But as the long-time program scientist of the Hubble Space Telescope effort, whose faulty mirror had to be corrected in space, Weiler knew that haste might have even more serious consequences. His instincts told him to wait. “I overruled three independe...
متن کاملUnderstanding of bat wing evolution takes flight.
It has long been debated whether the processes and mechanisms responsible for phenotypic variation within a population or between closely related populations can be extrapolated to explain evolutionary trends over longer phylogenetic distances and especially the generation of novel structures. Although there has been great progress in recent years in addressing the genetic basis for microevolut...
متن کاملOverview of NASA's space radiation research program.
NASA is developing the knowledge required to accurately predict and to efficiently manage radiation risk in space. The strategy employed has three research components: (1) ground-based simulation of space radiation components to develop a science-based understanding of radiation risk; (2) space-based measurements of the radiation environment on planetary surfaces and interplanetary space, as we...
