If the two agencies partner on missions, Japan may assist with NASA's missions on the Gateway — a lunar space station — and, perhaps, with astronaut excursions on the surface! NASA, Japan Consider Joint Crewed Moon Missions www.sciencetells.co.uk/ ...-missions NASA, Japan Consider Joint Crewed Moon Missions - Scienceexist Hiroshi Yamakawa , president of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency , and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine signed a statement on lunar exploration on Sept. 24, 2019, in Tokyo.!! President Donald Trump's administration has tasked NASA to land humans on the moon again by 2024
In exchange, NASA may provide a spot for Japanese cubesats on the first NASA Artemis mission. Artemis I will see an uncrewed spacecraft loop around the moon before returning to Earth in a flight scheduled for no earlier than mid-2020. NASA may also collaborate on a future Japanese robotic mission known as Smart Lander for Investigating the Moon (SLIM), which will be trying techniques for pinpoint landings.

"Firing the pyrotechnic devices that held the rover and descent stage together and then doing the post-test inspection of the two vehicles was an all-day affair," said Ryan van Schilifgaarde, a support engineer for Mars 2020 assembly at JPL. "With this test behind us, the rover and descent stage go their separate ways for a while
Both the rover and descent stage will ship to Cape Canaveral, Florida, this winter. Before then there'll be a battery of tests for the Mars 2020 rover, including an evaluation of its computers and mechanical systems in Mars-like conditions!

NASA releases '3D Moon Kit' to help CGI artists to re-create the moon
NASA will use this data to help inform future moon landings and other projects. But that won't be its only use
As spotted by TechCrunch, NASA announced in September that it had created a CGI Moon Kit: data and images rendering an accurate 3D visualization of the surface of the moon. Artists and designers will be able to use this media for, well, whatever they want, whether that's video games or other forms of art.
News | NASA's Push to Save the Mars InSight Lander's Heat Probe

"We're going to try pressing the side of the scoop against the mole, pinning it to the wall of its hole," said InSight Deputy Principal Investigator Sue Smrekar of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "This might increase friction enough to keep it moving forward when mole hammering resumes.
Designed to burrow as much as 16 feet (5 meters) underground to record the amount of heat escaping from the planet's interior, the mole needs friction from surrounding soil in order to dig: Without it, recoil from the self-hammering action causes it to simply bounce in place, which is what the mission team suspects is happening now.
Many things are taking place:
Laser Precision: NASA Flights And Satellites Align Over The Sea - SpaceRef
"If you look at the height profiles from ICESat-2 and IceBridge, you can tell that they're almost the same,
ICESat-2 uses its laser instrument to measure the heights of Earth's surface, focusing on the glaciers, ice sheets and sea ice in the planet's polar regions. When it launched on Sept. 15, 2018, scientists were poised to take measurements from planes and on the ground to check against the satellite's data, helping to and ensure the accuracy of the measurements from orbit.
NASA Expects to Buy More Soyuz Seats for Astronauts in 2020, at $85 Million a Pop: Reports | Space
The three-seat Soyuz has been U.S. astronauts' only way to get to and from the International Space Station (ISS) since 2011, when NASA grounded its space shuttle fleet . NASA is counting on private U.S. craft to pick up the slack and has been encouraging these vehicles' development via the agency's Commercial Crew Program
But this work has taken much longer than originally expected. In September 2014, NASA awarded $2.6 billion to SpaceX and $4.2 billion to Boeing to get their astronaut taxis — capsules known as Crew Dragon and CST-100 Starliner, respectively — up and running. At the time, agency officials said they wanted at least one of the capsules to be operational by the end of 2017.
