Go to this pageAs part of her visit to the United States, President Park Geun-hye of South Korea visited NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. on Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2015. She was welcomed by Goddard Center Director Christopher Scolese and the First Lady of Maryland, Yumi Hogan. She was also greeted by astronauts Scott Altman and Cady Coleman. President Park watched a personalized, pre-recorded message from astronaut Scott Kelly aboard the International Space Station. She also was briefed by Goddard’s Chief Scientist Dr. Jim Garvin about what NASA is learning about Mars and also NASA’s upcoming mission to explore Venus. In addition President Park learned about some of the things NASA is learning about the moon from Dr. Noah Petro, the deputy project scientist for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. President Park listened to several other presentations about NASA projects including: Laser Communication; GLOBE Program and Cosmic Ray Energies and Mass Investigation (CREAM) project. || SoKorean_President_Visit.jpeg (1280x720) [139.5 KB] || SoKorean_President_Visit_print.jpg (1024x576) [133.7 KB] || SoKorean_President_Visit_searchweb.png (180x320) [84.3 KB] || SoKorean_President_Visit_web.png (320x180) [84.3 KB] || SoKorean_President_Visit_thm.png (80x40) [6.7 KB] || APPLE_TV_SoKorean_President_Visit_VX-210366_appletv.m4v (1280x720) [41.4 MB] || YOUTUBE_HQ_SoKorean_President_Visit_VX-210366_youtube_hq.mov (1280x720) [496.6 MB] || WEBM_SoKorean_President_Visit_VX-210366.webm (960x540) [32.8 MB] || SoKorean_President_Visit_prores.mov (1280x720) [1.1 GB] || NASA_PODCAST_SoKorean_President_Visit_VX-210366_ipod_sm.mp4 (320x240) [14.9 MB] ||

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
Go to this pageThe Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, is a multipurpose NASA spacecraft launched in 2009 to make a comprehensive atlas of the Moon’s features and resources. Since launch, LRO has measured the coldest temperatures in the solar system inside the Moon’s permanently shadowed craters, detected evidence of water ice at the Moon’s south pole, seen hints of recent geologic activity on the Moon, found newly-formed craters from present-day meteorite impacts, tested spaceborne laser communication technology, and much more.

MAVEN
Go to this pageNASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) is the first mission devoted to understanding the Martian upper atmosphere. Today Mars is cold and dry, but ancient Mars was warm, wet, and possibly hospitable to life. Scientists think that the loss of Mars' early atmosphere caused the planet to dry up, and MAVEN is testing this hypothesis by observing present-day interactions of the Martian atmosphere with the solar wind.

NASA Downloads the Future
Go to this pageLLCD will be NASA's first-step in creating a high performance space-based laser communications system. The LLCD mission consists of space-based and ground-based components. The Lunar Laser Space Terminal (LLST) is an optical communications test payload to fly aboard the LADEE Spacecraft and it will demonstrate laser communications from lunar orbit.The ground segment consists of three ground terminals that will perform high-rate communication with the LLST aboard LADEE. The primary ground terminal, the Lunar Laser Ground Terminal (LLGT) is located in White Sands, NM and was developed by MIT/Lincoln Laboratory and NASA. The ground segment also includes two secondary terminals located at NASA/JPL's Table Mountain Facility in California and the European Space Agency's El Teide Observatory in Tenerife, Spain. The main goal of LLCD is proving fundamental concepts of laser communications and transferring data at a rate of 622 megabits per second (Mbps), which is about five times the current state-of-the-art from lunar distances. Engineers expect future space missions to benefit greatly from the use of laser communications technology. To learn more about laser communications and the LLCD mission please click here. ||
