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.

#NASA #Earth #ClimateNASA Hidden Figure Dorothy J. Vaughan (Narrated by Octavia Spencer)NASA2024-08-05 | 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.

Launch of the ULA (United Launch Alliance) Atlas V rocket and Starliner spacecraft is targeted for 10:34 p.m. EDT Monday, May 6 (0234 UTC Tuesday, May 7) 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.
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.

• NASA astronauts Matt Dominick, Mike Barratt, and Jeanette Epps • Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin
The crew's Dragon spacecraft will physically separate from the forward-facing port of the station's Harmony module at 8:55 a.m EDT (1255 UTC), then dock at the station's space-facing Harmony port at 9:38 a.m. EDT (1338 UTC). The spacecraft is relocating to make room for Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, currently scheduled to arrive in May.
#NASA #InternationalSpaceStation #SpaceXNASAs Boeing Crew Flight Test Astronaut Question and Answer SessionNASA2024-05-01 | Join NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams for a question-and-answer session ahead of their launch aboard Boeing Starliner's Crew Flight Test. Set for Monday, May 6, 2024, at 10:34 p.m. EDT (0234 UTC, May 7) from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, this is the first flight of this spacecraft to carry humans.
As the final flight test for Starliner, NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test will validate the transportation system, including the launch pad, rocket, spacecraft, in-orbit operational capabilities, and return to Earth with astronauts aboard. This is Boeing's second flight to the International Space Station and third Starliner flight test overall, following an Orbital Flight Test—the uncrewed mission also known as OFT-2—in May 2022. Boeing also completed pad abort demonstration in November 2019.

Video Producer: Andre Valentine Video Editor: Andre Valentine Narrator: Emanuel Cooper Music: Universal Production Music Credit: NASASuccess and PreparationNASA2024-04-23 | 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.
