NASA’s StarBurst mission, a satellite about the size of a washing machine, is set to launch in 2027 to detect the initial blasts of these cosmic fireworks. By studying gamma-ray bursts in unprecedented detail, StarBurst will help scientists probe the extreme physics of neutron star collisions and shed light on one of the most powerful events in astrophysics. We’re talking about it today with Dr. Dan Kocevski, principal investigator for StarBurst, out of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Desde su órbita alrededor de nuestro planeta, el telescopio espacial Hubble de la NASA ha sido un ojo incansable que mira hacia lo más profundo de nuestro universo desde hace más de tres décadas. Sus hallazgos no solo han revolucionado nuestra comprensión del cosmos; también nos han acercado a él de manera íntima. La astrofísica Rosa Díaz nos acompaña en un recorrido de esta misión emblemática desde el Centro de Control de Operaciones de Hubble.

Fighting wildland fires by air at night is especially hazardous. NASA’s ACERO Project aims to make firefighting safer – day or night – with drones and smarter airspace management. As wildland fires grow more intense and unpredictable, NASA is helping first responders gain the upper hand. In this episode, we explore the ACERO Project, the team developing an airspace management system to enable drones and other aircraft to safely monitor and suppress wildland fires 24 hours a day. The system will increase aerial response capabilities for responders during low-visibility conditions in a way that is not currently possible. Firefighters in California are already using this technology. We speak with Patrick Hill, chief of uncrewed aircraft systems training at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia.

La Luna no solo conserva secretos del pasado de la Tierra, sino que representa el próximo capítulo en nuestra aventura espacial.
