Robotic exploration missions provide vast amounts of data to help NASA prepare for future human exploration and learn more about the universe. Research Objective: Scientists use data returned by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera to learn why boulders are present on some wrinkle ridges and not others. Description: Lunar wrinkle ridges are tectonic features resulting from compressive stresses. The ridge shown here has a well-defined, broad rise with numerous superposed wrinkles. Also...

JSC2000-02939 (5 April 2000) --- David Pogue (left), a crew escape equipment trainer, briefs astronaut Daniel C. Burbank on the usage of a special device that enables the mission specialist to rappel from a shuttle in trouble on the ground. A nearby crew-training mockup in the JSC's Systems Integration Facility allowed Burbank and his six crew mates the opportunity to train for procedures to follow in the event of the need to evacuate a distressed shuttle's cabin while on the ground.

Space shuttle Discovery's launch for the STS-133 mission has been targeted for no earlier than February 3, 2011 to allow for more testing on two 21-foot-long, U-shaped aluminum brackets, called stringers, on the shuttle's external tank. NASA repaired the cracks and reapplied foam to the exterior of the stringers. Engineers will continue to search for the root cause of the stringer cracks through data analysis and tests, including placement of manufacturing defects in separate stringers to...
