25 Years On, Chandra Highlights Legacy of NASA Engineering Ingenuity
By Rick Smith The art of aerospace engineering is a matter of seeing around corners, said NASA thermal analyst Jodi Turk. In the case of NASAs Chandra X-ray Observatory, marking its 25th anniversary in space this year, some of those corners proved to be as far as 80,000 miles away and a quarter-century in the 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/missi...#nasa #space #news #nasa_general #nasa_aeronautics #nasa_flight_innovation #nasa_green_aviation_tech #nasa_nasa_aircraft #nasa_climate_change #nasa_earth #nasa_earth 's_atmosphere #nasa_greenhouse_gases #nasa_iss_research #nasa_commercial_resupply #nasa_expedition_71 #nasa_humans_in_space #nasa_kennedy_space_center #nasa_heliophysics #nasa_science_ &_research #nasa_uncategorized #nasa_citizen_science #nasa_space_biology
