Join Fraser Cain and Pamela Gay for a live episode of Astronomy Cast. We'll record our 30-minute show, and then stay tuned for them to answer questions! For the longest time astronomers could only study the skies with telescopes. But then new techniques and technologies were developed to help us see in different wavelengths. Now astronomers can study objects in both visible light, neutrinos, gravitational waves and more. The era of multi-messenger astronomy is here. Want to support CosmoQuest?

This mission is a test of Crew Dragon's abort capability as part of NASA'a Commercial Crew Integrated Capability program (CCiCap). SpaceX will launch a Crew Dragon capsule from LC-39A, Kennedy Space Center on a fully fueled Falcon 9 rocket and then trigger the launch escape system during the period of maximum dynamic pressure. The abort sequence terminates launcher thrust, separates Dragon and trunk from the second stage, and ignites the eight SuperDraco engines which pull the capsule away from the launch vehicle. Following shutdown of the SuperDracos Dragon coasts to apogee, separates from the trunk, and lands in the Atlantic Ocean under parachutes. Crew Dragon will be recovered by GO Searcher after splashdown approximately 30 km from the launch site. This flight does not go to orbit. Falcon 9 core 1046.4 flies in expendable configuration, without legs, grid fins, or TEA-TEB engine ignition fluid. Since the abort sequence will be initiated before staging, the second stage has not been equipped with an Mvac engine or the associated hardware, but is expected to be fueled. Falcon 9 will likely break apart due to aerodynamic loads immediately following Crew Dragon's escape, however it is possible the rocket may break apart later, or impact the ocean intact. SpaceX crews will recover any surface debris. The abort test occurs approximately 88 seconds into flight. Breakup of Falcon 9 is expected within seconds thereafter. Splashdown of the capsule will occur within a few minutes following abort. ************************************************************** To learn more about our weather balloon flights, Arduino based flight computer, APRS transmitter, RTTY radio transmitter, ham radio balloon tracking methods or any of our other on-board technology and data sensors visit ➡️ http://overlookhorizon.com Connect with us ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com ➡️http://youtube.com/OLHZN ➡️http://facebook.com/overlookhorizon ➡️http://twitter.com/OLHZN ➡️http://instagram.com/OLHZN ➡️http://patreon.com/overlookhorizon ➡️http://reddit.com/u/olhzn ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/discord 501(c)(3) Charitable Donations ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/donate ➡️https://donorbox.org/olhzn ➡️https://paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2727446 ➡️https://smile.amazon.com/ch/82-3099711 Shop & see the weather balloon equipment we use: ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shop ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shirts ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/photos Giveaway Rules No Purchase Necessary.

NASA and SpaceX completed a launch escape demonstration of the company’s Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket Sunday, Jan. 19, 2020. This was the final major flight test of the spacecraft before it begins carrying astronauts to the International Space Station under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Crew Dragon lifted off from Launch Complex 39A aboard a Falcon 9 rocket at 10:30 a.m. EST, then separated from the rocket after an intentionally triggered launch escape. Dragon’s drogue and main parachutes sequenced to provide for a soft landing in the Atlantic Ocean.

SpaceX is targeting Sunday, January 19 for an in-flight test of Crew Dragon’s launch escape capabilities from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This test, which does not have NASA astronauts onboard the spacecraft, is intended to demonstrate Crew Dragon’s ability to reliably carry crew to safety in the unlikely event of an emergency on ascent. The six-hour test window opens at 8:00 a.m. EST, or 13:00 UTC. A backup opportunity with the same six-hour launch window opening at 8:00 a.m. EST, or 13:00 UTC, is available on Monday, January 20. Current weather data suggests our best opportunity for the launch escape test will be towards the end of the four-hour window, but we will continue to provide updates as new data becomes available.

SpaceX is targeting Monday, January 6 at 9:19 p.m. EST, or 2:19 UTC on January 7, for its third launch of Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. A backup launch opportunity is available on Tuesday, January 7 at 8:57 p.m. EST, or 1:57 UTC on January 8. Falcon 9’s first stage supported a Starlink mission in May 2019, the Iridium-8 mission in January 2019, and the Telstar 18 VANTAGE mission in September 2018. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Approximately 45 minutes after liftoff, SpaceX’s fairing recovery vessel, “Ms. Tree,” will attempt to recover a payload fairing half.

