Jared Head updates us on Hayabusa-2's mission to Ryugu and its sample that will be coming back to Earth in the next couple of years.

Sarah Vincent has a NASA Science update on synthetic DNA

And finally Dr. Tamitha Skov updates on on the latest Space Weather for this week.

This week we bring on Dr. Tamitha Skov to talk about Space Weather and it's impact on your daily life. We also go over how she got started and her journey to becoming the Space Weather Woman.

This episode has been edited to remove technical issues and re-organized for better flow.

NASA is looking to send humans to go back to the moon, and this time they want to do it quickly... Within the next decade! But to get there we'll need to make sure that we don't have so much debris floating around the Earth that we can't launch any rockets through! And we close with a quick tribute to the MER-B rover, also known as opportunity. As always, Dr. Tamitha Skov joins us to bring you the latest Space Weather report.

This is your Space News from TMRO for February 13th, 2019. This week we swap out Launch Minute for our new Space Traffic report. We hope you enjoy and see the future there. Orbex has opened a new rocket production and operations facility while also showing off one of their engineering prototype stages. The two MarCO satellites orbiting Mars have fallen silent but maybe not forever. Sarah Vincent joins us for the first time on the News program to give an update on Curiosity and Jared rounds it out with new data from Ultima Thule. And just like last week we welcome on Dr. Tamitha Skov to bring us the latest Space Weather this week.

This week we welcome on Lena De Winne, the Deputy Head of Administration of Asgardia to talk about what Asgardia is, what they hope to accomplish and how they will get there. Asgardia is the first Space Nation and you can get more information at asgardia.space.

This is your Space News from TMRO for February 6th, 2019. This week we don't have a Space Traffic report, but we do have four different rocket engine tests, ISRO officially has a human spaceflight program now, Jared talks to us about Lunar Craters and SpaceIL is getting ready to launch their mission and time capsule to the moon! This week we also welcome Dr. Tamitha Skov in our new Space Weather segment!

Joe Barnard of BPS.space joins us to talk about his work in making model rockets emulate larger, liquid fueled vehicles such as Falcon and Electron. He has created many amazing models and has been working on thrust vector control (TVC) steering of models as well as being able to stage and even land model rockets. This is his story.
