D In the late 1980s, NAS A conducted a study to determine how well indoor plants reduce air pollution. But NASA's study was conducted in sealed chambers simulating(模拟)future long-term space habitats. A 2022 analysis in the Journal of Exposure Sciencel& Environmental Epidemiology showed that...
Photo courtesy NASA The main engines provide the remainder of the thrust (29 percent) to lift the shuttle off the pad and into orbit. The engines burn liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, which are stored in the external fuel tank (ET), at a ratio of 6:1. They draw liquid hydrogen and...

According to the NASA ISS facts and figures page: The ISS solar array surface area could cover the U.S. Senate Chamber three times over. Frankly I think they should use some of the extra to cover theHouse of Representatives. Both houses could benefit from some heat, but I digress. ...
Abandoning the unrealistic plans for human deep-space travel would enable us to chart a path to space that will also be infinitely more cost-effective. Imagine the prodigious exploration possible if the immense cost of the human space program—almost half of NASA’s budget—were applied to robot...
Niklas Rönnberg, a sonification expert at Linköping University in Sweden, has spent years trying to figure out how to get sound-based data more widely accepted, both in the home and in the workplace. A major obstacle, he argues, is the continued lack of universal standards about the ...
