Folder with multiple inserts The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is a research development and flight center owned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and operated by the California Institute of Technology. JPL's primary responsibility is the investigation of the solar system with automated scientific spacecraft. The Laboratory's activities however are not limited to space exploration. The basic research and development in support of space exploration involves a broad spectrum of scientific and engineering disciplines; the resulting technological and managerial capabilities are finding increasing application to medical and environmental problems on earth especially in the area of solar energy research. To provide spacecraft tracking and communications for deep-space missions JPL designed developed and manages the Deep Space Network DSN with stations in California Spain and Australia. The twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before. Continuing on their more-than-40-year journey since their 1977 launches they each are much farther away from Earth and the sun than Pluto. In August 2012 Voyager 1 made the historic entry into interstellar space the region between stars filled with material ejected by the death of nearby stars millions of years ago. Voyager 2 entered interstellar space on November 5 2018 and scientists hope to learn more about this region. Both spacecraft are still sending scientific information about their surroundings through the Deep Space Network or DSN. The primary mission was the exploration of Jupiter and Saturn. After making a string of discoveries there — such as active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io and intricacies of Saturn's rings — the mission was extended.

Juno Launch; Press Kit August 2011
Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2011. Xerox-style reproduction. Presumed to be one of only a few copies made for media representatives. Stapled at upper left corner. Very good. 25 1 pages. Illustrations. Contents include Media Services Information; Quick Facts; Jupiter at a Glance; Why Juno; Mission Overview; Mission Phases; Spacecraft; Science Overview; Missions to Jupiter; and Program/Project Management. Juno is a NASA space probe orbiting the planet Jupiter. It was built by Lockheed Martin and is operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on August 5 2011 UTC as part of the New Frontiers program. Juno entered a polar orbit of Jupiter on July 5 2016 UTC to begin a scientific investigation of the planet. After completing its mission Juno will be intentionally deorbited into Jupiter's atmosphere. Juno's mission is to measure Jupiter's composition gravitational field magnetic field and polar magnetosphere. It will also search for clues about how the planet formed including whether it has a rocky core the amount of water present within the deep atmosphere mass distribution and its deep winds which can reach speeds up to 390 mph. Juno is the second spacecraft to orbit Jupiter after the nuclear powered Galileo orbiter which orbited from 1995 to 2003. Juno is powered by solar panels commonly used by satellites orbiting Earth and working in the inner Solar System whereas radioisotope thermoelectric generators are commonly used for missions to the outer Solar System and beyond. For Juno however the three largest solar panel wings ever deployed on a planetary probe play an integral role in stabilizing the spacecraft as well as generating power. During the science mission infrared and microwave instruments will measure the thermal radiation emanating from deep within Jupiter's atmosphere. These observations will complement previous studies of its composition by assessing the abundance and distribution of water and therefore oxygen. This data will provide insight into Jupiter's origins. Juno will also investigate the convection that drives natural circulation patterns in Jupiter's atmosphere. Other instruments aboard Juno will gather data about its gravitational field and polar magnetosphere. The Juno mission was planned to conclude in February 2018 after completing 37 orbits of Jupiter but now has been commissioned through 2025 to do a further 42 additional orbits of Jupiter as well as close flybys of Ganymede Europa and Io. The probe was then intended to be deorbited and burnt up in Jupiter's outer atmosphere to avoid any possibility of impact and biological contamination of one of its moons. The Juno spacecraft's suite of science instruments will: Determine the ratio of oxygen to hydrogen effectively measuring the abundance of water in Jupiter which will help distinguish among prevailing theories linking Jupiter's formation to the Solar System; Obtain a better estimate of Jupiter's core mass which will also help distinguish among prevailing theories linking Jupiter's formation to the Solar System; Precisely map Jupiter's gravitational field to assess the distribution of mass in Jupiter's interior including properties of its structure and dynamics; Precisely map Jupiter's magnetic field to assess the origin and structure of the field and the depth at which the planet's magnetic field is created. This experiment will also help scientists understand the fundamental physics of dynamo theory; Map the variation in atmospheric composition temperature structure cloud opacity and dynamics to pressures far greater than 100 bar 10 MPa; 1500 psi at all latitudes; Characterize and explore the three-dimensional structure of Jupiter's polar magnetosphere and auroras; and Measure the orbital frame-dragging known also as Lense-Thirring precession caused by the angular momentum of Jupiter and possibly a new test of general relativity effects connected with the Jovian rotation.

