The bottom line is there’s nothing else like the SLS because it was built from the ground up to be human rated, it is the only vehicle that can take the Orion spacecraft and the service module to the moon. And that’s the purpose-built design — to take large hardware and humans to cislunar space, and nothing else exists that can do that.

The relative velocity between spacecraft and moon will be 14.7 miles per second (23.6 kilometers per second), so we are screaming by pretty fast, all steps have to go like clockwork to successfully acquire our planned data, because soon after the flyby is complete, the spacecraft needs to be reoriented for our upcoming close approach of Jupiter, which happens only 7 ½ hours later.

You can almost think of it as a personalized spacecraft -- a secondary but much more personalized spacecraft that protects the crew member, provides them pressure, oxygen, cooling and any other life-sustaining functions that are needed.

The United States of America is half men, half women. Well, space should be at least that, so if we can not make these spacecraft equitable, and we can't fly any type of person on them, then we need to look at Orion Crew Survival Systems and reevaluate.

Look, Alcantara launching site is a real wonder if you need to send a spacecraft to outer space because it's a very efficient location. I mean, you use…less fuel compared to other launching sites, and it's so close to the United States because we are in the same Western Hemisphere that it makes perfect sense if you can join efforts to make it possible.

A mystery like this is sort of par for the course at this stage of the Voyager mission, the spacecraft are both almost 45 years old, which is far beyond what the mission planners anticipated. We’re also in interstellar space – a high-radiation environment that no spacecraft have flown in before. So there are some big challenges for the engineering team. But I think if there’s a way to solve this issue with the AACS, our team will find it.

Right now, there is still a lot of' viewing margin' around the disc, enabling stunning detail to be captured by FSI out to about 3.5 million kilometres, equivalent to five times the radius of the Sun, at closest approach on 26 March, which will see the spacecraft pass within about 0.3 times the Sun-Earth distance, the Sun will fill a much larger portion of the telescope's field of view.

Jon pointed out that JPL's Horizons system showed that the DSCOVR spacecraft's trajectory did not go particularly close to the moon. It would be a little strange if the second stage went right past the moon, while DSCOVR was in another part of the sky. There's always some separation, but this was suspiciously large, analysis led by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies indicates the object expected to impact the far side of the Moon March 4 is likely the Chinese Chang' e 5-T1 booster launched in 2014.

This test was a routine spacecraft experiment to verify the reusable technology of spacecraft, which is of great significance for reducing the cost of spacecraft use. It can provide a convenient and cheap way for humans to use space peacefully. Many companies in the world have carried out similar experiments.

One thing that did really profoundly impact me was the very first time I got out of the seat after [ our spacecraft ] was safely in orbit, and I looked out the window and saw the Earth from 250 miles up, i will never forget that moment... It wasn't about the view. It was how the view made me feel... the Earth is amazing. It's beautiful. It protects us, and so we should work hard to protect it.

Don't let anybody tell you different -- landing on Mars is hard to do, but the women and men on this team are the best in the world at what they do. When our spacecraft hits the top of the Mars atmosphere at about three-and-a-half miles per second, we'll be ready.

It's hard to put into words how exciting it was to receive confirmation that the spacecraft successfully touched the surface and fired one of the gas bottles, our first indication of whether we were successful in collecting a sample will come on October 21 when we downlink the back-away movie from the spacecraft.

We specialize in spacecraft, not medical device manufacturing, but excellent engineering, rigorous testing and rapid prototyping are some of our specialties. When people at JPL realized they might have what it takes to support the medical community and the broader community, they felt it was their duty to share their ingenuity, expertise and drive.
