  41. <p>NASA, alongside industry, will soon begin designing a new jet engine concept for the next generation of <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/aeronautics/green-aero-tech/">ultra-efficient airliners</a> &#8212; officially graduating to the project’s next phase.</p>
  42.  
  43.  
  44.  
  45. <p>As part of NASA’s goal to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-innovations-will-help-us-meet-sustainable-aviation-goals">make the aviation industry more sustainable</a>, the agency is developing a small core for a hybrid-electric turbofan jet engine that could reduce fuel burn by 10% compared to today’s engines.</p>
  46.  
  47.  
  48.  
  49. <p>A jet engine’s core is where compressed air is combined with fuel and ignited to generate power. By making this core smaller, fuel efficiency can be improved and carbon emissions reduced.</p>
  50.  
  51.  
  52.  
  53. <p>The goal of the project, named <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/armd/aavp/hytec/">Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC)</a>, is to demonstrate this compact core and have the technology ready for adoption in engines powering next-generation aircraft in the 2030s. HyTEC is a key component of NASA’s <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/armd/sfnp/">Sustainable Flight National Partnership</a>.</p>
  54.  
  55.  
  56.  
  57. <p>To achieve its ambitious goal, HyTEC is structured in two phases:</p>
  58.  
  59.  
  60.  
  61. <ul>
  62. <li>Phase 1, which is wrapping up, focused on selecting the component technologies to use in the core demonstrator.</li>
  63.  
  64.  
  65.  
  66. <li>Phase 2, starting now, will see researchers design, build, and test a compact core in collaboration with GE Aerospace.</li>
  67. </ul>
  68.  
  69.  
  70.  
  71. <p>“Phase 1 of HyTEC is winding down and we are ramping up Phase 2,” said Anthony Nerone, who leads HyTEC at <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/glenn/">NASA’s Glenn Research Center</a> in Cleveland. “This phase will culminate in a core demonstration test that proves the technology so it can transition to industry.”</p>
  72.  
  73.  
  74.  
  75. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The End of the Beginning</strong></h2>
  76.  
  77.  
  78.  
  79. <p>Before researchers could start the design and build process for the core, they had to explore innovative new materials to use in the engine. After three years of notably fast progress, HyTEC researchers came up with solutions.</p>
  80.  
  81.  
  82.  
  83. <p>“We’ve been laser-focused since day one. We began the project with certain technical goals and metrics for success and, so far, we haven’t had to change course from any of them,” Nerone said.</p>
  84.  
  85.  
  86.  
  87. <p>To shrink the size of a core while maintaining the same level of thrust, heat and pressure must increase compared to standard jet engines used today. This means the engine core must be made of more durable materials that can withstand higher temperatures.</p>
  88.  
  89.  
  90.  
  91. <p>In addition to conducting materials research, the project also explored advanced aerodynamics and other key technical elements.</p>

  96.  
  97. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What Comes Next</strong></h2>
  98.  
  99.  
  100.  
  101. <p>Phase 2 builds on Phase 1 to create a compact core for ground testing that proves HyTEC’s capabilities.</p>
  102.  
  103.  
  104.  
  105. <p>“Phase 2 is very complex. It&#8217;s not just a core demonstration,” Nerone said. “What we’re creating has never been done before, and it involves many different technologies coming together to form a new type of engine.”</p>
  106.  
  107.  
  108.  
  109. <p>Technologies tested in the HyTEC program will help enable a much higher bypass ratio, hybridization, and compatibility with sustainable aviation fuels.</p>
  110.  
  111.  
  112.  
  113. <p>The bypass ratio describes the relationship between the amount of air flowing through the engine core compared to the amount of air bypassing the core to flow around it.</p>
  114.  
  115.  
  116.  
  117. <p>By decreasing the core size while increasing the size of the turbofan it powers – while maintaining the same thrust output &#8212; the HyTEC concept would use less fuel and reduce carbon emissions.</p>
  118.  
  119.  
  120.  
  121. <p>“HyTEC is an integral part of our RISE program,” said Kathleen Mondino, who helps lead RISE program technologies at GE Aerospace. “GE Aerospace and NASA have a long history of collaboration to advance the latest aviation technologies. The HyTEC program builds on this relationship to help chart the future of more sustainable flight.”</p>
  122.  
  123.  
  124.  
  125. <p>Another piece of the puzzle is hybridization. HyTEC’s hybrid-electric capability means the core will also be augmented by electrical power to further reduce fuel use and carbon emissions.</p>
  126.  
  127.  
  128.  
  129. <p>“This engine will be the first mild hybrid-electric engine, and hopefully, the first production engine for airliners that is hybrid-electric,” Nerone said.</p>

