NASA's Space Launch System Faces Uncertain Future Under Trump Administration Hey, remember when the SLS rocket absolutely nailed that Artemis I mission back in 2022? Makes you wonder why they'd even think about canceling such a successful program now, right? The future of NASA's most powerful rocket hangs in the balance following Donald Trump's recent electoral victory. The Space Launch System (SLS), a cornerstone of America's ambitious return to the Moon, faces potential cancellation according to space industry insiders. The US space journalist Eric Berger recently posted on X: "To be clear we are far from anything being settled, but based on what I'm hearing it seems at least 50-50 that Nasa's Space Launch System rocket will be cancelled." The SLS rocket serves as the primary launch vehicle for NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo era ended in 1972. This massive rocket has demonstrated its capabilities through successful testing, including the unmanned Artemis I mission in 2022. The completed Artemis III mission would mark humanity's return to the lunar surface, with plans to land the first woman and person of color on the Moon. The current mission architecture for Artemis III involves a carefully choreographed sequence of events. Four astronauts will launch aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft, carried by the SLS rocket, into lunar orbit. Upon reaching lunar orbit, two crew members will transfer to SpaceX's Starship vehicle, which will have launched separately, to make the descent to the Moon's surface. After completing their lunar exploration, these astronauts will return to orbit in Starship, rejoin their colleagues in Orion, and make the journey back to Earth. Technical challenges have pushed the timeline for the first crewed lunar landing to Autumn 2026, considerably later than initially planned. Various factors contribute to these delays, including necessary redesigns of astronaut spacesuits, complications with Orion's heat shield and life support systems, and ongoing development issues with SpaceX's Starship lunar lander. Additionally, the upgraded mobile launch tower for the SLS has experienced both cost overruns and schedule delays. China's space program has announced plans to send its own astronauts to the lunar surface by 2030, adding a competitive element to the timeline. Chinese space missions typically maintain conservative scheduling estimates, suggesting their projected timeline may be more reliable than American estimates. This development has created pressure on NASA to maintain its schedule and technological edge in space exploration.

Seit Menschen ins All fliegen, müssen sie sich mit dem Thema Strahlung auseinandersetzen. Diese kann für den Körper sehr gefährlich sein. Deswegen untersucht man schon seit langem die Strahlenexposition im All und die Auswirkungen. Messungen der Strahlungen finden bei robotischen Missionen statt, aber auch an Bord der Internationalen Raumstation ISS. Auf dem Flug von Artemis I zum Mond und zurück war ein großes Experiment zur Strahlenmessung mit an Bord. Es heißt MARE, kurz für "MATROSHKA AstroRad Radiation Experiment". Ich sprach mit Dr. Thomas Berger vom Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt über Strahlung, über Messmethoden und Experimente.

In this Better Satellite World podcast series, we ask the question: “What would you do if you had the power to make the world a better place during your career?” Joining SSPI's Lou Zacharilla to answer that question in the sixth episode are 3 members of the “20 Under 35” cohort of 2023: Christian Keil, Chief of Staff at Astranis, Sapna Rao, Senior Systems Engineer at Lockheed Martin and Glory Sikka, Technical Program Manager at Maxar. Christian Keil is the Chief of Staff at Astranis, a manufacturer and operator of MicroGEO communications satellites. He leads both the marketing team and the regulatory team, roles in which he is the primary interface between Astranis and the outside world — whether heads of international regulatory agencies or fans on Twitter. After joining Astranis as its third businessperson, Christian played a pivotal role in scaling the company to over 300 employees and a $1.6 billion valuation. Over nearly five years, he has helped by establishing the company's back-end business systems (finance, recruiting, HR, etc.), designing the company's first website, writing the company's first onboarding guide and securing the company's first MOUs from the Department of Defense. Sapna Rao is a Senior Systems Engineer at Lockheed Martin. She joined the company in 2018 after graduating from the Virginia Tech College of Engineering with a degree in Aerospace Engineering and completing an Aerospace Engineering internship with Lockheed Martin. Sapna quickly became integral to many Lockheed Martin initiatives, playing an active role as a Software Systems Engineer, Systems Engineer and Mission Operations Developer on significant programs including Artemis I, Artemis II, the Human Landing System, and the Cryogenic Demonstration Mission. She currently serves as the lead for developing customers and partners from industry and academia to participate in Lockheed Martin's Lunar Mobile Vehicle project. Sapna is also the technical lead for Project Agni, a machine learning and artificial intelligence tool that can detect wildfires using lightning and weather data. She is also leading the generation of mission operations sequences for the Cryogenic Demonstration Mission. This mission is proving out the technology for transferring liquid hydrogen in orbit demonstrating refueling in space. This capability will enable future deep space exploration to Mars and beyond. Glory Sikka is the Deputy Technical Program Manager for NASA's Space Infrastructure Dexterous Robot (SPIDER) project at Maxar. She joined the company in 2018 as a Lead Systems Engineer for the project. SPIDER is an ambitious and complex mission demonstrating a brand-new robotic arm system for in-space assembly of spacecraft. Glory's team is responsible for the end-to-end system, which includes end-over-end walking capability, robot control avionics, situational awareness software, operations console, a precision in-space assembled Ka-band antenna and an in-space manufactured composite antenna boom. She was promoted to her current position in 2021 and is one of the youngest employees to ever reach that level of seniority at the company. Before joining Maxar, Glory spent two years as a Systems Engineer performing robotic maintenance activities on nuclear reactors for the MDA Corporation. She made many training and tool upgrades and improvements while at the company, resulting in greater up-time and reduced risk during maintenance operations. Glory began her career at Solar Ship, where she conducted design, modelling, experimental testing and data analysis for a next-generation airship.

