☆ Boeing Carries NASA Astronauts to Orbit in ‘Milestone’ Starliner Flight
  + stars: | 2024-06-05 | by ( Kenneth Chang | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
After two trips to the launchpad that did not end up going to space, two NASA astronauts finally headed to orbit on Wednesday in a vehicle built by Boeing, the aerospace giant. Boeing is now set to also provide that service, but a series of costly delays repeatedly kept astronauts from flying the company’s vehicle earlier. SpaceX, once seen as an upstart, has flown 13 crews to orbit in total. The long awaited flight of the Boeing vehicle is the latest step in NASA’s efforts to rely more heavily on the private sector for its human spaceflight program. “This is another milestone in this extraordinary history of NASA,” Bill Nelson, the NASA administrator said during a news conference after the launch.

☆ NASA Seeks ‘Hail Mary’ for Its Mars Rocks Return Mission
  + stars: | 2024-04-15 | by ( Kenneth Chang | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
The cost of a proposed NASA mission to gather rocks on Mars and return them to Earth is spiraling upward and slipping further into the future. So on Monday, space agency officials asked for ideas on simplifying the mission and trimming its price tag. “The bottom line is that $11 billion is too expensive,” Bill Nelson, the NASA administrator, said during a news conference on Monday. “And not returning samples until 2040 is unacceptably too long.”The mission, known as Mars Sample Return, is central to the search for signs that life may have existed on the red planet. NASA had hoped that Mars Sample Return would cost $5 billion to $7 billion, and that the rocks would arrive on Earth in 2033.

☆ Ingenuity, the NASA Helicopter Flying Over Mars, Ends Its Mission
  + stars: | 2024-01-25 | by ( Kenneth Chang | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Ingenuity, the little Mars helicopter that could, can’t anymore. At least one rotor broke during the robotic flying machine’s most recent flight last week, NASA officials announced on Thursday. Ingenuity remains in contact with its companion, the Perseverance rover, which has been exploring a dried-up riverbed for signs of extinct Martian life. Ingenuity arrived on Mars in the undercarriage of the Perseverance rover in February 2021. “They can rely on what we’ve accomplished,” Theodore Tzanetos, the Ingenuity project manager, said in a news conference on Thursday evening.

☆ NASA Announces New Job: U.F.O. Research Director
  + stars: | 2023-09-14 | by ( Kenneth Chang | More About Kenneth Chang | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A report released on Thursday by a panel convened by NASA does not attempt to provide a definitive answer to that question. Instead, it proposes a bigger role for the space agency in collecting and interpreting data on “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or U.A.P. In response, the space agency announced that it had appointed a director of U.A.P. “NASA will do this work transparently for the benefit of humanity,” Bill Nelson, the NASA administrator, said in a news release. NASA officials said that part of the reason for keeping the identity secret was the harassment and threats received by panel members during the period of the study.

Illustration: Jordan KranseSpaceX believes it can repair damage to the launchpad used for its first Starship flight and will be ready to fly a second rocket by early summer, the leader of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said. “It blew a hole in that launchpad,” Bill Nelson, the agency’s administrator, told lawmakers at a House Science Committee hearing on Thursday, referring to SpaceX’s inaugural Starship flight on April 20.
