FAQ: NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test Return Status

Aug 20, 2024

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams arrived at the orbiting laboratory on June 6 aboard the Boeing Starliner after lifting off on June 5 from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

During Starliner’s flight to the space station, engineers noticed some of the spacecraft’s thrusters did not perform as expected and several leaks in Starliner’s helium system also were observed.

Engineering teams at NASA and Boeing have since conducted several thruster tests and in-depth data reviews to better understand the spacecraft.

While engineers work to resolve technical issues before Starliner’s return to Earth, the astronaut duo have been working with the Expedition 71 crew, performing scientific research and maintenance activities.

NASA now plans to conduct two reviews – a Program Control Board and an Agency Flight Readiness Review – before deciding how it will safely return Wilmore and Williams from the station.

NASA expects to decide on the path forward by the end of August.

About the Mission and Delay

What is NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test?

NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test launched on June 5, and is the first flight of the Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station with astronauts.

The flight test aims to prove the system is ready for rotational missions to the space station.

NASA wants two American spacecraft, in addition to the Roscosmos Soyuz spacecraft, capable of carrying astronauts to help ensure a permanent crew aboard the orbiting complex.

What are the goals of the Crew Flight Test?

This flight test aims to demonstrate Starliner’s ability to execute a six-month rotational mission to the space station.

The flight test objectives were developed to support NASA’s certification process and gather the performance data needed to evaluate readiness ahead of long-duration flights.

Why is the Crew Flight Test staying longer than planned aboard the space station?

During Starliner’s flight to the space station, some of the spacecraft’s thrusters did not perform as expected and several leaks in Starliner’s helium system were observed.

While the initial mission duration was planned for about a week, there is no rush to bring crew home, so NASA and Boeing are taking additional time to learn about the spacecraft.

This is a lesson learned from the space shuttle Columbia accident.

Our NASA and Boeing teams are poring over data from additional in-space and ground testing and analysis, providing mission managers data to make the best, safest decision on how and when to return crew home.

If there’s an emergency on the space station, how will Butch and Suni get home?

Starliner remains the primary option for Butch and Suni if an emergency occurs and they need to rapidly depart the station.

There is no urgent need to bring them home, and NASA is using the extra time to understand the spacecraft’s technical issues before deciding on a return plan.

How long could Butch and Suni stay on the space station if they don’t come home on Starliner?

If NASA decides to return Starliner uncrewed, Butch and Suni would remain aboard station until late-February 2025.

NASA would replan the agency’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission by launching only two crew members instead of four in late September.

Butch and Suni would then return to Earth after the regularly scheduled Crew-9 increment early next year.

SBQuantum Announces New Projects with European Space Agency and Canadian Space Agency

August 20, 2024

SBQuantum, the first company developing quantum diamond magnetometers capable of providing accurate readings from space, today announces a pair of new contracts with leading government agencies in space exploration.

First, the company has been contracted by the European Space Agency (ESA) to evaluate the viability of its quantum diamond magnetometer technology in space.

ESA is assessing both the reliability and accuracy of SBQuantum’s sensor technology, as well as how these sensors could be deployed on a satellite in space for a range of applications.

The contract focuses on applications enriching human understanding of the Earth and its magnetic environment.

For instance, satellite-based magnetometers can be useful in monitoring magnetic storms, which can disrupt navigation and communications here on Earth.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has also selected SBQuantum, and will be testing the company’s magnetometer at an altitude of 40km as part of its STRATOS Program.

The testing will demonstrate the instrument’s ability to collect precise data in temperatures as low as -60 Celsius (-76 Fahrenheit) and low-pressure environments, while also being exposed to radiation.

Furthermore, this project will include a demonstration of magnetic field-based positioning (whose signal cannot be jammed) using a quantum diamond magnetometer, as opposed to relying on the heavy infrastructure of traditional GPS.

“These contracts are further evidence of the tremendous potential of the quantum diamond magnetometers we are commercializing at SBQuantum.

Years of investment, research and development are now beginning to pay off, as leading organizations in space exploration are acknowledging that our hardware has the potential to provide an important advantage over existing technologies.

Furthermore, these sensors can be deployed for a range of applications, and therefore provide significant value to the user at a fraction of the cost of the legacy technologies currently in use.