Hey smarties! We're on a break for the holidays and revisiting some of our top episodes from 2023. We can't do this show without you and we still need your support. If you can, donate today to keep independent journalism going strong into 2024 and beyond. Give now to support Make Me Smart. Thank you so much for your generosity, happy holidays and we'll see you in the new year. Today, we’re talking about two topics near and dear to our hearts: space and economics. Over the last several years, NASA’s Artemis program and the commercialization of space have given rise to a large and growing space economy. How large? “It’s about $400 billion. By 2030 it is estimated to become about $1 trillion,” said Namrata Goswami, a scholar on space policy and co-author of the book “Scramble for the Skies: The Great Power Competition to Control the Resources of Outer Space.” “We also include a space economy to come in the next 20 to 30 years which includes the ‘in-space economy,’ so the economy that would be developed in space itself, which would result in a trillion-dollar economy by 2040.” On the show, Goswami explains the state of the space economy, how the space industry has evolved, and the need for updated international space regulations if we’re really serious about going to Mars. Plus, why retiring on the moon in Kimberly’s lifetime might not be such a far-fetched idea. In the News Fix: In the first few months of the year, the largest U.S. banks wrote off billions of dollars in bad consumer loans. While not unusual, it could it be a sign of a slowing economy. And could we be nearing the end of the barcode as we know it? Later, listeners share the many ways they use ChatGPT. And this week’s answer to the Make Me Smart question got us thinking about the images (or lack thereof) in our heads. Note: Fox News reached a settlement in the defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems after this show was recorded. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Among the goals of Artemis I: launching the lunar economy” from Marketplace “The Commercial Space Age Is Here” from Harvard Business Review “QR-style ‘2D barcodes’ will revolutionize retail as we know it” from Axios “Fox News, Dominion reach settlement” from The Washington Post “Fox News and Dominion reach a settlement” from NBC News “Biggest US banks write off $3.4 billion in bad consumer loans” from Bloomberg “More US consumers are falling behind on payments” from Reuters Got a question for our hosts?

NASA is planning to launch a massive new rocket as part of the Artemis I mission to fly around the moon. Earlier this year, we talked to engineers Nate Perkins and Doug Bradley from Aerojet-Rocketdyne about the engines for that rocket. Although the rocket is new, NASA is reusing the same RS-25 engines that once powered the Space Shuttle. (In fact, two of the engines on Artemis I actually flew on Endeavour!) But since the rocket for Artemis won't be reusable like the Shuttle, its engines will have to be replaced for future missions. The engineers at Aerojet-Rocketdyne have gotten pretty creative coming up with efficient, cost-effective ways to build new engines…Ever wonder if you can 3D print a rocket engine?In this short, Nate tells us how he is using 3D printing to build the RS-25 engines more cheaply and quickly than during the past Shuttle Program.

