NASA educational booklet on space science, spacecraft, and planetary exploration
The Microgravity Science and Applications Div. (MSAD) of the NASA Office of Space Science and Applications (OSSA) is responsible for encouraging and directing the research of a wide range of physical phenomena in reduced gravity. Under MSAD's direction, NASA-Lewis is presently developing the concept of a multiuser facility which will perform combustion science experiments in space. This facility, the Combustion Experiment Module (CEM), will be located in either the Shuttle Spacelab or the Space Station Freedom lab and will be operational by mid-1997. In addition to standard instrumentation to measure temperature, pressure, and acceleration, CEM shall use a variety of imaging and optical diagnostic techniques. Images shall be the primary source of experimental data. These images create an enormous amount of data which must be archived on orbit for later analysis. Also, ground based investigators will require enough data from the orbiting facility to determine if the experimental parameters need to be changed before proceeding with the next run. The storage and transmission of this data present a major challenge to the CEM design. Data compression will play a major role in the design of the CEM diagnostics system.

Nanotechnology is the art and science of building materials and devices at the ultimate level of finesse: atom by atom. Our nation's space program has needs for miniaturization of components, minimization of weight and maximization of performance, and nanotechnology will help us get there. MSFC - Engineering Directorate (ED) is committed to developing nanotechnology that will enable MSFC missions in space transportation, space science and space optics manufacturing. MSFC-ED has a dedicated group of technologists who are currently developing high pay-off nanotechnology concepts. This poster presentation will outline some of the concepts being developed at this time including, nanophase structural materials, carbon nanotube reinforced metal and polymer matrix composites, nanotube temperature sensors and aerogels. The poster will outline these concepts and discuss associated technical challenges in turning these concepts into real components and systems.
A summary of the European Earth Sciences Space Programme and the requirements for each gravity field mapping resulting from this programme are given. Three satellite experiments for gravity field improvement proposed to the European Space Agency in the last years are shortly characterized. One of these experiments, the low-low-SST-SLALOM experiment, based on laser interferometry for a "two target-one Spacelab telescope" configuration, is discussed in more detail. Reasons for the low-low concept selection are given and some mission aspects and a possible system concept for a compact ranging, acquisition and tracking system are presented.
NASA space science astronomy program - orbiting satellite experiments for solar, stellar, and galactic observations
Open Science is defined as “the principle and practice of making research products and processes available to all, while respecting diverse cultures, maintaining security and privacy, and fostering collaborations, reproducibility, and equity” by Federal Agencies. The CCMC has been practicing open science based on FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principle by providing access to the state-of -the art space science and space weather models to users around the world through various simulation services such as Runs-on-Request, Instant Runs, Real time runs on iSWA system. The CCMC also provides a wide range of tools and framework to help users easily utilize modeled data. One of the tools is the official NASA open-sourced software called Kamodo. Kamodo allows users to work with complex space weather models and data with little or no coding experience. Additionally, to support transparent model validation efforts, the CCMC is providing an integrated and flexible framework called CAMEL. CAMEL allows users to seamlessly compare model outputs with observational data sets. Currently, we are working on a user-friendly database of the papers and research that used CCMC services, so that the future users will have open access to previously performed research by other users and its details. In this presentation, we will show the open tools and resources provided by the CCMC. Furthermore, we will share our new efforts to support open data and open science results.
