Roman Space Telescope: Full Outer Barrel Assembly Testing Time-lapse NASA Video 2024-10-16 | The Outer Barrel Assembly, or OBA, is a key part of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. It is made of two main parts: the shell section, a baffled carbon-fiber tube that surrounds the telescope to keep the temperature stable and project it from stray light; and the support struts, which extend past the instruments to connect the shell section to the rear spacecraft bus where all the support systems are located. Although the OBA is one of the less complicated parts of the overall observatory, the testing process for it is anything but simple. This time-lapse covers one tiny part of the intricate dance that all of Roman’s systems have been working their way through on their path to joining together as the complete observatory.Just one of the many tests the OBA undergoes is static load testing in NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center’s 120-foot-diameter centrifuge. The two parts of the OBA are separated and tested individually, with aluminum weights called mass simulators, or mass sims for short, taking the place of other parts of the spacecraft and creating the correct center of gravity. Nearly 100 sensors are connected throughout the structure to carefully measure the strain on each part of it. The OBA is attached to a metal plate which can tip and rotate hydraulically to change the position of the test hardware. These changes in position ensure that every component of the hardware experiences the full launch load.The struts are tested in six different orientations first. Tilting for the sixth, and final test, is where this time-lapse begins. After the final test, the multi-day process of removing the struts and replacing them with the shell section begins. All of the mass sims and sensors need to come off of the struts, while, at the same time, different mass sims are added to the shell section, which is in a separate clean room. The shell section is also wrapped in protective Kapton film to reduce contamination in the non-clean environment of the centrifuge.The struts are topped with a metal interface ring that connects them and gives structural stability. This same ring is needed to connect the shell section to the adjustable test platform and so it must be transferred from the struts to the shell. The simplest way to do this is to connect the two pieces in, with the interface ring between them, in an adjoining “high-bay” with plenty of vertical room and floor space for the two pieces to sit side-by-side on dollies. The complete OBA is then hand-pushed into the centrifuge, to a different crane, and the shell section is lifted off with the interface ring now attached only to it. The struts are pushed out and taken to the next testing step.The OBA is attached to the centrifuge test platform and has 96 sensors carefully connected at key locations. Like the struts, it will have six spins of different intensities and positions, culminating in a final spin at 18.4 rpm and 7.1 Gs. At that speed, the wind around the edges of the centrifuge travels at 80 miles per hour, and at over 130 mph along the ground.Music Credit: “Concave Hexagon", "Convex Pentagon", "Dodecahedron", "Equilateral Triangle", "Heptagon", "Irregular Quadrilateral", "Kite", "Square-based Pyramid", "Icosahedron” from the album Geometric Shapes.

These are ARMD's current progress updates.
TESS Observes Stellar Triplets NASA Video 2024-10-02 | Professional and amateur astronomers teamed up with artificial intelligence to find an unmatched stellar trio called TIC 290061484, thanks to cosmic “strobe lights” captured by NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite).The system contains a set of twin stars orbiting each other every 1.8 days, and a third star that circles the pair in just 25 days. The discovery smashes the record for shortest outer orbital period for this type of system, set in 1956, which had a third star orbiting an inner pair in 33 days.Partly because the stars in the newfound system orbit in nearly the same plane, scientists say it’s likely very stable despite their tight configuration (the trio’s orbits fit within a smaller area than Mercury’s orbit around the Sun). Each star’s gravity doesn’t perturb the others too much, like they could if their orbits were tilted in different directions.Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight CenterProducer: Scott Wiessinger (eMITS)Science Writer: Ashley Balzer (eMITS)Visualizers: Veselin Kostov (NASA Postdoctoral Fellow) Brian Powell (NASA/GSFC)Scientist: Veselin Kostov (NASA Postdoctoral Fellow)Editor: Scott Wiessinger (eMITS)This video can be freely shared and downloaded at svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14677.

NASA’s JENI Instrument Captures Hot Plasma Explosions in Earth’s Magnetotail NASA Video 2024-10-01 | From Aug. 19-20, ESA’s (European Space Agency) Juice (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) mission made history with a daring lunar-Earth flyby and double gravity assist maneuver, a spaceflight first. After Juice dove through Earth’s radiation belts and began leaving our planet behind, the spacecraft turned so NASA’s onboard JENI (Jovian Energetic Neutrals and Ions) camera could use its special sensors to snap the sharpest-ever images of the hot plasma encircling Earth, which is invisible to the human eye. Now strung into a movie, the images showcase the sudden appearance of vast regions of this hot plasma on the nightside of Earth’s magnetosphere. These bursts, called substorm injections, happen when Earth’s magnetosphere — stretched millions of kilometers behind Earth like a slingshot — releases explosively. Plasma trapped in the magnetosphere is suddenly rocketed toward Earth and heated to millions of degrees. This phenomenon is expected to occur on a much grander scale at Jupiter. Juice is looking slightly “up” at Earth’s magnetosphere in the video, with pairs of magnetic field lines plotted to reference the local time at noon, dusk, midnight and dawn. The Sun is off to the left in the frames, the nightside off to the right. The location of the Moon and Jupiter are marked for reference. The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, in Laurel, Maryland, manages the JENI instrument for NASA on ESA’s Juice mission. The JENI instrument is part of the Solar System Exploration Program, managed at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

NASA’s The Quiet Crew | Laura White NASA Video 2024-08-30 | In this episode of The Quiet Crew, you’ll meet Laura White, a mathematician working on the Commercial Supersonic Technology Project, supporting the Quesst mission. Her role is to help quantify statistics related to the loudness of the aircraft and the accuracy of simulations. She is part of the crew working to transform aviation as NASA and communities verify that the X-59’s quiet, supersonic design can turn a sonic boom into a sonic thump. This new technology, along with a potential change in regulations, will allow airliners to fly faster over land, cutting passenger travel time in half without disturbing people on the ground.