Today, we’re talking about two topics near and dear to our hearts: space and economics. Over the last several years, NASA’s Artemis program and the commercialization of space have given rise to a large and growing space economy estimated at $400 billion. We’ll talk with Namrata Goswami, co-author of “Scramble for the Skies: The Great Power Competition to Control the Resources of Outer Space,” about the state and evolution of the space economy. In the News Fix: Are we seeing signs of a slowing economy? And bye-bye barcodes. Then, this week’s answer to the Make Me Smart question sent Kimberly down a rabbit hole. Note: Fox News reached a settlement in the defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems after this show was recorded. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Among the goals of Artemis I: launching the lunar economy” from Marketplace “The Commercial Space Age Is Here” from Harvard Business Review “QR-style ‘2D barcodes’ will revolutionize retail as we know it” from Axios “Fox News, Dominion reach settlement” from The Washington Post “Fox News and Dominion reach a settlement” from NBC News “Biggest US banks write off $3.4 billion in bad consumer loans” from Bloomberg “More US consumers are falling behind on payments” from Reuters “Make Me Smart” has been nominated for a Webby Award! We are honored, but we can't win without your support. You can vote for “Make Me Smart” until Thursday by going to marketplace.org/votemms.

Jeremy Graeber, the assistant launch director at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, joins us to recount his experience on the night of Artemis I's historic launch. We celebrate the success of the mission and share a short segment about The Planetary Society's new Space Life Goals list. Bruce Betts pops in to share more about this week in space history and what to keep an eye out for in the night sky in this week's What's Up.

Welcome one and all to the first-ever episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's new conversational podcast. For each episode, Colin and Dagan are joined by two random guests from LSM's orbit to discuss four random topics, and this time around we're pleased to be joined by the other two-thirds of Sacred Symbols: Chris Ray Gun and Dustin Furman. Dustin wants to discuss the vaunted New Years Resolution with an eye towards whether they serve any function at all. Chris was recently captured by Netflix's docuseries Ancient Apocalypse, and wonders if an Ice Age-era civilization predates all we know about our past. Colin is amped about NASA's successful Artemis I launch, and sells the crew on why a return to the moon is a great thing (if not inevitable). And finally, Dagan considers the likelihood that we've all missed-out on discovering some of our truest talents, a sign of the rapidly passing years and our inability to manage our infinite potential.

NASA launched Artemis I, the James Webb Space Telescope is already sending back phenomenal astronomical images, and Russia's hostilities in Ukraine force massive changes. Plus we learn about advancements in fusion, quantum computing and more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A Look Back At The Top Science Stories of 2022 2022 was chock full of big science news. Scientists announced an important milestone toward the feasibility of nuclear fusion. Doctors transplanted a pig heart into a human for the very first time. And NASA returned to the moon with the successful launch of the Artemis I mission. Ira recaps the year in science news with Tim Revell, deputy United States editor of New Scientist, including what the James Webb Space telescope has taught us about our universe, the significance of ChatGPT on the future of artificial intelligence, the spread of Mpox, and more. How The Humble Beaver Shaped A Continent The American beaver, Castor canadensis, nearly didn't survive European colonialism in the United States. Prized for its dense, lustrous fur, and also sought after for the oil from its tail glands, the species was killed by the tens of thousands, year after year, until conservation efforts in the late 19th century turned the tide. In her new book, Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America, author Leila Philipp tells that tale—and the ecological cost of this near-extermination. But she also has good news: beavers, and their skillful engineering of waterways, have the potential to ease the fire, drought and floods of a changing climate. She talks to Ira about the powerful footprint of the humble beaver. This book is the SciFri Book Club's January 2023 pick. Find out more about our book club on this month's main page. In A New Hampshire Town, It's Snowmobilers Vs. Beavers On a Saturday afternoon walk, Kelly Schofield and her husband turned a corner onto a road near their house in Bow. They sensed something was wrong with the beaver pond before they saw it. “You could smell it. It was pretty strong. And then when we got down to the pond where you could really see the pond, you could see it was gone,” she said.The pond was drained. Left behind was a huge tract of mud, and creatures trying to survive. Neighbors took videos of fish floundering as the water receded. Beavers are beloved by some and considered a nuisance by many. But Schofield and others who lived on the pond agreed: nature's engineers made their property more valuable, and made their lives better. They took their kids down to the water to learn about frogs and turtles; watched ducks stop by as they migrated south. Read the rest at sciencefriday.com. How Science Can Keep Your Christmas Tree Merry And Bright Nothing beats the smell of a live Christmas tree in your home, but how can you keep the needles on your tree and off your carpet?

