SRPD Chandra X-Ray Observatory Recovers from Transition to Normal Sun Mode

[ad_1] Chandra autonomously transitioned to Normal Sun Mode (NSM) during an observation late on Saturday, February 2, 2024. The transition was nominal, science instruments were safed properly, and all telemetry was as expected. The immediate cause of the anomaly was a trip of the Bright Star/Commanded Attitude Monitor. The root cause was identified as a […]

SWOT Satellite Helps Gauge the Depth of Death Valley’s Temporary Lake

[ad_1] Data from the international Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission helped researchers to calculate the depth of water in this transient freshwater body. California’s Death Valley, the driest place in North America, has hosted an ephemeral lake since late 2023. A NASA-led analysis recently calculated water depths in the temporary lake over several weeks […]
