NASA made UFOs

Recently there has been a flurry of UFO - NASA videos on youtube...

Well expect MORE... :D

IF there really were orbs 'out there' in space, whether alien spacecraft or plasma critters, and you wanted to hide them from the prying eyes of the ever present UFO seekers, what would you do?

How about make free floating orbs :D

Hmmm well then, in that case...

IF as many believe... IF there are orbs out there buzzing around our spacecraft whether they be alien probes or plasma critters... then NASA making free flying orb satellites like the AERcam or the SHEREs and the more recent STARSHINE...

...would certainly be a way to cover up the other ones :P

At the very least we can expect a LOT more NASA UFO videos. And that will give the uber skeptics a whole new set of Bokehs to tell us about  ;D

Like this one... brought to my attention by Exuberant1 from the Pegasus team

Now before the skeptic hoard descends on me, that orb is the new STARSHINE from NASA

STARSHINE







Quote
Three small, optically reflective spherical "STARSHINE" student satellites have been designed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and built by an informal, volunteer coalition of organizations and individuals in the USA and Canada. This coalition is called "Project Starshine" and is headquartered in Monument, Colorado. It receives no formal funding and operates by means of contributions of materials and labor from its member individuals and institutions. NASA has deployed the coalition’s satellites into highly inclined low Earth orbits from two Space Shuttles and an Athena expendable launch vehicle at no cost to the Starshine project, as a service to the international educational community. Each of the satellites is covered by approximately 1000 small, front-surface aluminum mirrors that are machined by technology students in Utah and polished by tens of thousands of students in schools and other participating organizations around the world. These mirrors have been coated with a scratch-resistant, anti-oxidizing layer of Silicon Dioxide by optical engineers and technicians at the Hill Air Force Base in Utah and the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama

STARSHINE - NASA

So I repeat...

WAY TO GO NASA for making all those Kewl future NASA UFO's and keep the controversy alive  ;D

There are two other programs that also use free floating spheres that will look like UFO's

The NASA AERcam... a free floating camera orb and SPHERE's

continued next post...

AERCam Sprint





Quote
The Autonomous Extravehicular Activity Robotic Camera Sprint (AERCam Sprint) is an experiment planned to demonstrate the use of a prototype free-flying television camera that could be used for remote inspections of the exterior of the International Space Station.

The AERCam Sprint free-flyer is a 14-inch diameter, 35-pound sphere that contains two television cameras, an avionics system and 12 small nitrogen gas-powered thrusters. The sphere, which looks like an oversized soccer ball, was released by Mission Specialist Winston Scott during the STS-87 spacewalk and flew
freely in the forward cargo bay for about 30 minutes. The free-flyer was remotely controlled by Pilot Steve Lindsey from the Shuttle's aft flight deck using a hand controller, two laptop computers and a window-mounted antenna. The AERCam is designed to fly very slowly at a rate of less than one-quarter of a foot per second. Remote control of the AERCam is performed through two-way Ultra High Frequency radio communications, with data regarding the status of the free-flyer's systems transmitted back to the operator. Television images are transmitted back to the operator via a one-way S-band communications link. During the experiment operations, live television images also will be relayed via Columbia to Mission Control. Two miniature color television cameras are mounted on the free-flyer, one with a 6 millimeter lens and another with a 12 millimeter lens. The exterior of the free-flyer sphere is covered with a sixth-tenths of an inch-thick layer of Nomex felt to cushion any inadvertent contact with a spacecraft surface and prevent damage.

