Two things you should know about the science of wind chill, and the Orion spacecraft's selfies.

Cassandra Marion, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

For the December edition, we explain the science of wind chill and the spectacular selfies captured by the Orion spacecraft.

Three images side by side: A little girl smells a sunflower, the DART spacecraft’s impact into the asteroid Dimorphos, and a candy apple

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

Planets like 'Tatooine' Could Still Be Habitable

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The first exosolar planet (a planet orbiting a star other than the Sun) was discovered in 1995, and since then humans have found over 3600 planets outside of our solar system. Some of those found are orbiting not one star like we do, but two stars. For example, stars Kepler-35A and 35B orbit each other, but a planet Kepler-35b, orbits both of them. This is much more like the fantasy word Tatooine in the space epic Star Wars than our own planet Earth. In A New Hope, we see young Luke Skywalker

The next generation of Earth Observation: Earth-i

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A new company called Earth-i has announced it will be launching a constellation of satellites into Earth's orbit that will download "fast-turn-around pictures and colour video of the planet's surface."

Hundreds of New Exoplanet Candidates

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A full re-examination of the Kepler Space Telescope's data has revealed an additional 10 new planets that are near-Earth size and in their host-star's habitable zone. Even more interesting, follow-up studies on all of the rocky planets discovered by Kepler (thousands) to-date show that smaller planets come in two sizes. They are either 1.5 Earth Radii and smaller, or 2 Earth Radii and larger. The Kepler Space Telescope held its primary data collection from 2009 to 2013. The total number of

Understanding India's new GSLV-MK3 rocket

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

On 5 June 2017, India performed a full launch test of their GSLV-MK3, putting a test-satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit. This is a huge step forward for the India Space Research Organisation (ISRO), which could eventually use this rocket for human space travel. For the details on the rocket itself, as well as a rundown of ISRO's history check out this article from the Planetary Society.

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

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

Cassini Makes its First Dive Between Saturn and its Rings

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

NASA's Cassini-Huygens mission has begun its final mission phase, making its first dive between the planet Saturn and its rings. It is the only craft to ever make that plunge. Check out some of the amazing images it took as it went through, including the north pole hexagonal vortex.

The Beginning of the End for Cassini

Jesse Rogerson, PhD

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

A short description of the upcoming Grand Finale of the Cassini Spacecraft. Over the next 5 months, Cassini will make 22 plunges between Saturn's rings and the planet itself. No craft has ever been that close. During this final phase, Cassini will make close up measurements of the rings for the first time, image the planet's cloud-tops in unprecedented detail, and even answer long-standing questions like: how fast does Saturn actually rotate? It's going to be a very interesting 5 months.
