NASA to Attend ASCEND Conference and Provide Media with Tech Demo

 The flexible thermal protection system has two ceramic fibre fabric outer surface layers, multiple layers of insulator, and a gas barrier that keeps hot gases from entering the inflated structure directly. The flexible, high-temperature-capable inflatable structure is inflated to create the cone shape over which the FTPS is draped.

NASA and Greg Swanson

The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) will host the 2022 ASCEND conference in Las Vegas from Monday, October 24, to Wednesday, October 26, and representatives from NASA will attend, including Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy.

Speakers from the agency will make speeches and take part in panels addressing a range of subjects, such as NASA's Moon to Mars exploration plans, the future of space technology, scientific developments, and more. The conference's complete schedule is available online.

The majority of programmes will be accessible to registered conference attendees online.

Among the activities in which NASA is involved are:

October 24th, Monday (All times are Pacific)

A panel discussion on Partnering for Innovation in Cislunar Space was followed by Melroy's keynote speech at 8 a.m. on Going Back to the Moon by Design. Participants on the panel include:

Ellen Ochoa, a former astronaut and director of NASA's Johnson Space Center, will serve as the moderator.

NASA's Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate Associate Administrator Jim Free

Sandra Connelly, NASA's Science Mission Directorate's deputy associate administrator, and Lieutenant General Nina Armagno, the U.S. Space Force's director of staff

Todd Nygren, senior vice president of The Aerospace Corporation's Engineering and Technology Group

Gwynne Shotwell is the president and COO of SpaceX.

Overview of the NASA Strategic Technology Framework at 12:45. Participants on the panel include:

Moderator: Julie Van Kleeck, AIAA executive producer and space domain lead for ASCEND

Jim Reuter is a NASA Space Technology Mission Directorate associate administrator (STMD)

Michelle Munk, STMD's temporary chief architect

Oct. 25, Tuesday

7 a.m. - Press conference to discuss further technical advancements for entry, descent, and landing as well as NASA's Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator (LOFTID) technology demonstration. Participating parties are:

Understanding the formation of copper deposits of the porphyry type may be essential for the "green economy."

 A key finding regarding the creation of mineral deposits that will help us move toward a "green economy" has been made by scientists. According to a recent collaborative study conducted by Lawrence Carter from the University of Exeter's Camborne School of Mines , the fast shift in the underlying magmatic plumbing system that causes porphyry-type copper deposits to occur. The work challenges the conventional wisdom that magmatic systems' "fertility," or capacity for mineralization, increases gradually over millions of years and on an arc-scale. Instead, it presents a new 4D model for the genesis of porphyry-type copper deposits. Instead, a change from non-mineralizing to porphyry deposit-forming magmas may occur over a period of less than 200 kyrs at a rate that is an order of magnitude faster. This is thought to be caused by a shift in magma production from the middle crust to the lower crust, which was likely brought on by the entry of considerably hotter...

Using the fatty acid binding protein type I gene as a unique DNA marker, Fasciola flukes can be differentiated by species.

  Abstract Background Fasciola hepatica, F. gigantica, and hybrid Fasciola flukes have been distinguished using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) for nucleus phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (pepck) and polymerase delta (pold), respectively. However, both approaches have been reported to exhibit discrimination flaws. The objective of this study was to create a multiplex PCR based on the FABP type I gene, a novel nuclear marker. Methods Using DNA samples of hybrid Fasciola flukes, F. hepatica, and F. gigantica collected from 11 countries in Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia, nucleotide sequence variants of FABP type I were examined. For multiplex PCR, two distinct reverse primers for F. hepatica and F. gigantica as well as a common forward primer were created. Results Using multiplex PCR, specific segments of F. hepatica (290 bp) and F. gigantica (190 bp) were amplified satisfactorily. The hybrid flukes, however,...

The Energy Transition's State

15 years ago , when I first began learning about climate change, I came to three conclusions. First, averting a climatic catastrophe would be the most difficult endeavour ever. Second, there was no other way to achieve it but to make strong investments in the development and use of renewable energy. Third, we had to go forward. Since then, a surge in public and private investment has sped up innovation more quickly than I dared anticipate. I'm encouraged about the future because of this progress. However, I am also pragmatic about the here and now. Although global emissions are still rising every year, it is still necessary for the globe to reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions from 51 billion tonnes to zero. If you keep up with the annual IPCC reports, you've probably seen that the likelihood of keeping the increase in global temperature to 1.5 or even 2 degrees Celsius is dwindling. Furthermore, several of the clean technologies we need are still a long way from being wide...
