobra el instrumento de Investigación de las Fuentes de Polvo Mineral en la Superficie de la Tierra (EMIT) de la NASA después de sacarlo del compartimiento de carga del cohete Dragon de SpaceX.

Mars Audio Log #10 - NASA
Again, that was the 10th audio log in our series. Tune in for the final two over the next coming months. Check in at nasa.gov for the latest on what’s happening with the CHAPEA crew and nasa.gov/podcasts to check out our show, as well as the many others that we have across the agency. If you want to talk to us on social media, we’re on the Johnson Space Center pages of Facebook, X, and Instagram. And you can use #AskNASA on your favorite platform to submit an idea for the show, just make sure to mention it’s for us at Houston We Have a Podcast.
Recordings were sent in from the CHAPEA crew through April. And we had the conversation with Lauren Blackwell Landon on May 10, 2024.  Thanks to Will Flato, Beth Weisinger, Dane Turner, Abby Graf, Jaden Jennings, Anna Schneider, Laura Sorto, and Kelsey Spivey. Thanks again to Dr. Lauren Blackwell Landon for taking the time to come on the show. Thanks to Grace Douglas and Jennifer Miller for their efforts in reviewing these audio log episodes. And big thanks to Kelly Haston, Ross Brockwell, Nathan Jones and Anca Selariu for sharing their experience for this audience on Houston We Have a Podcast. Give us a rating and feedback on whatever platform you’re listening to and tell us what you think of our podcast. We’ll be back next week.
This is an Official NASA Podcast.

El Experimento contra Incendios en Naves Espaciales IV (Saffire IV, por sus siglas en inglés) marcó la finalización de una serie de experimentos de combustión que ayudaron a los investigadores a comprender los riesgos y comportamientos del fuego en el espacio. Debido a que los experimentos relacionados con las llamas son difíciles de llevar a cabo a bordo de una nave espacial tripulada, el experimento Saffire IV utiliza el vehículo de reabastecimiento no tripulado Cygnus después de su partida de la estación espacial con el fin de poner a prueba la inflamabilidad a diferentes niveles de oxígeno y demostrar las capacidades de detección y monitoreo de incendios.

Una muestra de tela se quema dentro de una nave espacial de carga sin tripulación Cygnus para el experimento Saffire IV.
