Dibujo Lab - Nighthawks- La Soledad Urbana de Edward Hopper.webm

En esta ocasión, nos sumergimos en la atmósfera hipnótica de Nighthawks (Halcones de la noche), la icónica obra maestra de Edward Hopper. Pintada en 1942 en un momento de incertidumbre global, esta escena nocturna en una cafetería neoyorquina captura como ninguna otra la melancolía, el aislamiento y el silencio de la vida moderna a través de un uso magistral de la luz y la geometría urbana.

What’s Behind This Door? -Neutral Buoyancy Lab (jsc2024m000064).webm

"What’s Behind This Door?" takes you behind the doors of various facilities located at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston being used to return humanity to the Moon, through the Artemis campaign. The series features interviews with NASA experts and provides a rare insight into all the preparation as teams get ready for lunar missions. This episode takes place at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, one of the world’s largest indoor pools, which is used for mission planning, procedure development, hardware verification, astronaut training, and refinement of time-critical operations necessary to ensure mission success during spacewalks. It features diver Emily Cox who explains how the facility is used for spacewalk training, the role the dive teams play, and how the pool will be used for training as we prepare for lunar missions during the Artemis campaign.

NEWS | March 19, 2020 NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover Gets Its Sample Handling System https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7620 NASA's Mars 2020 rover, now called Perseverance, undergoes processing at a payload servicing facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Feb. 14, 2020. Image Credit: NASA The system will be collecting and storing Martian rock and soil. Its installation marks another milestone in the march toward the July launch period. With the launch period for NASA's Mars Perseverance rover opening in a little less than four months, the six-wheeler is reaching significant pre-launch milestones almost daily at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The rover had some components removed prior to being shipped from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California to the Cape in early February. Last week, Perseverance's assembly, test and launch operations team integrated two components that will play key roles in the acquisition, containment and eventual return to Earth of humanity's first samples from another planet: the Adaptive Caching Assembly and the Bit Carousel. The Bit Carousel contains the nine drill bits Perseverance will use to sample Martian rock and dust. Attached to the top front of the rover on March 7 and resembling a flying saucer, it also is the gateway for the samples to move into the belly of the rover for assessment and processing by the Adaptive Caching System. Installed on March 3, the Adaptive Caching Assembly consists of seven motors and more than 3,000 parts, all working in unison to collect samples from the surface of Mars. A chief component of the assembly is the Sample Handling Arm, which will move sample tubes to the main robotic arm's coring drill and then transfer the filled sample tubes into a space to be sealed and stored. The installation and testing of the electrical wiring for both the Adaptive Caching Assembly and Bit Carousel were completed on March 11. "With the addition of the Adaptive Caching Assembly and Bit Carousel, the heart of our sample collection system is now on board the rover," said Matt Wallace, deputy project manager of the Mars 2020 mission at JPL. "Our final but most crucial elements to install will be the sample tubes that will contain the first samples that will be brought from another planet back to Earth for analysis. We will keep these pristine until we integrate them in a couple of months." Currently, the coronavirus has not impacted the Mars Perseverance rover launch schedule. Launch preparations are continuing. The Perseverance rover is a robotic scientist weighing just under 2,300 pounds (1,043 kilograms). It will search for signs of past microbial life, characterize Mars' climate and geology, collect samples for future return to Earth and help pave the way for human exploration of the R

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory - 13 June 2019 Published on 12 July 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDh2Jz3hKjU A team of engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, install the legs and wheels — otherwise known as the mobility suspension — on the Mars 2020 rover. The imagery for this accelerated time-lapse was taken on 13 June 2019, from a camera above the Spacecraft Assembly Facility's High Bay 1 clean room. JPL is building and will manage operations of the Mars 2020 rover for the NASA Science Mission Directorate at the agency's headquarters in Washington.

Jet Propulsion Laboratory Plasma Flow Research Lab.jpg

In February 1964, the Plasma Flow Research Laboratory at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., was completed. It was located in Building 112 by the East Gate in what was once rocket motor test cell B. It included a 7-foot-by-14-foot stainless steel cylindrical vacuum chamber with port holes on the sides to view and photograph the tests. In this photo, Gary Russell, a group supervisor in the Propulsion Research Section, discusses the plasma facility with JPL Director William Pickering, Deputy Director Brian Sparks, Assistant Director for Research and Advanced Development Frank Goddard, and Propulsion Research Section Chief Don Bartz. Lab-Oratory, the JPL employee newspaper, covered the opening of this new facility, describing how plasma can be generated by bodies entering an atmosphere at high speed and in the plasma lab by electrical discharge. The plasma facility at JPL could create thermally ionized gases at temperatures up to 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Findings from the plasma program were to be applied to power and propulsion devices, and Earth re-entry problems (thermal protection, communication blackout and electrical breakdown). This was a $1.6 million JPL task – part of the larger NASA plasma research and development program. Plasma demonstration attended by Dr. William Pickering, Mr. Sparks, and Goddard.
