Varda Space Industries’ Post

In 2012, NASA sent the rover Curiosity to Mars to investigate its geography and climate. The rover was only meant for a two-year mission, but it continues to this day, sending data back to Earth and, true to its name, keeping us curious about the great beyond. Now, just ten years later, Valkyrie. Our capabilities, and by extension our prospects, continue to expand. Let’s continue to defy expectations. #nasa #data #science

Deflate - launch - Inflate - Live. Inflatable space habitats provide the advantage of carrying large space habitats (in deflated condition) using conventional payload fairings of launch vehicles.

XRD! Initial studies of the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid Bennu sample collected in space and brought to Earth by NASA show evidence of high-carbon content and water, which together could indicate the building blocks of life on Earth may be found in the rock. https://lnkd.in/gew-TRae

https://lnkd.in/g4WrwEHE Space laser transmission strikes Earth from 140 million miles away: NASA Earth just received a laser transmission from a world (and perhaps universe) record-breaking 140 million miles away -- which could have major implications for the future of space travel. This redefined a long-distance call. Earth just received a laser transmission from a world- (and perhaps universe-) record-breaking 140 million miles away — which could have........

Check out this episode Breakdown - Amber Hinds joins Matt Medeiros to talk about the Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker, a plugin used by NASA, and Gravity Forms' part in WP Accessibility Day. https://lnkd.in/efa6cVEK #WordPress #WordPressPlugins #a11y

So stoked to see this! If you have a WordPress website, you need the Accessibility Checker plugin. This new front-end feature is going to be so helpful to get a better understanding of website accessibility & inaccessibility!

Ideally to optimally detect bushfire impact we need to analyse multiple factors such as precipitation, wind speed, topography elevation and distance to bush. Combining such critical attributes for each property is often a challenge combining with climate change. Recently NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration introduced #FireWeatherIndex #australia #bushfire https://lnkd.in/gdGT4SXU

🚀 Today in History: Return to Flight - STS-26 🌌 On September 29, 1988, the sky over Cape Canaveral, Florida, lit up as NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration launched the Space Shuttle “Discovery” on the STS-26 mission. This momentous day symbolizes unwavering belief in our goals and the powerful inspiration that can arise from setbacks. Following the Challenger disaster of 1986, many could have given up, but the spirit of exploration remained unbroken. STS-26 was a symbol of renewal, reminding us to never cease exploring the unknown. “Discovery” not only yielded valuable scientific insights but also instilled a profound conviction that dreams are within reach. May this day remind us that setbacks are the sparks that propel the engine of our progress. 🌟🚀 #SpaceExploration #NASA #NeverGiveUp #TodayInHistory #Inspiration 🌌🌠
