A team of roboticists from NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston have applied their expertise in making robots for deep space to designing a fully electric shape-changing submersible robot that will cut costs for maritime industries. Aquanaut, seen here during testing in the giant pool at Johnson’s Neutral Buoyancy Lab, opens its shell and turns its arms, claw hands, and various sensors to the job. NASA has a long history of transferring technology to the private sector. The agency’s Spinoff publication profiles NASA technologies that have transformed into commercial products and services, demonstrating the broader benefits of America’s investment in its space program. Spinoff is a publication of the Technology Transfer program in NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD). Learn more: NASA Space Robotics Dive…

May 2-6, 2022, is Teacher Appreciation Week! At NASA, we know the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education, and we provide lesson plans and other tools to help out classrooms. Visit NASA STEM Engagement for lesson plans and more. In the Discovering Alien Oceans: Density lesson, teachers will help their students to learn more about Jupiter’s icy moon Europa, by using the mass and density of known substances to predict what exists underneath the surface.

利用高空气球改进天气数据

利用高空气球改进天气数据

Researchers at Arizona State University in Tempe are evaluating a small, lightweight, efficient 3D imaging sensor designed for weather forecasting on consecutive balloon flights made possible by NASA’s Flight Opportunities program. Called CubeSounder, the innovation could benefit future balloon flights and CubeSats by enabling state-of-the-art atmospheric sounding capabilities – a process in which sensors probe the sky vertically for details on temperature, moisture, and water vapor, revealing subtle changes in the Earth’s atmosphere. The first of two NASA-supported flight tests for the technology took place in April in Tucson on a Stratollite high-altitude balloon from Tucson-based World View Enterprises. In this image, World View’s Stratollite high-altitude balloon is inflated on the launch pad in Tucson, Arizona on April 9, 2022. Image Credit: World View Enterprises…
