Esta madrugada del día 13 de agosto tenemos la lluvia de meteoros Perseidas, la cual proviene de los rastros de polvo y rocas que deja tras de si el cometa Swift-Tuttle. Se espera que tenga una actividad de 100 meteoros por hora, aprovechando que la luna esta en un 24% de iluminosidas, la visibilidad de este fenómeno será espectacular.

Las estrellas más brillantes incrustadas en nebulosas a lo largo de nuestra galaxia derraman un torrente de radiación que devora vastas nubes de gas hidrógeno, la materia prima para construir nuevas estrellas. Este proceso de grabado esculpe un paisaje de fantasía donde la imaginación humana puede ver todo tipo de formas y figuras. Esta nebulosa en la constelación de Cassiopeia tiene velos fluidos de gas y polvo que le han valido el sobrenombre de "Nebulosa Fantasma".

Oficialmente conocida como IC 63, esta nebulosa se encuentra a 550 años luz de distancia en la constelación de Cassiopeia the Queen.

Dreaming of going to space? – Astronaut Victor Glover has you covered. 

In his first video from space, take a look at our home through the window of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon “Resilience” spacecraft. Victor arrived to the International Space Station alongside his fellow Crew-1 astronauts on Nov. 16, 2020. 

This is his first trip to space and his first mission on the orbital lab!

Setting the Standards for Unmanned Aircraft

From advanced wing designs, through the hypersonic frontier, and onward into the era of composite structures, electronic flight controls, and energy efficient flight, our engineers and researchers have led the way in virtually every aeronautic development. And since 2011, aeronautical innovators from around the country have been working on our Unmanned Aircraft Systems integration in the National Airspace System, or UAS in the NAS, project.  

This project was a new type of undertaking that worked to identify, develop, and test the technologies and procedures that will make it possible for unmanned aircraft systems to have routine access to airspace occupied by human piloted aircraft. Since the start, the goal of this unified team was to provide vital research findings through simulations and flight tests to support the development and validation of detect and avoid and command and control technologies necessary for integrating UAS into the NAS.  

That interest moved into full-scale testing and evaluation to determine how to best integrate unmanned vehicles into the national airspace and how to come up with standards moving forward. Normally, 44,000 flights safely take off and land here in the U.S., totaling more than 16 million flights per year. With the inclusion of millions of new types of unmanned aircraft, this integration needs to be seamless in order to keep the flying public safe.

Working hand-in-hand, teams collaborated to better understand how these UAS’s would travel in the national airspace by using NASA-developed software in combination with flight tests. Much of this work is centered squarely on technology called detect and avoid.  One of the primary safety concerns with these new systems is the inability of remote operators to see and avoid other aircraft.  Because unmanned aircraft literally do not have a pilot on board, we have developed concepts allowing safe operation within the national airspace.  

In order to better understand how all the systems work together, our team flew a series of tests to gather data to inform the development of minimum operational performance standards for detect and avoid alerting guidance. Over the course of this testing, we gathered an enormous amount of data allowing safe integration for unmanned aircraft into the national airspace. As unmanned aircraft are becoming more ubiquitous in our world - safety, reliability, and proven research must coexist.

Every day new use case scenarios and research opportunities arise based around the hard work accomplished by this incredible workforce. Only time will tell how these new technologies and innovations will shape our world.