  358. <p>Looking like a glittering cosmic geode, a trio of dazzling stars blaze from the hollowed-out cavity of a reflection nebula in this new image from NASA’s <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/mission/hubble/" rel="noopener">Hubble Space Telescope</a>. The triple-star system is made up of the variable star HP Tau, HP Tau G2, and HP Tau G3. HP Tau is known as a T Tauri star, a type of young variable star that hasn’t begun nuclear fusion yet but is beginning to evolve into a hydrogen-fueled star similar to our Sun. T Tauri stars tend to be younger than 10 million years old ― in comparison, our Sun is around 4.6 billion years old ― and are often found still swaddled in the clouds of dust and gas from which they formed.</p>

  384. <p>NASA has selected four companies to provide spacecraft and related services, including acquiring spacecraft components and equipment, in support of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.</p>
  385.  
  386.  
  387.  
  388. <p>The multiple awards, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity base contracts, are firm-fixed-price with a total combined value of $6 billion. These multi-agency contracts may support other NASA centers and federal agencies. The performance period is through Aug. 31, 2025, with the potential to extend the effective ordering period until Aug. 31, 2030. The spacecraft designs, related items, and services may be tailored, as needed, to meet the unique needs of each mission.</p>
  389.  
  390.  
  391.  
  392. <p>The following companies have been awarded the Rapid Spacecraft Acquisition IV (Rapid IV) On-Ramp III contract:</p>
  393.  
  394.  
  395.  
  396. <ul>
  397. <li>ARGOTEC Inc., of Largo, Maryland</li>
  398.  
  399.  
  400.  
  401. <li>Blue Canyon Technologies LLC, of Lafayette, Colorado</li>
  402.  
  403.  
  404.  
  405. <li>General Atomics, of San Diego, California</li>
  406.  
  407.  
  408.  
  409. <li>Kongsberg NanoAvionics US LLC, of Riverdale, Maryland</li>
  410. </ul>
  411.  
  412.  
  413.  
  414. <p>The Rapid IV contract includes an “on ramp” feature, which allows for the original solicitation to be periodically re-opened to give new vendors the opportunity to propose flight proven spacecraft designs. On ramps also give vendors already awarded a Rapid IV contract the opportunity to propose additional flight-proven spacecraft designs and/or update their existing catalog designs.</p>
  415.  
  416.  
  417.  
  418. <p>Primarily, the work will be performed at the contractor’s facilities. Additional work will be required at the government launch site.</p>