The John F. Kennedy Space Center KSC originally known as the NASA Launch Operations Center located on Merritt Island Florida is one of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's NASA ten field centers. Since December 1968 KSC has been NASA's primary launch center of human spaceflight. Launch operations for the Apollo Skylab and Space Shuttle programs were carried out from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39 and managed by KSC. Located on the east coast of Florida KSC is adjacent to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station CCSFS. The management of the two entities work very closely together share resources and operate facilities on each other's property. Though the first Apollo flights and all Project Mercury and Project Gemini flights took off from the then-Cape Canaveral Air Force Station the launches were managed by KSC and its previous organization the Launch Operations Directorate. Starting with the fourth Gemini mission the NASA launch control center in Florida Mercury Control Center later the Launch Control Center began handing off control of the vehicle to the Mission Control Center in Houston shortly after liftoff; in prior missions it held control throughout the entire mission. Additionally the center manages launch of robotic and commercial crew missions and researches food production and in-situ resource utilization for off-Earth exploration. Since 2010 the center has worked to become a multi-user spaceport through industry partnerships even adding a new launch pad LC-39C in 2015. There are about 700 facilities and buildings grouped throughout the center's 144000 acres. Among the unique facilities at KSC are the 525-foot tall Vehicle Assembly Building for stacking NASA's largest rockets the Launch Control Center which conducts space launches at KSC the Operations and Checkout Building which houses the astronauts dormitories and suit-up area a Space Station factory and a 3-mile long Shuttle Landing Facility.

Kepler: NASA's First Mission Capable of Finding Earth-Size Planets; Press Kit February 2009
Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2009. Presumed First Edition First printing. Comb binding. Very good. 31 3 pages including covers. Contents include Media Services Information; Quick Facts; NASA's Search for Habitable Planets; Scientific Goals and Objectives; Mission Overview; Spacecraft; Instrument - Photometer; Selecting the Kepler Star Field; Education and Public Outreach; Other Exoplanet Activities; Science Team; and Project Management. The Kepler space telescope is a disused space telescope launched by NASA in 2009 to discover Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars. Named after astronomer Johannes Kepler the spacecraft was launched into an Earth-trailing heliocentric orbit. The principal investigator was William J. Borucki. After nine and a half years of operation the telescope's reaction control system fuel was depleted and NASA announced its retirement on October 30 2018.<br /> Designed to survey a portion of Earth's region of the Milky Way to discover Earth-size exoplanets in or near habitable zones and estimate how many of the billions of stars in the Milky Way have such planets Kepler's sole scientific instrument is a photometer that continually monitored the brightness of approximately 150000 main sequence stars in a fixed field of view. These data were transmitted to Earth then analyzed to detect periodic dimming caused by exoplanets that cross in front of their host star. Only planets whose orbits are seen edge-on from Earth could be detected. Kepler observed 530506 stars and detected 2778 confirmed planets as of June 16 2023. By January 2015 Kepler and its follow-up observations had found 1013 confirmed exoplanets in about 440 star systems along with a further 3199 unconfirmed planet candidates. Four planets have been confirmed through Kepler's K2 mission. In November 2013 astronomers estimated based on Kepler space mission data that there could be as many as 40 billion rocky Earth-size exoplanets orbiting in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars and red dwarfs within the Milky Way. It is estimated that 11 billion of these planets may be orbiting Sun-like stars. The nearest such planet may be 3.7 parsecs 12 ly away according to the scientists. On January 6 2015 NASA announced the 1000th confirmed exoplanet discovered by the Kepler space telescope. Four of the newly confirmed exoplanets were found to orbit within habitable zones of their related stars: three of the four Kepler-438b Kepler-442b and Kepler-452b are almost Earth-size and likely rocky; the fourth Kepler-440b is a super-Earth. On May 10 2016 NASA verified 1284 new exoplanets found by Kepler the single largest finding of planets to date. Kepler data has also helped scientists observe and understand supernovae; measurements were collected every half-hour so the light curves were especially useful for studying these types of astronomical events.

