TB 26-04 Webbings for Use in Elevated Oxygen Environments – NASA

Flammability test results for commercial-off-the-shelf webbings that meet NASA flammability requirements are reported for use in elevated oxygen environments anticipated for future lunar and Martian missions. Testing demonstrated that a webbing composed of 60% Kevlar®/40% polybenzimidazole (PBI) from Sturges Manufacturing Company, Inc., specifically the natural version, passed flammability testing per NASA-STD-6001B Test 1 using a

In Pursuit of Precision: Remembering John Barker – NASA Science

By Laura E.P. Rocchio John L. Barker, a seminal force behind Landsat’s science-grade data, died on Monday, July 6, 2026. He was 88. Barker was instrumental in transforming Landsat from a technology demonstration satellite that produced pictures of Earth into a well-understood science mission collecting images made from physically-based spectral measurements of Earth’s surface. The calibration standards relentlessly pursued by Barker
