    ESA webinars – CubeSats in the context of space debris

    With this webinar about CubeSats in the context of space debris, we want to raise awareness of the space debris problem to the CubeSat community, present the Space Debris Mitigation (SDM) requirements and what they mean for CubeSats, discuss Post Mission Disposal (PMD) technologies, and finally, close the gap between the community and ESA to attempt involving it more in future events

    ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft is set to complete its incredible mission in a controlled descent to the surface of Comet 67P/C-G on 30 September. Mission experts joined an ESA Hangout on 19 September to discuss Rosetta’s final days and hours of operation, including expectations for the images and other scientific data that will be collected as the spacecraft gets closer and closer to the surface. They also discuss the exciting discovery of Philae that was made earlier this month. 

    Hangout guests:
    Andrea Accomazzo, Flight operations director 
    Sylvain Lodiot, Rosetta spacecraft operations manager
    Claire Vallat or Richard Moissl (TBC), Rosetta science ground segment liaison scientist 
    Laurence O’Rourke, Rosetta downlink science operations manager (lander search coordinator) 

    Moderated by Emily Baldwin, Space Science Editor.

    NASA Connects Space Station and “Star Trek Into Darkness” Crews in a Google+ Hangout

    Astronaut Chris Cassidy, from aboard the International Space Station participated in a Google+ hangout with fellow astronauts at Johnson Space Center and cast members of the new film, “Star Trek Into Darkness” to discuss how work aboard the ISS is turning science fiction into reality. The astronauts and Star Trek cast asked questions of each other and fielded questions from social media followers at several locations, including the Intrepid Museum in New York City (home of the space shuttle Enterprise) and the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.

  • NASA Long-Distance Google+ Hangout to Connect with Space Station

    NASA Long-Distance Google+ Hangout to Connect with Space Station

    In a first for the agency, NASA hosted a Google+ Hangout live with the International Space Station on Feb. 22, 2013 from 10:30 a.m EST to 11:30 a.m. EST. Google+ Hangouts allow people to chat face-to-face while thousands more can tune in to watch the conversation live on Google+ or YouTube. This unique opportunity connected you, our fans, with astronauts living and working on the orbiting laboratory 240 miles above the Earth.

    During the event, several video questions were selected and answered by astronauts on the space station and on the ground. Additionally, NASA asked real-time questions submitted by our followers on Google+, Twitter, and Facebook. During the hangout, astronauts Kevin Ford, Chris Hadfield and Tom Marshburn will answer questions and provide insights about life aboard the station. Station crews conduct a variety of science experiments and perform station maintenance during their six-month stay on the outpost. Their life aboard the station in near-weightlessness requires unique approaches to everyday activities such as eating, sleeping and exercising.

    Beyond 2012: Google+ Hangout with NASA

    Stories about the fictional planet Nibiru and predictions of the end of the world in December 2012 have blossomed on the Internet. Contrary to some of the common beliefs out there, Dec. 21, 2012 won’t be the end of the world as we know, however, it will be another winter solstice.

    Social media users joined NASA and other scientists for a lively discussion at 2:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 to discuss the 2012 rumors propagated across the internet. We had a great panel of experts on hand including:

    – David Morrison, astrobiologist from NASA’s Ames Research Center
    – Don Yeomans, asteroid scientist from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory
    – Mitzi Adams, solar/archaeoastronomer from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center
    – Lika Guhathakurta, heliophysicist from NASA Headquarters
    – Paul Hertz, astrophysicist from NASA Headquarters
    – Andrew Fraknoi, science educator from Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, Calif.
