The exotic chemistry in the clouds of Venus has remained a mystery for four decades. Could life be the cause? The MIT Habitability Probe will search for the Building Blocks of Life and identify classes of complex organic molecules that could indicate the presence of life. MIT is the sponsor of the Morning Star Mission to Venus which will be launched on a Rocket Lab vehicle in 2026.

SARA SEAGER is the recipient of the 2024 Kavli Prize in Astrophysics. Seager is recognized for discoveries of exoplanets and the characterization of their atmospheres. She has pioneered methods for the detection of atomic species in planetary atmospheres and the measurement of their thermal infrared emission, setting the stage for finding the molecular fingerprints of atmospheres around both giant and rocky planets. Their contributions have been key to the enormous progress seen in the last 20 years in the exploration of myriad exoplanets.
Sara held a postdoctoral research fellow position at the Institute for Advanced Study between 1999 and 2002 and a senior research staff member at the Carnegie Institution of Washington until 2006. She joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in January 2007. NASA’s Planet Quest referred to her as “an astronomical Indiana Jones “.

Veteran five mission Astronaut Hoot Gibson talks about his experiences aboard the Space Shuttle.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER-
ROBERT LEE “HOOT” GIBSON (Capt, USN, Ret.), is a naval officer and aviator, test pilot, and aeronautical engineer. A retired NASA astronaut, he also served as Chief of the Astronaut Office from 1992 to 1994. Today Gibson is active as a professional pilot, racing regularly at the
annual Reno Air Races. He was inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in 2003 and the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 2013, and has received several military decorations throughout his career.

Selected by NASA in January 1978, Gibson became an astronaut in August 1979. Gibson flew five missions: STS-41-B in 1984, STS-61-C in 1986, STS-27 in 1988, STS-47 in 1992, and STS-71 in 1995. Gibson served as Chief of the Astronaut Office (December 1992 to September 1994) and as Deputy Director, Flight Crew Operations (March–November 1996). On his last flight, (June 27 to July 7, 1995), Gibson commanded a crew of seven-members (up) and eight-members (down) on Space Shuttle mission STS-71. This was the first Space Shuttle mission to dock with the Russian Space Station Mir, and involved an exchange of crews. When the hatch separating the two modules was opened, Gibson and Vladimir Dezhurov shook hands, symbolizing the newly-found cooperation between the United States of America and the Russian Federation. Later that day, President Bill Clinton in a statement mentioned that this handshake was a major breakthrough towards the ending of the Cold War.

First Crewed Starliner Ascent Foreshadows Epic Saga #Nasa #boeingstarliner #space #spaceexploration

NEAF Talks 2025-05-12 | Filmed April 2025

What’s the real story behind the Boeing Starliner problems. Boeing Technical Fellow Tom Mulder gives the inside details with this exclusive story of exactly what took place and what’s next for Starliner.

Development of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft began in 2009 as a Space Shuttle replacement for crew and cargo delivery to the International Space Station (ISS). Vehicle design matured rapidly with the award of a NASA contract in September 2014, however numerous delays ensued and test flights did not begin until 2019 leading to additional problems and delays. The first crewed flight test, CFT-1 with Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, finally took place in 2024 with less than optimal results. As a member of the Starliner team since its inception, Tom Mulder will describe exactly what happened with CFT 1, and what does the future hold for Starliner.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER-

Boeing Starliner- The Real Story Behind What Went Wrong | NEAF Briefs

NEAF Talks 2025-05-06 | NEAF Briefs- NEAF Talks now in 12 minutes or less.

Filmed April 2025

What’s the real story behind the Boeing Starliner problems. Boeing Technical Fellow Tom Mulder gives the inside details with this exclusive story of exactly what took place and what’s next for Starliner.

Development of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft began in 2009 as a Space Shuttle replacement for crew and cargo delivery to the International Space Station (ISS). Vehicle design matured rapidly with the award of a NASA contract in September 2014, however numerous delays ensued and test flights did not begin until 2019 leading to additional problems and delays. The first crewed flight test, CFT-1 with Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, finally took place in 2024 with less than optimal results. As a member of the Starliner team since its inception, Tom Mulder will describe exactly what happened with CFT 1, and what does the future hold for Starliner.

Chris Go | Jupiter Impacts after Shoemaker-Levy 9 | NEAF Talks

NEAF Talks 2024-12-20 | Filmed April 2024

Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9, broke apart in July 1992 and collided with Jupiter in July 1994, providing the first direct observation of an extraterrestrial collision of Solar System objects. This was then considered a once in a lifetime event. However, recent observations have revealed that this occurrence might not be so rare. Chris explains from his own direct involvement how new impacts have been detected on the surface of Jupiter and on an amazing frequency.

