Any undergrads want a paid summer internship at @NASAGoddard? Our group is looking for 5 awesome people to help us find and study planets with TESS.

I can nearly guarantee you'll discover a new exoplanet if you want to work on the search side! It's a thrill that never fades!

@NASA_TESS A Goddard intern working with @NASA_TESS last summer discovered a planet orbiting two stars, like the fictional Tatooine of Star Wars. At first he thought it was one star eclipsing the other, but the timing was wrong. https://t.co/h7llny6cpy

With 5G, a new networking infrastructure is emerging, dependent on the Internet but distinct from it and subject to much more government and private control. @smalcomson considers the implications for both companies and states:

Look!

This is the 1st photo of Earth taken from the upper atmosphere!

Today, teams will compete to win a $2 million prize in @DAPRA’s Spectrum Collaboration Challenge. The program manager wrote for us last year about what he hopes this AI competition will accomplish. #DARPASC2 #MWC19 https://t.co/YeleeMhxfk

[IEEE Spectrum @IEEESpectrum]

What does it take to move the world’s most powerful RF emulator across the country? @DARPA had to figure that out for today’s Spectrum Collaboration Challenge, and @mekoziol has the story. #DARPASC2 #MWC19 https://t.co/0IfzwhpU3T

[DARPA @DARPA]

Colosseum is the world’s most powerful RF emulator. This research tool was custom-built for DARPA’s Spectrum Collaboration Challenge, a competition that’s applying A.I. to the problem of maximizing spectrum resources. Learn how it works: https://t.co/xz0s6GGAGe #DARPASC2

For the #Apollo50th, we’re comparing the iconic Apollo images of Earth, like Apollo 17’s Blue Marble, with today’s weather satellites’ view. See how the original Blue Marble compares to #SuomiNPP’s below. Thanks, Apollo, for the legacy of Earth observation and knowledge!

[NASA Goddard @NASAGoddard]

#OTD 50 years ago Apollo 11 lifted off for the Moon. Goddard operated the global network that made Apollo communications possible, from liftoff, to "giant leap," to splashdown. Then, as we still do today, we're proud to keep astronauts' lines of communications open. #Apollo50th

[IARPA @IARPAnews]

Progress in #ModSim depends on overcoming gaps in hardware, run-time, and application domains, and moving to more integrated models. Sound interesting? Respond to the SLAM RFI: https://t.co/PTRgpUZo6F

[IEEE Spectrum @IEEESpectrum]

NASA’s proposed Gateway could generate 5 to 8 Gb/s of data, and the agency will be counting on an optical communication system to send it all to Earth. #projectmoonbase https://t.co/PrV1BmAIpI