Splashdown! Artemis I has returned home. Webb has made its first Deep Field survey. Listen to the sound of a dust devil on Mars. Space journalist is going to the Moon.
It's been 50 years since humans set foot on the Moon. Entire generations were born after this historic accomplishment. But humanity has kept its eyes on the sky and vowed to return. This week marks the end of the beginning of that journey, the completion of Artemis I, sending a human-rated capsule around the Moon and back again. With Orion safely back on Earth, let's look back at this amazing accomplishment and ponder what comes next.
Since the Cold War era, the United States has worked to build the world's most advanced stealth aircraft, which produced the famous U2 spyplane, the SR-71, the B2 bomber, and most recently, the Air Force's impressive B-21 Raider, the world's first sixth-generation-aircraft. However, for decades there have been rumors about other aircraft that have been designed at Lockheed's legendary Skunk Works facility. Did programs like the mysterious and long-rumored "Aurora" actually exist? And could Lockheed engineers like the famous Kelly Johnson have even been inspired to build such stealth planes after he and several employees observed a genuine UFO?

NASA next week plans to launch the first of several Artemis missions, which collectively aim to land astronauts on the Moon again for the first time in more than half a century, explore the lunar surface more extensively, and establish a long-term presence on the Moon. Controversy lingers over both the launch system selected for these missions and the next step of human spaceflight to Mars.This week on Chatter, David Priess spoke with science journalist Fraser Cain, publisher of Universe Today and co-host of Astronomy Cast, about why exploring the Moon matters, what to expect from the launch and voyage of Artemis-I, and the challenges of missions to Mars. They also chatted about international space competition vs. cooperation during the Cold War and now, NASA's rollout of initial images from the James Webb Space Telescope, space-based threats ranging from gamma ray bursts and rogue black holes to near-Earth objects and coronal mass ejections, Cain's evolution in communicating science both online and through podcasts, the downward spiral of engaging conspiracy theorists, frustrations with popular culture's association of unidentified aerial phenomena with "aliens," and the interaction of science fiction and real-world space exploration.Chatter is a production of Lawfare and Goat Rodeo.

Stunning JWST Images Show New Details Of The Universe After many delays, a Christmas launch, and a months-long period of travel and testing, the first science images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) were unveiled this week. The JWST has a huge multi-segmented mirror that allows it to gather faint light—and it sees in the infrared, allowing it to see through dust and gas and reveal details about the universe that were previously unseeable. On Monday, a short ceremony at the White House unveiled the first image, a “deep field” image taken by staring for hours at a piece of sky the size of a grain of sand held at arm's length. The image shows thousands of galaxies, including ones so distant that their images have been warped by the gravitational lensing effect of massive objects in between. On Tuesday, four more images were unveiled, including a spectrograph describing the atmosphere of a distant exoplanet, a cluster of galaxies known as Stephan's Quintet, the dying stars of the Southern Ring Nebula, and the star formation region known as the Carina Nebula. Amber Straughn, an astrophysicist and deputy project scientist for James Webb Space Telescope Science Communications joins Ira to talk about the images, and what lies ahead now that the JWST has entered its operational phase. To compare the JWST images side-by-side with the Hubble images of the same subjects, visit www.sciencefriday.com. A Busy Time For Space Launches While much of the astronomical world was gazing at the first science images from the James Webb Space Telescope, there's been a lot of other space news to discuss—from launches and testing associated with the Artemis I mission to the moon to new data from the Martian rovers. There's also big news with commercial space flights, and even plans from some commercial vendors to work on a replacement for the aging International Space Station. Ira talks with Brendan Byrne, space reporter from WMFE and host of podcast “Are We There Yet?”, along with planetary scientist Matthew Siegler, about recent solar system news, and space events to keep an eye on in the months ahead. U.S. Attempts To Catch Up With Rising Monkeypox Cases The outbreak of the orthopox virus currently known as monkeypox continues to spread in hotspots around the United States, with symptoms ranging from fever to intensely painful, contagious lesions. From five cases in late May, the known number has grown to at least 1,053 as of Wednesday afternoon, with epicenters including New York City, the Bay Area, Chicago, Washington D.C., and other major cities. But the current numbers most certainly are an undercount, as people seeking diagnosis report difficulty accessing tests. Meanwhile, the rollout of the existing monkeypox vaccine, Jynneos, remains slow and inadequate for demand, with more than a million doses still stuck in a stockpile in Denmark. So far, the virus, which is known to spread through respiratory droplets and skin-to-skin contact, has been detected predominantly in men who have sex with men. New York public health researcher Keletso Makofane and San Francisco AIDS Foundation CEO Tyler TerMeer speak to the frustration of LGBTQ men and nonbinary people in the most at-risk networks, as resources and response lag. And Ira talks to UCLA monkeypox researcher Anne Rimoin, who twelve years ago published a warning that cases were rising in African countries as immunity to the related smallpox virus waned. He also speaks with Brown University epidemiologist Jennifer Nuzzo about the outlook for global and domestic containment, and the pressing need for more data. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
