NASA EDGE joins the Heliophysics Big Year celebration from Sunspot, New Mexico; home of the Sunspot Solar Observatory! It is a year of awesome solar events, opportunities to study space weather, and witness new scientific milestones with NASA missions. All of this is happening during Solar Max, the pinnacle of solar activity in the solar cycle. Joining the show are Nicky Fox from NASA Headquarters, Antti Pulkkinen from NASA Goddard, and Bob Baer from Southern Illinois University – the crossroads of the eclipses. So, grab your sun screen, safe solar viewing glasses, and kick things off with NAS ..read more

It is a huge challenge to send astronauts to the Moon, but it is also critical to bring them home safely. NASA EDGE’s Blair Allen talks with Christine St. Germain, NASA’s Test Director for Landing and Recovery at KSC, about the Orion Underway Recovery Tests (URT) for the Orion spacecraft. The URTs are complex simulations of how the Orion spacecraft performs in open water after landing at sea. Plus, both NASA and the NAVY practice multiple spacecraft recovery techniques in the process. Christine moves all of the chess pieces around to get the performance data from the URTs to help NASA engineer ..read more

Not only did Mars 2020 and Perseverance survive the seven minutes of terror during entry, descent, and landing on the surface of Mars, they also collected a lot of key performance data! NASA EDGE’s Franklin Fitzgerald chats with Mars Entry, Descent, and Landing Instrument 2 Project Manager Henry Wright about the latest success with Perseverance and how the MEDLI2 data will help future missions to Mars and other planets carry more mass and stay safe at the same time ..read more

Our resident expert on Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) narrows her focus on the lunar landing with Stereo Camera for Lunar Plume Surface Studies (SCALPSS). Michelle Munk and NASA EDGE’s Blair Allen discuss the impact of lander rocket plumes during a lunar landing both in terms of crater formation and how regolith may be dispersed in the process ..read more

If you need to capture highly technical imagery of your spacecraft as it reenters the Earth’s atmosphere, look no further than CJ (Carey Scott) and the SCIFLI team at NASA Langley Research Center. Franklin Fitzgerald checks in with CJ to learn more about how SCIFLI works, the many assets in they are able to deploy, and their recent imaging of the Hayabusa 2 asteroid sample return down in Australia in 2020 ..read more