  458. <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-may-17-2024">May 17, 2024</h4>
  459. <p>I am pleased to share some exciting news regarding senior executive detail backfills to provide broadening opportunities for some of our leadership team.</p>
  460. <p>Agency leadership has chosen Dr. Lori Glaze to begin a six-month detail as the Acting Deputy AA for the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate (ESDMD) due to the transition of Kelvin Manning back to KSC at the end of May 2024. It is expected that this detail will begin imminently, to allow for some transition time before the end of May. Lori’s detail will be for a 6-month period, while ESDMD broadly advertises the Deputy AA position.</p>
  461. <p>This is an incredible opportunity to have an exceptional leader and advocate for planetary science, and all science, within ESDMD. Lori’s outstanding leadership of the Planetary Science Division make her uniquely qualified and the ideal candidate to help continue to strengthen the ties between science and exploration. As we know, exploration enables science, and science enables exploration.  </p>
  462. <p>Lori has done an incredible job of leading the NASA Planetary Science community for the past six years. To name only a selection of highlights, Lori has overseen: Insight landing on Mars and completion of its mission, Perseverance beginning the task of Mars Sample Return, Ingenuity’s paradigm-changing 72 flights, DART’s successful impact, the launch of Lucy and Psyche, OSIRIS-REx’s incredible return of 121 g of material from Bennu, the start of a real renaissance in Venus exploration, and Europa Clipper preparing for its launch this fall.</p>
  463. <p>To temporarily backfill Lori’s position, I have asked Dr. Gina DiBraccio to join the SMD leadership team on a short-term detail beginning May 27. Gina currently serves as the Deputy Director of the Heliophysics Science Division at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Gina also serves as the Deputy Principal Investigator and Project Scientist of NASA’s MAVEN mission. Gina has also been involved in research at Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus by utilizing data from the MESSENGER, MAVEN, Juno, Cassini, and Voyager 2 missions.</p>
  464. <p>We are very excited about these temporary changes in ESDMD, SMD and GSFC leadership, and the broadening opportunities it provides for our Agency leaders. These changes strengthen all three organizations by taking advantage of the great leaders we have in place to ensure all our organizations have strong management. We look forward to continued success in leading the entire Agency team in achieving our mission and science objectives.</p>
  465. <p>While it is hard to let Lori go from SMD, I am so pleased and excited that we will have an incredible leader in science help steward the Artemis campaign. Please join me in wishing Lori great success in her temporary new role and welcoming Gina into SMD and her new role!</p>

  609. <p>Using a beginner-level coding application, the interns showed Cheboi’s students how to design and animate a rocket that would launch into space. After several virtual lessons, Cheboi, CNN’s 2022 Hero of the Year, and her partner, Tyler Cinnamon, visited Glenn to learn more about NASA and meet Schilling in person.</p>

  613. <p>“I think it has really helped shape our curriculum, Cheboi said. “For these kids to look at this experience as something normal to them really speaks volumes of the impact. It matters what environment you grow up into, and you really can only be it if you see it.” &nbsp;</p>

  727. <p>Earth planning day: Wednesday, May 15, 2024</p>
  728. <p>The rover planning engineers yet again did a great job navigating through the large bedrock blocks that litter the terrain in front of us. We are getting ever closer to being able to cross the Gediz Vallis channel and associated deposits, a feature we identified long before landing and of high scientific interest. As a member of the group responsible for planning the observations we hope to get on the Gediz Vallis deposits and associated landforms (called the Channel Surfers), I am very excited to finally be at this point in the mission. To help decide where to drive onto the deposit, we are driving a little closer to the edge and taking extra post-drive imaging to aid in that decision. We are also acquiring a large Mastcam mosaic of an area of the deposit we hope to study in more detail, “Arc Pass.”</p>
  729. <p>Before we drive, we will of course acquire lots of science observations from our current location. The workspace in front of the rover contained an <a href="https://urldefense.us/v3/__https:/mars.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/proj/msl/redops/ods/surface/sol/04185/opgs/edr/ncam/NLB_769015698EDR_F1071320NCAM00353M_.JPG__;!!PvBDto6Hs4WbVuu7!M69xnJZ1ZSQITquHvpHFofFpNstF5tfG0-pcMBk56qjHrZT28-nKmjrS0cr9UlSrqYJaJcBy_QfvLV7KcxIM6rhtGA$" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">interesting textured block</a> that immediately drew all our attention – a polygonally patterned erosional feature (“Tuolumne Meadows”) that we were able to place the rover’s arm on for contact science. We will also be able to brush it and clear the dust before analyzing with APXS for chemistry and MAHLI for the fine-scale texture. ChemCam will also analyze the same spot, as well as the front face of the same block (“Wapama Falls”), which will also be documented by Mastcam. To compare with this block, we are also planning APXS and MAHLI on a separate, more typical looking bedrock block, “Parker Lakes.”</p>
  730. <p>Looking a little further afield, the views continue to be stunning as we climb Mount Sharp, and so of course we wanted to document features of interest. The Yardang unit, high above us on Mount Sharp, is about to disappear from view, so we planned a ChemCam RMI mosaic to capture structures and textures. A little closer to the rover, we will also image another area of the “Pinnacle Ridge” section of the Gediz Vallis deposit to continue documenting the textures and structures associated with this relatively young feature in Gale crater. </p>
  731. <p>The team also planned a series of observations to monitor environmental and atmospheric conditions. These included Navcam dust devil and suprahorizon movies, a line of sight scan and deck monitoring. Standard DAN and RAD round out this jam-packed plan.</p>
  732. <p>As the APXS strategic planner this week, and as a Channel Surfer, I am excited for the downlink from this plan, and for the upcoming investigations of the Gediz Vallis deposit. To whet our appetite, we got down the results of APXS and MAHLI observations from the previous plan on an interesting textured, included block from the deposit. <a href="https://urldefense.us/v3/__https:/mars.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/msss/04184/mhli/4184MH0003060011501225C00_DXXX.jpg__;!!PvBDto6Hs4WbVuu7!M69xnJZ1ZSQITquHvpHFofFpNstF5tfG0-pcMBk56qjHrZT28-nKmjrS0cr9UlSrqYJaJcBy_QfvLV7KcxJVyXcb2Q$" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">See the image</a> associated with this post to marvel at the “Tenaya Lake” rock.</p>

