NASA Parachute Sensor Testing Could Make EPIC Mars Landings
Landing rovers and helicopters on Mars is a challenge. Its an even bigger challenge when you dont have enough information about how the parachutes are enduring strain during the descent to the surface. Researchers at NASAs Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, are experimenting with readily available, highly elastic sensors that can be fixed 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/cente...#nasa #space #news #nasa_ames_research_center #nasa_nebulae #nasa_protostars #nasa_stars #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_artemis #nasa_general #nasa_next_gen_stem #nasa_mars_odyssey #nasa_deimos #nasa_mars #nasa_mars_moons #nasa_phobos #nasa_citizen_science #nasa_community_partners #nasa_science_activation #nasa_earth 's_atmosphere #nasa_heliophysics #nasa_ionosphere #nasa_the_sun #nasa_iss_research #nasa_missions #nasa_nasa_history

Hubble Captures Infant Stars Transforming a Nebula
This NASAESA160;Hubble Space Telescope160;image presents a visually striking collection of interstellar gas and dust. Named RCW 7, the nebula is located just over 5,300 light-years from Earth in the constellation Puppis. Nebulae160;are areas rich in the raw material needed to form new stars. Under the influence of gravity, parts of these molecular clouds collapse until 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/image...#nasa #space #news #nasa_ames_research_center #nasa_nebulae #nasa_protostars #nasa_stars #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_artemis #nasa_general #nasa_next_gen_stem #nasa_mars_odyssey #nasa_deimos #nasa_mars #nasa_mars_moons #nasa_phobos #nasa_citizen_science #nasa_community_partners #nasa_science_activation #nasa_earth 's_atmosphere #nasa_heliophysics #nasa_ionosphere #nasa_the_sun #nasa_iss_research #nasa_missions #nasa_nasa_history
