National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

NASA is an American space agency responsible for civilian space exploration and research. It was established in 1958, and since then, it has been at the forefront of many significant space missions and discoveries. NASA's primary focus is to explore the universe, study Earth's systems, develop new technologies, and collaborate with international partners to advance human knowledge of space. The agency operates various programs such as the International Space Station, Mars rovers, Hubble Space Telescope, and more. In addition to its scientific missions, NASA also has a long-term goal of sending humans to explore Mars and other celestial bodies in the future.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • Intuitive Machines, NASA Science Progress Toward Moon Landing – Artemis
  • NASA engineers make progress toward understanding Voyager 1 Issue – The Sun Spot
  • OSIRIS-REx Bulk Sample Mass – OSIRIS-REx Mission

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • A SpaceX Dragon is on track to arrive at the International Space Station today (Saturday), March 23 with an expected docking time of about 7:16 a.m. EDT. However, this information contradicts other sources which state that the Dragon Cargo Spacecraft has already arrived on July 16th, 2022.
  • Disassembly of the TAGSAM head was paused due to two stubborn fasteners keeping them from being able to complete the process and reveal the final sample within.
  • The body of the article states that NASA TV will provide live coverage of this event but there is no mention or link to any specific program or channel where viewers can watch this live. This information contradicts other sources which state that NASA will not be providing live coverage.
  • The source of the issue appears to be one of three onboard computers, the flight data subsystem (FDS), which is responsible for packaging science and engineering data before it's sent to Earth by the telemetry modulation unit. However, this information is contradicted by other sources.
  • The unpiloted Progress 87 is expected to lift off on a Soyuz rocket at 10:25 p.m. EST Wednesday, Feb. 14 (8:25 a.m. Baikonur time Thursday, Feb.

Deceptions

58%

Examples:

  • NASA coverage of rendezvous and docking will begin at 12:30 a.m., however this information is deceptive as it contradicts other sources which state that the event has already occurred.
  • The article claims that a new signal from one section of the FDS differed from the rest of unreadable data stream, but it does not provide any evidence to support this claim.
  • The body of the article states that NASA TV will provide live coverage of this event but there is no mention or link to any specific program or channel where viewers can watch this live.

    Upcoming Stargazing Event: The Rare Visibility of T Coronae Borealis in 2024

    Broke On: Thursday, 01 February 2024 In 2024, the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view the white dwarf star T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) in the constellation Corona Borealis becomes visible to the naked eye for the first time in nearly 80 years. This binary star system, consisting of a white dwarf and red giant, is expected to surge from a magnitude of +10 to +2, making it as bright as the North Star and visible for several days. T CrB last exploded in 1946 and provides valuable insights into binary star systems' life cycles.
