NASA Tank Venting in Microgravity Challenge
Washington DC (SPX) Oct 13, 2023
As space travel extends to greater duration and distance, missions may require a propellant refill in space. To achieve this, spacecraft may require larger tanks and efficient refueling along with tanks that have the capability of isolating propellant from ullage fluid (a gas and vapor mixture) during a vent.
The goal of this Challenge is to develop a novel solution for the venting of ulla

JWST uncovers the smallest stars in our Galaxy and helps solving star cluster mystery
Padua, Italy (SPX) Oct 13, 2023
Using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers led by Tuila Ziliotto, a PhD student at the University of Padova, analyzed the smallest stars of the ancient star cluster M92.
As building blocks of galaxies, star clusters play a pivotal role in their formation and evolution, yet much about their origin remains shrouded in mystery. One intriguing

Preparing To Drill: Sols 3975-3976
Pasadena CA (JPL) Oct 13, 2023
Earth planning date: Wednesday, October 11, 2023: Planning today started 90 minutes later than usual thanks to the data downlink containing the information we needed to assemble the plan not arriving on Earth until just before 9:30 PDT. The late start meant that I was able to watch the reveal of the initial results from the OSIRIS-REx mission, which delivered a sample of the asteroid Bennu to Ea

Work starts on telescope to assist lunar missions
Changchun, China (XNA) Oct 13, 2023
China on Wednesday started the construction of a 40-meter-aperture radio telescope in the Changbai Mountain area in the northeastern province of Jilin, to support future lunar and deep-space probe missions.
Developed by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the optical instrument is designed to be a large, fully movable, high-precision multipurpose radio

Five things to know about NASA's mission to a metal world
Washington (AFP) Oct 12, 2023
For the first time ever, a NASA probe is set to journey to an object composed not of rock, ice, or gas, but metal: the asteroid Psyche.
By studying this space oddity, scientists hope to learn more about the inner cores of rocky planets such as our own - or, potentially catalog a previously unknown class of cosmic body.

Sensitive instruments to explore metal-rich asteroid
At the very center of the Earth is a core of metal—so hot and so deep down as to be unreachable and impossible to study directly. But we might learn more about it and the cores of other Earth-like planets by studying the asteroid Psyche. Based on observations made through telescopes, it is believed to consist of 60% metal, probably an iron and nickel alloy. Looking a bit like a potato and measuring about 150x250 km, Psyche may be the innermost core of a planet that, following a violent collision with another object, was stripped of its outer crust.
NASA is scheduled to send a mission to Psyche on Oct. 13. It will be NASA's fourteenth Discovery Program mission. Preparations started in 2017 with launch planned for 2022, but due to the corona pandemic, NASA was unable to complete the necessary testing in time.
