Deep Space Tracker — Live Solar System Map | Orbital Radar

Track 20+ deep space missions in real time on an interactive 3D solar system map. Voyager, JWST, Tesla Roadster, Parker Solar Probe and more.

🐭🚀Mice from #OuterSpace: New preprint by Kiffer et al. applies #SLEAP pose tracking and #DeepEthogram behavioral segmentation to archival mouse videos from #NASA’s Rodent Research-1 mission aboard the #ISS đŸ›°ïž

Turns out: In #microgravity, mice reorganize behavior fast. They cluster for rest, launch themselves across the cage, and develop acrobatic looping movements as they adapt to orbital life đŸ’«

Pioneer of Change: America Reyes Wang Makes NASA Space Biology More Open - NASA Science

As humans return to the Moon and push on toward Mars, scientists are ramping up research into the effects of space on the body to make sure astronauts stay healthy on longer missions. This research often involves spaceflight studies of rodents, insects, and other models in orbiting laboratories such as the International Space Station. However, [

NASA Sends More Science to Space, More Strides for Future Exploration - NASA Science

Biological and physical investigations aboard the Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply mission NG-21 included experiments studying the impacts of zero gravity on grass, how packed bed reactors could improve water purification both in space and on Earth, and observations on new rounds of samples that will allow scientists to learn more about the characteristics of different materials as they change phases on the tiniest of scales.

Seed Funding Proposals Due November 19 This Year! - NASA Science

Since 2020, NASA’s Citizen Science Seed Funding Program (CSSFP) has launched 24 new projects to expand citizen science in professional research. This year, proposals are due by November 19, 2024, with optional Notices of Intent by October 1, 2024. The planning start date is May 1, 2025. Current grant recipients can request a No Cost Extension, but must submit requests more than 10 days before the grant’s end date. NASA looks forward to new proposals and supporting citizen science projects.

International Space Station Welcomes Trio of Experiments Focused on Enhancing Life Beyond Earth - NASA Science

NASA’s Biological and Physical Sciences Division is sending three physical sciences and space biology experiments and equipment to the International Space Station aboard Northrop Grumman’s 20th commercial resupply services mission. These experiments aim to pioneer scientific discovery, enable sustainable deep space exploration, and support transformative engineering.
