Program News and Announcements - Cosmic Origins (COR)

• The D.7 Strategic Astrophysics Technology (SAT) program under ROSES aims to develop essential technologies for future space missions, as recommended by the 2010 Decadal Survey of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
• Proposals for the 2021 D.7 SAT must specifically address technology needs outlined in the forthcoming 2020 Decadal Survey of Astronomy and Astrophysics report.
• Proposals focusing on technology development unrelated to the 2020 Decadal Survey can be submitted to the D.3 Astrophysics Research and Analysis (APRA) program.
• Detailed guidelines and due dates for D.7 SAT will be provided in a future amendment after the release of the 2020 Decadal Survey, with a minimum proposal submission period of 90 days.
• The Astrophysics Technology Gaps List will not be updated in time for this year's SAT, so proposers should consult the D.7 SAT text once it is released for project scope.
• For general questions regarding the SAT program, contact Mario R. Perez at mario.perez@nasa.gov.

Cosmic Beings in Mesoamerican and Andean Art

• Ancient Mesoamerica and the Andean regions developed a rich variety of cultures over extensive geographical areas and long periods.
• These cultures evolved from basic agricultural societies to sophisticated cultural centers with remarkable cities and advanced artistic achievements.
• Each culture had complex belief systems concerning the origins of the universe and the roles of humans and supernatural entities.
• Ritual practices, such as shamanic transformations and connections with animal spirits, intertwined human experiences with cosmic dimensions.
• The art displayed in this gallery features depictions of ancestors, humans, deities, supernatural animals, and monsters, made from materials like ceramic, stone, shell, and animal products.
• Visual symbols and stories on ceremonial vessels, tomb sculptures, and personal ornaments illustrate how early peoples addressed essential questions about existence, immortality, and the universe's nature.

• Author: Victoria A. Padgett, with ORCID Identifier [0009-0000-5424-7007](https://orcid.org/0009-0000-5424-7007).
• Degree: Master of Science (MS) awarded on May 1, 2024, from the Department of Computer Science at Georgia State University.
• Advisors: The thesis was supervised by Ashwin Ashok, Xiaochun He, Chetan Tiwari, and Marcus Murbach.
• Research Focus: The thesis explores the correlation between muon flux and extreme weather events, highlighting the importance of monitoring cosmic ray interactions due to the rise in extreme weather occurrences.
• Muon Production: Muons are mainly produced in the atmosphere through interactions between cosmic rays and atmospheric molecules, particularly in the lower stratosphere and upper troposphere.
• Key Challenge: The research tackles the challenge of differentiating between changes in muon flux caused by solar activities and those due to variations in Earth's weather systems.
• Mobile Detector Development: The thesis introduces a mobile muon detector designed to measure cosmic-ray flux both above and on Earth, which can assist in climate event prediction models.
• Data Collection: The study incorporates data gathered from ground-based and commercial aircraft studies to ensure the consistency and reliability of the analysis.
• DOI and Citation: The thesis is titled "C(cubed)Sat: A Cosmic Climate Cuboid Nanosatellite for Monitoring Above-Earth Cosmic Activity" and can be accessed via DOI [10.57709/36968118](https://doi.org/10.57709/36968118).
• Availability: The thesis will be available for download on April 26, 2025.
