A false colour image taken by NASA's Sentinel-1A focussed on the 130 kilometer-long crack in the Larsen C ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula.

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

Astronomers Create Detailed Plans for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) using LEGO®

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is building one of three next generation optical telescopes, called the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). It will have a primary aperture that is 39 meters wide made of segmented mirrors. Astronomer Frans Snik and his team have created detailed LEGO® instructions for you to now build your own ELT. As both an astronomer and lover of LEGO®, I approve of this project. The other two next generation optical telescopes are the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), which

The Newest Space Missions from the ESA

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The European Space Agency (ESA) has just green-lit their next flag-ship mission: the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) project. It is the technological successor to LIGO, the USA-led experiment that recently proved the existence of gravitational waves. LISA will be able to measure the same waves created by black hole mergers much further away than LIGO ever could.

How to Garden in Space

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

If humans are to become a space-fairing species (as many have argued the need for), there are many problems to solve: biology in zero-gravity, energy consumption, water recycling, and food (to name a few). The primary goal of the International Space Station is to solve these problems for long-duration space flight. In their latest video, the Science Mission Directorate at NASA takes a look at what we've learned about growing food in space so far.

Making Humans a Multi-Planetary Species

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Late last year, Elon Musk gave a talk at the 67th International Astronautical Congress outlining why he believes humans need to be a multi-planetary species, and how he plans to do it. Musk's talk, which you can watch here, has also been transcribed into this helpful document. This is a plain-language description of putting humans on Mars written by one of the leaders in the game. It's worth a read (or a watch).

What Can We Learn from Sunglint?

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

It's amazing what you can learn from a picture. Take, for instance, this shot taken by NASA's Terra Satellite. It is of the Arabian Sea near Oman. The Sun can easily be seen reflecting off the still water of the sea back to the satellite, a phenomenon known as called 'sunglint.' But what about the dark, snake-like feature stretching through the middle of the reflection? Turns out... it's choppy water! The wind churns the water slightly, making it not as reflective as still water. Using an image

Comet Lovejoy's Massive Ion Tail

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

This image taken by Fritz Helmut Hemmerich captures Comet Lovejoy in all its brilliance. Discovered only in March by Terry Lovejoy, and just finished making its closest approach to the Sun two days ago. Now it's on its long journey back to the outer solar system.

The First Space Launch System Flight will Probably be Delayed

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

NASA is in the middle of developing a new heavy-lift rocket, that will be used to get humans beyond low Earth orbit to places like the Moon and Mars. The last time NASA was in full scale development mode was in the late 1970s and early 1980s for the beginning of the Shuttle program. According to some investigations on the part of the Planetary Society, it looks like NASA's going to miss their launch date of Nov 2018.

Peggy Whitson: the USA Astronaut with the Most Flight Hours

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

NASA Astronaut Peggy Whitson has broken the record for cumulative time spent in space by a United States astronaut at 534 days, 2 hours, 49 minutes, and counting. When she returns to Earth in September 2017, she will have spent 650 days in space.