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter LRO: Leading NASA's Way Back to the Moon; Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite LCROSS: NASA's Mission to Search for Water on the Moon Press Kit/June 2009 NP-2009-05-88-MSFC
George C. Marshall Space Flight Center Huntsville A.: National Aeronautics and Space Administration George C. Marshall Space Flight Center 2009. Xerox-style reproduction. Assume only a few copies were made for medial representatives. Stapled at upper left corner. Good. Front cover i 1 36 2 pages. Illustrations. Three-hole punched. The top corner of some of the some of the back pages are bent/creased. Contents include Contacts; Media Services Information; LRO/LCROSS Executive Summary; Mission Quick Facts; LRO Quick Facts; LCROSS Quick Facts; Launch Vehicles Mated with LRO/LCROSS; LRO/LCROSS Mission Trajectory; Why the Moon; Historical Explorations of the Moon; LRO Mission Overview; LRO Mission at a Glance; LRO Instruments; LRO Across the Country; LRO Products and Benefits: LRO Spacecraft With Instruments; Treasure Hunting on the Moon: LRO and the Search for Water; Robot Scout: Fly Me Safely to the Moon; LCROSS Mission Overview; LCROSS Mission at a Glance; The Search for Water on the Moon; LCROSS Science Instruments; LCROSS Spacecraft; LCROSS Observation Campaign; Future NASA Lunar Missions; and Program/Project Oversight. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter LRO is a NASA robotic spacecraft currently orbiting the Moon in an eccentric polar mapping orbit. Data collected by LRO have been described as essential for planning NASA's future human and robotic missions to the Moon. Its detailed mapping program is identifying safe landing sites locating potential resources on the Moon characterizing the radiation environment and demonstrating new technologies. Launched on June 18 2009 in conjunction with the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite LCROSS as the vanguard of NASA's Lunar Precursor Robotic Program LRO was the first United States mission to the Moon in over ten years. LRO and LCROSS were launched as part of the United States's Vision for Space Exploration program. The probe has made a 3-D map of the Moon's surface at 100-meter resolution and 98.2% coverage excluding polar areas in deep shadow including 0.5-meter resolution images of Apollo landing sites. The first images from LRO were published on July 2 2009 showing a region in the lunar highlands south of Mare Nubium Sea of Clouds. The total cost of the mission is reported as US$583 million of which $504 million pertains to the main LRO probe and $79 million to the LCROSS satellite. As of 2019 LRO has enough fuel to continue operations for at least seven more years and NASA expects to continue utilizing LRO's reconnaissance capabilities to identify sites for lunar landers well into the 2020s. The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite LCROSS was a robotic spacecraft operated by NASA. The mission was conceived as a low-cost means of determining the nature of hydrogen detected at the polar regions of the Moon. Launched immediately after discovery of lunar water by Chandrayaan-1 the main LCROSS mission objective was to further explore the presence of water in the form of ice in a permanently shadowed crater near a lunar polar region. It was successful in confirming water in the southern lunar crater Cabeus. It was launched together with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter LRO on June 18 2009 as part of the shared Lunar Precursor Robotic Program the first American mission to the Moon in over ten years. LCROSS was designed to collect and relay data from the impact and debris plume resulting from the launch vehicle's spent Centaur upper stage and data-collecting Shepherding Spacecraft striking the crater Cabeus near the south pole of the Moon. Centaur had nominal impact mass of 5081 lb and an impact velocity of about 5600 mph releasing the kinetic energy equivalent of detonating approximately 2 tons of TNT. LCROSS suffered a malfunction on August 22 depleting half of its fuel and leaving very little fuel margin in the spacecraft. Centaur impacted successfully on October 9 2009 at 11:31 UTC. The Shepherding Spacecraft descended through Centaur's ejectate plume collected and relayed data impacting six minutes later at 11:37 UTC. Contrary to media reports at the time neither the impact nor its dust cloud could be seen from Earth using the naked eye or telescopes. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, George C.

The overall objectives include investigating Mars' habitability studying its climate and geology and collecting data for a human mission to Mars. The rover carries a variety of scientific instruments designed by an international team. Contents include Media Services Information; Quick Facts; Mars at a Glance: Mars Science Laboratory Investigations; Mission Overview; Comparing Two Mars Rover Projects; Spacecraft; Mars Science Laboratory Landing Site; Recent Current and Upcoming Missions; Mars Science: A Story of Changes; Historical Mars Missions; and Program/Project Management. For several reasons a different landing system was chosen for MSL compared to previous Mars landers and rovers. Curiosity was considered too heavy to use the airbag landing system as used on the Mars Pathfinder and Mars Exploration Rovers. The MSL engineers came up with a novel alternative solution: the sky crane. The sky crane system lowered the rover with a 25 ft tether to a soft landing—wheels down—on the surface of Mars. This system consists of a bridle lowering the rover on three nylon tethers and an electrical cable carrying information and power between the descent stage and rover. As the support and data cables unreeled the rover's six motorized wheels snapped into position. At roughly 25 ft below the descent stage the sky crane system slowed to a halt and the rover touched down. After the rover touched down it waited two seconds to confirm that it was on solid ground by detecting the weight on the wheels and fired several pyros small explosive devices activating cable cutters on the bridle and umbilical cords to free itself from the descent stage. The descent stage then flew away to a crash landing 2100 ft away. The sky crane concept had never been used in missions before. National Aeronautics and Space Administration unknown

