What will it take to find life beyond Earth? Scientists need telescopes that are more stable than anything we’ve ever built before. NASA is teaming up with the company ALLVAR to test a unique material that counteracts the way other spacecraft materials expand and contract with temperature changes. This innovation could help create ultra-stable telescopes powerful enough to detect the faint signatures of life on distant worlds. Partnerships like these not only advance space exploration but also drive innovation here on Earth. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dMJkSsuq

Our mission operations director Abhishek Tripathi spoke with KTVU on the upcoming Carruthers Geocorona Observatory launch next week. Carruthers will image Earth's exosphere—the outermost layer of the atmosphere and one of our defenses against harmful space weather. Carruthers will be the first mission to image the exosphere in-depth.

I got a chance to go on KTVU 2 this morning and share (with the Bay Area) all about our Space Sciences Laboratory's upcoming NASA Carruthers mission. It will be operated from our Mission Operations Center right above the University of California, Berkeley campus. The launch will be the morning of Sept 23rd out of Cape Canaveral, on an SpaceX Falcon 9: https://lnkd.in/gCvwCfYv

Starlab Space has selected Louisiana-based Vivace Corporation to manufacture the primary structure for its next-generation commercial space station. The large-scale aluminum structure will be built at Vivace’s New Orleans facility with support from NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF). This milestone underscores Louisiana’s role in advancing the future of human spaceflight. Starlab, designed as NASA’s most capable Commercial LEO Destination, will carry forward the legacy of the International Space Station by providing continuous access to low-Earth orbit for research, technology, and commercial applications.

Successful #NASA IMAP Mission Launch - with Bernese collaboration! 🚀 Earlier today, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration launched three new observatories to study the sun. Among them was the #IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) mission, which is dedicated to exploring the outer limits of the heliosphere, the protective bubble of solar wind in which our solar system is located. Researchers from the Space Research and Planetary Sciences Division at the University of Bern contributed to the development of two IMAP instruments. Read the complete press release on the collaboration here: https://lnkd.in/ejqyMFfN Michela A. Gargano and Peter Wurz were on site at the #KennedySpaceCenter for the launch today. Congratulations on the successful launch!

Dan Goldin Is Right: Asteroid Mining Shapes Our Future 🌌 Dan Goldin, former NASA chief, nails it: asteroid mining is reality now. Near-Earth asteroids hold trillions in platinum, rare earths, and water, fueling green tech and space exploration. Here’s who’s leading the charge: 1. AstroForge (USA) Launches Vestri in Oct 2025 to mine a metallic asteroid, targeting 1-2 tons of platinum-group metals with Safran DSI propulsion. 2. TransAstra (USA) Pioneers “optical mining” to extract water for propellant, leveraging NASA-backed CLIMB tech to slash mission costs. 3. Karman+ (USA) Secures $20M in 2025 to refine asteroid metals in orbit, supplying batteries and space habitats. 4. Asteroid Mining Corporation Ltd (UK) Prepares a 2026 prospecting satellite, using AI-driven robotics to map and mine NEAs. Goldin’s vision of space resources solving Earth’s scarcity unfolds, with a $1T market projected by 2030. Legal and tech challenges remain, but these trailblazers prove he’s right. What’s your take on this cosmic gold rush? 🚀 #AsteroidMining #SpaceEconomy #Innovation
Are near Earth asteroids the answer to building America’s critical supply chains and wealth opportunities? Dan Goldin, 9th administrator (1992-2001) for NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and co-creator Per Aspera, will share his insights at Economist Impact’s Space Economy Summit in Orlando, November 5th-6th. Register for your place and engage in real discussions shaping the next phase of growth for the global space economy. ⬇️ Full agenda and registration details ⬇️ http://econimpact.co/141 #EconImpactSpace #CommercialSpace #UCF #NASA
