SUMMARY:2026 NASA Exploration Science Forum (NESF2026)
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by SSERVI Central Team at NASA Ames Research Center\, Moffett Field CA\, USA; online option available. The Forum will feature in-depth analyses of research targeting human and robotic exploration of the Moon and other planetary bodies. Attendees will hear updates and results from leading mission scientists and engineers\, and join public discussions with NASA leadership to learn more about the direction of the Agency and community. Mentoring and networking opportunities for students and young professionals will include LunGradCon (Lunar and Small Bodies Graduate Forum) and student competitions for best presentation and poster. Interwoven among the science sessions are ways for all of us to get involved. \nStudent Poster and Oral Presentation Competitions: Winner of the oral and poster competitions will each receive a $1\,500 travel award. Those in 2nd and 3rd place will each receive $1\,000 travel awards. Interested students must indicate that they want to participate in either competition when submitting an abstracts. Please note: if a student presents in both poster and oral\, only one prize will be awarded. For more information: sservi.nasa.gov/awards/student-posters \nRegistration and Student Travel Support: SSERVI will make available some funds for registration and student travel support. When the NESF2026 registration system opens\, there will be an opportunity to apply for this support. So please watch for this opportunity and apply!

SUMMARY:Psyche Spacecraft Uses Mars for Gravity Assist
DESCRIPTION:On its way to the asteroid Psyche\, the Psyche spacecraft will pass within 4\,500 km of Mars and will harness the planet’s gravitational pull to speed up and adjust its trajectory toward the metal-rich asteroid. The spacecraft was launched October 13\, 2023\, and by August 2029\, the spacecraft will begin to orbit the 173-mile-wide (279-kilometer-wide) asteroid – the only metal-class asteroid ever to be explored. Because of Psyche’s high iron-nickel metal content\, scientists think it may be the partial core of a planetesimal\, a building block of an early planet. The goal is a 26-month science investigation. https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasas-psyche-spacecraft-optical-comms-demo-en-route-to-asteroid/

SUMMARY:Observation of First American in Space: Alan Shepard
DESCRIPTION:May 5\, 1961\, Alan Shepard reached the air / space dividing line acknowledged by U.S. government\, 50 miles / 80 km. The mission\, known as Mercury-Redstone 3 (MR-3) or Freedom 7\, was part of Project Mercury\, the United States’ first human spaceflight program. \nThe internationally accepted altitude of 62 miles / 100 km is called the Kármán Line. Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space 3 weeks previously\, making one orbit of Earth.

SUMMARY:2026 NASA Human Research Program Investigators' Workshop (HRP IWS)
DESCRIPTION:HRP IWS is the primary venue for reporting progress and results from HRP-funded research and technology tasks to Program Management\, with the additional benefit of permitting cross-discipline interaction among the full spectrum of investigators. It also provides NASA with an outreach opportunity to include abstract submissions from other external researchers who would like to become involved. \nThe workshop’s goal is to provide an informal\, collegial atmosphere for cross-disciplinary interaction. You must be registered to attend this event online and to view the IWS website (livestreaming\, detailed program\, on-demand content\, etc.). There is no registration fee for the workshop\, which runs approximately 08:00-16:00 CDT each day (13:00-21:00 UTC). \nScientific sessions featuring presentations by principal investigators will be organized and scheduled according to Human Research Program and related disciplines: \n\nBiological and Physical Sciences (BPS) (includes Space Biology)\nHuman Factors and Behavioral Performance (HFBP)\nHuman Health Countermeasures (HHC)\nResearch Operations and Integration (ROI)\nScience Integration Office (SIO) [formerly Exploration Medical Capability (ExMC)]\nSpace Radiation (SR)\nTranslational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH)\nOther
