NASAs Europa Clipper Launch NASA 2024-10-14 | NASA is set to launch the Europa Clipper spacecraft to explore Europa, an ocean moon orbiting Jupiter.Europa Clipper’s launch is targeted for no earlier than Monday, Oct. 14, 2024 at 12:06 p.m. EDT (1606 UTC). The spacecraft, the largest NASA has ever built for a planetary mission, will launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Europa is one of the most promising places in our solar system to find an environment suitable for life beyond Earth. Evidence suggests that the ocean beneath Europa’s icy surface could contain the ingredients for life — water, the right chemistry, and energy. While Europa Clipper is not a life-detection mission, it will answer key questions about the moon’s potential habitability.For more information about Europa and the Europa Clipper mission, visit go.nasa.gov/EuropaClipperFor more information on launch windows: science.nasa.gov/mission/europa-clipper/launch-windowsCredit: NASA#NASA #SolarSystem #EuropaClipper #Space #RocketLaunch #News

NASA Hidden Figure Dorothy J. Vaughan (Narrated by Octavia Spencer) NASA 2024-08-05 | Dorothy J. Vaughan was a pioneer human computer and visionary who was integral in the expansion of a diverse workforce across NASA.She began her career with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics in 1943 as part of the segregated West Area Computing Unit, an all-black group of female mathematicians.Their ground-breaking work and remarkable contributions left an indelible mark on the NASA community.Promoted to lead the West Area Computers in 1949, Vaughan was NACA’s first black supervisor and one of its few female supervisors. She was a steadfast advocate for the women who worked as human computers, and for all the individuals under her leadership.Dorothy Vaughan helmed West Computing for nearly a decade. In 1958, when the NACA made the transition to NASA, segregated facilities, including the West Computing office, were abolished. Dorothy Vaughan and many of the former West Computers joined the new Analysis and Computation Division (ACD), a racially and gender-integrated group on the frontier of electronic computing. Dorothy Vaughan became an expert FORTRAN programmer, and she also contributed to the Scout Launch Vehicle Program.Through her exceptional leadership and dedication to the betterment of all individuals – particularly women of color, her legacy informed the agency’s current diverse workforce. Innovators like Vaughan laid the foundation for NASA to revisit the Moon for the first time since the Apollo era, this time with the first woman and first person of color under the Artemis program.nasa.gov/people/dorothy-vaughan Credit: NASAProducer: Sonnet AppleDownload link: images.nasa.gov/details/Breaking%20Barriers%20Dorothy%20J.%20Vaughan%20%28Narrated%20by%20Octavia%20Spencer%29

NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test Rendezvous and Docking NASA 2024-06-06 | Watch live as a crewed Boeing Starliner spacecraft docks to the International Space Station for the first time. Starliner will autonomously dock to the forward-facing port of the station’s Harmony module at approximately 12:15 p.m. EDT (1615 UTC). NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are aboard Starliner, which was launched on Wednesday, June 5 at 10:52 a.m. EDT (1452 UTC) on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. The Starliner and crew will remain at the space station for about a week.As part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, the flight test will help validate the transportation system, launch pad, rocket, spacecraft, in-orbit operations capabilities, and return to Earth with astronauts aboard as the agency prepares to certify Starliner for rotational missions to the space station.

NASA’s Boeing Starliner Crew Flight Test Launch – June 5, 2024 (Official NASA Broadcast) NASA 2024-06-05 | Watch live as two NASA astronauts launch from Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft as one of the final steps on the road to certification. Launch of the ULA (United Launch Alliance) Atlas V rocket and Starliner spacecraft is targeted for 10:52 a.m. EDT Wednesday, June 5 (1452 UTC) from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The two NASA astronauts aboard, flight commander Butch Wilmore and pilot Suni Williams, will test the end-to-end capabilities of the Starliner system, including launch, docking, and return to Earth. After a one-week stay docked to the International Space Station, the Starliner and crew will land under parachutes in the western United States. The launch attempt on May 6 was scrubbed due to a faulty oxygen relief valve observation on the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket Centaur second stage. The launch attempt on June 1 was scrubbed due to an observation of a ground launch sequencer. Launch coverage on NASA+ (plus.nasa.gov) will end shortly after Starliner orbital insertion. NASA Television (nasa.gov/nasatv) will provide continuous coverage leading up to docking and through hatch opening and welcome remarks.

Success and Preparation NASA 2024-04-23 | At 1:47 a.m. EST (6:47 UTC) on Nov. 16, 2022, NASA’s Orion spacecraft launched atop the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket from historic Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on a path to the Moon, officially beginning the Artemis I mission. Over the course of 25.5 days, Orion performed two lunar flybys, coming within 80 miles (129 kilometers) of the lunar surface. At its farthest distance during the mission, Orion traveled nearly 270,000 miles (435,000 kilometers) from our home planet. NASA’s Orion spacecraft successfully completed a parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean at 9:40 a.m. PST (12:40 p.m. EST) as the final major milestone of the Artemis I mission. Artemis I set new records of performance, exceeded efficiency expectations, and established new safety baselines for humans in deep space. This is a prelude to what comes next—following the success of Artemis I, human beings will fly around the Moon on Artemis II.
