A few of the stories to tell you about– This Week at NASA!
According to research study by NASAs Goddard Institute for Space Studies, July 2023 was 0.43 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than any other July in NASAs record, and hotter than any other month in the worldwide temperature level record. In July 2023, NASAs ER-2 aircraft flew near thunderclouds to study the relationship between lightning and atmospheric energy fields. NASAs AEROcAST flight project is a wind research study that aims to assist drones land securely on rooftop centers called vertiports for future shipment of individuals and goods. Led by NASAs Flight Opportunities program and administered by Future Engineers, the obstacle allows trainee teams to get involved directly in developing and building experiments for suborbital flight.
Information Shows July 2023 as Hottest Month on Record
According to research study by NASAs Goddard Institute for Space Studies, July 2023 was 0.43 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than any other July in NASAs record, and hotter than any other month in the global temperature level record. NASA and partner company NOAA discussed this and our changing environment throughout a news conference. According to NASA data, the 5 most popular Julys since 1880 have all taken place in the past five years.
In July 2023, NASAs ER-2 aircraft flew near thunderclouds to study the relationship in between lightning and climatic energy fields.

NASA Aircraft Flies High to Investigate Lightning
Scientists with the ALOFT project have been utilizing NASAs high-flying ER-2 aircraft to assist them study lightning and its connection to the large energy fields in our atmosphere. The ER-2 can fly above and as close to thunderclouds as securely possible to observe gamma-ray activity within thunderclouds and collect detailed data that can advance the research study of high-energy radiation emissions from thunderstorms.

Wind Study to Help Future Aircraft Land Safely
NASAs AEROcAST flight project is a wind research study that aims to assist drones land securely on rooftop hubs called vertiports for future delivery of products and people. The project utilizes drones, sensing units, weather condition balloons, and other innovation to measure wind at altitudes below 2,000 feet and gather other data to deal with unknowns that could prevent these types of flights. The project, which continues through this month, may likewise enhance weather forecast.
NASA is getting in touch with middle and high school trainees throughout the country to send experiment concepts for a high-altitude balloon or rocket-powered lander test flight in the 3rd TechRise Student Challenge. Credit: NASA
NASA Seeks Experiment Ideas for TechRise Student Challenge
NASA is trying to find high and middle school students across the country to submit experiment concepts to send out on a rocket-powered lander or a high-altitude balloon test flight as part of the third TechRise Student Challenge. Led by NASAs Flight Opportunities program and administered by Future Engineers, the obstacle enables trainee groups to get involved straight in creating and developing experiments for suborbital flight.
