Week of March 1-5


 

Green Run Update: Engineers Repair Valve for Mid-March Hot Fire Test

Engineers have successfully repaired a liquid oxygen valve on the Space Launch System rocket’s core stage with subsequent checks confirming the valve to be operating properly. The team plans to power up the core stage for remaining functional checks before moving forward with final preparations for a hot fire test in mid-March at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.


 

Marshall Spinoffs Increase 3D Printing Capabilities, Tackle Foot Odor

Newly reported spinoffs from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, offer an unlikely pair of benefits for space and commercial applications. An insert made from space-age material helps reduce pungent shoe odors, and an advanced 3D printer enables printing of electronics on demand.


 

Artemis I Boosters Reach New Heights

NASA’s Space Launch System solid rocket boosters have grown taller with the addition of the fifth and final pair of motor segments in preparation for the launch of Artemis I later this year. At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, engineers with Exploration Ground Systems lowered the final solid rocket booster into place on the mobile launcher on Feb. 23. Up next, the nose assemblies will be placed atop the segments to complete the boosters.


 

NASA Cooks Up Something Special with Deep Space Food Challenge

NASA, in coordination with the Canadian Space Agency, is cooking up something special with the Deep Space Food Challenge. The challenge incentivizes the public to develop novel food system solutions for long-duration space missions. Step into the kitchen with celebrity chef Alton Brown to learn more.


 

Lessons in Leadership: Marshall Deputy Director Rick Burt

As Marshall’s newly appointed deputy director, Rick Burt helps guide the next era in exploration and discovery for one of NASA's largest field installations, with a broad portfolio of human spaceflight, science, and technology development efforts that touch nearly every mission NASA pursues. Turns out growing up on his family’s farm in Columbia, Tennessee, was just the career training he needed. Spending weekends and summers as de facto farmhands honed skills Burt would leverage throughout his NASA years.
