The James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) will be the largest, most powerful telescope ever launched into space. It follows in the footsteps of the Hubble Space Telescope as the next great space science observatory, designed to answer outstanding questions about the Universe and to make breakthrough
discoveries in all fields of astronomy.
Webb will reveal the hidden Universe to our eyes: stars shrouded in clouds of dust, molecules in the atmospheres of other worlds, and light from the first stars and galaxies. With its suite of state-of-the-art instruments, Webb will push the frontiers of our knowledge of the Solar System, of how stars
and planets form, and of galaxy formation and evolution, in new ways.
The telescope will launch on an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. From there it embarks on a month-long journey to its destination orbit around the second Lagrange point (L2), about one and a half million kilometres from Earth. In the first month after launch, Webb will unfold its sunshield, which is the size of a tennis court, and then deploy its 6.5-metre
primary mirror that can detect the faint light of distant stars and galaxies with a sensitivity a hundred times greater than that of Hubble.
James Webb Space Telescope- in search of our originKshitij Bane
A presentation about The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) which will be launched in 2019. The presentation covers basic information about the telescope, its primary mirror, its orbit & the Sunshield. It also explains why the telescope will work in infrared region of electromagnetic spectrum and how it truly is an Engineering marvel.
The James Webb Space Telescope is NASA's next flagship mission. Webb will revolutionize astronomy in the infrared like the Hubble Space Telescope has done for the visible portion of the spectrum over the last 22 years. Webb will reveal the story of the formation of the first starts and galaxies, investigate the processes of planet formation, and trace the origins of life.

John A Chapman mining the moon 20060723John Chapman
NASA has announced a schedule and plan for the creation of a lunar base within 16 years as a precursor to establishing a base on Mars. Space agencies from Europe, Japan, India and China have expressed support for the NASA plan and/or their separate plans for a lunar base. This plan to explore and inhabit the Moon and then Mars is driven by the triple goals of scientific research, lunar/asteroid resource extraction and saving the earthbound human species from eventual extinction by asteroid/comet impact or super-volcano eruption. This paper proposes the application, on the Moon, of equipment and mining methods already well proven on Earth in very cold and dusty environments. The authors present an innovative combination of existing technologies for exploration and mining, including: mobile equipment, spare parts, sample analysis, remote controls, semi-autonomous controls, remote equipment "health" monitoring, real-time precision location and guidance, and the use of broadband WiMAX for communication to and from the proposed lunar base and Earth's Internet.
Reference Guide To The International Space StationSérgio Sacani
The International Space Station is a unique place – a convergence of science, technology and human innovation that demonstrates new technologies and makes research breakthroughs not possible on Earth.
It is a microgravity laboratory in which an international crew of six people live and work while traveling at a speed of five miles per second, orbiting Earth every 90 minutes.
The space station has been continuously occupied since November 2000. In that time, more than 200 people from 15 countries have visited.
Crew members spend about 35 hours each week conducting research in many disciplines to advance scientific knowledge in Earth, space, physical, and biological sciences for the benefit of people living on our home planet.
The station facilitates the growth of a robust commercial market in low-Earth orbit, operating as a national laboratory for scientific research and facilitating the development of U.S. commercial cargo and commercial crew space transportation capabilities.
More than an acre of solar arrays provide power to the station, and also make it the next brightest object in the night sky after the moon. You don’t even need a telescope to see it zoom over your house. And we’ll even send you a text message or email alert to let you know when (and where) to look up, spot the station, and wave!
Spirals and clumps in V960 Mon: signs of planet formation via gravitational i...Sérgio Sacani
The formation of giant planets has traditionally been divided into two pathways: core accretion and gravitational instability. However, in recent years, gravitational instability has become less favored, primarily due
to the scarcity of observations of fragmented protoplanetary disks around young stars and low occurrence rate
of massive planets on very wide orbits. In this study, we present a SPHERE/IRDIS polarized light observation
of the young outbursting object V960 Mon. The image reveals a vast structure of intricately shaped scattered
light with several spiral arms. This finding motivated a re-analysis of archival ALMA 1.3 mm data acquired
just two years after the onset of the outburst of V960 Mon. In these data, we discover several clumps of continuum emission aligned along a spiral arm that coincides with the scattered light structure. We interpret the
localized emission as fragments formed from a spiral arm under gravitational collapse. Estimating the mass of
solids within these clumps to be of several Earth masses, we suggest this observation to be the first evidence of
gravitational instability occurring on planetary scales. This study discusses the significance of this finding for
planet formation and its potential connection with the outbursting state of V960 Mon.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

8. Hitomi mishap
• JAXA declared the shutdown of Hitomi on April 28, before
achieving regular operations for science. This deeply
disappointed the astrophysics community in the world,
particularly people who have been involved in the
development of the instruments aboard Hitomi over the
years.
• We were able to obtain SXS data of the Perseus cluster in the
initial operation phase, which is a stunning demonstration for
the in-orbit performance of the X-ray micro-calorimeter
developed by NASA/GSFC.
• ISAS, ISAS ASTRO-H project, primary contractor (NEC) and
Japanese X-ray astronomy community are deeply aware of
responsibility for the disaster.

9. Anomaly investigation
and recovery of the mission
• The anomaly is due to two different design-problems
and one improper operation procedure all related to
the Hitomi’s attitude control/safe-hold system.
• Technical culprit was identified and deeper cause of
the problems including sociological factors were
analyzed in the JAXA report to GOJ. All findings are
open to public.
• My priorities have been (1) to fix the problems in our
system that led to the mishap, (2) to recover the
Hitomi science with SXS with NASA, and (3) to
maintain the strong partnership with NASA and other
agencies. 9