We’d like to thank both ESA and the CSA for their confidence in us, and we look forward to cultivating a long and fruitful relationship with both of these prestigious organizations” said David Roy-Guay, CEO and Cofounder of SBQuantum.

“The technology is promising, and we are optimistic that its advantages can be realized in space as well” added Aaron Strangfeld, Quantum Engineer at ESA.

These contracts build the company’s existing momentum from the MagQuest Challenge, which is organized by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, an agency within the U.S. Department of Defence, in partnership with the NASA Tournament Lab.

SBQuantum is currently a finalist in that challenge, which will see its quantum magnetometer sent into space for testing.

The results of this testing will determine if this device is suitable to be used for mapping and monitoring the earth’s magnetic field moving forward.

Both the new contracts are being carried out over the summer.

Confirming the durability and accuracy of these devices will then also pave the way for additional space-based applications ranging from attitude control and guiding rovers on the surface of other planets, to mapping minerals under the surface of the moon and an array of other possibilities.

The sensors can easily be mounted on small cube satellites and launched into orbit at a nominal cost, making precise, detailed data about the earth’s magnetics and geophysics easily accessible to those stakeholders who require it for planning operations, mapping logistics or other relevant applications.

Astrophotographer captures Saturn vanishing behind the moon in mesmerizing photo

August 21, 2024

In the early hours of Wednesday morning (Aug. 21), the moon and Saturn pulled off quite the vanishing act, though it was rather shortlived.

Saturn appeared to abscond behind the moon for around an hour, in what is known as a "lunar occultation."

Countries with a good front-seat view of this act were Brazil, Portugal, Spain, France and the U.K., according to In-The-Sky.org.

If you weren't well placed to see the lunar occultation (or simply couldn't get out of bed this morning), you're in luck because photographer Josh Dury was up bright and early to capture the event from his location in Somerset, U.K.

"I have waited years to see a lunar occultation of Saturn.

What can be more majestic than one of the most famous planets of the solar system being obscured by the moon?" Dury told Space.com in an email.

Dury captured this photograph between 4:00 and 5:27 a.m. local time (BST) (11:00 p.m. EDT and 12:27 a.m. EDT).

The image consists of 30 sub-images merged into a single frame.

"From days of watching weather forecasts, I did consider travelling for this event.

However, I decided to stay local and see what I could get," Dury explained.

Despite the issues with the British weather, Dury successfully captured the occultation unfolding in the predawn sky.

"The beginning of the event was clear however [the] cloud grew in intensity throughout the event.

Therefore, I was only able to catch a few images, at the time of the third contact when Saturn emerged on the other side of the moon." Dury continued.

If you missed this stargazing sight, don't worry: there will be another lunar occultation of Saturn on Sept. 17, 2024, between 4:08 a.m. and 8:07 a.m. EDT (0808-1207 GMT).

FCC approves Starlink first generation upgrade plan

August 20, 2024

SpaceX has secured permission to gradually replace first-generation Starlink satellites with larger spacecraft designed to provide more broadband capacity.

The Federal Communications Commission Aug. 16 modified the license that permits SpaceX to operate up to 4,408 Gen1 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO).

The modification allows SpaceX to deploy upgraded Starlinks under the Gen1 license with technology developed for the company’s second-generation constellation, which has a separate license permitting up to 7,500 more satellites in LEO.

SpaceX has 6,325 Starlink satellites in orbit after beginning its launch campaign in 2019, according to statistics maintained by astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, including 4,216 Gen1 spacecraft with a design life of around five years.

The company, which has launched more than 6,800 Starlink satellites to date, has also been seeking approval to deploy nearly 30,000 Gen2 Starlinks.

The FCC said its modified license clears the way for Gen1 Starlinks with upgraded beam-forming and digital processing equipment, enabling SpaceX to provide broadband with narrower beams.

According to SpaceX, narrower beams would use the company’s licensed frequencies more efficiently and increase network capacity.

The latest Gen1 Starlinks weigh around 300 kilograms, compared with roughly 800 kilograms for the largest satellites in SpaceX’s current Gen2 network.

SpaceX ultimately plans to deploy Gen2 Starlinks weighing about 2,000 kilograms, once its next-generation Starship rocket is in service.

