Image From Space Shows Lava Burning A Path Through La Palma

HANDOUT - September 22, 2021 - The Cumbre Vieja volcano, located in the Canary Islands, erupted on the last day 19 of September. Despite the damage on the island of La Palma, including more than 133 destroyed houses and tens of kilometers covered in lava, volcanic activity has not caused any deaths and remains under constant monitoring. In a new image taken by NASAs LandSat 8 satellite, it is possible to observe in detail the lava flows flowing down the east coast towards the Atlantic Ocean. Photo by NASA via ABACAPRESS.COM

Hubble Space Telescope's First Observations Since Being Fixed

Nzinga Tull, Hubble systems anomaly response manager at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, USA, works in the control room July 15, 2021, to restore Hubble to full science operations. The team proceeded carefully and systematically from there. Over the following two weeks, more than 50 people worked to review, update, and vet the procedures to switch to backup hardware, testing them on a high-fidelity simulator and holding a formal review of the proposed plan.

NASA Delays The James Webb Space Telescope Launch Again

★Handout photo dated June 19, 2017 of NASAs James Webb Space Telescope sits in front of the door to Chamber A, a giant thermal vacuum chamber located at NASAs Johnson Space Center. The telescope will soon be moved into the chamber, where it will spend a hot Houston summer undergoing tests at sub-freezing cryogenic temperatures. The telescope will operate below an extremely cold 50 K (-223° C or -370° F) in space, so NASA is simulating those conditions on the ground, ensuring the optics and instruments will perform perfectly after launch. Last summer, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) set an October 31, 2021, launch date for the $ 10 billion James Webb Space Telescope, but it's having to delay the science observatory's trip into space once again. Thankfully, the launch might take place just a few weeks later, in November or early December. A rescheduled date is unlikely to be confir

In preparation for testing, the wings of the mirror (which consist of the three segments on each side) were spread open. This photo shows one fully deployed wing, and one that is moments from being fully deployed. An engineer observes the move.

NASA SuperSonic Low Boom Airplane Concept

Handout- In the high desert of California, some of the most important aircraft in aviation history have been built and flown. NASAs X-59 QueSST (short for Quiet SuperSonic Technology) is an experimental piloted aircraft designed to fly faster than sound without producing the annoying if not alarming sonic booms of previous supersonic aircraft. It is the latest craft to take shape at Skunk Works, a renowned Lockheed Martin division that for the past 76 years has used a unique approach to design and manufacturing that has produced the nations most advanced airplanes. This artist's concept of NASAs QueSST jet reflects the airplanes final configuration following years of research and design engineering. The jet is now under construction by Lockheed Martin at the companys Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California.

NASA SuperSonic Low Boom Airplane Concept

Handout- NASAs X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology aircraft, or QueSST, is designed to fly faster than the speed of sound without producing a loud, disruptive sonic boom, which is typically heard on the ground below aircraft flying at such speeds. Instead, with the X-59, people on the ground will hear nothing more than a quiet sonic thump if they hear anything at all. The X-59 will fly over communities around the United States to demonstrate this technology, but first, NASA will need to validate the X-planes acoustic signature, using a ground recording system.

NASA SuperSonic Low Boom Airplane Concept

Handout- NASA continues to make progress on the assembly of the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology, or QueSST, aircraft, while overcoming challenges presented by the global pandemic. As early as 2024, NASA plans to fly the X-59 QueSST over select communities to gather information about how the public perceives the quiet noise the X-59 is designed to produce. While the assembly of the X-59 presses on at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in Palmdale, California, the development of an all new, full scale experimental aircraft is a challenging undertaking. The integrated NASA and Lockheed Martin X-59 team is doing an amazing job given the challenging circumstances of COVID-19, said NASAs Low Boom Flight Demonstrator project manager Craig Nickol. The team has shown remarkable resilience, and were excited to see the visible progress on X-59 assembly and integration every day. (Credit:ABACA/Kyodo News Images)
