The new generation of space suits for NASA's upcoming Artemis mission will use advanced technology to safely put astronauts back on the moon. An Ashland resident is on the team. Stephanie Johnston, an engineer for NASA's new space suit, the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU), has been working to improve the sustainability of astronaut safety, life support and mobility for NASA's return to the lunar surface.
Scientists have been left puzzled by a recent odd landscape captured by a satellite in the cold Arctic depths of Siberia, Russia, near the Markha River. The captured image of the landscape shows widespread ripples for which scientists don't seem to have a single specific explanation.
Paris, 1 March 2021. - NASA has selected Astra Space to launch the agency's TROPICS mission, NASA said. TROPICS stands for Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation Structure and Storm Intensity and consists of a constellation of six cubesats that will support scientific studies of storms and storm processes.
CAPE CANAVERAL (CBSMiami) - The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season was one for the record books, and NASA's recently-released time-lapse video captured just how insane it was. As CBS4 Meteorologist Dave Warren noted in his weather year-ender, for just the second time in history, the standard 21 storm names would not be enough.
