NASA Astronaut Conducts Filipino Students' Experiment on International Space Station

NASA Astronaut Conducts Filipino Students' Experiment on International Space Station

NASA astronaut Christopher Williams successfully conducted the Double Gyroscope experiment designed by Filipino students from Rizal Technological University on the International Space Station (ISS). This experiment was part of the 2025 Asian Try Zero-G (ATZG 2025) competition, which invites young scientists from the Asia-Pacific region to submit experiments for microgravity conditions. The experiment was performed inside the Kibo module of the ISS and was livestreamed to the finalists at the JAXA Tsukuba Space Center in Japan. The Double Gyroscope experiment, developed by students Christopher Tumamac, Ryan Andrew Doña, and Rose Ann Cezar, focused on the behavior of spinning gyroscopes in a zero-gravity environment. The experiment aimed to demonstrate how spinning motion affects stability, a principle used in spacecraft orientation.

NASA's AWE Mission Concludes, Revealing Earth's Storms Influence on Space Weather

NASA's AWE Mission Concludes, Revealing Earth's Storms Influence on Space Weather

NASA has completed its Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) mission, which was conducted aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to study how Earth's storms affect space weather. The mission, which lasted over two years, focused on atmospheric gravity waves—oscillations in the atmosphere caused by events like hurricanes and tornadoes. These waves were detected through the atmosphere's infrared emissions, known as airglow. The AWE instrument captured over 80 million nighttime images, providing insights into how different storms generate varying atmospheric waves. This data is crucial as these waves can alter the density of plasma in the upper atmosphere, impacting satellite communications and navigation systems.

NASA Advances Cancer and Blood Research on International Space Station

NASA Advances Cancer and Blood Research on International Space Station

The Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station is conducting significant research aimed at advancing cancer treatments and understanding blood clotting in microgravity. NASA flight engineer Chris Williams is working on a study involving fruit flies engineered with the genetic profile of pancreatic cancer. These flies are treated with an anti-cancer drug and will be returned to Earth for analysis. This research could lead to more effective cancer therapies. Additionally, NASA flight engineer Jessica Meir is studying blood platelets to understand how microgravity affects blood clotting and immune response. This research is crucial for maintaining astronaut health and preventing excessive bleeding in space.

NASA's AWE Mission Concludes After Studying Earth's Impact on Space Weather

NASA's AWE Mission Concludes After Studying Earth's Impact on Space Weather

NASA's Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) mission, installed on the International Space Station (ISS) since November 2023, has successfully concluded its data collection phase as of May 21, 2026. The mission focused on studying atmospheric gravity waves—large ripples in the atmosphere caused by weather events like thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes. These waves were observed in Earth's airglow, a phenomenon visible in infrared light. Over its 30-month operation, AWE captured over 80 million nighttime images, revealing how terrestrial weather events influence space weather. The data collected has provided unprecedented insights into how atmospheric disturbances propagate into space, affecting satellite operations and communication systems. The mission was managed by NASA's Heliophysics Division and Utah State University's Space Dynamics Laboratory.

NASA Astronaut Captures Stunning Image of Argentina's Andes Mountains from Space

NASA Astronaut Captures Stunning Image of Argentina's Andes Mountains from Space

NASA astronaut Jessica Meir captured a breathtaking photograph of Argentina's Andes Mountains and Lake Argentino from the International Space Station on May 6, 2026. The image showcases the snow-capped peaks of the Andes and the turquoise waters of Lake Argentino, located in Los Glaciares National Park in Santa Cruz Province. The photograph was taken as the space station orbited 269 miles above South America's Patagonia region. This image highlights the natural beauty of Argentina's landscape, emphasizing the high-altitude range of the Andes as the Southern Hemisphere approaches winter.
