A screen capture of the new Ames home page look. If you're familiar with the website for NASA's Ames Research Center, you may have noticed a few new developments on the home page late last week. Recently, leaders of Ames’ five main technical directorates (Programs and Projects, Aeronautics, Engineering, Exploration Technology, and Science) collaborated to identify a few key topics that represent the spectrum of Ames' diversity. It's been a huge challenge to limit ourselves to just a few areas, but together with our Public Affairs Office, which coordinates press releases, web features, photography, video, web, social media and media relations for Ames, we've chosen eleven to highlight. For each, we've created a web page with information about the topic, how Ames works in the field and a few specific examples that showcase our work in that area.

Welcome to our New NASA Ames Website!

WASHINGTON-- NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) successfully have utilized an experimental variation of interplanetary Internet to control an educational rover from the International Space Station. The experiment utilized NASA's Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) process to transmit messages and demonstrate innovation that one day may make it possible for Internet-like communications with space vehicles and support habitats or infrastructure on yet another world. Space station Expedition 33 leader Sunita Williams in late October utilized a NASA-developed laptop to from another location drive a small LEGO robotic at the European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany. The European-led experiment utilized NASA's DTN to imitate a circumstance in which a rocketeer in a vehicle orbiting a planetary body manages a robot rover in the world 's area.

-0.113978"The demonstration showed the feasibility of using a new communications infrastructure to send commands to a surface robot from an orbiting spacecraft and receive images and data back from the robot," said Badri Younes, deputy associate administrator for space communications and navigation at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "The experimental DTN we've tested from the space station may one day be used by humans on a spacecraft in orbit around Mars to operate robots on the surface, or from Earth using orbiting satellites as relay stations."
Sentiment Stats:
  • Number of Quotes: 2
  • Aggregate Sentiment: -0.0241752
  • Mean: -0.0120876
  • Standard Deviation: 1.7320508075689

Key:

  • 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.
