Spacecraft Origami (live public talk)
For years, engineers have had to deal with "the tyranny of the fairing," that anything you want to send into space has to fit into the protective nosecone on top of the rocket. A field of advanced design has been looking for new ways to improve our engineering, using the centuries-old artform to dream bigger. Host:

Don’t Miss the Green Run Hot Fire of NASA’s Moon Rocket
The date is set. NASA and its partners, Boeing and Aerojet Rocketdyne, will conduct a “hot fire” of the core stage for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket on Jan. 16 at the agency’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The hot fire test is the eighth and final test of the SLS Green Run test series. Together with the previously completed structural test campaign and RS-25 test series, Green Run testing verifies the core stage and the engines are ready for NASA’s Artemis missions to the Moon. NASA will broadcast the Green Run Hot Fire test live on NASA TV and the agency’s website. For more information about SLS and Green Run, visit https://www.nasa.gov/greenrun
What Could Alien Worlds Really Be Like?
Are we too Earth-centric when we search for alien life? Life and the planetary bodies on which it can thrive may be much more diverse than we can imagine. Our Solar System and the exoplanets discovered so far provide us with a first glimpse of what is possible. Seth Shostak explores with Dirk Schultze-Makuch.

Tour: Triple Galaxy Mergers
When three galaxies collide, what happens to the huge black holes at the centers of each? A new study using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and several other telescopes reveals new information about how many black holes are furiously growing after these galactic smash ups. Astronomers want to learn more about galactic collisions because the subsequent mergers are a key way that galaxies and the giant black holes in their cores grow over cosmic time. There have been many studies of what happens to supermassive black holes when two galaxies merge, but this is one of the first to systematically look at what happens to black holes when three galaxies come together. Researchers identified triple galaxy merger systems by cross-matching the archives — containing data that is now publicly available — of NASA's WISE mission and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, or SDSS, to the Chandra archive. By doing this, they found seven triple galaxy mergers located between 370 million and one billion light years from Earth. Using specialized software developed, the team went through Chandra data targeting these systems to detect X-ray sources marking the location of growing supermassive black holes. As material falls toward a black hole, it gets heated to millions of degrees and produces X-rays. Chandra, with its sharp X-ray vision, is ideal for detecting growing supermassive black holes in mergers. The associated X-ray sources are challenging to detect because they are usually close together in images and are often faint. The new software was developed specifically to find such sources. Data from other telescopes was then used to rule out other possible origins of the X-ray emission unrelated to supermassive black holes. The results show that out of seven triple galaxy mergers there is one with a single growing supermassive black hole, four with double growing supermassive black holes, and one that is a triple. These black holes are separated by a range between 10,000 and 30,000 light years. In the final triple merger, there was no evidence of X-ray emission. This means that none of the supermassive black holes left was rapidly pulling in matter. Astronomers will continue to use Chandra to learn more about what role mergers play in how galaxies and the giant black holes in their centers grow over cosmic time.
National Team Completes Astronaut Day-in-the-Life Testing for Human Landing System (HLS)
The National Team (led by Blue Origin and including Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Draper) continues making progress on our bid for NASA’s Human Landing System (HLS). So far, we’ve completed 25 tests and demos, including day-in-the-life testing of the Ascent Element, to determine how astronauts will live and work in the lunar lander.

Where in Space Are We Going in 2021?
Despite everything that happened last year, we still got to do science, and missions still got to launch. We sampled asteroids and the Moon. We cruised around the surface of Mars. We flew by Venus on the way to Mercury. And we launched three more missions to the Red Planet, all of which arrive this year. What else can we look forward to in 2021? Join Franck Marchis and Beth Johnson for a look back at last year’s science and this year’s upcoming missions.

HiClip mini 4K: The Land of Noah
This observation is located within in a massive impact crater in Noachis Terra (Land of Noah), and our primary interest are the linear ridges and windblown bedforms on the floor. The strong linearity of the ridges suggest tectonic processes, and the small-scale topography might help us understand them better. Noachis Terra is an extensive landmass in the Southern Hemisphere of Mars. This is a non-narrated clip. Image is less than 5 km across and is 256 km above the surface.

Jan. 16: Artemis I Hot Fire Test
NASA is targeting the final test in the Green Run series, the hot fire, for Sat., Jan.16. The hot fire is the culmination of the Green Run test series, an eight-part test campaign that gradually brings the core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) — the deep space rocket that will power the Artemis program's human missions to the Moon — to life for the first time. All four of the stage’s RS-25 engines will be fired simultaneously for up to eight minutes to simulate the core stage’s performance during launch. The next time this core stage will be fired is during the launch of Artemis I, the first integrated flight of SLS and Orion, and the first mission of the agency’s Artemis program. For more information about the Artemis program, please visit https://www.nasa.gov/artemis/ Producer/Editor: Lacey Young
