On February 28, 2022, NASA EDGE provided live coverage of the rollout of NOAA's GOES-T satellite from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. GOES-T is the third in a series of four satellites specifically flown to provide a continuous record of high-quality imagery, weather, environmental, and space weather data for the entire Western Hemisphere. Guest on the show include NOAA's GOES-R Program System Program Director Pam Sullivan, NOAA's GOES-R Chief Scientist Dan Lindsay, NASA GOES-R Deputy System Program Director Ed Grigsby, NASA GOES-R Flight Project Manager Candace Carlisle, and our good buddy, Mic Woltman from NASA's Launch Services Program. Today's forecast: 100% visibility with a slight chance of buffering.

It's the season of sequels, reboots, and blockbusters, and Honey, I Shrunk the Payload Challenge may be the hit of the summer. NASA EDGE looks at the three finalists competing to develop incredibly small payloads to potentially fly to the moon with NASA and how they were inspired to scale down their instruments for challenge success. Plus, NASA EDGE explores their own miniaturization techniques. Check it out. NASA's Honey, I Shrunk the Payload Challenge was made possible by the NASA Tournament Lab, which is part of the Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation (CoECI) in NASA's Prizes, Challenges, and Crowdsourcing program. It was funded by the agency's Game Changing Development Program in support of NASA's Lunar Surface Innovation Initiative, which aims to enable human and robotic exploration on the Moon and future operations on Mars.

Artemis I is launching soon, and even NASA has its own front-row seat for the launch with Scientifically Calibrated In-Flight Imagery (SCIFLI). During launch and recovery, the NASA SCIFLI team will capture super high-fidelity imagery of the rocket and parachutes on re-entry across multiple spectrums. Join NASA EDGE as they hear first-hand from the SCIFLI team about how this imagery will help NASA, Artemis, and even future missions operate safely and efficiently. Also, we get the latest on SCIFLI's newest instrument, SCIFLI Airborne Multispectral Imager (SAMI), flying aboard NASA's WB-57.
