Robot astronaut in space, speaking appearances Kirobo
Robot astronaut Kirobo has become the first robot ever to speak in space. The historic first words in space reflected the importance of Kirobo's 18-month long mission: "On August 21, 2013, a robot took one small step towards a brighter future for all."


Kirobo and his earth-bound mission counterpart, Mirata, are two humanoid communication robots developed under the Kibo Robot Proejct, a joint research project between Dentsu Inc., University of Tokyo's Research Centre for Advanced Science and Technology, Robo Garage Co., and Toyota Motor Corporation. The project is also extensively assisted by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

On February 15 a small asteroid named 2012 DA-14 will whiz by, 17,200 miles from Earth. It doesn't pose any threat to us, but it is sure to create a buzz around the world.

Moonshots live in the gray area between audacious technology and pure science fiction

 



Moonshots live in the gray area between audacious technology and pure science fiction. Instead of a mere 10% gain, a moonshot aims for a 10x improvement over what currently exists. The combination of a huge problem, a radical solution to that problem, and the breakthrough technology that just might make that solution possible, is the essence of a moonshot.

NASA Television ScienceCast: Record-Setting Asteroid Flyby video

 



On Feb. 15th an asteroid about half the size of a football field will fly past Earth closer than many man-made satellites.

Since regular sky surveys began in the 1990s, astronomers have never seen an object so big come so close to our planet.

NASA, ESA Agree on New Orion Service Module video

 



This animation shows NASA's Orion spacecraft as it will appear on its Exploration Mission-1 in 2017, complete with a service module to be provided by the European Space Agency.

After Orion blasts off atop a Space Launch System rocket, the ESA-provided service module will fuel and propel the capsule on its journey through space. Exploration Mission-1 in 2017 will be the first mission to incorporate both the Orion vehicle and NASA's new Space Launch System. It will follow the upcoming Exploration Flight Test-1 in 2014, in which an uncrewed Orion will launch atop a Delta IV Heavy rocket and fly 3,600 miles above Earth's surface, farther than a human spacecraft has gone in 40 years.
