The scientific return of PLEXISS can give important information for the understanding of the transient atmospheres of several other bodies of the Solar System; in particular, the European cornerstone mission Bepi-Colombo to planet Mercury can greatly benefit from PLEXISS. This paper describes the two...
Several people have done this and Charles Simonyi has even been twice. He donated money to Oxford University where I work so we could have a Professor for the Public Understanding of Science. For a while this was Rickard Dawkins who wroteThe Selfish GeneandThe God Delusion. Nowadays it’s ...
Mission debriefing is a crucial part of collective mission simulation and a tremendous source for gaining understanding of one's actual performance. During debriefing participants get feedback about their actions and performance within a... R Meiland,A Lemmers - Fall Simulation Interoperability Workshop...
This coronagraph will be looking at two types of solar wind. In one, the solar wind travels directly outward from our star, pulling the magnetic field from the Sun into the heliosphere, the bubble that surrounds our solar system. The other type of solar wind forms from magnetic field lines ...

The science gear includes, of all things, a number of fruit flies for an experiment aimed at improving our understanding of the effects on the heart of lengthy exposure to microgravity. “Because they’re small, age rapidly, and have a well-known genetic make-up, [the flies] are good mod...
A senior Russian official said Tuesday that Russia will only need the International Space Station (ISS) until 2020, as previous plans by Washington to use it until 2024 were thrown into doubt amid the Ukraine crisis.
Samples from theAging and Heart Healthstudy conducted during Ax-1. The study analyzes human cells for genetic markers of cellular aging and explores how cardiac-like cells adapt to microgravity. A better understanding of the mechanisms of cellular aging and cardiac adaptation could...
the cosmonauts' daily routine. All the physical activities are accompanied by continued heartbeat and arterial pressure measurements. The cosmonauts also begin taking some food additives designed to reduce dehydration of the body. The crew members also refresh their understanding of the landing ...
and to use for human benefit the resources and attributes of the spaceenvironment. All of these activities—discovery, scientific understanding, and the application of that understanding to serve human purposes—are elements ofspace exploration. (For a general discussion ofspacecraft, launch consideratio...