MORE SPHERES

SPHERES A Space Odyssey

[youtube]I-ecRSSHhII[/youtube]

Quote
The MIT Space Systems Laboratory developed the SPHERES (Synchronized Position Hold Engage and Reorient Experimental Satellites) laboratory environment to provide DARPA, NASA, and other researchers with a long term, replenishible, and upgradable testbed for the validation of high risk metrology, control, and autonomy technologies for use in formation flight and autonomous docking, rendezvous and reconfiguration algorithms. These technologies are critical to the operation of distributed satellite and docking missions such as Terrestrial Planet Finder and Orbital Express

But we should be ready for hundreds more of these things



They are going to release swarms of these things :P As if we didn't have enough junk out there

NASA Expanding Tests of Star Wars-Inspired Droids



Quote
You won’t find any light sabers on the International Space Station, but you will find a trio of “droids” that look a lot like what any self-respecting science fiction fan remembers as a Star Wars “remote.”

That’s the tricky little device that Luke Skywalker used to hone his light-saber skills before he went up against Darth Vader and the rest of the evil empire.

But instead of being used for light-saber practice, the droids on the space station are being used to test automated rendezvous and formation flying in zero-gravity. And soon, there may be a host of other things the droids will be used to test as their capabilities and uses are expanded and made available for National Laboratory and other uses.

Known officially as Synchronized Position, Hold, Engage and Reorient Experimental Satellites, or SPHERES, the droids have been on the station since 2006. Astronauts have conducted more than 20 experiment sessions with them, and are on tap to conduct many more. Each SPHERES droid is self-contained with power, propulsion, computing and navigation equipment. Together, they are testing techniques that could lead to advancements in automated dockings, satellite servicing, spacecraft assembly and emergency repairs.

The International Space Station has played host to a clutch of mini-satellites

These mini-satellites are football-sized devices that are part of a project called Synchronized Position Hold Engage Re-Orient Experimental Satellites (SPHERES).

This trio has been used to test control programmes that allow satellites to fly in formation with minimal human intervention. Individual space satellites could be co-ordinated to make powerful telescopes.

Better control procedures could also enable spacecraft to dock autonomously, an ability that could be useful for assembling objects in orbit.

I thought the UFO story was created by the DoD so your probably right :D I have the documents on that from DTIC :P

You got here fast... interesting that  8) (at ATS)

To me the most IMPORTANT statement in this project is this..

Three small, optically reflective spherical "STARSHINE" student satellites have been designed by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and built by an informal, volunteer coalition of organizations and individuals in the USA and Canada. This coalition is called "Project Starshine" and is headquartered in Monument, Colorado."



What is also interesting is that this is an OLD project :D

Starshine 3 Re-entry Bulletin - February 4, 2003

Quote
Starshine 3 burned up in the earth's upper atmosphere above northern Canada or southern Greenland at approximately 0515 UTC on January 21, 2003. It had made 7434 revolutions around the earth between the date of its launch from Kodiak, Alaska, on September 29, 2001, and its fiery end on January 21, 2003. No observations were reported of this event.

Out of respect for the brave crew of Space Shuttle Columbia who were lost on February 1, 2003, the Starshine web site will temporarily suspend operations.

Project Starshine

Project Description


So since this STARSHINE has been floating around up there all these years how come no one, including YOU (Jim), ever pointed it out before?

I also find it curious how your posting style has so many variations... one might almost think...

Nah...  ::)

About NASA's Small Satellite Missions

NASA's ability to rapidly develop and launch ground-breaking technologies into space just got more efficient and less expensive. NASA is pulling together engineers and scientist from across the country to develop and fly very small satellites, also called nanosatellites, in extremely short time frames. Small satellite missions provide NASA with valuable opportunities to test emerging technologies and economical commercial off-the-shelf components which may be useful in future space missions. Using small and very small satellites (weighing between 2-440 pounds) NASA can test innovative science and engineering technologies on a smaller scale in the space environment and better understand how hardware will survive the radiation, temperature and vacuum conditions encountered in space. NASA nanosatellites are designed for a wide spectrum of space missions including biology experiments, testing advanced propulsion and communications technologies.

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/smallsats/

These nanosatellites are from 2 to 440 lbs.  Whole lot of stuff flying around up there.  I wonder if x-37B  launched some nanosatellites?
From the past into the future any way I can...Educating...informing....guiding.