Tune in as Boeing's uncrewed Starliner spacecraft lands at White Sands, New Mexico. Landing is scheduled at 7:57 a.m. EST on Sunday, Dec. 22. After its launch on Dec. 20, the Starliner did not reach the planned orbit and will not dock to the International Space Station. Teams worked quickly to ensure the spacecraft was in a stable orbit and preserved enough fuel for a landing opportunity.

Join me live for the Entry, Descent & Landing of the uncrewed Orbital Flight Test (#OFT) of #Boeing's CST-100 #Starliner spacecraft. This flight was scheduled to reach the International Space Station, but after an anomaly during launch & orbit circularization, the mission is forced to end early with a landing at the White Sands Missile Range. ************************************************************** To learn more about our weather balloon flights, Arduino based flight computer, APRS transmitter, RTTY radio transmitter, ham radio balloon tracking methods or any of our other on-board technology and data sensors visit ➡️ http://overlookhorizon.com Connect with us ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com ➡️http://youtube.com/OLHZN ➡️http://facebook.com/overlookhorizon ➡️http://twitter.com/OLHZN ➡️http://instagram.com/OLHZN ➡️http://patreon.com/overlookhorizon ➡️http://reddit.com/u/olhzn ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/discord 501(c)(3) Charitable Donations ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/donate ➡️https://donorbox.org/olhzn ➡️https://paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2727446 ➡️https://smile.amazon.com/ch/82-3099711 Shop & see the weather balloon equipment we use: ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shop ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shirts ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/photos Giveaway Rules No Purchase Necessary.

On its ninth and last mission of the year, Arianespace orbited innovative satellites that address the need for autonomy and reliable access to space by Italy, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the French space agency CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales). It also served theambitions of two young innovative companies: Tyvak and Hemeria. COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation, the main payload on the mission, CHEOPS (Characterizing Exoplanet Satellite), and three auxiliary payloads, ANGELS, EyeSat and OPS-SAT, were successfully placed in orbit. The launch took place on Wednesday, December 18, 2019 at 5:54 am (local time) from the Guiana Space Center (CSG) in Kourou, French Guiana (South America). With this successful 23rd launch of the Soyuz medium-lift launcher from CSG, Arianespace has now launched a total of 159 satellites for European institutions, once again demonstrating the flexibility of its launcher family, comprising Ariane, Soyuz and Vega.

SpaceX is targeting Monday, December 16 for launch of JCSAT-18/Kacific1 from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The launch window opens at 7:10 p.m EST, or 00:10 UTC on December 17, and closes at 8:38 p.m. EST, 01:38 UTC on December 17. A backup launch window is available on Tuesday, December 17 that opens at 7:10 p.m EST, or 00:10 UTC on December 18, and closes at 8:38 p.m. EST, 01:38 UTC on December 18. The satellite will be deployed at approximately 33 minutes after liftoff. Falcon 9’s first stage for the JCSAT-18/Kacific1 mission previously supported the CRS-17 mission in May 2019 and the CRS-18 mission in July 2019. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Approximately 45 minutes after liftoff, SpaceX’s two fairing recovery vessels, “Ms. Tree” and “Ms. Chief,” will attempt to recover the two fairing halves.

The #DailySpace brings you the universe at 10am PST / 1pm EST / 5pm GMT on twitch.tv/CosmoQuestX. It has long been a joke in Astronomy that if you wanted to really mess with someone, you should ask “how do magnetic fields and dust effect that?” These two factors, which permeate most of space in various amounts, are extraordinarily hard to understand, but affect everything. To make life easier, we often assume their effects are negligible, and hope we are right as we move on with calculations that ignore their tedious equations, and complicating effects. But sometimes, a researcher or research team will actively seek to understand how these two things actually play a role in the evolution of this universe we all share. Today’s first two stories come from science teams who took this extra step. Want to support CosmoQuest?
