  • Lori Garver, NASA Deputy Administrator SOFIA Joining Forces Event Joint Base Andrews September 22, 2011
    Lori Garver, NASA Deputy Administrator SOFIA Joining Forces Event Joint Base Andrews September 22, 2011 Good afternoon. My name is Lori Garver, Deputy Administrator at NASA. I want to thank our German Aerospace Center partners and Joint Base Andrews for organizing this event and especially for making it possible for students and the children of military families to see this unique flying observatory up close. And let me just take a moment to commend First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden for devoting their time and energy in encouraging all Americans to do more in support of the wives, husbands, sons, daughters and other family members of our men and women in uniform who are defending our freedom around the world. 1 I want to also welcome any and all Members of Congress who are here today. And a special hello to Mary Blessing, an astronomy teacher at Herndon High School -- one of only six American teachers selected to work with scientists aboard SOFIA and to share that experience with their students. I know you are all eager to tour this magnificent aircraft, so I am only going to speak briefly then turn it over to my colleagues, Paul Hertz, NASA’s Chief Scientist in our Science Mission Directorate; and Leland Melvin, our Associate Administrator for Education and a former astronaut. Paul and Leland will speak more about the amazing scientific and educational value of SOFIA, but let me just tell you that this project is a key component of NASA’s science objectives. 2 It will help us zoom in close on some of the most fundamental questions of the universe: Where did we come from? How was our solar system formed? And what else is out there? It is fitting that SOFIA means “wisdom” in Greek.

  • Abstract #1643
    1/20/2017 CIM | TPMS | Abstract #1643 English Proving and Improving Martian Mining ISRU technology in Hawai`i The island of Hawai`i has been the stage for the only NASA ISRU field tests in 2008, 2010 and 2012. Focused on lunar ISRU and the RESOLVE/Resource Prospector Mission, much can be learned and developed from these experiences as applied to Martian ISRU. Hawaiian tephra has proven geochemical similarities to Mars, and also is the source of the geotechnical NASAJSC1A Mars Simulant. Hawaii is ideal for long term facilities/equipment testing and operational models needed prior to extended human missions to Mars.

PISCES later was spun off as a State Agency, where John serves in the dual role of Education/Public Outreach and Logistics manager.

Since that time, NASA has begun lander design and refine the concept of operations. Of the process of developing concepts of operations and launch particular importance will be understanding how long each campaign options to achieve that goal as well as to provide a sustainable human presence on the Moon. Whereas the Apollo lunar lander element will be in space and how long the program utilized one Saturn V rocket to carry out a single lunar integrated lander will have to wait in lunar orbit prior to the landing mission of short duration, NASA’s preliminary plans arrival of Orion and the crew. for the Artemis Program call for a combination of medium lift class rockets along with the heavy lift Space Launch System 2.

  • Space Act Agreement Between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Moon Express Inc. for Lunar Catalyst Article 1
    SPACE ACT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION AND MOON EXPRESS INC. FOR LUNAR CATALYST ARTICLE 1. AUTHORITY AND PARTIES In accordance with the National Aeronautics and Space Act (51 U.S.C. § 20113), this Agreement is entered into by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, located at 300 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20546 (hereinafter referred to as "NASA") and Moon Express, Inc. located at 100 Space Port Way, Cape Canaveral, Florida 32920 (hereinafter referred to as "Partner" or "Moon Express"). NASA and Partner may be individually referred to as a "Party" and collectively referred to as the "Parties." ARTICLE 2. PURPOSE This agreement is an amended version of Space Act Agreement #18251, which went into effect on September 30, 2014. NASA recognizes that private-sector investment in technologies intended to enable commercial lunar activities has been increasing. In addition to recognizing these activities NASA wants to encourage and enable commercial successes to cultivate the increased innovation and entrepreneurship in the commercial space transportation sector. The “Lunar Cargo Transportation and Landing by Soft Touchdown” (Lunar CATALYST) initiative, is consistent with the National Space Transportation Policy. Per this policy, NASA is “committed to encouraging and facilitating a viable, healthy, and competitive U.S. Commercial space transportation industry”. This initiative also supports the internationally shared space exploration goals of the Global Exploration Roadmap (GER) that NASA and 11 other space agencies around the world released in August 2013. The GER acknowledges the value of public-private partnerships and commercial services to enable sustainable exploration of asteroids, the Moon and Mars.

  • Photo Release -- Commercial Space Industry Works with NASA and Creates Tech Jobs in Silicon Valley
    Photo Release -- Commercial Space Industry Works With NASA and Creates Tech Jobs in Silicon Valley NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver Looks to Commercial Space Industry to Support Agency Objectives, Visits Space Systems/Loral in Palo Alto, Calif. PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 1, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) today announced that Lori Garver, Deputy Administrator of NASA, and John Celli, President of Space Systems/Loral, met on July 29 to discuss commercial space industry capabilities and continuing job creation. Ms. Garver toured SS/L's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Palo Alto, Calif., where satellites for direct-to-home television (DTH), consumer broadband, and satellite radio are regularly designed, built and launched into space in two to three years from start to finish. A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=10073 NASA continues to partner with companies such as Space Systems/Loral to help strengthen U.S. leadership in space while at the same time stimulating job growth in careers related to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Space Systems/Loral, the world's leading provider of commercial satellites, is currently working with NASA Ames to provide the propulsion system for the Lunar Atmosphere Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft. The propulsion system is based on a space-proven SS/L design that has been reconfigured to take a small spacecraft to the moon. When launched, NASA's LADEE spacecraft will study the moon's thin atmosphere and dust above the lunar surface. The propulsion system and structure that is being built by SS/L is a variant of the mission critical system Pete Worden, NASA Ames Center Director; Lori used over many years on SS/L's geostationary satellites.