This official Mission Complete Medallion is 1.75" and commemorates the historic completion of the Space Shuttle Program. In addition this limited edition medallion commemorates the exceptional accomplishments and missions of the first winged-spacecrafts. Minted with the same Shuttle flown ingots included in the NASA Award Medallions this medallion is the second in the series and is also worthy of the program it represents. The official Space Shuttle Program Commemorative Design will be embedded in full color on one side while the other side will dimensionally render a Space Shuttle at work through a launch space mission and landing. These medallions will be plated in Antique Bronze and protected within circular presentation cases with high-density black foam spacers. The Space Shuttle Program was from 1981 to 2011. This design is by Blake Dumesnil. MR. Dumesnil is a senior art director and graphic designer at NASA's Johnson Space Center JSC. Much of the work he does supports the JSC Engineering and Science Directorate as well as the Jacobs-JETS contract. His design work includes all forms of visual presentation and marketing materials used to convey what expertise resources technologies and innovations at JSC in hopes of bringing in new forms of work from a variety of industries. As part of NASA's strive to partner with other industries he has helped represent NASA's involvement in Pumps & Pipes a collaborative effort between the Energy Medical and Aerospace industries in Houston that aims to solve common challenges through new technology and innovation development.

Mission STS-122 Patch Sticker
Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration c2007. Presumed First Edition First printing. Single sheet sticker of mission patch printed on both sides. Very good. The format is 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches. The design is one square offset over a square of equal size making an eight-pointed 'star'. The base square has the number 122 in the upper left corner the alphanumeric 1E in the upper right corner and part of a graphic design in the lower two corners that blend into the graphic on the main square. The square has an image of the earth and one of a figure of a sailing ship 'morphing' into the space shuttle One the four sides are the crew names of Eyharts o Frick o Poindexter o Walheim o Melvin o Schelgel o Love. On the reverse there is text which reads STS-122 Patch Description The primary objective of the STS-122 mission is to install and outfit the European Space Agency's Columbus laboratory module. Atlantis will rendezvous and dock with the International Space Station ISS on flight day three and Leopold Eyharts will official become a member of the ISS crew replacing Dan Tani who will return to Earth as part of the STS-122 crew. The crew will conduct three spacewalks to prepare the Columbus module and replace a nitrogen tank on the station. The STS-122 patch depicts the continuation of the voyages of early explorers to today's frontier: space. The ship denotes the travels of the early expeditions from the East to the West. The shuttle shows the continuation of that journey along the orbital patch from west to east. A little more than 500 years after Columbus sailed to the new world the STS-122 crew will bring the European laboratory module ":Columbus" to the ISS to usher in a new ear of scientific discovery. NASA and Space Flight Awareness logos. STS-122 was a NASA Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station ISS flown by the Space Shuttle Atlantis. STS-122 marked the 24th shuttle mission to the ISS and the 121st Space Shuttle flight overall. The mission was also referred to as ISS-1E by the ISS program. The primary objective of STS-122 was to deliver the European Columbus science laboratory built by the European Space Agency ESA to the station. It also returned Expedition 16 Flight Engineer Daniel M. Tani to Earth. Tani was replaced on Expedition 16 by Léopold Eyharts a French Flight Engineer representing ESA. After Atlantis landing the orbiter was prepared for STS-125 the final servicing mission for the Hubble Space Telescope. The original target launch date for STS-122 was December 6 2007 but due to engine cutoff sensor ECO reading errors the launch was postponed to December 9 2007. During the second launch attempt the sensors failed again and the launch was halted. A tanking test on December 18 2007 revealed the probable cause to lie with a connector between the external tank and the shuttle. The connector was replaced and the shuttle launched during the third attempt on February 7 2008. Columbus is a science laboratory that is part of the International Space Station ISS and is the largest single contribution to the ISS made by the European Space Agency ESA. Like the Harmony and Tranquility modules the Columbus laboratory was constructed in Turin Italy by Thales Alenia Space. The functional equipment and software of the lab was designed by EADS in Bremen Germany. It was also integrated in Bremen before being flown to the Kennedy Space Center KSC in Florida in an Airbus Beluga. It was launched aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis on 7 February 2008 on flight STS-122. It is designed for ten years of operation. The module is controlled by the Columbus Control Centre located at the German Space Operations Center part of the German Aerospace Center in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich Germany. The European Space Agency has spent €1.4 billion about US$2 billion on building Columbus including the experiments it carries and the ground control infrastructure necessary to operate them.
