Astronaut John Herrington made history when he became the first Native American in space aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour's STS-113 mission. Proudly representing the Chickasaw Nation, Herrington carried its flag and several personal items, including a traditional flute, on his trip to space. Herrington is a true inspiration and symbol of representation, resilience and exploration beyond boundaries. 🚀#NativeAmericanHeritageMonth 📸: NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

She was a great launch on a great day! Two payloads - two orbits! NEONSAT-1 will perform Earth-observation of the Korean Peninsula for KAIST, which will then pair the satellite’s data with artificial intelligence to monitor for natural disasters in the region. NEONSAT-1 is the first of 11 satellites for KAIST’s planned constellation to image the Korean Peninsula several times daily. NASA’s ACS3 technology demonstration uses composite materials - or a combination of materials with different properties, in its novel, lightweight booms that deploy from a CubeSat to support a solar sail. Just as a sailboat is powered by wind in a sail, solar sails employ the pressure of sunlight for propulsion, eliminating the need for conventional rocket propellant. Data obtained from the ACS3 demonstration will guide the design of future larger-scale composite solar sail systems that could be used for space weather early warning satellites, near-Earth asteroid reconnaissance missions, or communications relays for crewed exploration missions.
Welcome to orbit, NEONSAT-1 and NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System 🌍 Mission success for our 47th Electron launch 🚀 Thank you to our mission partners NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and KAIST. We're proud to deliver reliable and dedicated access to space for you! Missed the webcast, catch it here: https://lnkd.in/gR94EicG

Thanks to the team at NASA Ames Research Center for a great visit. Did you know our #aeronautics team is leaning forward to transform the future of airspace operations? Researchers presented the long-running efforts in aeronautics at Ames that have helped lay the foundation for NASA’s work related to #wildfire response. These include a project to help integrate #drones into the airspace with Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management, their application to disaster response with the Scalable Traffic Management for Emergency Response Operations project, and how those informed NASA’s newest effort to make wildfire response more targeted and adaptable. The research and models the team are building today are enabling that future. #nasa #research #technology #unmannedaircraft
NASA Deputy Associate Administrator Casey Swails came to see the Airspace Operations Laboratory at our Silicon Valley center. Learn how our diverse, long-running efforts in aeronautics have helped lay the foundation for wildfire response work at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration: https://lnkd.in/gkx4hRfc

REYGITONIUM-G MR. MS. TEEFEY & SELENA GOMEZ-RARE-SUPERSTAR. TCI GALLERY SPRING 2024 THEMES. CRYPTOCURRENCY & REYGITONIUM-G TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY: REYGITONIUM-G I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS OF TODAY BLAME USA GOVERNMENT. THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.? NO. GOD KNOWS HEADACHES USA GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD PRACTICALLY SHOCK TO WITNESS. PEOPLE ONLY WORKING TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL. "IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." THUS DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS. THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE. ARE YOU.? HOMELESS.. AN OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD. The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets like factories, mines, and railroads can be privately owned and controlled. https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 GOOGLE EXAMPLE, IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR MORE SO LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS.

THEREFORE IF A CRYPTO HOMELESS CURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G EXISTED IT'S MORE HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE HOMELESS PROBLEM CAN BE VANQUISHED BECAUSE CURRENCY-FINANCES IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO BE TAPPED INTO FOR HOMELESS RESOLUTIONS. REYGITONIUM-G: EACH COUNTRY GOVERNMENT INITIAL $1-DOLLAR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO OF 8-BILLION EARTH CITIZENS. THEREAFTER GLOBALLY ANYBODY CAN INVEST IN THE CRYPTOCURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G. OR CONTINUE HIDING THE HOMELESS WHEN A POLITICAL LEADER VISITS AMERICA. CLOSING COMMENT: THE DAMNEDEST CRAZIEST FUNNIEST EMBARRASSING ABOUT THE HOMELESS CHAOS IS ANY EXCUSE AS TO WHY HOMELESS EXIST. HENCEFORTH CONSIDER USA TRILLIONS IN DEBT & 6,120 HOSPITALS SCATTERED AROUND THE USA & MANY COUNTRIES ASKING FOR FOREIGN AID IN THE TRILLIONS & YOU TALKING EXCUSES.

why is it that China can rover and sample return while @NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration cancels as such? the simple reason is that @NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration seeks guidance direction and inspiration from the wrong NASA Administrator.

👀 If you know where to look, and look very carefully, you can see the Odysseus lander (on its side) in this photo from the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. And isn’t it something that, "Odysseus continues to communicate with flight controllers in Nova Control from the lunar surface,” according to Intuitive Machines. 🌖 Hint: it's near the center of the image. I'll put the exact location in the first comment.
