Hear from Bluford himself, see footage from his Space Shuttle missions, and celebrate the milestones that forever changed the landscape of space exploration. Bluford’s first mission was STS-8, which launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on Aug. 30, 1983. This was the third flight for the Challenger orbiter, and the first mission with a night launch and night landing. During the mission, the STS-8 crew deployed the Indian National Satellite (INSAT-1B), operated the Canadian-built RMS with the Payload Flight Test Article (PFTA), operated the Continuous Flow Electrophoresis System (CFES) with live cell samples, conducted medical measurements to understand biophysiological effects of spaceflight, and activated four “Getaway Special” canisters. STS-8 completed 98 orbits of the Earth in 145 hours before landing at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on Sept. 5, 1983.

Are There Earthquakes On Other Planets? We Asked A NASA Expert NASA ID: Are There Earthquakes On Other Planets_ - Horizontal Video Are there earthquakes on other planets? There are! But we don’t call them earthquakes. Instead, on the Moon we call them “moonquakes” and on Mars we call them “marsquakes.” In this “We Asked a NASA Expert” video, planetary scientist Dr. Jacob Richardson from NASA Goddard explains more about what otherworldly quakes can not only teach us about the inside of planetary bodies, but also the inside of our own planet.

NASA's Psyche Mission to an Asteroid: Official NASA Trailer Revised NASA ID: JPL-20230717-PSYCHEf-0001-ASU Psyche Mission Trailer Revised Join the journey as NASA’s Psyche mission team launches in 2023 to explore a unique metallic asteroid orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid, likely made largely of nickel-iron metal mixed with rock, could contain metal from the core of a planetesimal (the building block of an early rocky planet) and may offer a unique window into the violent history of collisions and accretion that created the terrestrial planets like Earth. Arizona State University leads the Psyche mission. JPL, which is managed by Caltech for NASA, is responsible for the mission’s overall management, system engineering, integration and test, and mission operations. Maxar Technologies in Palo Alto, California, provided the high-power solar electric propulsion spacecraft chassis.

Do Robots Help Humans in Space? We Asked A NASA Expert NASA ID: Do Robots Help Humans in Space_ - Horizontal Video When it comes to space, humans and robots go way back. We rely heavily on our mechanical friends to perform tasks that are too dangerous, difficult or out of reach for humans. We’re even working on a new generation of robots that will help us explore in advanced and novel ways. With NASA’s CADRE — Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration — project, a new network of mini rovers could enable future autonomous robotic exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