Who is Chris Go?
CHRISTOPHER GO lives on the island of Cebu in the Philippines. He studied at the University of San Carlos where he received a BS in physics and co-founded the University’s first-ever astronomical society. In February 2006, he discovered Jupiter’s “Red Spot Jr.” Peeking through his first set of binoculars at a young age, Christopher Go had no
idea how the images being reflected back at him would change his life as he knew it. For four years, Go viewed the world through the lenses of his binoculars and, at the same time, got a closer look into his passion. In 1990, he received his first telescope and began exploring the world of astro-imaging. Christopher Go has co-authored
articles in numerous scientific journals including Nature. Go is also a current member of the American Astronomical Society and its Division for Planetary Sciences. Go uses a Celestron C14 and a Celestron Skyris camera to capture his astrophotography and the hearts of his avid followers.

Jani Radebaugh | Dragonfly: Explorer for Saturns Moon Titan | NEAF Talks

NEAF Talks 2024-11-22 | Filmed April 2023

Saturn’s largest moon Titan, as seen by the Cassini mission, is an Earth-like world in many ways, having river channels, lakes, vast sand dunes and a nitrogen-rich, dense atmosphere. Yet the temperature is 90 degrees above absolute zero, the surface liquid is methane, the crust is water ice, and the dunes are made of organic sands. Sometimes conditions may be right such that complex organic materials, such as in the sand dunes, can combine with liquid water, thus being favorable for life. The newly selected, $1 billion NASA mission Dragonfly, now in design, is a quadcopter-like rotorcraft lander for Titan. This capable spacecraft will image the surface up close, in the vein of Mars rover exploration, but could vastly outstrip these rovers in ground coverage, easily exceeding several hundred miles. And it will analyze samples, helping us understand if conditions are right for life in the distant reaches of our solar system.

Who is Jani Radebaugh?
JANI RADEBAUGH is a planetary scientist who specializes in field studies of planets. She’s a regular presence on the Science/Discovery program How the Universe Works, the NASA Unexplained Files and other BBC and Nova programs. She is an Associate Team Member of the Cassini RADAR instrument and is a Science Team Member for the newly selected Dragonfly rotorcraft lander mission to Saturn’s moon Titan. She was also involved in the Galileo Mission, the Io Volcanoes Observer mission proposal, and the Median project for Mars. Professor Radebaugh believes exploring Earth is our best chance at fully understanding the other planets in our solar system. She travels far and wide with her Brigham Young University geology students to find and study unique landscapes. She explores the big deserts of the world, such as the Saharan, Arabian and Namib deserts, as well as the Argentinian Altiplano and Iran’s Lut desert to study giant sand dunes and wind-carved ridges similar to features on Titan, Mars, Venus and Pluto. She visits the lava lakes of the world, such as those in the Ethiopian Afar valley and Vanuatu in the southwest Pacific, to compare them with active lava lakes of Jupiter’s moon Io.

Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9, formally designated D/1993 F2, broke apart in July 1992 and collided with Jupiter in July 1994, providing the first direct observation of an extraterrestrial collision of Solar System objects. This generated a large amount of coverage in the popular media, and the comet was closely observed by astronomers worldwide. The collision provided new information about Jupiter and highlighted its possible role in reducing space debris in the inner Solar System. It is now 30 years since its discovery by David Levy and Gene and Carolyn Shoemaker and its collision with Jupiter.

Who is David Levy?
DAVID H. LEVY is a Canadian astronomer and science writer who co-discovered Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 in 1993, which collided with the planet Jupiter in 1994. Levy was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in 1948. He developed an interest in astronomy at an early age. However, he pursued and received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English literature.

Levy went on to discover 22 comets, either independently or with Gene and Carolyn S. Shoemaker. He has written 34 books, mostly on astronomical subjects, such as The Quest for Comets, a biography of Pluto-discoverer Clyde Tombaugh in 2006, and his tribute to Gene Shoemaker in Shoemaker by Levy. He has provided periodic articles for Sky and Telescope magazine, as well as Parade Magazine, Sky News and, most recently, Astronomy Magazine.

Fred Haise | Never Panic Early | NEAF Talks

NEAF Talks 2024-11-03 | Filmed April 2023

Apollo 13 was the seventh crewed mission in the Apollo space program and the third meant to
land on the Moon. The craft was launched from Kennedy Space Center on April 11, 1970, but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank in the service module failed two days into the mission incapacitating the capsule. The crew instead looped around the Moon and utilized the LM as a lifeboat. Although the LM was designed to support two men on the lunar surface for two days, Mission Control improvised new procedures so it could support three men for four days. The crew experienced great hardship, caused by limited power, a chilly and wet cabin and a shortage of potable water, they returned safely to Earth on April 17.
