Damage prediction on pears during transportation.
bad and naughty children get put in The Pear Wiggler to atone for their crimes
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s flight harness is transferred from the mock-up structure to the spacecraft flight structure.
Your Body is Wired Like a NASA Space Telescope. Sort Of.
Roman's primary structure hangs from cables as it moves into the big clean room at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
What Makes the Clean Room So Clean?
When you picture NASA’s most important creations, you probably think of a satellite, telescope, or maybe a rover. But what about the room they’re made in? Believe it or not, the room itself where these instruments are put together—a clean room—is pretty special.
Elemental Profile: Niobium
Niobium is the forty first element on the periodic table, giving it forty one protons and electrons. The free element is not found in nature and is often found alongside tantalum, to which it is very similar.
On the periodic table, the element is characterized as a transition metal. Given the sheer number of transition metals it is difficult to define any definite characteristics but, generally, transition metals are paramagnetic with more than one oxidation states. Also, metals typically (though not always) have high electrical conductivity as well as high density and high melting and boiling points.
Niobium is a ductile, gray metal that becomes a superconductor at cryogenic temperatures. It has one naturally occurring isotope.

Elemental Profile: Palladium
Palladium is the forty sixth element on the periodic table, giving it forty six protons and electrons. Palladium can be found as a free metal alloyed with gold and other platinum group metals.
On the periodic table, the element is characterized as a transition metal. Given the sheer number of transition metals it is difficult to define any definite characteristics but, generally, transition metals are paramagnetic with more than one oxidation states. Also, metals typically (though not always) have high electrical conductivity as well as high density and high melting and boiling points.
Along with five other elements, palladium is also a member of the platinum group. These six metals are highly resistant to wear and tarnish as well as chemical attack, have excellent high-temperature characteristics, and stable electrical properties.
A soft silver-white metal, palladium is unique in that it has fewer filled electron shells than the elements directly preceding it. There are seven naturally occurring isotopes, six of which are stable.

Imagine leaving the house to go pick up your meds…then be told you’re faking illness. Damn.
Imagine spending the extra money to grind your existing workforce down even harder instead of just, hiring more people for the job?

The EPA has proposed tougher air pollution rules for chemical plants and other industrial facilities after ProPublica found an estimated 74 million Americans near those sites faced an elevated risk of cancer.

The analysis of more than 30,000 patients in Europe, America and Asia suggests that fine particles cause tumors
“Oncologists have faced a growing phenomenon that they don’t know how to explain: more and more people develop lung cancer without ever smoking. Such patients make up about 15% of all cases. “
