サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Welcome to this week's NASA update. Our top story: NASA's SpaceX Crew-9 mission is preparing for departure from the International Space Station later this month. During a pre-departure news conference on March 4th, astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, and Butch Wilmore shared insights from their mission and reflections on the space station's evolution.
"We've seen it grow from just a couple modules to this amazing laboratory," said Williams. "I would say we're actually in our prime right now."
The crew emphasized the station's critical role in advancing scientific knowledge and demonstrating technologies for future exploration. Their return will pave the way for the upcoming Crew-10 mission, targeted to launch no earlier than March 12th.
In other developments, NASA's fiscal year 2025 budget request of $25.4 billion aims to support U.S. leadership in space and climate science. Key priorities include investing in the Artemis lunar exploration campaign, enhancing climate research, and advancing space industry technology.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson stated, "President Biden's budget will fund our nation's abilities and leadership for the future of space exploration, scientific discovery, cutting-edge technology, climate data, the next generation of aeronautics, and inspiring our future leaders."
The budget allocates $1.2 billion for space technology development and $966 million for aeronautics research, including work on hybrid-electric jet engines and lightweight aircraft structures to enable greener commercial airliners.
Looking ahead, NASA's Kennedy Space Center is gearing up for a busy 2025, with plans for over 90 government, commercial, and private missions launching from Florida's Space Coast. Center Director Janet Petro noted, "The next year promises to be another exciting one at Earth's premier spaceport."
To improve efficiency, Kennedy is updating its "Critical Day" policy to allow more flexibility for construction and maintenance work around launches. This change is expected to free up over 150 days annually for essential spaceport operations.
As we look to the future, NASA continues to push the boundaries of exploration and innovation. From crewed missions to the Moon to cutting-edge climate science, the agency's work touches all our lives in countless ways.
