Is the NASA Advisory Council (NAC) system becoming unglued? During the NAC Science Committee meeting on March 21st, there were significant questions about the Primary NAC and its ability to deliver recommendations to NASA's leadership expeditiously so they can be acted upon by NASA Leadership. That wasn't the only thing on the minds of NASA's scientists and advisors. The Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory are profoundly impacted by NASA's austere FY 24 and FY 25 budget constraints, and one of the two missions may face cancellation. Also, the significant demands placed on NASA's Deep Space Network were of major concern. We report on what was said and offer analysis.   The Intuitive Machines IM-1 mission was officially declared completed when, as predicted, the robotic Odysseus lunar lander did not respond to a "wake-up" call on March 23rd. Larry Herrin and Mark Ratterman talked with Chantelle Baier, CEO of 4Space, who facilitated one of the commercial payloads on the IM-1 mission, to wrap up her experiences on the flight and discuss future endeavors. See Jeff Koons Moon Phases web site to explore the details of his art, exploring themes of connectivity and acceptance. NASA extended its call for new astronaut applications through April 16th and Mark Ratterman highlights what the US Army is doing to encourage applicants in its ranks.  After the joint Boeing Space/NASA press conferences last week highlighting the upcoming first crewed flight test of the CST 100 Starliner, some words were put out on social media by some prominent individuals in space advocacy berating Boeing Space. In a commentary, Gene Mikulka poses a question: Can't we wish Butch Wilmore and Sunni Williams well and forget about wearing our corporate t-shirts for a little while? Finally, Space exploration lost two giants this past week, and we look back on the lives and contributions of former astronaut General Thomas P. Stafford and former Johnson Spaceflight Center Director  George W.S. Abbey.  All this and more, on this episode of Talking Space! Host: Larry Herrin Panel Members: Gene Mikulka &  Mark Ratterman - Dr. Kat Robison and Sawyer Rosenstein will return.

We'll see how this looks/feels—please let me know if there's any weirdness or undesirable side-effects on your end.UN warns that hundreds of thousands in Southeast Asia have been roped into online scamsSummary: The UN human rights office has released a report indicating that at least 120,000 people in Myanmar and about 100,000 in Cambodia have been forced into conducting online scams by criminal gangs.Context: These gangs seem to be targeting migrants and often lure their victims with false recruitment communications, implying that they would be hired for real jobs, only to then lock them into scam-related labor, preventing them from leaving through use of torture, sexual violence, detention, and other sorts of coercion; this parallels international concerns related to so-called “pig butchering” schemes where victims are fleeced by (often, but not exclusively) supposed women on dating and social media sites, but these supposed women are actually men and women being held against their will by gangs, forcing them to conduct these sorts of grifts; in June, 2,700 of these forced workers were rescued in the Philippines, and the Philippines, Thailand, and Laos have been flagged as other destinations or transit sites for people being trafficked in this way.—The Associated PressOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

The full Moon scoots low across the south tonight, shining on us from Libra, the balance scales. A couple of years ago, astronomers snapped the sharpest pictures of the Moon ever taken from Earth. They showed details as small as a few feet across — shot with radar. The images were a demo for a project to develop the most powerful planetary radar system ever. Astronomers have been using radar for six decades. It told them how fast Venus turns on its axis and revealed ice at the poles of the planet Mercury. It's also tracked some asteroids that could one day threaten Earth. The most powerful radar used the giant Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico. But it collapsed a couple of years ago. NASA's Deep Space Network does some of the work, too. But its main job of tracking missions across the solar system keeps it busier and busier. So astronomers built a transmitter that used less power than a microwave oven to beam radio waves from the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. A network of other antennas caught the reflections. The demo produced the images of the Moon and tracked an asteroid that was more than five times farther than the Moon. Now, astronomers want to make the system a thousand times more powerful. That would let them map other planets and moons, discover hazardous asteroids at much greater distances, and track junk around Earth and the Moon — making the space around our planet a little bit safer.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Finding community within science can be a challenge. In this week's episode, both of our storytellers struggle with feeling out of place in science. Part 1: After his mentor and chemistry teacher uncle is murdered, André Isaacs feels adrift. Part 2: Engineer Joey Jefferson doesn't feel like he belongs in science as a black bisexual man. A native of Jamaica, André Isaacs moved to the US to attend the College of the Holy Cross where he received his B.A. in Chemistry in 2005. He received his PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 2011 and then worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2012, Andre accepted a tenure-track position at the College of the Holy Cross. In 2018, Andre was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor with tenure. In addition to teaching courses in Organic Chemistry, Andre conducts research utilizing copper-mediated organic transformations. He is one of the members of Outfront - the college's LGBTQ faculty and staff alliance and serves as faculty advisor to a number of campus student groups. Joey Jefferson is a flight systems engineer at JPL operating the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) and NEOWISE spacecrafts. Prior to his current position, he worked with NASA and foreign space agencies conceptualizing, negotiating, implementing and monitoring their antenna strategies over the Deep Space Network.

