NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2, launched

NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2, launched on July 2, will soon be providing about 100,000 high-quality measurements a day of carbon dioxide concentrations around the globe. But for scientists to understand the processes that control the amount of the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, they need to know more than just where carbon dioxide is now. They need to know where it has been, and it takes more than great data to figure that out.

Here’s how they plan to take this #NextGreatLeap in climate change science:

NASA monitors Earth's vital signs from land, air and space with a fleet of satellites and ambitious airborne and ground-based observation campaigns. NASA develops new ways to observe and study Earth's interconnected natural systems with long-term data records and computer analysis tools to better see how our planet is changing.

El Águila se prepara para aterrizar: Fue hace 45 años hoy que Neil Armstrong

 
 El Águila se prepara para aterrizar: Fue hace 45 años hoy que Neil Armstrong dio el pequeño paso sobre la superficie de la luna que cambió el curso de la historia. Los años que siguieron fueron de una era espacial de la investigación científica, tecnológica y humana, en la que hemos construido la era moderna. Nos encontramos en un nuevo horizonte, a punto de dar el siguiente gran salto-más profundamente en el sistema solar. Las misiones Apolo ardieron un camino para la exploración humana de la Luna y en la actualidad estamos ampliando ese camino a los asteroides cercanos a la Tierra, Marte y más allá.

Esta imagen es del 11 del módulo lunar Águila Apolo en una configuración de aterrizaje y fue fotografiada en la órbita lunar del comando y de servicio del módulo Columbia. Dentro del módulo eran comandante Neil A. Armstrong y piloto del módulo lunar Buzz Aldrin. Las largas protuberancias similares a barras bajo las vainas de aterrizaje son sondas de detección de la superficie lunar. Al entrar en contacto con la superficie lunar, las sondas envían una señal a la tripulación para apagar el motor de descenso.

The years that followed saw a Space Age of scientific, technological and human research, on which we have built the modern era. We stand on a new horizon, poised to take the next giant leap-deeper into the solar system. The Apollo missions blazed a path for human exploration to the moon and today we are extending that path to near-Earth asteroids, Mars and beyond.

This image is of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle in a landing configuration and was photographed in lunar orbit from the Command and Service Module Columbia. Inside the module were Commander Neil A. Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin. The long rod-like protrusions under the landing pods are lunar surface sensing probes. Upon contact with the lunar surface, the probes sent a signal to the crew to shut down the descent engine.

El águila ha aterrizado!




El águila ha aterrizado! Cuando llega el momento de establecer Águila en el Mar de la luna de la Tranquilidad, Neil Armstrong improvisa, pilotando manualmente la nave más allá de un área sembrada de cantos rodados. Durante los últimos segundos del descenso, el equipo del Águila está sonando las alarmas. Resulta ser un simple caso de la computadora tratando de hacer demasiadas cosas a la vez, pero como Buzz Aldrin después señalar, "por desgracia, surgió cuando no queríamos estar tratando de resolver estos problemas particulares."

Cuando el módulo lunar aterriza a las 4:18 pm EDT, a sólo 30 segundos de combustible permanecen. Armstrong Radios "Houston, aquí Base Tranquilidad. El águila ha aterrizado". Entra en erupción de control de la misión en la celebración como los saltos de tensión, y un controlador le dice a la tripulación "¿Tienes un montón de chicos que van a ponerse azul, estamos a respirar de nuevo."

Tecnología impulsa la exploración y estamos construyendo sobre los logros del programa Apollo para probar y volar, tecnologías de vanguardia transformadoras hoy para las misiones del futuro. A medida que desarrollamos y probamos las nuevas herramientas del vuelo espacial del siglo 21 en la trayectoria humana a Marte, una vez más a cambiar el curso de la historia.



Foto: The Eagle has landed! When it comes time to set Eagle down in the moon's Sea of Tranquility, Neil Armstrong improvises, manually piloting the ship past an area littered with boulders. During the final seconds of descent, Eagle's computer is sounding alarms. It turns out to be a simple case of the computer trying to do too many things at once, but as Buzz Aldrin will later point out, "unfortunately it came up when we did not want to be trying to solve these particular problems."

When the lunar module lands at 4:18 p.m. EDT, only 30 seconds of fuel remain. Armstrong radios "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." Mission control erupts in celebration as the tension breaks, and a controller tells the crew "You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue, we're breathing again." 

Technology drives exploration and we're building on the Apollo program's accomplishments to test and fly transformative, cutting-edge technologies today for tomorrow's missions. As we develop and test the new tools of 21st century spaceflight on the human Path to Mars, we once again will change the course of history.