SpaceX has also proposed deploying larger upgraded Gen1 Starlinks with two potential form factors, one to be launched with Falcon 9 and another that would use Starship.

Dish Network had asked the FCC to reject SpaceX’s license modification request over concerns that the upgraded Gen1 Starlinks could interfere with other communications systems.

The satellite TV broadcaster argued that SpaceX’s use of smaller beams would violate rules governing satellite power limits, which the FCC dismissed.

“With this modification, SpaceX will utilize advanced beam-forming technology, which will allow for narrow, more focused pointing to ground stations,” the FCC said.

“With this more focused capability, SpaceX will be able to better comply with the condition not to communicate in the same frequency with more than one satellite beam to any one area or overlapping areas at a time.”

SpaceX must seek a mutually acceptable agreement with the National Science Foundation to mitigate the impact of its satellites on optical ground-based astronomy, among other conditions tied to the modified license.

Axiom Space and Nokia partner to develop high-speed wireless communications for spacesuits

August 21, 2024

Axiom Space is working with Nokia to adapt terrestrial wireless technologies to provide high-speed communications for the Artemis spacesuits Axiom is developing.

The two companies announced a partnership Aug. 21 to develop 4G/LTE communications technologies, called the Lunar Surface Communications System (LSCS), for the suits Axiom is developing for NASA for use starting on the Artemis 3 mission no earlier than late 2026.

The LSCS technology features two major components. One is a “network in a box” that includes a base station, antennas and other systems that will be installed on the Human Landing Services lander that delivers the astronauts to the lunar surface.

The other will be a user module incorporated into Axiom’s suits.

The 4G/LTE communications will provide redundancy for existing links using UHF and Wi-Fi, as well as increased bandwidth.

“From a suit perspective, we like this because it will give us a lot more capability and it gives is a little bit more redundancy in the communications,” said Russell Ralston, Axiom Space executive vice president of extravehicular activity, in an interview.

The integration of that technology into the suits will be seamless from the perspective of the astronauts wearing them, he said, with 4G/LTE being just one option for the astronaut to choose depending on mission requirements.

However, it can enable much greater capabilities, such as the ability to stream high-definition video from cameras on the suit.

“From a scientific perspective, what it means is all of the scientists and geologists supporting the NASA mission in real time will have much better insight into what the crew is seeing,” he said.

In addition, “I think people will connect with the mission a lot more closely when they can see it in such rich detail.”

The system is designed to operate at distances of up to two kilometers from the lander, a requirement set by NASA for the Artemis 3 mission, said Thierry Klein, president of Bell Labs Solutions Research at Nokia.

“But we have tested the system in some configurations on terrestrial demonstrations that go beyond that.”

Nokia will first test its LSCS system on the moon on IM-2, the second robotic lunar lander mission by Intuitive Machines scheduled to launch late this year.

That system will enable communications between the lander and both a rover developed by Lunar Outpost and a “hopper” by Intuitive Machines.

Klein said the success of that mission is not a prerequisite for using LSCS on Axiom’s spacesuits because of upgrades already planned for the future Artemis missions.

“It’s very similar, but it’s not the exact same system,” he said. “Of course, we hope the IM-2 mission will be successful, but if it isn’t, it doesn’t have a direct impact on Artemis.”

Nokia is looking at later upgrades to LSCS to increase its range, particularly for future missions that will have astronauts driving a lunar rover.

The company is also participating in DARPA’s LunA-10 study to examine how communications networks using that technology could enable a commercial lunar economy in the next 10 to 15 years.

Work on incorporate communications technologies into the Axiom suits is funded by a recent $57.5 million task order awarded by NASA as part of the agency’s Exploration Extravehicular Activity Services, or xEVAS, contract.

NASA selected Axiom in September 2022 to develop a spacesuit for Artemis lunar landing missions with an initial xEVAS task order of $228.5 million.

Russell said Axiom is moving into the critical design review (CDR) phase of suit development, which will continue until early next year.

“We’re approaching that point in time where the design is really solidifying,” he said, noting it was important to have the partnership with Nokia in place now so that the technology can be incorporated into the suits before the CDR is completed.

He said the company had completed “science projects” to answer key questions about the suit design.

“At this point, we’ve answered all those questions and now it’s refinement and optimization as we get into the CDR phase,” he said.

