NASA is getting ready to send astronauts on yearlong missions to the International Space Station, doubling the duration of a typical orbital stay. These long-term missions will be sending spaceflyers into largely uncharted territory, and some of the biggest unknowns are how the human mind and body will react to that much time in space.

Apollo's Lunar Dust Data Being Restored | Reduction

Apollo's Lunar Dust Data Being Restored

Apollo 11 Mission Image - View of Moon limb and Lunar Module during ascent, Mare Smythii, Earth on horizon by NASA on The Commons
License (according to Flickr): No known copyright restrictions

Excerpt:

Forty years after the last Apollo spacecraft launched, the science from those missions continues to shape our view of the moon. In one of the latest developments, readings from the Apollo 14 and 15 dust detectors have been restored by scientists with the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "This is the first look at the fully calibrated, digital dust data from the Apollo 14 and 15 missions," said David Williams, a Goddard scientist and data specialist at NSSDC, NASA's permanent archive for space science mission data. The newly available data will make long-term analysis of the Apollo dust readings possible. Digital data from these two experiments were not archived before, and it's thought that roughly the last year-and-a-half of the data have never been studied.

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

Pristine moon crater could unlock secrets | Redux

Pristine moon crater could unlock secrets

Mars and the full moon by blmurch
License (according to Flickr): Attribution License

Excerpt:

Scientists trying to understand the evolution of impact craters on Earth and other rocky bodies have found a good case study on the moon. Researchers are focusing on Linne Crater, which lies in the moon's Mare Serenitatis region. Linne is just 1. 4 miles (2. 2 kilometers) wide, but it's extremely young — having formed just 10 million years or so ago — and beautifully preserved. Craters don't erode nearly as quickly on the moon as they do on Earth, where wind and water reshape and fill in craters at a rapid clip. But Linne is pristine even for a lunar crater, researchers said; it shows no signs of any subsequent major impacts, retaining its original shape more or less intact. And that shape is a bit of surprise. Scientists had thought simple lunar craters such as Linne should be bowl-shaped.

Astronauts take spacewalk to find ammonia leak | Redux

Astronauts take spacewalk to find ammonia leak

Space shuttle on launch complex at the Kennedy Space Center: Merritt Island, Florida by State Library and Archives of Florida
License (according to Flickr): No known copyright restrictions

Excerpt:

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. –  Two astronauts are spacewalking outside the International Space Station in an attempt to find an ammonia leak in a critical radiator system. Station commander Sunita Williams and Japanese crewmate Akihiko Hoshide ventured out Thursday morning. They will isolate plumbing to help flight controllers locate the leak and open a spare radiator. Their spacewalk got under way just hours after the orbiting lab had to dodge a piece of space junk. On Wednesday evening, thrusters on a docked Russian supply ship were fired to move the space station out of harm's way. But a computer error caused the thrusters to malfunction, and the station did not reach the desired altitude. NASA says the station and its six residents are safe despite their lower-than-intended orbit. The menacing debris is a satellite fragment.
