A NASA engineer was selected for a flight opportunity to show that an advanced thin-film manufacturing technique calledatomic layer deposition, or ALD, could apply wavelength-specific reflective coatings onto a sample in space—one of the first steps in ultimately realizing the vision of constructing...
Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 72 flight Don Pettit of NASA discussed life and work aboard the orbital outpost during an in-flight interview April 3 with Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “Star Talk” Program. Pettit is in the midst of a long-duration mission living and working aboar...
'It's very pro-commercial space right now': An industry insider's off-Earth status report Our printer is part of the NASA-funded 3D Printing in Zero-G Technology Demonstration, which is setting out to characterize the performance and demonstrate the functions of additive manufacturing in orbit...
And not just anyone can book a flight. NASA documents say commercial and marketing activity aboard the space station must: Require a microgravity environment for manufacturing, production or development of a product or service Have a "connection" to NASA's mission — that is, space ...
