Dr. Tom Moore discusses the MMS mission objectives, Engage series,
View of the cockpit of NASA's F-14, tail number 991. This aircraft was the first of a series of post-Vietnam fighters, followed by the F-15, F-16, and F-18. They were designed for maneuverability in air-to-air combat. The F-14s had a spin problem that posed problems for its ability to engage successfully in a dogfight, since it tended to depart from controlled flight at the high angles of attack that frequently occur in close-in engagements.

The American League champion Cleveland Indians and their National League counterpart Atlanta Braves were engaged in a scheduled best-of-seven World Series throughout the first portion of the scheduled 16-day mission in space. Off-duty crewmembers came out of a rest period to set up the scene in tribute to the October classic. The crew will continue working in shifts around the clock on a diverse assortment of United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML-2) experiments located in the science module. Fields of study include fluid physics, materials science, biotechnology, combustion science and commercial space processing technologies. The frame was exposed with an Electronic Still Camera (ESC).

Earth to Sky Academy October 23, 2019 Locations: Building 28 Dr. Piers J. Sellers Data Visualization Theater, first floor atrium and east lawn, Building 21 GIC2 (Library) MOSI Request # 2020-896-0 10/23/2019 is the field trip day of our five-day workshop for the Earth to Sky Academy. Images will be used to show what the experience is like for reporting and marketing purposes. Earth to Sky Academy NASA Goddard Space Flight Center – Greenbelt, MD October 21–25, 2019 A tuition-free course for interpreters, informal educators, and science communicators interested in creating and nurturing regional communities of practice focused on improving climate science communication. About the Earth to Sky Academy Since 2004, the Earth to Sky interagency partnership (ETS) has been sharing NASA science with informal educators through a variety of professional development events, including a series of regional courses in climate science and communication. A hallmark of the ETS training model is purposeful, ongoing engagement with participants to encourage sharing and collaborative learning. In an effort to strengthen and grow the ETS community of practice, ETS leadership is developing a network of ETS regional communities, each led by small teams of trained ETS regional leaders. The Earth to Sky Academy (ETSA) five-day course marks the launch of this long-term effort.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, agency social media followers prepare for the first day of activities of a NASA Social revolving around NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite-K mission. NASA Socials are in-person meetings for people who engage with the agency through Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and other social networks. The satellite, known as TDRS-K, is set to launch at 8:48 p.m. EST on Jan. 30 aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 on nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. About 50 followers were selected to participate in the TDRS-K prelaunch and launch activities and share them with their own fan base. The TDRS-K spacecraft is part of the next-generation series in the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System, a constellation of space-based communication satellites providing tracking, telemetry, command and high-bandwidth data return services.