Brian Cox and Robin Ince visit Canberra for the first of 4 special episodes recorded in Australia. This week they visit the amazing Canberra Deep Space Communication Centre where scientists communicate with, and track the 200 or so spacecraft that are currently exploring our vast solar system and even beyond. They are joined by Astrophysicists Mark Cheung and Alan Duffy, Nobel prize winner Brian Schmidt and comedian Alice Fraser as they track legendary space craft like Voyager, still sending back messages from deep in space some 40 plus years after it first launched. They discover how despite these incredible missions we still don't know what 97% of our universe is made of, and how so many of these explorations are vital to our understanding of one very important planet - our own.

On this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, we're going to space! I'm thrilled have Jono Luk, VP of Product Management for Webex as my guest and we're going to talk about space exploration and how collaboration and voice technology are starting to play an increasingly important role in space exploration. First, some background. Orion is the most advanced spacecraft ever developed to carry astronauts to the moon. What's exciting is that voice activation and collaboration technology can take it to the next level by enabling interactive computer systems to become ready for the next gen of explorers. Orion's uncrewed Artemis 1 mission is a tech demonstration developed through Lockheed Martin's reimbursable space act agreement with NASA, and Lockheed Martin has partnered with Cisco and Amazon to bring Webex video collaboration and Amazon's Alexa digital assistant on board during Orion's first flight test in deep space, called the Callisto project. While Jono's official focus at Webex is on leading Contact Center and the Admin, Security Data, and Shared Experiences Project Management teams at Webex, when he had the chance to be  a part of the Callisto project, he jumped at it, and who wouldn't? I would say that it's not a stretch at all that a project focused on how commercial tech can be a part of the future of deep space exploration and assist future astronauts on deep space missions fits nicely under “shared experiences” category. Our conversation today covered the following: The goal of the Callisto Tech Demo project, which is to demonstrate how astronauts and flight controllers can use human-machine interface tech to make their jobs simpler, safer, and more efficient, and also advance human exploration in deep space. Jono took us on a walk through how the tech works, connecting through NASA's Deep Space Network, and a local database that's located on board the spacecraft to communicate with Webex and Alexa. How the hardware was hardened to protect it for the radiation environment on Orion's deep space journey. Jono shared some of the challenges the team working on this project had to overcome, as well as some things they learned along that way that were unexpected. Why Cisco is uniquely positioned to be the partner with Lockheed Martin and part of the Callisto Tech Demo project along with Amazon, and what this means for use cases beyond simply deep space. This was incredibly exciting, and I'm thrilled to have been invited to be a part of Callisto Tech Demo and experience firsthand the realities of bringing video and voice collaboration tech — to deep space as well as to other remote places in the world, and the benefits that we can reap as a result.

When a giant radio dish entered service with NASA in 1994, its main job was to track SOHO, a spacecraft that watches the Sun. Today, one of its main jobs is to study the Sun itself. It's the centerpiece of GAVRT — Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope — a project that's turned control of the telescope over to students. The 112-foot dish is in the Mojave Desert. It's part of NASA's Deep Space Network, which stays in touch with spacecraft throughout the solar system and beyond. Network antennas are also used as radio telescopes. And that's the full-time job of this antenna. It retired from the spacecraft-tracking business years ago. It took over for another antenna that had been used for GAVRT. Today, students around the country, from elementary through high school, help select its targets, move the dish, gather data, and analyze the results. There are several main projects for GAVRT. One of them is studying the Sun. The observations can help determine how the Sun generates space weather — interactions between the Sun and Earth's magnetic field. Space weather can knock out satellites, shut down power grids, and cause other problems. Other projects monitor the radio waves produced by jets of particles shooting away from black holes; study the magnetic field of Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet; and even listen for radio signals from other civilizations — big science from a “retired” radio dish.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Badri Younes says that a spacecraft that can't communicate or find its way is worthless. He leads SCaN, NASA's Space Communications and Navigation program, which manages resources like the agency's Deep Space Network. SCaN is also preparing for a future that relies on optical communication and possibly even quantum computing. Younes takes us on an audio tour of SCaN's work that extends beyond our solar system.  There's more to explore at https://www.planetary.org/planetary-radio/2021-badri-younes-nasa-scan See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
