Aboard Dragon are NASA astronauts, Stephen Bowen, spacecraft commander, and Warren Hoburg, pilot, in addition to objective professionals Sultan Alneyadi, UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut, and Andrey Fedyaev, Roscosmos cosmonaut. Crew-6 is the sixth crew rotation objective with SpaceX to the station, and the seventh flight of Dragon with people as part of the companys Commercial Crew Program. Credit: NASA

NASAs SpaceX Crew-6 Launches to the Space Station
A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft launched to the International Space Station on March 2nd on NASAs SpaceX Crew-6 mission.
The team, consisting of NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg, will conduct research study and technology demonstrations on the area station to benefit life in the world and future Artemis human expedition objectives to the Moon and ultimately to Mars.

Browsing the Lunar Landscape
In 2024, a Firefly Aerospace lunar lander will deliver a payload to the Moon called the Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment.
The payload is expected to receive signals from two satellite constellations orbiting Earth and get the first-ever international navigation satellite systems repaired on the lunar surface.
This technology might help provide accurate navigation for future expedition objectives on the Moon.
This image, containing millions of simulated galaxies strewn throughout area and time, reveals the areas Hubble (white) and Roman (yellow) can catch in a single picture. It would take Hubble about 85 years to map the whole region displayed in the image at the same depth, but Roman might do it in simply 63 days. Romans larger view and quick study speeds will unveil the developing universe in ways that have actually never been possible in the past. Credit: NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center and A. Yung
Roman Space Telescopes Wide View of the Universe
A brand-new simulation demonstrates how NASAs Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescopes broad field of view will help unveil the universe.
The simulation compares numerous regions of the image, illustrating the Hubble Space Telescopes field of vision, with the full zoomed-out image– which represents how much more Roman is capable of surveying.
The Roman Space Telescope is targeted for launch by May 2027.

NASA Aeronautics Dream with Us Design Challenge
NASAs Aeronautics “Dream with United States Design Challenge” is a chance for high and middle school trainees to share their visions for the future of aviation.
Trainee teams are being asked to establish and present strategies for a more sustainable industrial airplane. The deadline for submissions is May 15th.
For more details, go to go.nasa.gov/ aero-dream.
Thats whats up this week at NASA.
