in detail the upcoming H2M event later in May. See www.exploremars.org for details. Not only did we discuss the event but multiple issues relating to humans getting to Mars.
timelines to Mars, settlement and humans in space. For the second half we talked about his upcoming new exoplanet book plus exoplanet research and discovery.
the finding of more than 20 amino acids in the sample returns from Ryugu. We talked about both Ryugu and Bennu being from the earliest part of our solar system in the far out part of the Ort Cloud. Dr. Connolly explained the significance of the amino acids but also he talked organics and what they mean. He said Ryugu was a pristine example of the early solar system. In terms of exposing the samples to Earth’s atmosphere, he said there was negative impact and for Bennu and other sample nitrogen would be used as a type of preservative.

In addition, Richard talked about GPS, a subject close to him since his Dad is considered the inventor of GPS. Also, early Naval Research Lab history was discussed as applied to space.
Here is the latest episode in NASA’s Space to Ground weekly report on activities related to the International Space Station:
** Expedition 68 Astronaut Steve Bowen Talks with NPR’s “All Things Considered” – March 20, 2023 – NASA Video
Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 68 Flight Engineer Stephen Bowen of NASA discussed life and work aboard the orbital outpost during an in-flight interview March 20 with WGBH Boston’s “All Things Considered” program. Bowen is in the midst of a long-duration mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration missions. Such research benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future human exploration through the agency’s Artemis missions, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future expeditions to Mars.
** Expedition 68 Astronaut Sultan Alneyadi Answers Dubai Student, Public Questions – March 21, 2023 – NASA Video
Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 68 flight engineer Sultan Alneyadi of UAE (United Arab Emirates) discussed living and working in space during an in-flight interview March 21 with Emirati media. Alneyadi launched on March 2 on the SpaceX Crew Dragon “Endeavour” as part of Crew-6 which is a science mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration missions.
** LIFE Habitat | Sierra Space Successfully Completes Month Long Creep Test – Sierra Space
Sierra Space has successfully performed a month-long Accelerated Systematic Creep (ASC) test on LIFE – the first milestone in its 2023 testing campaign.
Engineers loaded a one-third-scale version of the inflatable habitat with a sustained amount of pressure over an extended period until it failed.
The campaign demonstrated that the LIFE habitat pressure shell design has a predicted life of far greater than 60 years – or 525,600 hours – based on Sierra Space’s 15-year on-orbit life requirement and the applied 4x safety factor.
The next series of one-third-scale LIFE certification tests will focus on inserting hard structures into the pressure shell and correlating the results to previous tests. Sierra Space anticipates moving toward full-scale LIFE habitat tests later this year.
Thanks to a recently signed Space Act Agreement with NASA, Sierra Space will expand its collaborative environment with Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), in Huntsville, Ala., to continue critical work on LIFE. Alabama is the seventh location across the nation where Sierra Space operates facilities, joining Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C.
** Live Video from the International Space Station (Official NASA Stream) – NASA
Watch live video from the International Space Station, including inside views when the crew aboard the space station is on duty. Views of Earth are also streamed from an external camera located outside of the space station. During periods of signal loss due to handover between communications satellites, a blue screen is displayed.
The space station orbits Earth about 250 miles (425 kilometers) above the surface. An international partnership of five space agencies from 15 countries operates the station, and it has been continuously occupied since November 2000. It’s a microgravity laboratory where science, research, and human innovation make way for new technologies and research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. More: https://go.nasa.gov/3CkVtC8
Did you know you can spot the station without a telescope? It looks like a fast-moving star, but you have to know when to look up. Sign up for text messages or email alerts to let you know when (and where) to spot the station and wave to the crew: https://spotthestation.nasa.gov
3. Friday, Mar.24, 2023; 9:30-11 am PST (11:30 am-1 pm CST, 12:30-2 pm EST): We welcome Sebastien Jean of Phison to discuss the role solid-state drives (SSDs) are playing in space missions. Don’t miss this one!
