And also like many of his colleagues, the deep space […] This June 1978 artist’s concept shows a space solar power system surrounded by an active asteroid retrieval mission. A NASA-sponsored study on space manufacturing held at Ames Research Center provided much of the technical basis for the painting.Image Credit: NASA/Denise Watt Within NASA’s new FY2014 budget proposal lies a project known as the […] A recent study has found that long-duration missions, such as a proposed mission to Mars illustrated here, could accelerate the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease. Image Credit: NASA A NASA-funded study appearing in the journal PLOS ONE suggests that astronauts on long-duration missions, such as a mission to Mars, could have more to fear […] |
