✨What will the next 10 years look like for Mars✨

It's been a busy decade on Mars.

Since NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover touched down in 2012, it's driven nearly 18 miles (29 km), analyzed 41 rock and soil samples, and taken more than 500,000 pictures. As it's rolled through Gale Crater and the slopes of Mount Sharp, Curiosity has found evidence for long-ago lakes and tracked changing radiation levels, continuing our quest for signs of ancient Martian life while collecting the data we'll need for humans to set foot on the Red Planet.

Curiosity's mission was recently extended for another three years. Find out how we've kept this rover rolling for so long—and learn more about what's to come: https://go.nasa.gov/3BMiNIS

Excellent challenge to get involved with !

Help for everybody! We’re looking for creative problem solvers, coders, designers, storytellers, scientists & makers to use our open data to find solutions to some of Earth’s most pressing issues.

Register for the 2022 NASA Space Apps Challenge happening Oct. 1-2: https://go.nasa.gov/3uRjj3Z

Incredible🤩🤩 so excited to see the full set of full colour images and data coming ! ✨

It's here – the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field.

Previewed by President Joe Biden on July 11, the image shows us galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of full-color images and data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will be revealed July 12: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages

Growth of Ternary Compound Semiconductors (MSL SCA-GTCS) grows semiconductor cyrstals based on zinc selenide (ZnSe) compounds in microgravity. ZnSe-based crystals have been potential applications for high-power lasers operating in infrared wavelengths💡

The investigation🔎 compares structural quality of crystals grown on Earth and in microgravity to establish how gravity-driven fluid flows contribute to formation of various types of crystalline defects.

🌏 Applications !

Quality ZnSe-based crystals are integral to special optical applications, including optical windows, infrared (IR) lasers, and optical wavelength conversion devices💡

Last nights historical launch saw Blue Origin take the oldest 👩🏼‍✈️ absolute legend Wally Funk and youngest Oliver Daemon to the Karman line and back to earth 🌍 They were joined by founder Jeffrey Bezos and brother mark these these now astronauts are awarded their astronaut patch after their trip to space and back aboard the New Shepard!

🚀 Congratulations Blue Origin and crew especially Wally for fulfilling her lifelong dream

Fantastic event, speakers, company and energy!

Enthusiasm is of no shortage in Adelaide right now and we can see why. The Space sector in Australia has fantastic momentum being propelled further by the innovative companies in Adelaide at Lot Fourteen.

Big congratulations to The Andy Thomas Space Foundation for a world class event and driving a stellar ecosystem of innovators 🚀
