Do NASA Science Live Event
On April 10, NASA will host a special event, “Do NASA Science Live: All Hands on Deck Towards One Million Acts of Science,” aimed at service members, veterans, and their families. This virtual event promises to be an engaging and informative experience, and Unionjournalism will provide coverage of the event.
Stay tuned for more updates on NASA’s upcoming events and missions, and follow Unionjournalism for in-depth analysis and insights.
NASA’s New Frontier: Exploring Venus
NASA is set to explore Venus in the 2030s with the VERITAS and DAVINCI missions. These spacecraft will be the first to visit the planet since the 1990s, and will provide valuable insights into the planet’s atmosphere and geology.
VERITAS, short for Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy, will study the planet’s surface and subsurface, while DAVINCI, short for Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble Gases, Chemistry, and Imaging, will focus on the planet’s atmosphere.
These missions will help scientists better understand the planet’s extreme environment and provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of our solar system.
Martian Dust Devils
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has been capturing stunning footage of Martian dust devils, which play a significant role in the planet’s weather patterns. These whirlwinds are responsible for about half of the dust in the Martian atmosphere and indicate atmospheric conditions, such as prevailing wind directions and speed.
The rover’s observations have provided valuable insights into the Martian environment and will help scientists better understand the planet’s geology and climate.
Special Events and In-Flight Events
Unionjournalism invites you to join NASA for a series of exciting events, including a virtual experience and in-flight events featuring astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS).
Do NASA Science Live: All Hands on Deck Towards One Million Acts of Science
On April 10, NASA will host a special virtual event, “Do NASA Science Live: All Hands on Deck Towards One Million Acts of Science,” designed specifically for service members, veterans, and their families. This event aims to promote STEM education and encourage participation in NASA’s science initiatives.
The virtual event will be streamed on NASA+, the agency’s new, free streaming platform, at 12:30 p.m. EST. Unionjournalism encourages all eligible participants to join this unique opportunity to engage with NASA’s science community and learn about the latest developments in space exploration.
ISS Expedition 72 Educational In-Flight Event
On April 11, NASA will host an educational in-flight event featuring astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers on the ISS. The event will be streamed on NASA+ at 1 p.m. EST and will provide a unique opportunity for students to learn about life on the ISS and the importance of STEM education.
ISS Expedition 72 In-Flight Event for KOIN-TV, Portland
On April 16, NASA will host an in-flight event for KOIN-TV, Portland, featuring astronaut Don Pettit on the ISS. The event will be streamed on NASA+ at 10:25 a.m. EST and will provide a behind-the-scenes look at life on the ISS and the latest developments in space exploration.
NASA Spacecraft and Missions
NASA is currently working on several exciting spacecraft and missions, including the VERITAS and DAVINCI missions to Venus and the Perseverance Mars rover.
VERITAS and DAVINCI: Exploring Venus
NASA’s VERITAS and DAVINCI missions will be the first spacecraft to explore Venus since the 1990s. The VERITAS mission is scheduled to launch no earlier than 2031 and will focus on studying the planet’s surface and subsurface. The DAVINCI mission will study the planet’s atmosphere and provide insights into the planet’s geological history.
Both missions will provide valuable insights into the planet’s unique environment and will help scientists better understand the formation and evolution of our solar system.
Martian Dust Devils: A Key to Understanding Martian Weather Patterns
On January 25, NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover captured a unique scene of a Martian dust devil consuming a smaller one. The image provides valuable insights into the role of dust devils in Martian weather patterns.
“Dust devils play a significant role in Martian weather patterns,” said Katie Stack Morgan, project scientist for the Perseverance rover at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “Dust devil study is important because these phenomena indicate atmospheric conditions, such as prevailing wind directions and speed, and are responsible for about half the dust in the Martian atmosphere.”
The study of Martian dust devils is crucial to understanding the planet’s unique environment and will help scientists better understand the geological history of Mars.
