NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) has partnered with the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force to select eight schools for the University Nanosatellite Program (UNP) Mission Concepts-1: 2023 Summer Series. Running from May through August, the program provides students with systems engineering training, preparing them to work in the space industry while simultaneously enhancing …
Heart research and space physics topped the microgravity research schedule aboard the International Space Station on Friday. The Expedition 69 crew also continues packing a U.S. cargo craft while gearing up for a series of upcoming spacewalks. A variety of research into microgravity’s affect on the human heart has been ongoing aboard the orbital outpost …
The team has received signal from Intelsat 40e satellite. Commissioning activities for TEMPO will begin in late May or early June. Researchers expect the first public data to be available in October. TEMPO will observe the air quality over North America during daylight hours, providing critical insights into air pollution in North America.
The Falcon 9 rocket's second stage has reached the point of payload separation and its engine has been cut off. Intelsat 40e and the TEMPO instrument will separate from the Falcon 9 rocket's second stage, deploying the spacecraft, which will continue on to its geostationary orbit.
The Falcon 9 rocket's first stage has landed on a SpaceX drone ship. Coming up next, Intelsat 40e, along with the TEMPO instrument, will separate from the Falcon 9 rocket's second stage and begin settling into orbit.
The Falcon 9 rocket's first-stage engines have finished their burn, and the first stage has separated from the vehicle. As the second stage continues its journey with Intelsat 40e and the TEMPO instrument, the first stage will aim for landing on a SpaceX drone ship. The second stage Merlin engine has ignited to begin boosting …
Liftoff! At 12:30 a.m. EDT, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket lifted off the pad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, beginning its approximately hour-long journey to deliver the Intelsat 40e, along with NASA's Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) instrument, into orbit. Coming up at about two minutes and 30 seconds after liftoff, the …
Hello from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida! A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, with the Intelsat 40e and NASA's Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) instrument aboard, stands ready for liftoff at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Complex 40. TEMPO will be the first satellite instrument to make hourly daytime observations of air quality over …
Payloads: Human Research Facility Veggie Profile of Mood States (Veggie POMS): A POMS short form questionnaire was completed using the Data Collection Tool (DCT). The Pick-and-Eat Salad-Crop Productivity, Nutritional Value, and Acceptability to Supplement the ISS Food System (Veggie) investigation is a phased research project that includes Veg-04A, Veg-04B, Veg-05, and HRF Veg including HRF …
