nasa’s arcstone instrument successfully-completes primary-mission 

NASA’s Arcstone instrument, designed to improve the accuracy of lunar calibration, successfully completed its technology demonstration, and now begins extended operations.   Arcstone launched on June 23 on a SpaceX Transporter-14 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, on a six-month mission to measure light reflected by the Moon, which is a stable and potentially highly-accurate calibration source, for satellite sensors.  The mission, led by NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, uses a speciallyContinue Reading

Investigators said known risks were left unaddressed despite years of warnings and available safety tools. The findings were presented at a daylongContinue Reading

Written by Daniel Boyette Nuclear propulsion and power technologies could unlock new frontiers in missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. NASA has reached an important milestone advancing nuclear propulsion that could benefit future deep space missions by completing a cold-flow test campaign of the first flight reactor engineering development unit since the 1960s. “NuclearContinue Reading
