It’s been 52 years since humans first walked on the lunar surface. Now, space agencies like NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) are preparing for new missions to deepen our understanding of the Moon, with the possibility of establishing a permanent lunar base. 🌕 In this month’s blog, we focus on Moon exploration and highlight the optical technologies driving the next generation of lunar missions. 🔭 From cameras and imaging systems to LiDAR and Raman Spectroscopy, a variety of optical technologies are playing a crucial role in capturing imagery, collecting data, and detecting minerals, water, and ice on the Moon. 🧊 Read our latest blog here: https://bit.ly/3zWmME0 #OpticalComponents #KnightOptical #Optics #NASA #Space

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration news flash! This is K2-18b, a potentially habitable planet covered with oceans and about 2.6 times the size of Earth. The #NASA #JWST detects liquid water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane in its magnetic atmosphere and the M Class Planet lies within the golden "Goldilocks" habitable zone that is just right for intelligent life to thrive. Let's send Von Neumann Probes ASAP and aim the SETI Institute radio receiver dishes 📡 to get messages across Time and Relative Dimension in Space now. #TARDIS

💥 Recommended Post: How do we interstellar to get to K2-18b, or should we call it Earth 2x? I image a wormhole ride would be a super stellar experience. On a serious note however, the best way for us humans to experience these earth like exoplanets could be through simulated quantum dreaming in the very near future I’m guessing. For instance if Nvidia can be utilized to create a digital earth twin, then shouldn’t it be able to simulate K2-18b as well, or any other Goldilocks exoplanet? Then that opens up a variety of ways to experience them either through Apple Vision, or better real experience through Neauralink in REM Sleep downloaded!! We are in a 4th Industrial Novacene, where all these extreme possibilities open up for consumption over the next 5 to 50 years.

Why is NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration launching sounding rockets during the #eclipse? 🤔 During the solar eclipse, the APEP mission will study disturbances in the electrified region of Earth’s atmosphere known as the ionosphere that can impact satellite communications. To do this, #NASA will launch three sounding rockets at specific times into the ionosphere. Each sounding rocket will eject four secondary payloads the size of a two-liter soda bottle that will also take measurements during the flight. It's like launching fifteen rockets, while only launching three. The APEP mission launched during the October 2023 annular eclipse. During this mission, scientists saw a sharp reduction in the density of charged particles capable of affecting communications as the eclipse shadow passed over. The team will compare data from both missions. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/euJjmKz2 The launches are scheduled for Monday, April 8, beginning at 2:40 p.m. EDT and will be livestreamed to the Wallops YouTube channel.

Bringing the ISS back to Earth! NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration has awarded SpaceX an $843 million contract to develop the United States Deorbit Vehicle (USDV). This vehicle will be responsible for safely guiding the International Space Station (ISS) back to Earth around 2030. The decision comes after NASA deemed a controlled deorbit the safest and most viable option, rejecting alternatives like disassembly or commercial handover. While the ISS is currently slated for retirement in 2030, NASA has included provisions for potential extensions, allowing the USDV to remain grounded until the mid-2030s if needed. The USDV program's cost is estimated at $1.5 billion, a figure reflecting the complexity of safely deorbiting a structure the size of a football stadium. #SpaceX #NASA #ISS

On total solar eclipse days there's even *less* sunlight available to our satellites' solar panels...so we asked our Flight Dynamicists and Spacecraft Analysts: how do these rare events change the approach to flying our satellites? 🤔🛰️☀️ Here's the scoop: ▶️ Every day our satellites experience Earth's shadow for approximately 40-50 minutes ▶️ Ahead of an eclipse, our Flight Dynamicists prepare predictions for our Satellite Control Center on eclipse entry, exit, duration and sun fraction ▶️ Our Spacecraft Analysts then confirm our satellites are ready to handle a double-eclipse day by making sure they have enough power — newer satellites handle the eclipse automatically on board Viasat’s lightweight satellite terminals will enable livestream video from NASA's WB-57F aircraft.
