“When I was a kid, I grew up watching the Moon landings. I remember watching Neil Armstrong land on the Moon, step on the lunar surface. … And so, as a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut. That was the thing – everybody wanted to be an astronaut. As I grew up, I kind of lost track of that between everything, living life and whatnot. “And so, a few years ago, when the pandemic hit, I was working for a construction contractor. Work stopped. There was nothing for me, and they laid me off. And I decided that I was due for a career change, and I wanted to get into aerospace. And I targeted, I worked very hard to find this job and…

哈勃观察到一种宇宙海洋生物

The jellyfish galaxy JO206 trails across this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, showcasing a colorful star-forming disk surrounded by a pale, luminous cloud of dust. A handful of foreground bright stars with crisscross diffraction spikes stands out against an inky black backdrop at the bottom of the image. JO206 lies over 700 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Aquarius. Jellyfish galaxies are so-called because of their resemblance to their aquatic namesakes. In the bottom right of this image, long tendrils of bright star formation trail the disk of JO206, just as jellyfish trail tentacles behind them. The tendrils of jellyfish galaxies are formed by the interaction between galaxies and the intra-cluster medium, a tenuous superheated plasma that pervades galaxy clusters. As galaxies…

The last rays of an orbital sunset illuminate the cloud tops above the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan, providing a dramatic background for the SpaceX CRS-28 Dragon cargo craft as it approached the International Space Station for docking on June 6, 2023. The uncrewed Dragon spacecraft carried scientific experiments and technology demonstrations, including studies of plant adaptation to stress and genetic structures called telomeres and deployment of satellite projects designed by students in Canada.

On June 5, 2023, Crew-5 astronauts Josh Cassada (left) and Nicole A. Mann (second from left) of NASA, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Koichi Wakata (right) visited NASA Associate Administrator Bob Cabana (second from right) at NASA Headquarters in Washington. Mann, Cassada, and Wakata spent 157 days in space as part of Expedition 68 aboard the International Space Station. While aboard, the astronauts worked on experiments related to heart disease, 3D printing human tissue, and fluid behavior in microgravity. Watch Crew-5 talk about their five-month mission.

This colorful zinnia, shown in an image from Jan. 22, 2016, grew aboard the International Space Station as part of the VEG-01 experiment. This investigation assessed the on-orbit function and performance of the Veggie facility, focusing on the growth and development of seedlings in the spaceflight environment and the composition of microbial flora on the plants and the facility. For this run, zinnias were grown for 60 days and produced flowers. Learn more about the Veggie facility and other ways NASA grows plants in space.

U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón reads her poem for the Europa Clipper mission during an event with NASA, Thursday, June 1, 2023, at the Library of Congress in Washington. The original poem, entitled “In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa,” connects two water worlds – Earth and Europa. The poem will be engraved on a plaque carried aboard the Europa Clipper spacecraft as part of NASA’s “Message in a Bottle” campaign, which invites people around the world to sign their names to the poem that will journey to another world. Participants’ names will travel 1.8 billion miles (2.89 billion kilometers) aboard the Europa Clipper spacecraft, set to launch in October 2024, on its voyage to Jupiter and its moons.

The VIPER (Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover) engineering test team uses lunar soil simulants and hand-picked rocks to carefully shape the terrain to realistically mimic actual features at the surface of the Moon’s South Pole at in the SLOPE Lab – short for Simulated Lunar Operations Laboratory at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland. Kevin May, rover and mission systems engineering intern at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley led the terrain preparation for the test. “Using data and imagery from previous lunar missions, we created various randomized scenes to mimic the surface terrain of the Moon, with craters and rocks of different sizes and shapes scattered over the SLOPE tilt bed,” May said. “With help from the VIPER science team, which generated…

TROPICS准备跟踪风暴

TROPICS准备跟踪风暴

ByNASA中文

A Rocket Lab Electron rocket stands on Pad B, Launch Complex 1, in Māhia, New Zealand, just ahead of a successful launch on Friday, May 26, with NASA’s Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats (TROPICS) CubeSats payload. Now that the final pair of CubeSats are in orbit, TROPICS will study the formation and development of tropical cyclones, known as hurricanes in the Atlantic and typhoons in the West Pacific. Hurricane season begins June 1, and the increase of cyclone data collected by TROPICS may lead to improved tropical cyclone forecasts, ultimately helping decision makers and first responders. Image Credit: Rocket Lab 5月26日星期五成功发射之前，一枚火箭实验室电子火箭站矗立在新西兰玛希亚1号发射复合体B平台上，搭载的是NASA利用小卫星（TROPICS）立方体卫星有效载荷，该卫星对降水结构和风暴强度进行了时间分辨观测。现在，最后一对立方体卫星已经进入轨道，TROPICS将研究热带气旋的形成和发展，热带气旋在大西洋被称为飓风，在西太平洋被称为台风。飓风季从6月1日开始，热带地区收集的飓风数据的增加可能会改善热带气旋预报，最终帮助决策者和急救人员。 影像来源：Rocket Lab

“It’s important for me to be an advocate for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility broadly for minorities and Asian Americans because I think I have a level of privilege that maybe other minorities may not feel that they do. I’m Asian American, Indian family, you know, privileged, not just in income and position, but also, we have the model minority myth. “It is this idea that Asian Americans are the good ones. We brought ourselves up by our bootstraps in this country, and we don’t have any problems. That we’re the successful ones. There is no discrimination. Nothing is holding us back. So, that by itself is a problem because that’s not true. But the second part of that is it’s frequently weaponized against other…
