NASA astronaut Jack Hathaway loads bacterial samples into a portable DNA sequencer to read their genetic code inside the International Space Station’s Harmony module. The GEARS biotechnology investigation may help scientists understand how bacteria become resistant to antibiotics in the space environment, which could affect an astronaut’s ability to fight infections.NASA/Jessica Meir Life science topped [...]
NASA has selected Rocket Lab to provide the launch service for both the agency’s PolSIR (Polarized Submillimeter Ice-cloud Radiometer) and Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor-2 (TSIS-2) missions. The two selections are part of NASA’s Venture-Class Acquisition of Dedicated and Rideshare (VADR) launch services contract. This contract allows the agency to award fixed-price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity [...]

This illustration depicts the Sun-like star TOI-791 and two giant planets that NASA’s TESS space telescope discovered in its orbit. These planets, designated TOI-791 b and TOI-791 c, are roughly the size of Jupiter but a tiny fraction of its mass, meaning they have an extraordinarily low density. NASA / Daniel Rutter Data from NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission has revealed two new “super-puff” [...]
