NASA Includes Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin for the Flight Opportunities Program
NASA on Thursday announced that it has added Jeff Bezos' space travel company Blue Origin to the program under the Suborbital Reusable Launch Vehicle (sRLV) Flight and Payload Integration Services solicitation. The Flight Opportunities Program is part of the NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) that allows other space travel companies to test their promising space technologies in microgravity or zero gravity environments. That includes finding commercial vehicles that can transport such technologies to space to see if t...

The International Flag of Planet Earth is Simply Amazing!
The grandeur of mankind’s ambitious plans of space travel and settlement has us reaching for the outer planets. A month ago, the White House earmarked over $17.7 billion for unmanned space missions that might answer the existential question about life beyond Earth. This comes two years after the U.S. National Research Council’s Planetary Science Decadal Review put out its 10-year recommendation for NASA’s planetary exploration program. The report had ranked exploration of Jupiter’s icy Moon Europa as the highest-priority mission. From...

NASA’s FINDER tech is doing more than just reaching for stars as a civilian project
In April 2015, a prototype known as FINDER, NASA’s long-range heartbeat detector was used to find and save four men under ten feet of rubble in Nepal. A month later, an improved version of the detector was tested by Virginia Task Force one. NASA is banking on hopes of using the technology in outer space and in hospital emergency rooms on the planet. The technology behind the detector has been around for quite some time. It relies on microwave radar signals to detect motion by analyzing the resulting patterns that arise when signals...

World’s First Synthetic Biological Leaf Could Help Astronauts Breathe in Space
Not long ago, one “Silk Leaf” prototype had been crowd surfing its way through a blithesome wave of press. You’d say what’s so special about the leaf? Well, for humans in order to survive in outer space, it is imperative that there exists a solution to one obscure problem – a steady supply of oxygen to hang on to. In other words, develop a photosynthetic function similar to what plants have aced in last 450 million years. The creator of the so-called Silk Leaf claims it to be the “first man-made biological leaf”. Finally, an invention...
