NASA, International Astronauts to Connect with Students in Texas

Publicerad denFörfattareRss .

NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi will answer prerecorded questions about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from students in Mansfield, Texas, while aboard the International Space Station.
The 20-minute space-to-Earth call will take place at 10:40 a.m. EDT on Monday, May 5, and can be watched on the NASA STEM YouTube Channel.
Media interested in covering the event must RSVP no later than 5 p.m., Friday, May 2 by contacting Laura Jobe at laurajobe@misdmail.org or 817-299-6300.
The event, hosted by Mansfield Independent School District, also will have students present from Brenda Norwood Elementary, Alma Martinez Intermediate, Charlene McKinzey Middle, Jerry Knight and Frontier STEM Academies in Mansfield. This opportunity will allow the students to relate what they have learned about space travel to personal experiences.
For more than 24 years, astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard the space station, testing technologies, performing science, and developing skills needed to explore farther from Earth. Astronauts aboard the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through SCaN’s (Space Communications and Navigation) Near Space Network.
Important research and technology investigations taking place aboard the space station benefit people on Earth and lays the groundwork for other agency missions. As part of NASA’s Artemis campaign, the agency will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future human exploration of Mars; inspiring Artemis Generation explorers and ensuring the United States continues to lead in space exploration and discovery.

Vil at Tryvannstårnet skal snurre rundt

Tryvannstårnet er solgt til Christian Ringnes og Eiendomsspar for 14 millioner kroner.
Salget ble endelig vedtatt av Oslo bystyre onsdag kveld. Rødt stemte imot.
Ringnes står foran en stor oppussingsjobb før han kan åpne det forfalne landemerket på Oslos tak for allmennheten, slik kjøpekontrakten forutsetter.
– Det kommer til å bli servering i den delen folk ser, og en roterende etasje, hvis vi får det til, slik at man kan få opplevelsen av å se utsikten hele veien rundt.
– Det må ikke gå for fort, for da blir folk svimle. Men det må ikke gå så sakte at det er kjedelig heller, sier Christian Ringnes til NRK.
Han lover en overraskelse i øverste etasje og ber om tips om hva han skal bruke 3.600 kvadratmeter underjordisk areal til.
– I beste fall åpner dette til min 75-årsdag, og det er akkurat fire år til, sier eiendomsinvestoren. Läs mer…