“We’re making tweaks here and there.”

Axiom was one of two companies that NASA selected for xEVAS contracts in 2022, with NASA awarding a task order to the other company, Collins Aerospace, late that year to work on a suit for International Space Station spacewalks.

However, NASA and Collins announced in June that the company was halting work on that effort, effectively dropping out of the program.

Axiom has a small “crossover” task order under the xEVAS program to study how its Artemis spacesuits could be adapted for use on ISS.

Russell said the company was beginning a preliminary design review of an ISS version of the suit.

He said Axiom is pursuing a “single suit architecture” that allows the suit to be used for Artemis or ISS missions with minimal modifications.

“The suit can be deployed to basically any mission, and it may have a mission unique configuration,” he said, such as a different boot.

“There’s very few changes other than that.”

OMB says agencies will shed ‘considerable’ amount of office space in coming years

August 19, 2024 6:27 pm

The Biden administration says federal agencies are getting rid of office space they no longer need, and will shed millions of square feet in the coming years, now that many federal employees are on a hybrid schedule of in-office and work-from-home days.

The Office of Management and Budget, in a sweeping report released earlier this month, said telework-eligible federal employees are working in their offices about 60% of the time.

That hybrid schedule allows agencies to reevaluate their office space needs, and shed excess leased and government-owned real estate.

“While agencies reach more durable, long-term decisions about their telework and work environment posture, they are also considering the impacts of these changes on their real property portfolios,” OMB wrote.

“Agencies have undertaken considerable work to dispose of unneeded property, reduce costs, and improve overall utilization of real estate.”

OMB requested the 24 largest federal agencies provide an update on efforts to reduce their office space portfolio, and provide more details on what steps it’s taking to make better use of their buildings.

In 2023, federal building utilization rates in the Washington, D.C. metro area remained about 30% lower than pre-pandemic rates, by some estimates.

Agencies are telling OMB they’ve already shed hundreds of thousands of square feet of office space, and are planning to shed millions more square feet of space in the coming years.

“It is OMB’s expectation that all agencies will arrive at intentional, competitive, and durable work environments that set agencies up for success in both the short and long-term, and that they appropriately manage their real property portfolio to support those decisions,” the report states.

OMB is also developing occupancy metrics that will require agencies to calculate their average occupancy rates for their buildings.

Lawmakers have demanded this sort of data from agencies, and grown frustrated that this data isn’t more widely available.

HUD plans to give up 60% of its office space

Agencies are proposing different timelines for real estate disposal, and vary on how much office space they’re willing to give up.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development, as an extreme example, plans to eliminate up to 60% of its total office space footprint by 2038.

HUD plans to reduce space for its field office outside the Beltway, and consolidate four D.C. satellite offices into its downtown headquarters building.

“The reductions will achieve a more efficient utilization rate and reduce real estate spending, allowing us to redeploy funds to other higher impact needs,” the report states.

HUD occupies more than 4 million total square feet of space — which covers 80 leased buildings across the country, and four headquarters buildings.

The Energy Department, meanwhile, outlined plans to offload more office building space than any other agency.

The department told OMB it plans to dispose of 3 million square feet of building space through 2027.

1/2

>>21454947

The Defense Department says its Washington Headquarters Services ended leases on 561,000 square feet of space within the past five years, and returned 275,000 square feet of space to the federal government’s landlord, the General Services Administration, for use by other tenants.

GSA said it reduced the federal footprint by more than 2 million square feet over the past 10 years, avoiding more than $300 million in operating and maintenance costs.

“In 2024 and in future years, GSA’s internal real estate portfolio will focus on right-sizing its workplaces,” GSA told OMB.

The agency plans to vacate leased space and “transform, restack, and/or backfill owned space” in at least six regional office buildings and its D.C. headquarters.

The Government Accountability Office found last summer that all agency headquarters buildings in the Washington, D.C. area had excess space, including 17 that had an average building utilization of just 25%.

OMB wrote in the report that agencies don’t currently collect data to calculate average office space utilization rates, but OMB plans to develop occupancy metrics that will require agencies to calculate their annual average occupancy for their buildings in the “near term.”

Office space officially designated as underutilized accounts for more than 23 million square feet of space in GSA’s Federal Real Property Portfolio.

