Thomas’17 Department of Biology, Hampden-Sydney College, Hampden-Sydney, VA 23943 The exploration of Mars was once left to the imagination. However, in recent years, the topic of exploring Mars has become more realistic and increasingly popular in news articles and scientific communities. Technology developed in the previous half-century have already allowed humans to send rovers to Mars in order to retrieve some basic data about the planet. Current technological advancements are resulting in reusable rockets that could one day travel between Earth and Mars. Exploration and colonization of Mars are important for the development of research on the planet and the search for life. Current data is limited, but shows that the conditions on Mars could have supported life in the past.

  • Guide to Commercial Suborbital Flight Providers for Flight Opportunities About Flight Opportunities
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration SPACE TECHNOLOGY MISSION DIRECTORATE A Guide to Commercial Suborbital Flight Providers for Flight Opportunities About Flight Opportunities light Opportunities facilitates rapid demonstration of promising technologies for space exploration, discovery, and the expansion of space commerce Fthrough suborbital testing with industry flight providers, thereby maturing capabilities needed for NASA missions and commercial applications while strategically investing in the growth of the U.S. commercial spaceflight industry. About this Document In this document you will find information about commercial flight providers who have conducted successful flights for research payloads supported by Flight Opportunities. Some of these companies are contracted by NASA to provide commercial suborbital flight testing for NASA-developed technologies. Others have been chosen by academic, research, and industry organizations using funds awarded through NASA’s Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration and Infusion (SpaceTech-REDDI) Tech Flights solicitation or previous solicitations. Awardees receive a grant or enter into a collaborative agreement that allows them to purchase flights directly from a U.S. commercial flight vendor that best meets their needs for flight testing a promising space technology. While the flight providers highlighted in this document have been selected by Tech Flights grantees in recent years, other commercial flight providers not covered herein may also be eligible under the criteria set forth in the Tech Flights solicitation. Interested organizations and principal investigators should read the full eligibility criteria for flight providers in the Tech Flights solicitation available on NASA’s NSPIRES website. More information about the flight profiles featured in this document can be found in the respective Payload User Guides, which are available from individual flight providers.

One of the aims of this science experiment was to assess the effects of microgravity on murine T-cells during suborbital flight. These cells were placed in a NanoLab with a data logger that sensed the acceleration, temperature, and relative humidity during preflight, flight, and postflight operations. Some discrepancies in sensor measurement were noticed, and these errors were attributed partly to the difference in sampling rates and partly to the different locations of the sensors, which made it difficult to obtain highly accurate measurements of the accelerations and to correlate both sets of data. This paper discusses the setbacks and lessons learned, which made our team find new alternatives while meeting all milestones as mandated by NanoRacks and Blue Origin.

  • Fuelling the Future of Mobility: Moon-Produced Space Propellants
    May 2021 Fuelling the future of mobility: Moon-produced space propellants Go Beyond The forthcoming decade is expected to witness a wave of missions to the Moon and Mars, and fuel supply is a major challenge to make these travels economically sustainable. The difference in the required energy to launch from Earth and from the Moon is causing people to reconsider refuelling point positions (e.g. NHRO, Near Halo Rectilinear Orbit) and contemplate using space-produced propellants. A whole production and transport value chain would have to be established on the Moon. Initial investments are sizeable (~$7B) but an economic oportunity for space propellants should exist if launch costs from Earth do not fall too much below current SpaceX standards. Capex optimization and increased scale should further improve the competitiveness of space propellants. Positive outcomes for ’terrestrial‘ applications are also expected to be significant. Fuelling the future of mobility: Moon-produced space propellants The Case for Moon-Produced Propellants The next decade is expected to witness After 2024, NASA expects to set up a a boom in Lunar and Mars exploration. base camp on the moon (’Artemis Base Space-exploration- After the space race of the 60s, there has Camp’) to be a long-term foothold for lunar been an unprecedented resurgence of exploration, as well as a Moon-orbiting driven technologies unmanned Lunar and Mars missions since station (’Gateway’) on the NHRO (Near the end of the 90s, as well as the spread Rectilinear Halo Orbit) being a site for also have very of space programs to various countries.
