Podcast appearances and mentions of orion spacecraft

Unless you've been living under a big red Martian rock, you've likely heard that NASA's Mars Sample Return mission is in trouble. The robotic program has its roots in the 1960s, when NASA started thinking about sending robots to fetch Mars soil even before Mariner 4's first flyby of the planet. The Russians pondered it as well, as the Chinese and Japanese are today. The problem? It's really hard, with multiple spacecraft, possibly on different launches, rendezvousing around the Red Planet to accomplish. And then there are the concerns about the safety of returning possible pathogens to Earth (that said, I could use an extra tentacle). But the showstopper, as usual, is cost—and NASA's not happy. We invited the original Space Ace reporter, Leonard David, to join the discussion. Headlines: NASA gives green light to Dragonfly, a nuclear-powered helicopter mission to Saturn's moon Titan, set to launch in 2028 and arrive in 2034 New images from the Perseverance rover reveal the crash site of the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars, showing scattered debris and broken rotor blades NASA continues to study the Orion spacecraft's heat shield, which experienced more erosion than expected during the Artemis 1 mission, raising concerns for future crewed missions Main Topic: Mars Sample Return Mission Leonard David expresses frustration with NASA's recent announcement of significant cost increases and delays for the Mars Sample Return mission NASA Administrator Bill Nelson stated that the current estimated cost of $11 billion is too high and called for innovative ideas from industry and academia to reduce costs and accelerate the timeline They discuss the scientific importance of returning Martian samples to Earth but question whether the current approach is the most effective way to search for life on Mars Leonard suggests that advancements in miniaturized instruments could allow for more comprehensive life detection experiments directly on the Martian surface, reducing the need for sample return The conversation touches on the potential for international collaboration and competition in Mars exploration, with China, Japan, and Russia planning their own missions Rod highlights the critical role of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Mars exploration and expresses concern about the potential loss of expertise if the MSR mission is scaled back or cancelled The TWiS crew concludes by emphasizing the need for a clear, sustainable strategy for Mars exploration that balances scientific objectives, technological capabilities, and budgetary realities Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Leonard David Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

On today's show we're getting an inside look at the design, testing and manufacturing processes at Honeybee Robotics, as they build a key component for the Orion Spacecraft, and a new lunar drill.Don your bunny suits, because we are excited to bring you inside a clean-room and experience first-hand how space hardware is made from prototype through manufacturing! Tune in to hear from Andrew Maurer and Isabel King of Honeybee, as we get a behind the scenes tour at their production facility in Longmont, CO. THIS is going to be cool!We've explored the Artemis program on the show before, if you missed those episodes go back and give a listen to episode 10 to hear from an Orion spacecraft engineer, and episode 21 as we compare Apollo and Artemis with former NASA Astronaut Harrison Schmitt, and historian Dr. Teasel Harmony-Muir. Key Takeaways: The Artemis Project aims to land near the southern pole of the Moon so that we can investigate and bring back samples of lunar ice. We can then test it and see how it got there and if it's drinkable!  Orion is the name of the spacecraft that will take astronauts to space, and Artemis is the name of the overall mission.  Honeybee's products are rigorously tested before being sent to NASA. Vibration, thermal, and human testing are just a few that help ensure safety and efficiency. They even have astronauts test and give their input!  The lunar drill that Honeybee is creating will enable astronauts to drill about 3 meters into the Lunar Surface and collect several rock and ice samples.

On this episode, we share our first thoughts after the Artemis 2 crew has been selected! x3 NASA Astronauts and x1 Canadian Space Agency Astronaut. These four individuals will orbit the moon with the Orion Spacecraft and test all the human rated systems and prepare for Artemis 3 where the first person of color and first woman will step foot on the Moon. We also breakdown what the Artemis Program is and what kinds of technology are needed to bring us to the Moon, and eventually to Mars (so a great episode if you are just catching up on what NASA is doing!) Big Quesions/Thoughts for this episode: How will this crew of four change the future for Humanity as we return to the Moon to stay, and work our way to Mars? Who chose these Astronauts for Artemis 2? What was their thought process? Does NASA have a "marketing" or message problem? Does NASA appear more unified in its goal than it has been in the last decade? Who are my favorite Astronauts in the Artemis Team? Who are my picks for Artemis 3 moon landing? We also share our first thoughts on this momentus occassion and the beginning of a new era in Human Spaceflight! We'd love to know your thoughts and questions!

