Engineers and technicians moved the Orion service module test article into the Reverberant Acoustic Test Facility at NASA Glenn Research Center’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio on Friday, April 8. Acoustic testing is scheduled to begin April 18. The blue structure sitting on top of the test article is a mass simulator that represents the Orion crew module.
The test article will be blasted with at least 152 decibels and 20-10,000 hertz of sound pressure and vibration to simulate the intense sounds the Orion service module will be subjected to during launch and ascent into space atop the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. This is part of a series of tests to verify the structural integrity of Orion’s service module for Exploration Mission-1, the spacecraft’s first flight atop SLS.
Provided by ESA (European Space Agency) and built by Airbus Defence and Space, the service module will power, propel and cool the vehicle and also supply it with air and water.

What could cause a nebula to appear square? No one is quite sure. The hot star system known as MWC 922, however, appears to be embedded in a nebula with just such a shape. The featured image combines infrared exposures from the Hale Telescope on Mt. Palomar in California, and the Keck-2 Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. A leading progenitor hypothesis for the square nebula is that the central star or stars somehow expelled cones of gas during a late developmental stage. For MWC 922, these cones happen to incorporate nearly right angles and be visible from the sides. Supporting evidence for the cone hypothesis includes radial spokes in the image that might run along the cone walls. Researchers speculate that the cones viewed from another angle would appear similar to the gigantic rings of supernova 1987A, possibly indicating that a star in MWC 922 might one day itself explode in a similar supernova. via NASA ift.tt/1TuXUo7

In Ft. Sumner, N.M., a team of scientists is readying a giant balloon -- and a 5,015-pound telescope – for launch in mid-September 2013. During its flight some 25 miles up in the sky, the balloon, called HEROES, for High Energy Replicated Optics to Explore the Sun, will carry a hard X-ray telescope with a two-part job. During the day, the telescope will observe the sun. It will record imagery of giant bursts of radiation and light on the sun called solar flares with 10 times better resolution than the best solar observations to date in these wavelengths. At night, the telescope will turn its focus toward other stars, collecting X-ray data from astrophysical sources such as the crab Nebula. The hard X-ray sky is relatively unexplored, especially at high resolution.
The HEROES mission is funded by NASA's Hands-On Project Experience, or HOPE, Training Opportunity award, an honor designed to promote achievement among America's newest ranks of space scientists and engineers. HEROES is led by Jessica Gaskin, an astrophysicist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and Steven Christe, a solar scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

This is inside NASA's supersonic wind tunnel. When the tunnel is running the wind going toward my camera is moving 1.5 mach. Models are put into the airstream where our tour guide is standing. Lots of data is collected from inside the tunnel, and on the model, and fed into systems via the patch panel seen here.
This 3 month long exposure packed the days from December 22, 2015 through March 20 into a box. Dubbed a solargraph, the unconventional, unfolded picture was recorded with a pinhole camera made from a cube-shaped container, its sides lined with photographic paper. Fixed to a single spot for the entire exposure, the simple camera recorded the Sun's path through Hungarian skies. Each day a glowing trail was burned into the photosensitive paper. From short and low, to long and high, the trails follow the progression from winter solstice to spring equinox. Of course, dark gaps in the daily sun trails are caused by cloud cover. Sunny days produce the more continuous bright tracks. via NASA ift.tt/1XUvcwF

Released September 22, 2008
BOZEMAN, Mont. -- Many filmmakers work with the stars, but in the case of a growing number of Montana State University film students the reference has a literal meaning.
Seven graduates or former students in MSU's Science and Natural History filmmaking program students are working at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
"In recent years, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has been particularly interested in producers with strong science and writing backgrounds, and all MSU Science and Natural History Filmmaking graduate students have that," says Sarah DeWitt, who graduated with her M.F.A. in 2006 and is NASA's lead producer for Earth Science multimedia and special events.
DeWitt was the first MSU film grad to make the Montana-Maryland leap. Since her arrival at Goddard six years ago, she has been joined by Liz Smith, a 2007 graduate, Stefanie Misztal, who will finish her degree this year, Maria Frostic, also a 2007 graduate, and student Andy Freeberg, who is still working on his thesis. This summer Ryan Fitzgibbons, a 2007 graduate, and student Jefferson Beck, also still working on his thesis, joined the team.
Smith, who recently left Goddard to take a job with the Waitt Institute for Discovery in San Diego, said while the large number of MSU grads in Goddard's media departments is unusual, it is also understandable.
"I would definitely attribute the abundance of MFA students and alumni at Goddard to the quality level and professionalism of our students and to the unique set of talents and interests that they bring with them," said Smith. "I think the science and film combination background is only going to become more highly sought after as time goes on."
At Goddard, DeWitt has done everything from producing live interviews with Larry King, to a high-definition production on the IMAX screen at the National Air and Space Museum, to hosting a 50-person Bollywood cast and crew from India. She has specialized in the topic of climate change and is an expert at helping scientists translate complicated work into meaningful information for the public. Currently, DeWitt is working with the producers of the highly praised "Planet Earth" on "Frozen Planet," which will showcase the Earth's polar regions.
"The MSU program has helped my work tremendously," DeWitt said. "The skill of storytelling, in particular, has proved invaluable in the work that I do supporting the agency's Earth Science program. Plus, the program taught me how to work with scientists who want to communicate their work with nuance, care and accuracy, while still engaging the audience. "
Smith also said that DeWitt's talent and professionalism set the stage for NASA's production team to want more MFA students from MSU. "I was lucky to follow in her footsteps," she said.
Smith, who had an undergraduate degree in astronomy before coming to MSU, said among the highpoints of her time at NASA was the opportunity to work with John Mather, the 2006 Nobel Laureate in Physics. Mather used the COBE satellite to directly measure the remnants of the Big Bang for the first time, setting the stage for the field of cosmology, one of Smith's scientific interests. Smith also produced a short promotional film for NASA called Destination Earth, working with Misztal, Freeberg, and DeWitt. The film received the Best of Category in Advertising, Promo and PSA award at the 2008 International Wildlife Film Festival in Missoula.
At Waitt, Smith will travel the world to work with some of the top researchers in archaeology and underwater exploration. Smith says that her new position at Waitt came because of her MSU background.
"The Waitt Institute went to the (MSU) MFA program specifically looking to hire an alumnus because of the quality and reputation of our work as well as the theory behind the instruction and bridging the science-film gap," Smith said. She said plans are already in the works to collaborate with MSU students and alumni on several upcoming Waitt expeditions.
Other MSU MFA students at Goddard include Misztal, a producer and editor who post-produced and edited a vodcast series for Goddard's most recent space mission, the Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST), that launched June 11.
Frostic works on a Goddard Earth Science and Technology fellowship at the University of Maryland, which includes a post as a research associate/faculty member in which she supervises four non-faculty members of the Goddard media team. She is currently producing multimedia content for the Glory mission, an upcoming Earth science mission that will investigate various climate forces, including the role of aerosols and total solar irradiance in climate change.
Freeberg, who has worked at Goddard for two years, produced the first-ever NASA Goddard Film Festival, which debuted June 19. It was shown in high-definition on the IMAX screen at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. He is also a producer for the Landsat mission.
Fitzgibbons and Beck will produce videos for NASA-TV and NASA.gov on topics ranging from gamma ray bursts to climate change. They will help continue NASA's launch into new media, including vodcasts, streaming video, mobile video and interactive Web content. The work of the MSU Goddard team can be found on iTunes, YouTube, and at www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/multimedia/
