3 things you should know about how the DART spacecraft changed the orbit of an asteroid, how we have more than five senses, and how the science of caramel can make you a better cook!

Michelle Campbell Mekarski, PhD

Canada Science and Technology Museum

For the October edition, they explain how the DART spacecraft changed the orbit of an asteroid millions of kilometers from Earth, how we have many more than five senses, and how the science of caramel can make you a better cook

What You Need to Know About the Final 11 Orbits of Cassini

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Cassini spacecraft has only 11 more orbits left of the ringed planet Saturn before its destruction. On September 15th, 2017, Cassini will make a planned plunge into the clouds of Saturn, which will cause it to break up. The science is packed in for Cassini over these orbits: it will study the rings by imaging and sampling, create a more accurate gravitational map of Saturn, and measure the magnetic field of Saturn. Here take a look at the summary of science in the final phase of the Grand

Tracking a Crack in the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Scientists have been closely following the growth of a large crack in the Larsen C ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula. From late 2016 until now, the crack has grown about 150 km long, accelerating in late June 2017. In these dark months, the most recent observations have been done by Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on Landsat 8. If the crack reaches the coast, which is just about 13 km away, the ice will begin to calve and could be the largest iceberg ever recorded.

How to Reduce Wear and Tear on Wheel Treads for the Curiosity Rover

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Curiosity rover has been on Mars since 2012, and has contributed much to our understanding of the Martian environment in the past and present. In 2016, NASA performed a routine wheel examination to keep track of the wear and tear of the wheels. Cracks and holes are starting to appear in the gaps between the treads. After 5 years into this mission, it's not a surprise the wheels have started to wear, however, NASA wants to squeeze as much time out of them as possible. In March, they uploaded
