As the world looks for sustainable solutions, a system tapping into NASA satellite data for water management has passed a critical test. Called OpenET, the system uses an ensemble of six satellite-driven models that harness publicly available data from the Landsat program to calculate evapotranspiration (ET)—the movement of water vapor … [continued]
Perovskite solar cells are among the new technologies being assessed for the ambitious space solar project under way at Caltech.
What would it be like to know you could ride your bike or e-bike virtually everywhere without the fear of a flat tire? Patching a flat isn’t that difficult, but it is kind of a pain in the asphalt, and it does require having the tools and pump with you … [continued]

NASA is lending its financial muscle to help an Arizona startup send its self repairing solar panels into space and meet the demand for larger, more powerful arrays.
Space solar once seemed like a faraway dream, but the economic case is taking shape and the basic technology is at hand.
For space exploration and habitation, 3D printers could eventually use local material from the moon or Mars as a feedstock.
Record rainfall inundated towns and farmland in the country’s Thessaly region.
According to scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York, July 2023 was hotter than any other month in the global temperature record. “Since day one, President Biden has treated the climate crisis as the existential threat of our time,” said Ali Zaidi, White House National … [continued]
