SpaceX is targeting Sunday, October 18 at 8:25 a.m. EDT, 12:25 UTC, for its fourteenth Starlink mission, which will launch 60 Starlink satellites to orbit. Falcon 9 will lift off from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and a backup opportunity is available on Monday, October 19 at 8:06 a.m. EDT, 12:06 UTC. Falcon 9’s first stage previously supported Crew Dragon’s first demonstration mission to the International Space Station, launch of the RADARSAT Constellation Mission, and three Starlink missions this year. 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. Falcon 9’s fairing halves each previously supported two missions.

Launching soon from the U.S. West Coast, the satellite will track sea levels worldwide. In a series of live question-and-answer sessions, we invite you to meet some of the scientists and engineers on the mission. Growing up in landlocked Zimbabwe, NASA JPL engineer Shailen Desai was far from the ocean but still experienced its effects on the climate. Now, he is contributing to an international effort to track our rising seas. See selected profiles at https://go.nasa.gov/34FxDPc The world's latest ocean-monitoring satellite is being readied for its launch from California on Nov. 10. The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich spacecraft will ensure continuity of the Jason series of missions to better our understanding of our rising seas and help shape the future of sea-level studies. Designed to collect the most accurate satellite data for our continuing measurements of global sea level and to help us understand how our oceans are responding to climate change, the spacecraft is the product of a partnership between NASA, ESA (the European Space Agency), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

NASA has selected 10 companies to participate as finalists in the 2020 NASA iTech Cycle II forum. The forum, which will be held virtually Oct. 15-16, is the culmination of NASA iTech’s search for innovative ideas from entrepreneurs in 2020. The NASA iTech initiative seeks trailblazing technologies that could enhance NASA’s missions while also improving life on Earth. This current cycle specifically called for innovative technologies in the areas of power generation and energy, integrated photonics, advanced engineered materials, and miniaturized systems. NASA also left open a category for “X-factor innovations,” technologies and concepts that may not fit the other prescribed categories but still sparked the agency's curiosity. Applications for this NASA iTech cycle came from around the globe. Through a competitive process, NASA chief technologists narrowed those entries to the top 10 that demonstrate the most potential to solve problems – in space and on Earth. The top 10 finalists invited to present at the 2020 NASA iTech Cycle II forum are (in alphabetical order): AI Technologies & Systems – Milpitas, California AutonomIQ – San Jose, California HyPoint Inc. – Menlo Park, California LVX System – Cape Canaveral, Florida (Winner of a NASA iTech Ignite the Night) Nanoprecise Sci Corporation – Edmonton, Canada Ommo Technologies Inc. – Dallas OrbitsEdge – Titusville, Florida organicNANO – Monroe, Louisiana (Winner of a NASA iTech Ignite the Night) Rapair Medical Devices – Bagotville, Australia (Winner of a NASA iTech Ignite the Night) Stofiel Aerospace – St. Louis At the two-day forum, these finalists will present and workshop their solutions as they participate alongside NASA, innovators, investors, and industry leaders in a series of thematic discussions and impact tables. Video of the finalists’ presentations will be streamed online starting at 10:30 a.m. EDT, Thursday, Oct. 15. NASA officials will name the top three winners of the 2020 NASA iTech Cycle II after a keynote address which will close out the virtual forum Friday Oct. 16, at 4 p.m. View the detailed schedule and watch it live at https://livestream.com/nasaitech.

How is the SETI Institute ramping up the search for extraterrestrial intelligence? Initiatives that will speed our reconnaissance of the heavens include new receivers, the use of the Very Large Array in New Mexico, and the possibility that astronomers could find massive artifacts near distant worlds. Hear Andrew Siemion and Seth Shostak discuss the latest SETI developments.

Got a great question from Space Junk Podcast Listener who wants to write software in a professional astronomy setting. Since that's what I spent my career doing, I thought I'd share my advice.

This week I'll be talking with Professor Dirk Schulze-Makuch who has focused his research for extraterrestrial life. He wrote many of the textbooks that astrobiologists use to learn the science, and has published many popular science books. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirk_Schulze-Makuch http://www.searchforlifeintheuniverse.com/ Our Book is out! https://www.amazon.com/Universe-Today-Ultimate-Viewing-Cosmos/dp/1624145442/ Audio Podcast version: ITunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/universe-today-guide-to-space-audio/id794058155?mt=2 RSS: https://www.universetoday.com/audio What Fraser's Watching Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbJ42wpShvmkjd428BcHcCEVWOjv7cJ1G Weekly email newsletter: https://www.universetoday.com/newsletter Weekly Space Hangout: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0-KklSGlCiJDwOPdR2EUcg/ Astronomy Cast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUHI67dh9jEO2rvK--MdCSg Support us at: https://www.patreon.com/universetoday More stories at: https://www.universetoday.com/ Twitch: https://twitch.tv/fcain Follow us on Twitter: @universetoday Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/universetoday Instagram - https://instagram.com/universetoday Team: Fraser Cain - @fcain / [email protected] Karla Thompson - @karlaii / https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEItkORQYd4Wf0TpgYI_1fw Chad Weber - [email protected]

This week we are joined by Dr. Jane Huang and Dr. Jonathan Willams from the Center for Astrophysics, Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA). Dr. Huang, Dr. Williams, and their team recently discovered some surprising information about the size and shape of some protoplanetary disks. In their peer-reviewed paper published in The Astrohpysical Journal, it was announced that the protoplanetary disk surrounding the star RU Lup (in the constellation of Lupus) is not only surprisingly large, but also has a very distinct spiral shape that extends nearly 1000 AU beyond Ru Lup. You can read more about this exciting discovery here: https://earthsky.org/space/ru-lup-spiral-shaped-protoplanetary-disk Additionally, the team's peer-reviewed paper is available for download here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.02974 Dr. Jane Huang is a Sagan Fellow at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics at Harvard University. Her research uses powerful radio telescopes to study the structure and chemistry of planet-forming environments in order to understand the diverse origins of planets. You can learn more about Jane and her research by visiting https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/jnhuang/ Like many academics, Jonathan Williams was a nomad. He grew up in the UK and obtained a B.A. at Cambridge Univesity in 1988. He then moved to the US where he obtained a Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. After postdoctoral and teaching positions around the US, he became a professor at the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii in 2002. There he balances research, teaching, and administration with a patient wife and two sons. To slow down, he escapes in a small sailboat on the calm waters of Kaneohe Bay.

Tune in LIVE as three space travelers launch to the International Space Station on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 1:45 a.m. EDT.  Astronaut Kate Rubins of NASA, and Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov of the Russian space agency Roscosmos will lift off aboard the Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft for a two-orbit, three-hour journey to dock to the orbiting laboratory. Live coverage of the launch begins at 12:45 a.m. EDT. This is the second trip to space for both Rubins and Ryzhikov, and the first for Kud-Sverchkov. During their six-month mission, they will welcome SpaceX Crew-1 astronauts Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker of NASA, and Soichi Noguchi of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency).

NASA has partnered with Blue Origin and will put their new technology on the booster stage in order to test it in hopes that it will be suitable enough to be used a quarter of a million miles away on the Moon. This will be another short, suborbital flight out of Blue Origin’s private facility on Corn Ranch located in West Texas, United States of America. Want to learn more?!?