This podcast is about big ideas on how technology is making life better for people with vision loss. Lots of people have voice-controlled smart home assistants like Siri, Google, or Alexa in their homes…. to listen to the news or to set timers. But they can do so much more! David Frerichs, Principal Engineer, Alexa Experience at Amazon on the aging and accessibility team, shares his design philosophy for making voice assistants more inclusive, and the preferred mode of engagement for every user. He also shares that the next stage of smart home assistants will be ambient computing, where your devices will intuit your needs without you speaking them. We talk with Lighthouse Guild client Aaron Vasquez, who has outfitted his home with smart home technology, and with Matthew Cho, a client who traveled to the Johnson Space Center in Houston to speak to the unmanned Orion Spacecraft via the Amazon Alexa on board, demonstrating that voice assistant technology can bring inclusivity and accessibility to many jobs and industries and are not just for the home anymore.   The Big Takeaways: Alexa Onboard the Orion Spacecraft. NASA partnered with Amazon to use the Alexa voice-controlled smart assistant onboard the unmanned Orion spacecraft so that engineers could guide the spacecraft from Mission Control. This project tested the possibility of Alexa for space travel while demonstrating that voice-controlled smart assistants have uses beyond the home. Matthew Cho, an 18-year-old student and client of Lighthouse Guild had the opportunity to travel to Houston to be one of the volunteers to give voice commands to the spacecraft via an Amazon Alexa device while it hurtled through space. Accessibility and Preferences. David Frerichs, Principal Engineer, Alexa Experience at Amazon, and someone who works on the aging and accessibility team, has spent his career developing technology that adapts to the ever-changing needs of the user and has cultivated a design philosophy that makes clear that design choices (like voice control) that enable inclusivity for people who are blind can also become the preferred way that most users engage with a device or a tool. Curb cuts are a historical example. David often thinks in terms of “Hot tub safe computing.” What can a person do to engage with the device from their hot tub? Ambient Computing. David mentions ambient computing, the next phase of smart home technology, in which a network of devices in the built environment intuit and respond to a user's needs without the user even needing to speak a command. Smart Homes Today, Smart Industries Tomorrow. Aaron Vasquez is a smart home user. He uses Google Echo to power two smart lamps, operate his smart TV, and control a pet camera to oversee his rambunctious kitties when he's not at home. As a person who is visually impaired, Aaron prefers voice command for running his home in this way. This episode asks how the smart home's tools can be integrated into offices and industries to make these more accessible and inclusive spaces.   Tweetables: “To be able to have a rocket be dependent on an AI without anybody having to control the spacecraft is, it is really amazing, and I feel that later on that they'll be able to use it for much more things aside from space.” – Matthew Cho, student and client of Lighthouse Guild “So their goal was to eventually get different people to be able to go into space … They were trying to see if Alexa would work properly with all sorts of people, normal people. Not just astronauts, like regular, ordinary, everyday people.” – Matthew Cho, student and client of Lighthouse Guild “You have … permanent need, temporary need, situational need, and preferential need that really can inform us on … how we can address [a] barrier for the particular core use case. But if we do it well, it will serve a much broader community.” – David Frerichs, Principal Engineer, Alexa Experience at Amazon  “We're moving toward … ambient computing. That is … that the system should be able to respond to the needs of the customer, even if the customer doesn't say anything. ... That's … where the boundaries are and where it's gonna continue to be pushed.” – David Frerichs, Principal Engineer, Alexa Experience at Amazon “We had seen this pack of smart bulbs and they were relatively cheap, and I was like, huh, that's, that's kind of cool. So we were like, you know what? Let's get it. So we got ‘em, we hooked them up and that kind of is what started everything.” – Aaron Vasquez, smart home user and client of Lighthouse Guild  “Honestly, it's so much easier if I can ask Google a question and she can come up with the answer, then I'm better off that way instead of actually trying to look it up myself.” – Aaron Vasquez, smart home user and client of Lighthouse Guild    Contact Us: Contact us at podcasts@lighthouseguild.org with your innovative new technology ideas for people with vision loss.   Pertinent Links: Lighthouse Guild Alexa in Space David Frerichs

Orion Vehicle Manager Frank Lin beams in to give us the low down on what's next for the first human rated spacecraft in fifty years to reach the Moon.

