Asteroid Day is June 30th!

You've heard of gold mining and coal mining, but think outside the box...or the planet...what about asteroid mining? Scientists, engineers, and business people believe asteroid mining is feasible, and they are in the beginning stages of long-term plans to mine asteroids for valuable resources during space missions.

You don't want to miss out on all the fun; in this science project, you will come up with your own scientific plan for an asteroid mining company. We will help get you started by introducing you to a huge database that NASA uses to keep track of asteroids. This database will help you identify potential target asteroids for your mining company so your company can strike it rich.

Swift Gets a Boost

After more than two decades, the orbit of NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has entered a phase of rapid decay. Although NASA could simply allow the observatory to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere, as many missions do at the end of their lifetimes, this situation offers a chance to advance American spacecraft servicing technology while also extending the life of a productive science mission.
