Space Weather Forecasts in STEREO on This Week @NASA
New processing techniques used on data gathered by NASA's STEREO spacecraft will allow scientists to better track solar storms before they impact Earth. The storms called Coronal Mass Ejections, or CMEs are observed from NASA's twin Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, spacecraft launched in 2006.Collected in flyCRUFC's videos Aug 23, 2011 -
Reflecting on Webb's Mirrors
The James Webb Space Telescope is a reflecting telescope, which means it relies on mirrors to capture the light it uses to make images. At Tinsley Laboratories in California, "Behind the Webb" examines how the JWST's multiple mirrors are taking shape and being tested.Collected in flyCRUFC's videos Aug 20, 2011 -
Troubleshooting Webb
At Northrop Grumman, engineers are testing the systems that will control the James Webb Space Telescope from the ground. "Behind the Webb" explores the hows and whys of ensuring perfect long-distance control from 940,000 miles away.Collected in flyCRUFC's videos Aug 20, 2011 -
Stretching Webb's Wings
"Behind the Webb" shows how the James Webb Space Telescope's protective sunshield will be folded up inside the rocket that carries it into orbit. Engineers explain to "Behind the Webb" how the sunshield will be unfurled from a million miles awayCollected in flyCRUFC's videos Aug 20, 2011 -
The Big Chill
The James Webb Space Telescope's huge primary mirror is made up of 18 smaller mirrors. At NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., "Behind the Webb" looks at their environmental and thermal testing is preparing them the mirrors for the hazards of space.Collected in flyCRUFC's videos Aug 20, 2011 -