  972. <p>Featured in this new image from the NASA/ESA <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/mission/hubble/" rel="noopener">Hubble Space Telescope</a> is a nearly edge-on view of the lenticular galaxy NGC 4753. Lenticular galaxies have an elliptical shape and ill-defined spiral arms.</p>
  973. <p>This image is the object’s sharpest view to date, showcasing Hubble’s incredible resolving power and ability to reveal complex dust structures. NGC 4753 resides around 60 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo and was first discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1784. It is a member of the NGC 4753 Group of galaxies within the Virgo II Cloud, which comprises roughly 100 galaxies and galaxy clusters.</p>
  974. <p>This galaxy is likely the result of a galactic merger with a nearby dwarf galaxy roughly 1.3 billion years ago. NGC 4753’s distinct dust lanes around its nucleus probably accreted from this merger event.</p>
  975. <p>Astronomers think that most of the mass in the galaxy lies in a slightly flattened, spherical halo of dark matter. Dark matter is called ‘dark’ because we cannot directly observe it, but astronomers think it comprises about 85% of all matter in the universe. Dark matter doesn’t appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, and therefore does not seem to emit, reflect, or refract light. We can only detect it by its gravitational influence on the matter we can see, called normal matter.</p>
  976. <p>NGC 4753’s low-density environment and complex structure make it scientifically interesting to astronomers who can use the galaxy in models that test different theories of formation of lenticular galaxies. The galaxy has also hosted two known Type Ia supernovae. These types of supernovae are extremely important in the study of the expansion rate of the universe. Because they are the result of exploding white dwarfs which have companion stars, they always peak at the same brightness — 5 billion times brighter than the Sun. Knowing the intrinsic brightness of these events and comparing that with their apparent brightness allows astronomers to use them to measure cosmic distances, which in turn help us determine how the universe has expanded over time.</p>

  1188.  
  1189. <p>NASA has created a new digital modelling tool for aeronautical engineers to innovate new aircraft designs, building on decades of experience using highly advanced computer code for aviation.</p>
  1190.  
  1191.  
  1192.  
  1193. <p>Using this tool, researchers can create simulations of conceptual aircraft featuring never-flown technology and receive detailed data about how it would work.</p>
  1194.  
  1195.  
  1196.  
  1197. <p>Named “Aviary” for enclosures where birds are kept and studied, the tool creates virtual models of airplanes based on information provided by the user. In this analogy, Aviary is the enclosure, and the birds are the virtual airplane models.</p>
  1198.  
  1199.  
  1200.  
  1201. <p>Researchers can input information about an aircraft’s shape, range, and other characteristics. Then, Aviary creates a corresponding digital model of that airplane.</p>

  1225. <p>Aviary is a significant leap in progress. Unlike past aviation modelling tools, Aviary can link with other codes and programs to expand and customize its capabilities.</p>
  1226.  
  1227.  
  1228.  
  1229. <p>“We wanted to make it easy to extend the code and tie it in with other tools,” said Jennifer Gratz, who leads Aviary’s integration and development. “Aviary is intentionally designed to be able to integrate disciplines together more tightly.”</p>
  1230.

