NASA Langley Research Center will play host the world’s leading Mars scientists in Williamsburg next week, marking the first time that this international workshop on the Mars atmosphere has been held in the United States.
Just released today from NASA.
The NASA EDGE team will be out at ATK in Promontory, Utah next week covering the ST-1 Abort Motor Static Test for the Launch Abort System (LAS). If you have any LAS or NASA questions you want answered on a vodcast then send us an email at nasaedge@lists.nasa.gov. I hear the co-host has an extensive resource reel in a secret location.
All the best,
Chris

Usually when I go on vacation I try not to think about work all that often. I’m not always successful (as some of my co-workers will tell you), but I do try.
But recently I went out of my way to check out an aerospace exhibit I ran across … in Sydney, Australia! It was at the Powerhouse Museum on Harris Street near Darling Harbour. We went to the museum, because I thought it would interest my engineer husband and because it was unusually cold in Sydney (the coldest day in October in 35 years) and we were looking for something warm to do besides eat.

Yes, it’s true. NASA Langley is holding a Yuri’s Night at the Virginia Air & Space Center on Saturday, April 4, from 7 p.m. to midnight. Join us for a night of space-age music, costumes, bars, VIP lounge, observation deck, and wildness at a most intriguing venue.
What is Yuri’s Night? It is one day when all the world can come together and celebrate the power and beauty of space and what it means for each of us. Yuri’s Night is like the St Patrick’s Day or Cinco de Mayo for space, to quote the Yuri’s Night web site. It’s named after Yuri Gagarin, the first human to go into space on April 12, 1961. The U.S. space shuttle first launched on April 12, 1981.
Everyone is invited. More details to follow. Check out the invitation on Facebook.
I just noticed that I had 145 best friends (BF) on Facebook. So, I decided to look at my other social networking gizmos. I have 123 followers on Twitter and 81 people in my LinkedIn network. So what?”
This is a great blog by Linda Cureton, the chief information officer at Goddard. Check out her latest, a musing on social networking.
WASHINGTON — NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander has ceased communications after operating for more than five months. As anticipated, seasonal decline in sunshine at the robot’s arctic landing site is not providing enough sunlight for the solar arrays to collect the power necessary to charge batteries that operate the lander’s instruments.
