3 min read Preparations for Next Moonwalk Simulations Underway (and Underwater) NASA / ATM-X Challenges Current day air traffic management systems are segmented by domain, operator groups, and solution provider groups, which creates a challenge for those seeking a system wide solution. Future airspace operations will be increasingly more complex as new types of aircraft [...]
Photo of the Day What's that unusual spot on the Moon? It's the International Space Station. Using precise timing, the Earth-orbiting space platform was photographed in front of a partially lit gibbous Moon in 2019. The featured image was taken from Palo Alto, California, USA with an exposure time of only 1/667 of a [...]