Debate over the prisoners swap that freed WNBA star Brittney Griner from a Russian penal colony illustrates the tough choices involved. Some critics of the deal, including Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff, say it only encourages people like Vladimir Putin to unjustly detain more Americans. Others say the US can and should make every reasonable effort to get US citizens back. Griner arrived back in the US early Friday. You may hear that a recount is underway in a number of Michigan counties on two ballot proposals from the November midterm elections. Conservative groups opposed to Proposal 3 that enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution, and Proposal 2 on voting rights, challenged the results and paid the filing fee, but the recount does not cover enough votes to change the results. The groups pushing the recount say they will evaluate the data for possible future actions. NASA's Orion Spacecraft is back on Earth following a weeks-long flight around the moon. The unmanned journey covered one-point-four-million miles after launching from Kennedy Space Center on November 16th. NASA aims to use the Artemis One mission to eventually get astronauts back on the moon, and eventually to Mars.

NASA's Orion spacecraft is on course for its return to Earth on Sunday, Dec. 11. The spacecraft made its second and final close approach to the Moon at 10:43 a.m. CST Monday, Dec. 5, just before its return powered flyby burn, passing 80.6 miles above the lunar surface. Starshield leverages SpaceX's Starlink technology and launch capability to support national security efforts. While Starlink is designed for consumer and commercial use, Starshield is designed for government use.

NASA's long-awaited Artemis 1 launch is expected to finally take place on Wednesday 16 November after months of weather delays and technical problems. The rocket is going to the moon, 53 years since the United States first touched the lunar surface.

In today's show, we're going to go Behind the Wings of a cutting-edge space vehicle – The Orion Spacecraft, and the Artemis Missions - with Lockheed Martin systems engineer and Integration senior manager Kerry Timmons.Kerry leads a team of engineers at Lockheed Martin, working on Orion's vehicle requirements - from the advanced electrical systems to human integration for the Artemis I and II missions. With the Artemis program we'll be able to explore uncharted parts of the moon, and learn more about what it takes to not only explore the moon but deep Space. What an exciting time for human space flight. I remember as a kid the wonder of Apollo – In today's conversation that excitement is back! Key Takeaways: Kerry Timmons is a second-generation Lockheed Martin employee. She has been working on the Orion spacecraft since 2008. Orion is the US and NASA's crewed deep space exploration vehicle, consisting of the crew vehicle, the service module, and the launch abort system. Orion uses the same blunt-body capsule as the Apollo spacecraft, but there are differences in the crew capacity (3 on Apollo, 4 on Orion), and mission length (Apollo 14 days, Orion 21 days). The Orion capsule is reusable, enabling more frequent missions. The Apollo missions were named after the Greek god Apollo, the god of the sun. The Artemis missions are named after Apollo's twin sister Artemis, the goddess of the moon. Artemis I is an uncrewed mission around the moon planned for launch in 2022. The spacecraft will go deeper than any crewed vehicle has before, based on the trajectory and orbit, to ensure the safety of the vehicle for Artemis II Artemis II will take the crew out for the first time in the Orion Spacecraft to orbit the moon. It is planned for 2024 Artemis III will take the first woman and person of color to land on the moon. It is planned for 2025. Artemis IV will be another mission to the moon, possibly incorporating the upcoming Lunar Gateway. It is planned for 2026. NASA wants to build a sustainable lunar environment both on the surface and as orbiting an orbiting platform to grow our knowledge and experience living and working in space Lockheed Martin partnered with Amazon on the Callisto payload to bring the Alexa voice control and Cisco WebX video communication aboard Orion. When the Orion Spacecraft returns to Earth it will bounce off the atmosphere in a maneuver called a skip re-entry. This was conceived during the Apollo program but is only now technologically possible. Kerry Timmons's hope for the future of space exploration, is for more people to be part of the space industry, a thriving earth-lunar economy, and for more people to be able to experience the wonder of exploration in space.

