"Große Sorgen" bei der NASA: Voyager 1 sendet weiter Datenmüll
Seit Monaten bekommt die NASA Voyager 1 nicht mehr dazu, sinnvolle Daten zu schicken. Die verbleibenden Optionen werden riskanter, ein Ende scheint möglich.

If you cannot view the #eclipse, #nasa will have English, Spanish, and silent flavors of streaming from 1p EST.
#GeneralRelativity predicted that massive objects like the sun should bend light with their massive gravity. Photos of stars at night versus during an eclipse show this effect.

A scheduled Monday night launch for Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft has been postponed.
Officials scrubbed Monday night’s planned launch attempt at around 8:30PM ET, due to “a faulty oxygen relief valve observation” on the ULA Atlas V rocket’s Centaur second stage. Another launch window is available on Tuesday night, but it’s unclear whether they will be able to reset that quickly

Watch NASA launch its first astronauts aboard the Boeing Starliner at 10:34PM ET
NASA is launching a pair of astronauts aboard the Boeing Starliner for the first time. The astronauts will test the spacecraft during a trip to the International Space Station.

Did you know NASA published a free table top RPG called "The Lost Universe"?
"A dark mystery has settled over the city of Aldastron on the rogue planet of Exlaris. Researchers dedicated to studying the cosmos have disappeared, and the Hubble Space Telescope has vanished from Earth’s timeline. Only an ambitious crew of adventurers can uncover what was lost. Are you up to the challenge?"

«Given the Moon’s weaker gravity (and movement differences between it and Earth), time moves slightly faster there. So an Earth-based clock on the lunar surface would appear to gain an average of 58.7 microseconds per Earth day. As the US and other countries plan Moon missions to research, explore and (eventually) build bases for permanent residence, using a single standard will help them synchronize technology and missions requiring precise timing.»

NASA technology helps guard against lunar dust
Defeating dust may be a small concern for most people on Earth, but for astronauts and spacecraft destined for the moon or Mars, it is a significant hazard that must be mitigated. That's why researchers at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida are seeking innovative ways to use Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) technology.
