NASA is reportedly set to conduct a study on how people from Earth can possibly breath in outer space. It has further been noted that a satellite may monitor the plant life influence in outer space to see how the planet's carbon cycle is being influenced. NASA scientists are reportedly analyzing carbon breathing on Earth as well.
NASA reportedly notes that plants absorb carbon via photosynthesis, without which, leaves die and so does the plant. The details on the breathing cycle are yet to be revealed but NASA and the University of Oklahoma are reportedly studying it as well. In addition, NASA is also said to be launching a satellite mission as well, according to report.
The NASA mission called Geostationary Carbon Cycle Observatory is expected to study plant health and the exchange of key gases between land and the atmosphere as well. The key gases have been noted by NASA as carbon monoxide, methane and carbon dioxide. The satellite is expected to float 22,000 miles above the equator as well to examine solar-based fluorescence and gas levels in the atmosphere as well.
NASA satellite is also expected to to have a grand resolution of 3 to 6 miles. NASA has not yet revealed the specific launch date. NASA reportedly spent $166 million for the 5-year mission.
In other news NASA reportedly revealed the images of how the icebergs are being made. The Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica reportedly captured the images on Nov. 10, 2016. Apparently, the images revealed the progressive break of the massive ice block, Travelandleisure reported.
NASA also noted that the iceberg eventually pulls from the shelf. The NASA image reportedly revealed the 300 foot wide crack. The images reportedly described as ice breaking off of large ice chunks from larger bodies of ice. The event was reportedly noted as a glacial calving. The scientists were reportedly exploring the part of Icebridge in a regular airborne survey when the ice shelf was noted. Watch more about the NASA satellite images here:
