Galileo satellites 9 and 10 prepare for liftoff.

Galileo is the Europe’s own global satellite navigation system. It will consist of 30 satellites and their ground infrastructure.The definition, development and In-Orbit Validation phases were carried out by ESA, and co-funded by ESA and the European Commission. This phase created a mini constellation of four satellites and a reduced ground segment dedicated to validating the overall concept.The Full Operational Capability phase is fully funded by the European Commission. The Commission and ESA have signed a delegation agreement by which ESA acts as design and procurement agent on behalf of the Commission.

Plum Brook Welcomes Orion’s Powerhouse.

An event on Nov. 30 at NASA’s Plum Brook Station facility in Sandusky, Ohio marked the arrival of a full-size test version of the service module provided by the European Space Agency (ESA) for NASA’s Orion spacecraft. The module will supply the spacecraft’s power, in-space propulsion and air and water for astronauts onboard Orion, which is being developed to help send humans to deep space destinations, such as an asteroid placed in lunar orbit and Mars. A rigorous test campaign will be conducted at Plum Brook to ensure the module can withstand the trip to space.

NASA has ordered its first mission from SpaceX to carry astronauts to the International Space Station.

NASA has ordered its first mission from SpaceX to carry astronauts to the International Space Station, six months after placing a similar order with Boeing.Even though the first order went to Boeing, it has not yet been determined whether Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner capsule or SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule will go first. The contracts required NASA to put in its orders early, but the scheduling decisions and required certifications will be made at a later time.

Status update, Juno Mission.

Juno is 522 million miles (841 million kilometers) from Earth. The one-way radio signal travel time is about 47 minutes.
Juno is traveling at a velocity of approximately 68,000 miles per hour (about 30 kilometers per second) relative to Earth, 18,000 miles per hour (about 8 kilometers per second) relative to the Sun, and 12,000 miles per hour (about 5 kilometers per second) relative to Jupiter. Juno has now travelled 1.67 billion miles (2.69 billion kilometers, or 18.01 AU) since launch, and has another 85 million miles to go (137 million kilometers, or 0.92 AU) before entering orbit around Jupiter.
The Juno spacecraft remains in excellent health and is operating nominally.
Juno is slated to arrive at the gas giant planet on July 4, 2016.

Expedition 46/47 Crew Undergoes Final Training Outside Moscow.

Expedition 46/47 prime crewmembers Timothy Kopra of NASA, Yuri Malenchenko of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and Timothy Peake of the European Space Agency conducted final qualification training at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia Nov. 19 and 20. Kopra, Malenchenko and Peake are scheduled to launch on Dec. 15, Kazakh time, in the Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft for a six-month mission on the International Space Station.

Lesley Ott: Carbon & Climate.

Rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are driving changes in Earth’s climate. But scientists are still trying to answer important
questions about how carbon dioxide emissions get absorbed by the land and the ocean — and how this could change in the future. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Lesley Ott talks about NASA’s high-powered computer models are giving us a better understanding of carbon’s role in Earth’s changing climate.

NASA Commentator Lori Meggs at the Marshall Space Flight Center talks with Ken Savin of Eli Lilly and Company about the company’s drug research being done on the International Space Station. In its work to develop new drugs and improve drug delivery for patients on Earth, Lilly is one of many commercial interests that are taking advantage of the world’s on-orbit science laboratory to do things that can’t be done in the one gravity environment of Earth.

Fermi Detects First Gamma-ray Pulsar in Another Galaxy.

Researchers using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope have discovered the first gamma-ray pulsar in a galaxy other than our own. The object sets a new record for the most luminous gamma-ray pulsar known. The pulsar lies in the outskirts of the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy that orbits our Milky Way and is located 163,000 light-years away. The Tarantula Nebula is the largest, most active and most complex star-formation region in our galactic neighborhood. It was identified as a bright source of gamma rays, the highest-energy form of light, early in the Fermi mission. Astronomers initially attributed this glow to collisions of subatomic particles accelerated in the shock waves produced by supernova . However, the discovery of gamma-ray pulses from a previously known pulsar named PSR J0540-6919 shows that it is responsible for roughly half of the gamma-ray brightness previously thought to come from the nebula. Gamma-ray pulses from J0540-6919 have 20 times the intensity of the previous record-holder, the pulsar in the famous Crab Nebula. Yet they have roughly similar levels of radio, optical and X-ray emission. Accounting for these differences will guide astronomers to a better understanding of the extreme physics at work in young pulsars.
