The team monitors the spacecraft's status during the Exo-Brake “parachute” deployment. The ExoBrake is a drag device that increases the total surface area of the spacecraft to assist with a quicker deorbit. This maneuver is deployed at the end of mission to satisfy NASA's deorbit requirement and prevent space debris. TechEdSat has spent the last several months coordinating with NASA’s Conjunction Assessment Risk Analysis (CARA) team to ensure the spacecraft can safely deploy the ExoBrake without colliding into any other objects.

Teams with Boeing – NASA’s Prime Contractor for the agency’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket – mate the forward and aft ends of the core stage for the agency’s Artemis III mission at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans on Jan. 8, 2026. This operation secures four of the five major components of the core stage in place: the forward skirt, liquid oxygen tank, intertank, and the liquid hydrogen tank. The final component – the engine section – was structurally completed in 2022 and shipped to Kennedy Space Center for final assembly and integration. Now joined, teams will continue integrating critical systems and perform various checks and tests to ensure the hardware is ready for shipment to Kennedy later this year. The core stage, along with its four RS-25 engines, produce more than two million pounds of thrust to help launch NASA’s Orion spacecraft, astronauts, and supplies beyond Earth’s orbit and to the lunar surface for Artemis.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) grown with reduced lignin during preflight testing as part of Dissecting Beneficial Plant-Microbe Interactions and their Efficacy in the ISS Spaceflight Environment, a Model Study (Veg-06). This investigation examines spaceflight’s effects on the interactions between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia. A second part to this investigation studies the effects of reduced lignin in a space environment. Lignin is a biopolymer that reinforces plant cell walls thereby enabling plants to grow upward against the forces of gravity. Growing plants with less lignin may be feasible in environments with low gravity and may have the added benefit of biodegrading more readily, thereby facilitating the growth of future generations.
