SPACE APPLICATIONS

My research paper for this term is focused to the “NASA Science Instruments for the Next Space Exploration Missions”. As part of the previous research is the analysis of the projection of NASA for the next  space exploration missions. On July 2016 of 2016, an article of NASA “What’s Next for NASA” states that NASA's missions, programs and projects are ensuring the United States will remain the world's leader in space exploration and scientific discovery for years to come, while making critical advances in aerospace, technology development and aeronautics (NASA, 2016). The article explains some next missions and programs for space exploration such as the Journey to Mars, the International Space Station, Aeronautics, Technology, Earth, and Solar System and Beyond which are according the goals.

Quine Blog - 4/12/2017 Miguel H. Quine – 4/12/2017 Previous analysis for the research project: “ NASA Science Instruments for the Next Space Exploration Missions” NASA Science Instruments for the Next Space Exploration Missions The goals of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for space exploration, in the next 25 years, are focused to improve the technology capacity by creating the adequate environment for the humans in such a way that can live, work, navigate and travel distant locations in the deep space, and landing and departing from the planets and asteroids with reliable and fast communications with the Earth. By 2025 is expected to send astronauts to an asteroid and by 2030 to send humans to Mars, first to orbit the planet and after landing on it and returning to the Earth. The next space exploration missions of NASA to achieve the goals will be based in new and improved science instruments technologies that are in design and development by NA...

Miguel H. Quine – 4/10/2017 Previous analysis for the research project: “ NASA Science Instruments for the Next Space Exploration Missions” Sept. 7, 2016 NASA Selects Next Generation Spectrometer for SOFIA Flying Observatory A team from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, has been selected to develop a new, third-generation facility science instrument for the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA. The principal investigator, Samuel Harvey Moseley will lead the team to develop the High Resolution Mid-InfrarEd Spectrometer (HIRMES). The HIRMES spectrometer is optimized to detect neutral atomic oxygen, water, as well as normal and deuterated (or “heavy”) hydrogen molecules at infrared wavelengths between 28 and 112 microns (a micron is one-millionth of a meter). These wavelengths are key to determining how water vapor, ice, and oxygen combine at different times during planet formation, and will enable new observations o...
