NASA's ongoing efforts to develop in situ propellant production (ISPP) technologies for the Moon and Mars involve a balance between complex engineering and practical execution. These technologies, which aim to generate fuel on the lunar and Martian surfaces using local resources, could reduce the need to transport propellants from Earth, but present significant challenges in both design and powe

Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have identified the heaviest antimatter nucleus ever observed. This exotic antinucleus, named antihyperhydrogen-4, is composed of four antimatter particles: an antiproton, two antineutrons, and an antihyperon. The discovery comes from an analysis of six billion particle collisions performed at RHIC, a facility designed to recreate conditio

Planets are bodies that orbit a star and have sufficient gravitational mass that they form themselves into roughly spherical shapes that, in turn, exert gravitational force on smaller objects around them, such as asteroids and moons. For most of human history, the only planets our ancestors knew of were those they could see in the night sky. But in the last 30 years, telescopes sensitive enough

Physicians at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University are working with Polaris Dawn, the first of the Polaris Program's three human spaceflight missions, to better understand the eye changes many astronauts experience during spaceflight that can leave them with a wide range of symptoms once they return to Earth—from a new need for glasses to significant loss of vision.
The Polaris Program is a first-of-its-kind effort to rapidly advance human spaceflight capabilities while continuing to raise funds and awareness for important causes on Earth.
More than 70% of astronauts experience a phenomenon known as Spaceflight Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome, or SANS, according to NASA. The syndrome can have "a constellation of symptoms, including these changes in vision," said Matt Lyon, MD, director of the MCG Center for Telehealth.
Astronauts can experience other maladies as well when body fluids, such as cerebrospinal fluid, shift, which can lead to structural changes in the brain.
"The changes start happening on day one," said Lyon, who is also the J. Harold Harrison M.D. Distinguished Chair in Telehealth.
