Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory has incorporated a propulsion technology built by NASA into a spacecraft designed to support the agency's demonstration of its first planetary defense capability.
The Lockheed Martin-built Orion spacecraft is scheduled to arrive at an Ohio-based NASA remote testing facility Tuesday to undergo a series of space environment simulation tests. Lockheed, Airbus and the U.S. and European space agencies will collaborate on the two-phase testing effort.
NASA's Glenn Research Center seeks market information regarding facility construction efforts at Lewis Field and Plum Brook Station facilities. Contractors would provide architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, plumbing, heat ventilation, air conditioning, electrical, instrumentation and demolition services at the facilities located in Cleveland and Sandusky, Ohio, NASA said Monday in a FedBizOpps notice.
The Airbus-built service module for NASA's uncrewed Lockheed Martin-built Orion spacecraft has arrived at Kennedy Space Center to undergo a series of tests and integration work in preparation for the Exploration Mission-1 program. NASA said Tuesday its engineers will assess the service module's elements, connect fluid lines for gases, and fuel and fasten electrical wirings together before […] More
Walsh Construction Company II has received a potential two-year, $32.7 million contract to build a research support building at NASA‘s Glenn Research Center. The company will construct a two-story, 64,000-square-foot facility designed to accommodate up to 164 employees and feature open offices, private offices, conference and engineering rooms, engineering rooms and dining areas, NASA said […] More
Janet Kavandi, director of NASA's Glenn Research Center, has said a SpaceX-built spacecraft has left the agency's Ohio-based Plum Brook Station for Florida following the completion of a series of acoustics and thermal vacuum tests, SpaceNews reported Monday. Kavandi issued the statement Monday at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics' Propulsion and Energy Forum. […] More
Leidos has received a potential five-year, $35.3 million contract to provide operational safety, occupational health, mission assurance services at NASA‘s Glenn Research Center. The company will also help manage the center’s safety and mission assurance directorate manage aeronautics and space flight systems and ground support equipment programs. NASA said Wednesday. The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract contains a 45-day […] More
NASA looks to use cognitive radios to meet increased demand for space data and optimize the efficiency of space communications systems. The agency said Saturday software-defined radios such as cognitive radios apply artificial intelligence to utilize unused but licensed portions of the electromagnetic spectrum without human intervention. Cognitive radios could also address communications challenges posed by the space […] More
Lockheed Martin and Spike Aerospace are among the companies that submitted proposals to NASA in September to build a full-scale demonstrator of a supersonic passenger jet, Popular Mechanics reported Monday. The bids come as NASA works to complete wind-tunnel tests on a 15-percent-scale model of the Quiet Supersonic Technology X-plane at Langley Research Center in Virginia. […] More
NASA has started to perform wind-tunnel tests on a small-scale model of a supersonic passenger jet at the space agency's Langley Research Center in Virginia, the Daily Press reported Thursday. Langley researchers have begun to subject the 15-percent-scale model of the Quiet Supersonic Technology X-plane to slower wind speeds at Langley’s subsonic wind tunnel in order […] More