  1239. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Building Aviary from a Legacy</strong></h3>
  1240.  
  1241.  
  1242.  
  1243. <p>Aviary is a descendant of two prior modelling tools created by NASA decades ago: the Flight Optimization System, and the General Aviation Synthesis Program.</p>
  1244.  
  1245.  
  1246.  
  1247. <p>These older legacy codes, however, were comparatively limited in terms of flexibility and detail.</p>
  1248.  
  1249.  
  1250.  
  1251. <p>“The older legacy codes were not designed to handle these more modern-day concepts such as hybrid-electric aircraft,” Gratz said. “They viewed certain systems as more separated than they really are in the vehicles we envision now.”</p>
  1252.  
  1253.  
  1254.  
  1255. <p>Aviary bridges that gap, enabling researchers to seamlessly incorporate detailed information reflecting the more integrated, enmeshed systems needed to model newer aircraft.</p>
  1256.  
  1257.  
  1258.  
  1259. <p>The team began creating Aviary by taking the best parts of the legacy codes and merging them, then adding in new code to make Aviary extendable and compatible with other tools.</p>
  1260.  
  1261.  
  1262.  
  1263. <p>“That’s one of its most important characteristics,” Gratz said. “Aviary is flexible enough that you can decide what you want to learn more about, then configure it to teach you.”</p>
  1264.

  1267.  
  1268.  
  1269. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Expanded Capabilities</strong></h3>
  1270.  
  1271.  
  1272.  
  1273. <p>Learning specific, tailored information ahead of time can inform researchers what direction the aircraft design should take before doing costly flight tests.</p>
  1274.  
  1275.  
  1276.  
  1277. <p>Instead of having to use built-in estimates for certain parameters such as a battery’s power level, as would be done with past tools, Aviary users can easily use information generated by other tools with specific information catered to batteries.</p>
  1278.  
  1279.  
  1280.  
  1281. <p>Another capability Aviary touts is gradients. A gradient, essentially, is how much a certain value affects another value when changed.</p>
  1282.  
  1283.  
  1284.  
  1285. <p>Say a researcher is considering how powerful a battery should be to successfully power an aircraft. Using older systems, the researcher would have to run a separate simulation for each battery power level.</p>
  1286.  
  1287.  
  1288.  
  1289. <p>But Aviary can accomplish this task in one simulation by considering gradients.</p>
  1290.  
  1291.  
  1292.  
  1293. <p>“You could tell Aviary to figure out how powerful a battery should be to make using it worthwhile. It will run a simulated flight mission and come back with the result,” Gratz said. “Older tools can’t do that without modification.”</p>
  1294.  
  1295.  
  1296.  
  1297. <p>Aviary can simulate all these concepts simultaneously – no other modelling tool can easily consider prior legacy tools, separate tools introduced by users, and gradients.</p>
  1298.  
  1299.  
  1300.  
  1301. <p>“Other tools have some of these things, but none of them have all of these things,” Gratz said.</p>
  1302.  
  1303.  
  1304.  
  1305. <p>What’s more, Aviary comes with <a href="https://openmdao.github.io/Aviary/intro.html" rel="noopener">extensive documentation</a>.</p>
  1306.  
  1307.  
  1308.  
  1309. <p>“Documentation is another important part of Aviary,” Gratz said. “If nobody can understand the tool, nobody can use it. By having a good record of Aviary’s development and changes, more people can benefit. You don’t have to be an expert to use it.”</p>
  1310.  
  1311.

