NASA and Aerojet Rocketdyne have completed the final hot-fire test of an engine technology the company developed for use on the Space Launch System rocket. The eighth RS-25 engine test this year occurred at NASA’s Stennis Space in Mississippi and evaluated the performance of an engine component produced using a three-dimensional printing method, the space agency said Wednesday. The 3D-printed pogo […] More
NASA has funded the launch of an Orbital Medicine-built space medical technology aboard Blue Origin‘s New Shepard reusable space vehicle on Tuesday. The Evolved Medical Microgravity Suction Device is designed to help treat chest trauma in a space environment, NASA said Thursday. Treatment of astronauts’ traumatic injuries currently needs to be performed on Earth using gravity-dependent tools that […] More
A-P-T Research has secured a potential five-year, $52 million contract to provide safety and mission assurance support services to NASA‘s Washington headquarters. The company will also provide similar services to the agency’s Kennedy Space Center and other facilities that host KSC-backed programs and projects, NASA said Wednesday. SMASS III tasks also include risk assessments, inspections, investigations, engineering analyses […] More
Maxar Technologies‘ SSL subsidiary will collaborate with a team at NASA‘s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of Michigan to carry out a space mission to study the sun. SSL said Monday the Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment aims to launch a small satellite constellation designed to explore how solar energetic particles are accelerated and emitted into interplanetary […] 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 has shipped the next weather satellite in the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite–R series to a company facility in Titusville, Florida, to undergo final processing and pre-launch preparation. GOES-S, the second of four satellites in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration‘s GOES-R constellation, is scheduled for March 1 liftoff atop United Launch Alliance‘s Atlas V 541 rocket at […] More
NASA has awarded three companies $10.2 million in total grants to develop ground-based prototypes of a multimaterial fabrication laboratory. Interlog, Techshot and Tethers Unlimited will aim to deliver the prototypes within an 18-month period as part of the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships initiative, NASA said Friday. The agency plans to select partners to further mature resulting […] More
An Orbital ATK-built spacecraft will begin to deploy cubesats in orbit and return to Earth’s atmosphere following the platform’s departure from the International Space Station. Orbital ATK said Thursday the Cygnus cargo delivery system dubbed as S.S. Gene Cernan supports the OA-8 mission which marks the fourth time the spacecraft dropped off NanoRacks cubesats in […] More
NASA looks to enter public-private partnerships with U.S. companies in a push to address technology and capability requirements for government and commercial space missions. The space agency said Tuesday its space technology mission directorate will provide funds for the “Utilizing Public-Private Partnerships to Advance Tipping Point Technologies” initiative that seeks to address the directorate’s strategic thrust […] More
NASA wants proposals from potential industry partners that can help develop technologies for resource production and processing in deep space destinations such as the Moon and Mars. The space agency said Tuesday it aims to achieve Technology Readiness Level 5 or 6 for platforms that can extract and process oxygen, water and methane fuel in deep […] More
Lisa Colloredo, deputy program manager for NASA’s commercial crew program, has said Boeing and SpaceX should be able to meet the agency’s safety requirements as they prepare to enter the flight testing phase for their commercial crew spacecraft over the next year, Space News reported Monday. Colloredo said at the Wednesday meeting of the NASA Advisory […] More
NASA has reported that EnerSys‘ advanced systems business and SEAKR Engineering respectively manufacture lithium-ion batteries and space-qualified electronics for the Orion spacecraft. EnerSys and SEAKR are two of the 250 businesses that operate in Colorado and support the agency’s deep-space exploration programs, NASA said Tuesday. Lockheed Martin is building the Orion crew vehicle as the program’s prime contractor. EnerSys’ Longmont facility […] More
