November 16, 2018 MEDIA ADVISORY In Case You Missed It: A Weekly Summary of Top Content from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center
VIDEO (1:00) Rocket Science in 60 Seconds: EM-1 and the Power Needed to Get to the MoonRob Stough, payload utilization manager for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, outlines Exploration Mission-1, the first integrated flight of the SLS rocket and NASA’s Orion spacecraft, and gives an overview of the power needed to boost the rocket into space and send Orion to the Moon.
(VIDEO 5:02) Multimessenger Links to NASA’s Fermi Mission Show How Luck Favors the PreparedExplore how more than a century of scientific progress with gravitational waves, gamma rays and neutrinos has helped bring about the age of multimessenger astronomy. This video timeline explores the historical progress of research into three cosmic messengers -- gravitational waves, gamma rays and neutrinos -- that NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope helped bring together.
Meet the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage for NASA’s Space Launch SystemThe Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) stands suspended in a silo-like structure at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The ICPS, which will lie just below the Orion capsule at the top of SLS, is a liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen-based system that will give Orion the big in-space push needed to fly beyond the Moon.
International Space Station to Receive First Combined 3D Printer and RecyclerThe International Space Station is set to receive the Refabricator, its first combined 3D printer and recycler that was tested at Marshall. This technology could make 3D printing in space more sustainable for long-term missions and space station research.
