Pablo Sobron SanchezSETI Institute This proposal explores a new class of survey spacecraft that maps minerals from orbit using Raman spectroscopy during high-speed flybys, without landing, sample return, or prolonged dwell. If feasible, this concept would allow NASA to evaluate ice and ilmenite on the Moon, mineral content on asteroids, and volatile minerals on the
Media are invited to join NASA for a virtual press conference at 2 p.m. EDT, Wednesday, July 29, to preview the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope mission, scheduled to launch Sunday, August 30 from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

NASA Langley’s “Stars, Stripes and Supernovas – Symphony Under the Stars” event brought together employees, families and community members for an evening filled with music, connection and celebration. Organizers planned the event, which took place on July 16, to commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the United States of America. The evening featured
Starting July 20, the public can access data from the two powerful radar instruments on board the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite. Teams in the United States and India will release files processed from the satellite’s L-band and S-band radars on an ongoing basis, helping researchers and other users track the movement of Earth’s

Paul Stankus Pablo StankusBrookhaven Scientific Associates The scientific objective of the proposed work will be to reconstruct the image, that is, resolve the surface features, of an Earth-like exoplanet around a nearby star, seen in visible light.
Pablo StankusBrookhaven Scientific Associates The scientific objective is to enable a new method to observe gravitational waves at low frequencies, based on the GW astrometric signature: gravitational waves passing through the Earth will cause a (very small) coordinated apparent movement of all celestial objects. Our innovation is to implement a new approach for precision astrometry
