NASA’s CloudSat Ends Mission Peering Into the Heart of Clouds
Over the course of nearly two decades, its powerful radar provided never-before-seen details of clouds and helped advance global weather and climate predictions. CloudSat, a NASA mission that peered into hurricanes, tallied global snowfall rates, and achieved other weather and climate firsts, has ended its operations. Originally proposed as a 22-month mission, the spacecraft was 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/missi...#nasa #space #news #nasa_mars #nasa_commercial_space #nasa_robotics #nasa_technology_research #nasa_curiosity_ (rover) #nasa_heliophysics #nasa_the_solar_system #nasa_the_sun #nasa_cloudsat #nasa_climate_change #nasa_earth #nasa_earth_science #nasa_water_on_earth #nasa_juno #nasa_io #nasa_jupiter #nasa_jupiter_moons #nasa_aeronautics #nasa_drones_ &_you #nasa_mars_2020 #nasa_perseverance_ (rover) #nasa_general #nasa_spinoffs #nasa_technology_transfer #nasa_europa_clipper #nasa_europa #nasa_neowise #nasa_comets #nasa_planetary_defense

NASA’s Juno Gives Aerial Views of Mountain, Lava Lake on Io
Imagery from the solar-powered spacecraft provides close-ups of intriguing features on the hellish Jovian moon. Scientists on NASAs Juno mission to Jupiter have transformed data collected during two recent flybys of Io into animations that highlight two of the Jovian moons most dramatic features: a mountain and an almost glass-smooth lake of cooling lava.

SWOT Satellite Helps Gauge the Depth of Death Valley’s Temporary Lake
Data from the international Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission helped researchers to calculate the depth of water in this transient freshwater body. Californias Death Valley, the driest place in North America, has hosted an ephemeral lake since late 2023. A NASA-led analysis recently calculated water depths in the temporary lake over several weeks in 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/missi...#nasa #space #news #nasa_mars #nasa_commercial_space #nasa_robotics #nasa_technology_research #nasa_curiosity_ (rover) #nasa_heliophysics #nasa_the_solar_system #nasa_the_sun #nasa_cloudsat #nasa_climate_change #nasa_earth #nasa_earth_science #nasa_water_on_earth #nasa_juno #nasa_io #nasa_jupiter #nasa_jupiter_moons #nasa_aeronautics #nasa_drones_ &_you #nasa_mars_2020 #nasa_perseverance_ (rover) #nasa_general #nasa_spinoffs #nasa_technology_transfer #nasa_europa_clipper #nasa_europa #nasa_neowise #nasa_comets #nasa_planetary_defense
