NASA Seeks Industry Input for Second Phase of Commercial Space Stations
NASA has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry insights for the second phase of developing commercial space stations. This initiative is crucial for ensuring a continuous human presence in low-Earth orbit following the planned retirement of the International Space Station (ISS). The agency aims to foster a robust private sector-led space economy, inviting proposals for innovative and cost-effective orbital platforms.
NASA’s Webb Telescope Illuminates Early Star Formation in Herbig-Haro 211
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured unprecedented details of Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), a young protostellar system in the constellation Perseus. The observations, using Webb's advanced infrared instruments, reveal high-speed jets of gas from newly forming stars, providing critical insights into the initial stages of stellar evolution, particularly for low-mass stars.