Our Mark Ratterman was on hand at NASA's Kennedy Space Center for the rollout of  America's new launch vehicle: NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion Spacecraft sitting atop the 322 foot stack. . It was the first time a large rocket set on its way to the launch pad from the Vehicle Assembly Building since the Space Shuttle. No longer on the drawing board or an artistic rendering, Mark was on hand to bring us his unique perspective on this moment of history, including a reminder that space travel isn't just technology, there's a very human side to it too. The team discussed the upcoming preparations for the initial Wet Dress Rehearsal, a test of the rocket's ground support equipment, procedures, and the people who will be responsible for launching the SLS/Orion combination on the first leg of the journey to the Moon.    The team also examines further the impact of Russia's actions in Ukraine and the continued fallout there has been for the spaceflight community, and we end with a light side of space courtesy of the Canadian Space Agency.

The Lyrid Meteor Showers; Planets on show in May; the truth about supermoons - and more - as Howard Parkin looks at what we can see (weather permitting) if we go stargazing in the dark skies over our Island during the month of May. Howard's music choice this month is the Star Wars theme … remembering that May the 4th is Star Wars Day (yes - Howard really DID say that!!) After the music break, Howard has his sights set on space - with news of the mission to Mars, activity on the International Space Station, an update on the SpaceX Dragon - the reusable cargo spacecraft, and the Orion Spacecraft. The Manx Sky at Night with Howard Parkin is broadcast on Manx Radio on the final Sunday of each month, at 9.30pm, and is available as a podcast, shortly afterwards.

In Part 5 of our series of Return to the Moon to Stay,  our report focuses on the design, more than one and half time larger the the Apollo module and the concern for the astronauts safety.

In Part 4 of our series of Return To The Moon To Stay, focuses on "Cosmic Radiation" and the concern for astronaut safety. The new Orion Spacecraft is being readied for long duration space missions.

Traveling to distant planets is not a quick journey so what happens to the human body during all that time in space? Glad you asked. In this ep, Bill and Chuck get down to the nitty gritty about long-term space travel. Thanks to astronaut Scott Kelly (and his Earth-bound twin brother Mark) we’ve got some […]

On our science segment this week, I unpack all the details from NASA's announcement to go back to the Moon to stay, and eventually go to Mars. Starting in 2020, the Orion Spacecraft will begin test launches on the SLS rocket. Also, NASA and private and commercial companies will be working on the Gateway spacecraft which will act as an orbiting hub around the Moon to ferry astronauts to the lunar surface. Along with new science experiments and robotic rovers being deployed to the Moon, everything will be used as a field test to inevitably send a human presence to Mars by 2030. This is all exciting and groundbreaking for humanity, but we need to think about revising the laws that govern space as well. Dr. Michio Kaku chimes in on this idea from a clip from episode 63 of Fueled By Death Cast.

Before sending people in to space, space agencies like NASA or commercial companies like Boeing & SpaceX must take stock of risks to crew and vehicle and do their best to mitigate them. But how does this process actually work? How do you quantify risks to people? And most importantly, how do you determine that the risk is acceptable before you fly? Jake is joined by Holly Griffith, an engineer on the Safety team for NASA's Orion Spacecraft, to talk about risks and to have a candid conversation about what's at stake when making these kinds of decisions.

EXPLICIT MATERIAL Today, the Orion Test Flight attempted to launch and faced several challenges during it's launch window and had to scrub the launch for 24 hours.   Alex goes over the first (scrubbed) launch of the Orion Spacecraft from Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.   He goes over the incidents that caused the delay. ("Higher-than-expected" winds, another boat, and "sticky" Hydrogen Valves) He tells the story of the "Four-Inch Launch" of the Mercury-Redstone 1 (MR-1) ...and gets a little too excitable about the boat that entered "restricted area".   FAN Question: How do I subscribe/set-up/use a podcast app? How does it work? ANSWER: A HOW-TO for setting up a podcast (any podcast on multiple devices) so that you can listen to it in the best way possible will be up tomorrow.
