The experiment Suite has three science goals: determine mechanisms of solar wind mass and energy transport; characterize energy, topology, and ion composition in the deep magnetotail; and establish observational capabilities of an on-board pathfinder payload measuring local space weather to support deep-space and long-term human exploration.

After the retirement of the Space Shuttle was announced, NASA began to look for commercial space launch companies who could fly cargo to the ISS. In early 2006, the agency started its Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program, where it would help fund the development of cargo spacecraft after a competitive process. SpaceX and ...
The launch history of NASA's Launch Services Program (LSP) since the program formed in 1998 at Kennedy Space Center. The launch of NASA robotic missions occurred from a number of launch sites on a variety of rockets. After the list of launches are descriptions of select historic LSP missions.
It is a unique ID number or code assigned to a package or parcel. The tracking number is typically printed on the shipping label as a bar code that can be scanned by anyone with a bar code reader or smartphone. In the United States, some of the carriers using tracking numbers include UPS, [1] FedEx, [2] and the United States Postal Service. [3]
Tracking vehicles in low Earth orbits (LEO) is quite different from tracking deep space missions. Deep space missions are visible for long periods of time from a large portion of the Earth's surface, and so require few stations (the DSN uses only three, as of February 20, 2010). These few stations, however, require the use of huge antennas and ...
[7] [8] [9] The International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG), which is composed of 14 space agencies including NASA, has concluded that Gateway systems will be critical in expanding human presence to the Moon, to Mars, and deeper into the Solar System. [10] The project is expected to play a major role in the Artemis program after ...
The HBTSS will ultimately be integrated into the broader set of satellite constellations being developed by the Space Development Agency (SDA). [ 2 ] The new satellite architecture itself, dubbed the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA), will consist of seven layers: data tracking, transport, custody, battle management, navigation ...
Deep Space Transport LLC is a joint venture that is set to provide launch services for the Space Launch System rocket. The joint venture consists of Boeing, the prime contractor for the Space Launch System core stage and the Exploration Upper Stage that will be used on Space Launch System missions, and Northrop Grumman, the prime contractor for the Space Launch System's solid rocket boosters.