That underutilized space accounts for more than $69 million in annual operation and maintenance costs.

“Many agencies recognized that they had more office space than needed prior to the pandemic and face continued challenges in rightsizing their real property portfolio, including specifically lack of funding from Congress to both reconfigure and consolidate office space to support mission needs,” the report states.

The average age of GSA-owned buildings is more than 50 years old.

OMB notes that “older buildings are not efficient or optimally configured for modern work and often require significant modification.”

Current and former officials who oversaw the federal government’s sprawling real estate portfolio say said federal buildings remained underutilized across multiple administrations — but that the COVID-19 pandemic made the issue too obvious to ignore.

However, OMB notes that some agencies may have underutilized space because of a shrinking workforce, and may not have the funding to move into smaller buildings.

“It is important to note that ‘underutilized’ office space is often a required asset in a specific location by one or more agencies,” the report states.

“The cost of maintaining an owned asset that has become underutilized due to staff reduction, for example, may be a more cost-effective solution than constructing a smaller building that would be fully utilized or leasing commercial office space.”

GSA is also asking Congress to get full access to the Federal Buildings Fund, where it keeps rent payments from tenant agencies. Lawmakers have diverted about $1 billion from the fund annually for more than a decade to cover other costs.

Lawmakers skimmed more than $13 billion from the fund over the past decade, which has delayed necessary repairs and limited GSA’s ability to consolidate office space for tenant agencies.

GSA is asking Congress for a $425 million “optimization” fund in next year’s budget. The funding would help agencies move out of underutilized office space.

The House and Senate versions of the fiscal 2025 spending package don’t include the Biden administration’s request for a federal building optimization fund at GSA.

However, both versions, however, included language that requires GSA to come up with recommendations for how to reduce lease and owned federal office space with a less than 60% utilization rate.

What Does Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Know About UFOs?

August 20, 2024 | 10:05am

I have struggled to write this article in a cogent and coherent manner ever since news broke about a month ago that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) will try to pass their Unidentified Aerial Phenomena amendment in next year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). They tried and failed to get it in the last NDAA, despite still passing some minor UAP legislation; doing it again demonstrates a level of noticeable commitment on the part of two very powerful men on an issue with little to no electoral upside. What’s more, Pentagon UAP whistleblower Luis Elizondo’s book is out today too, which will undoubtedly spark a new wave of interest in the subject. But Schumer’s bill has genuinely caved my head in — specifically this section:

• The Federal Government shall exercise eminent domain over any and all recovered technologies of unknown origin and biological evidence of non-human intelligence that may be controlled by private persons or entities in the interests of the public good.

Excuse me? Am I being pranked here? This from the Charles E. Schumer of New Amsterdam? Holy shit it is! There’s even video of him strenuously defending the bill and everything.

It is an outrage the House didn’t work with us on our UAP proposal for a review board.

This means declassification of UAP records will be up to the same entities that have blocked and obfuscated their disclosure for decades.

We will keep working to change the status quo. pic.twitter.com/SaMnOVBVmw

Some have dismissed this as just a tribute to his late friend and previous Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who was very interested in this subject, and if Schumer had dropped this effort after a year, it very easily could have been interpreted as such.

But now that this battle is coming up on the horizon again, if this is a tribute to Reid, it’s a stubborn one.

The way I resolved the natural tension in a piece with no firm answers like this is to split it into two articles–one to try to stick to serious journalist stuff about verified reports and the other walking further out on a limb to venture a guess as to what this all is. Interpreting the reports and reporting the reports are incompatible with one another without making this a tedious maze of qualifiers and half-commitments in a piece that runs way too long.

Because the Senate Majority Leader’s office for whatever strange reason just didn’t really want to talk to me about UAP’s when I reached out to them about it, the best we can do to try to answer the question I posed in the title is to follow what he and Senator Rounds wrote in this UAP amendment.

Here’s a word cloud of the entire bill that will help guide us down this path.

The phrase “unidentified anomalous phenomena” appears 88 times, and there are 85 occurrences of the word “disclosure,” while “non-human intelligence” pops up 22 times.

These will serve as guideposts to try to figure out what Chuck Schumer may be getting at in this absolutely bonkers bill submitted to the United States Senate that contains phrases like “Controlled Disclosure Campaign Plan.”
