Gravity Assist Podcast: Looking For Life in Ancient Lakes

Gravity Assist Podcast: Looking For Life in Ancient Lakes

SOURCE: NASA / Astrobiologists study ancient lakes on Earth in order to help us search for life in our solar system and beyond. Subscribe to our "Gravity Assist" podcast for this episode and more: www.nasa.gov/gravityassist As the Perseverance Rover flies toward Jezero Crater on Mars, which once hosted water, astrobiologists are interested in places on Earth that are similar to the rover landing site. Kennda Lynch, scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas, has been doing fieldwork in an ancient lake location in Utah called the Pilot Valley Playa. In this episode of Gravity Assist, she describes her recent discoveries and why she’s excited about Perseverance. She also explains how all life forms create waste products, even bacteria, that could leave tracers or “biosignatures” for scientists to detect. By looking at how microbes survive in extreme environments on Earth, scientists can explore the bigger question of how life could sustain itself on other planetary bodies like Mars and Jupiter’s moon Europa.

World's First Underwater WiFi is Set Up

Shihada's team, from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, built an underwater wireless system that they've dubbed Aqua-Fi. Aqua-Fi supports internet services, such as multimedia message sending via either LEDs or lasers. The LEDs provide a low-energy short-distance communication option, while lasers need more power but can carry data further.

CryoCube

A computer model showing CryoCube’s orbital orientation. CryoCube demonstrates on-orbit thermal management technology. Such technology has a variety of potential applications, including storing rocket propellants in space, cooling instruments to improve their signal-to-noise ratios, and supporting future cryogenic experiments in microgravity. The small satellite uses a deployable shield to block radiation from the Sun and Earth and an attitude control system to point its experiment into deep space.

What is Space Commercial Crew?

What is Space Commercial Crew?

NASA’s Commercial Crew Program is working with the American aerospace industry as companies develop and operate a new generation of spacecraft and launch systems capable of carrying crews to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station. Commercial transportation to and from the station will provide expanded utility, additional research time and broader opportunities for discovery on the orbiting laboratory. The station is a critical testbed for NASA to understand and overcome the challenges of long-duration spaceflight. As commercial companies focus on providing human transportation services to and from low-Earth orbit, NASA is freed up to focus on building spacecraft and rockets for deep space missions.

How will 5G change the way rural areas and developing economies access high-speed data?

How will 5G change the way rural areas and developing economies access high-speed data?

More than one billion homes in the world today lack a fixed internet connection. Rod Hall of Goldman Sachs Research describes how over the next decade, 5G will dramatically change the way underserved communities, like rural areas and developing economies, access high-speed data. “Everybody is talking about 5G as a technology topic, but not a lot of people think about the societal implications of 5G,” Hall says. With wireless technologies like 5G, he explains, telecom carriers can roll out the infrastructure needed to connect a home more easily than with other technologies like fiber. Ultimately, 5G will deliver more bandwidth over a wireless connection, with download speeds 2,500 times faster than existing LTE networks. Goldman Sachs Research estimates that by 2026, the total market opportunity for fixed wireless could hit $75 billion.

Ritorna la superluna in Maggio 2012

La piu grande luna dell'anno, chiamata " "supermoon," sara' la protagonista di questo fine settimana, fenomeno molto bello da vedere potrebbe pero' interferire con l'annuale doccia di meteore alla sinistra della cometa Halley. La superluna 2012 e' la piu' grande dell'anno e sara' visibile Sabato alle 11:35 p.m. EDT, ma sara' visibile anche il giorno prima e quello dopo del giorno previsto. Nello stesso momento la doccia metoritica annuale Eta Aquarid tocchera' l'apice, a detta degli scienziati della NASA.