  1543.  
  1544. <p>NASA was named Thursday as the 2023 Best Place to Work in the Federal Government – large agency – for the 12th year in a row by the Partnership for Public Service. The title serves as a reflection of employee satisfaction with the workplace and functioning of the overall agency as NASA explores the unknown and discovers new knowledge for the benefit of humanity.</p>
  1545.  
  1546.  
  1547.  
  1548. <p>“Once again, NASA has shown that with the world’s finest workforce, we can reach the stars,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “Through space exploration, advances in aviation, groundbreaking science, new technologies, and more, the team of wizards at NASA do what is hard to achieve what is great. That’s the pioneer spirit that makes NASA the best place to work in the federal government. With this ingenuity and passion, we will continue to innovate for the benefit of all and inspire the world.”</p>
  1549.  
  1550.  
  1551.  
  1552. <p>The agency’s workforce explored <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/breaking-records-returning-asteroid-samples-among-nasas-big-2023/">new frontiers in 2023</a>, including shattering an American record for longest astronaut spaceflight, announcing the <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-names-astronauts-to-next-moon-mission-first-crew-under-artemis/">Artemis II</a> crew, launching the <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/missions/psyche-mission/nasas-deep-space-optical-comm-demo-sends-receives-first-data/">Deep Space Optical Communications</a> experiment, partnering on a <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-issues-award-for-greener-more-fuel-efficient-airliner-of-future/">sustainable flight demonstration</a> later designated as X-66, and celebrating a year of science gathered from the agency’s James Webb Space Telescope. Feats beyond our atmosphere persisted with NASA’s <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/mission/osiris-rex/" rel="noopener">OSIRIS-Rex</a> (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security – Regolith Explorer) mission &#8211; the first U.S. mission to collect an asteroid sample. Insights from the asteroid data will further NASA’s studies on celestial objects, while the agency also continues its pursuit to return astronauts to the Moon as part of the <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/artemis/">Artemis campaign</a>.</p>
  1553.  
  1554.  
  1555.  
  1556. <p>Along with being the 65th anniversary of the agency, 2023 brought new climate data with the launching of the U.S. <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-partners-launch-us-greenhouse-gas-center-to-share-climate-data/">Greenhouse Gas Center</a> and <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-holds-ribbon-cutting-for-new-earth-information-center/">Earth Information Center</a>, new perspectives on Earth’s surface water through <a href="https://swot.jpl.nasa.gov/" rel="noopener">NASA’s SWOT</a> (Surface Water and Ocean Topography) mission, and accrued air quality data from <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/mission/tempo/" rel="noopener">NASA’s TEMPO</a> (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution) mission.</p>
  1557.  
  1558.  
  1559.  
  1560. <p>The Partnership for Public Service began to compile the Best Places to Work rankings in 2003 to analyze federal employee’s viewpoints of leadership, work-life balance, and other factors of their job. A formula is used to evaluate employee responses to a federal survey, dividing submissions into four groups: large, midsize, and small agencies, in addition to their subcomponents.</p>

  1654. <p>NASA and ESA (European Space Agency) announced Thursday they signed an agreement to expand NASA’s work on the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover, an ESA-led mission launching in 2028 that will search for signs of ancient life on the Red Planet.</p>
  1655.  
  1656.  
  1657.  
  1658. <p>With this memorandum of understanding, the NASA Launch Services Program will procure a U.S. commercial launch provider for the Rosalind Franklin rover. The agency will also provide heater units and elements of the propulsion system needed to land on Mars. A new instrument on the rover will be the first drill to a depth of up to 6.5 feet (2 meters) deep below the surface to collect ice samples that have been protected from surface radiation and extreme temperatures.</p>
  1659.  
  1660.  
  1661.  
  1662. <p>“The Rosalind Franklin rover’s unique drilling capabilities and onboard samples laboratory have outstanding scientific value for humanity’s search for evidence of past life on Mars,” said Nicola Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “NASA supports the Rosalind Franklin mission to continue the strong partnership between the United States and Europe to explore the unknown in our solar system and beyond.”</p>
  1663.  
  1664.  
  1665.  
  1666. <p>Through an existing, separate partnership with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the French space agency CNES (Centre National d&#8217;Etudes Spatiales), NASA is contributing key components to the Rosalind Franklin rover’s primary science instrument, the Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer, that will search for the building blocks of life in the soil samples.</p>
  1667.  
  1668.  
  1669.  
  1670. <p>NASA has a longstanding partnership with the Department of Energy to use radioisotope power sources on the agency’s space missions and will be partnering again with the Energy Department for the use of lightweight radioisotope heater units for the rover. &nbsp;</p>
  1671.  
  1672.  
  1673.  
  1674. <p>The Rosalind Franklin rover mission complements the <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/mission/mars-sample-return/" rel="noopener">Mars Sample Return</a> multi-mission campaign led by both agencies.</p>
