SUMMARY:NASA Live Coverage of Solar Eclipse
DESCRIPTION:NASA will stream the eclipse live with views across the path and interviews with subject matter experts through a variety of platforms. \nDuring the eclipse\, NASA will conduct experiments in the path of totality. To investigate the dynamics of the Sun’s corona\, a NASA-funded science team will chase the Moon’s shadow with a WB-57 high-altitude research aircraft. The NASA-supported Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project is sending students from several U.S. universities to Iceland and Spain to launch scientific balloons before\, during\, and after the eclipse to research how the temporary darkening of our skies during the eclipse affects Earth’s atmosphere. \nNASA’s eclipse coverage is as follows (all times Eastern): \nWednesday\, Aug. 12 \n\n1:15 p.m.: Eclipse broadcast begins\n1:45 p.m.: Totality begins in Iceland\n2:28 p.m.: Totality begins in Spain\n\nNASA photography coverage\nPhotos of the eclipse\, dependent on visibility\, will be available shortly after the eclipse. View images on the agency’s Flickr account.

SUMMARY:NASA Astronaut Chris Williams Post-ISS Mission Debrief
DESCRIPTION:2:45 pm EDT from Johnson Space Center\, NASA astronaut Chris Williams will recap his recent eight-month mission aboard the International Space Station. Williams returned to Earth on July 26\, after logging 241 days as an Expedition 73/74 flight engineer during his first spaceflight. He returned along with Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev\, completing 3\,856 orbits of the Earth over the course of their more than 102-million-mile journey. They also saw the arrival of six visiting spacecraft and the departure of eight. \nDuring his mission\, Williams supported a wide range of scientific investigations and technology demonstrations. He helped advance research for new cancer treatments and improved in-space manufacturing of materials used in high-performance computers and electronics. Williams also completed two spacewalks to prep for space station power system upgrades and to replace a faulty joint on the Canadarm2 robotic arm. The crew’s work aboard the space station helps improve life on Earth and prepare for future human missions to the Moon and Mars. \n

DESCRIPTION:Session 9:00 PT (12:00 ET) to overview the Falcon 9 upper stage which is expected to impact the lunar surface on 05 August 2026. The upper stage is from the launch vehicle that launched the Hakuto-R Mission 2 lander and NASA’s CLPS Blue Ghost-1 lander to the Moon. This impact (expected to occur near Einstein/Bell Craters near the lunar limb) may be observable from multiple assets (ground and space-based)\, so to facilitate the coordination and planning of observations\, we will hold an informational session to share relevant information as is known today for anyone interested. \nCONFERENCE IO INFO: \nYour session is live here: https://arc.cnf.io/\, and directly here:  Observing the Falcon 9 upper stage impact into the Moon – Conferences i/o \nTEAMS CONNECTION INFO: \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/27390195364357?p=Y3uLa4QqXfm67qBIOI \nMeeting ID: 273 901 953 643 57 \nPasscode: VV9Ka9pV \nNeed help? | System reference \nDial in by phone \n+1 256-715-9946\,\,102421875# United States\, Huntsville \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 102 421 875# \nJoin on a video conferencing device \nTenant key: teams@meet.nisn.nasa.gov \nVideo ID: 112 143 313 9 \nMore info

SUMMARY:NASA News Conference on Moon Base Plans
DESCRIPTION:At 14:00 EDT | 18:00 UTC | 08:00 HST\, NASA personnel including Administrator Isaacman will discuss plans and progress toward a sustained presence on the lunar surface\, a Moon Base. \nSpeaking at NASA Headquarters\, leadership will discuss program progress\, including new industry partners and mission plans. Subject matter experts will be available for one-on-one interviews after the news conference ends. \nWatch live on NASA+ and the agency’s YouTube channel. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of online platforms\, including social media. \nParticipants include: \n\nNASA Administrator Jared Isaacman\nLori Glaze\, acting associate administrator\, Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate\nCarlos García-Galán\, program executive\, Moon Base\n\nMedia unable to attend in person may ask questions by telephone. To participate in person or by phone\, media must RSVP to the headquarters newsroom no later than 11 a.m. on May 26\, at: hq-media@mail.nasa.gov. NASA’s media accreditation policy is available online. \nNASA is advancing development of Moon Base\, a long-term lunar exploration and infrastructure initiative designed to enable sustained human presence and expanded scientific and commercial activity at the lunar South Pole. \nAs part of the Golden Age of innovation and exploration\, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery\, economic benefits\, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars. \nFor more information about NASA’s missions\, visit: \nhttps://www.nasa.gov

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.
