SUMMARY:NASA MEDIA TELECON RE EXPERIMENTS ON SPX-29 CARGO MISSION\, Oct 26\, 2023\, virtual\, 11:00 am ET
DESCRIPTION:NASA will hold a media telecon on October 26\, 2023 at 11:00 am ET to discuss experiments that will be delivered to the International Space Station on the next SpaceX cargo mission\, SpX-29\, scheduled for launch on November 5\, 2023. \nMore information is in NASA’s press release\, which says: \nThe mission will carry scientific research\, technology demonstrations\, crew supplies\, and hardware to the space station to support its Expedition 70 crew\, including NASA’s Integrated Laser Communications Relay Demonstration Low Earth Orbit User Modem and Amplifier Terminal (ILLUMA-T) and Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE). \nTo ask questions during the teleconference\, media must RSVP no later than two hours before the event to Claire O’Shea at claire.a.o’shea@nasa.gov. NASA’s media accreditation policy is available online. The public can submit questions on social media using #AskNASA. \nDavid Brady\, associate program scientist for the International Space Station Program at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston\, will provide an overview of the research and technology launching aboard the Dragon spacecraft. \nOther teleconference participants include: \n\nJason Mitchell\, director for the Advanced Communications and Navigation Technologies Division in the Space Communication and Navigation (SCaN) Program\, Space Operations Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington\nGlenn Jackson\, acting project manager for ILLUMA-T\, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt\, Maryland\nDavid Cheney\, program executive for the Heliophysics Science Division\, Science Mission Directorate\, NASA Headquarters\nJeff Forbes\, deputy principal investigator for AWE\, University of Colorado\, Boulder\n\nOnce installed on the station’s exterior\, ILLUMA-T aims to test high data rate laser communications from the space station to the agency’s Laser Communications Relay Demonstration in geosynchronous orbit\, which will relay the data to Earth. The system uses invisible infrared light to send and receive information at higher data rates than traditional radio frequency systems. Working together\, ILLUMA-T and the Laser Communications Relay Demonstration will complete NASA’s first two-way laser communications relay system. \nAlso installed on the station’s exterior\, AWE will use an infrared imaging instrument to measure the characteristics\, distribution\, and movement of atmospheric gravity waves\, which roll through the Earth’s atmosphere when air is disturbed. Researchers also will look at how atmospheric gravity waves contribute to space weather\, which affects space-based and ground-based communications\, navigation\, and tracking systems. Increased insight into atmospheric gravity waves could improve understanding of Earth’s atmosphere\, weather\, and climate and development of ways to mitigate the effects of space weather.  \nGoddard manages ILLUMA-T in partnership with Johnson and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory for SCaN. As a Mission of Opportunity\, AWE is under NASA’s Heliophysics Explorers Program. The program is managed by Goddard for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate.
