The PLATO mission is scheduled for launch early 2027. In this paper we present an overview of the performance drivers for the mission at the time where all flight models […]
During spaceflight, astronauts are exposed to extreme conditions such as microgravity, cosmic radiation, and confinement, which can cause a wide range of health problems.
NASA astronaut and Expedition 74 Flight Engineer Chris Williams processes microbe samples inside the Destiny laboratory module’s Microgravity Science Glovebox aboard the International Space Station.
Lake Fryxell is located in the McMurdo Dry Valley on the Antarctic mainland. The lake is covered year round with four to five metres of ice, and it has some […]
Keith, Sorry for the quiet—our days have been packed, and out here every usable hour feels borrowed. Since my last report the weather has changed its mind a few times. […]
When, in February March 2026, the massive SLS rocket lifts off from the launch pad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida with four astronauts on board, six chips designed […]
Dale: Hi Keith, We’ve had a productive few days since I last checked in. Yesterday and today we worked on the eastern slopes adjacent to the Anuchin Glacier – Denis […]
Historically the new omnibus ROSES solicitation was released in February but proposals to the programs from the prior year’s ROSES that were rolling submissions (no due date) could be submitted […]
