Supa-flying to Venus! For the first time, a hip-hop song has been transmitted #OutOfThisWorld. Missy Elliott's "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" traveled 158 million miles to Venus through NASA's Deep Space Network from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Deep Space Station 13 in California: https://lnkd.in/ePP299YB

About us
For more than 60 years, NASA has been breaking barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible—from walking on the Moon to pushing the boundaries of human spaceflight farther than ever before. We work in space and around the world in laboratories and wind tunnels, on airfields and in control rooms to explore some of life’s fundamental mysteries: What’s out there in space? How do we get there? And what can we learn that will make life better here on Earth? We are passionate professionals united by a common purpose: to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research. Today, we continue NASA’s legacy of excellence and innovation through an unprecedented array of missions. We are developing the most advanced rockets and spacecraft ever designed, studying the Earth for answers to critical challenges facing our planet, improving the air transportation experience, and so much more. Join us as we reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humanity.

We're celebrating two years of science for our James Webb Space Telescope! 🎉 On July 12, 2022, we shared Webb's first full-color images with the world; since then, the largest telescope ever launched into space has been studying the earliest galaxies in the universe, peering into exoplanet atmospheres, and tracking the beginnings of planetary systems with infrared light. This second anniversary image shows two interacting galaxies called the Penguin (NGC 2936) and the Egg (NGC 2937), entwined in a cosmic dance as the pair slowly merge together.

Scientists at NASA's Ames Research Center have leveraged machine learning and quantum computing to develop a model that can detect flight operation anomalies on aircraft, potentially avoiding serious future incidents. In a recent project, the researchers developed a new model that uses deep learning; integrating this model with quantum computing can potentially improve and accelerate machine learning through the statistical sampling of energy-based distributions.

“We’re very hopeful that if we can learn how to develop approaches and technologies to be able to live sustainably off the Earth, then we can apply a lot of those to living on the Earth.” Dr. Gioia Massa works with NASA’s Vegetable Production System, which has successfully grown a variety of plants aboard the International Space Station to help us learn how to provide astronauts with nutrient-rich food.

When astronauts live and work on the Moon, they'll have to deal with lunar dust—which isn't just a breathing hazard, but can also cause visibility issues for both people and machines. A team of engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center are working on a solution: the Instantaneous Clarity of Ambient Environment Capability (ICAN-C) project, which uses artificial intelligence to effectively remove dust and small particle debris from optical systems in real time. ICAN-C also has potential applications outside of space, such as helicopter landings, underwater operations, and other areas that require visual clarity.

Employees from NASA's Kennedy Space Center were recently recognized at the Presidential Federal Sustainability Awards for their work in expanding NASA's sustainable electric vehicle fleet at Kennedy: https://lnkd.in/gCc8WTKD "The team found a way to help NASA take one step closer toward a future of net-zero carbon emissions," said Janet Petro, the director of Kennedy Space Center. "We're proud of how they created a model for other NASA centers and federal government agencies to follow, leaving a cleaner environment for all of us to enjoy."

Picture it: Astronauts living on the Moon or Mars in homes created from fungi. This is the vision Lynn Rothschild's team has for future, more sustainable space habitats. With her new NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts award, she will continue her work on using fungi to grow structures off-planet. https://lnkd.in/eNphwZJU
