  NASA's newest space telescope wasn't built to zoom in on a single mystery, it was built to show astronomers more of the universe at once

  Sep 7, 20269 min

  The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope combines the image quality of Hubble with a field of view that's dramatically larger. That will allow scientists to map vast portions of the sky, search for distant planets, and study some of the biggest unanswered questions in astronomy. Prior to the recent launch, I got more details from Matthew Bolcar, senior optical systems engineer at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

  Where to put data centers has been a contentious issue, one start up company is thinking space might be a good spot

  Sep 7, 202614 min

  What if the future of AI isn't in a massive data center on Earth, but orbiting hundreds of miles above it? One company is developing rockets, satellites, and space-based data centers designed to tackle the growing energy demands of artificial intelligence. We got to take a closer look at the vision and the challenges ahead with Cowboy Space Corportation's chief operating and legal officer, Joseph Yaffe.

  Getting down to the nuts and bolts of what it takes to keep space craft together, minus the nuts and bolts part

  Sep 7, 202613 min

  When you think aerospace engineering, glue probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But advanced structural adhesives are becoming a critical part of building everything from spacecraft to aircraft. We sat down with Click Bond's Bill Perez to learn why bonding technology is gaining ground in some of the world's most demanding environments.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .

  Observatory is turning the night sky on and pressing record

  Sep 7, 202611 min

  Imagine a telescope so powerful it can create the most detailed, time-lapse map of the universe ever assembled. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has begun The 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time, a groundbreaking project that will scan the entire night sky every few days, capture billions of changing objects, and generate an unprecedented "movie" of the cosmos over the next decade. I got the chance to speak with person in charge of this endeavor, astronomer Dr. Željko Ivezić to learn more about how this remarkable project could transform our understanding of everything from asteroids near Earth to the largest structures in the universe.

  GPS has been revolutionary for everyone, but only when it is able to work

  Aug 11, 202613 min

  GPS had become something we relied on every day—from navigation and deliveries to financial networks, utilities, and communications. But that dependence also created vulnerabilities. I recently had the chance to speak with Renee Gregory, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs for the company NextNav. We discussed the need for a more resilient GPS system, the emerging technologies that could provide a backup, and the roles of federal agencies in making that happen.
