![Although freeze-dried ice cream sandwiches were not actually part of the astronaut diet, the treats took advantage of advances in freeze-drying techniques NASA pioneered for its missions and were first created at the request of Ames Research Center’s Visitor Center.

![Flaring at drilling sites releases about 350 million tons of carbon dioxide per year and is associated with health problems among nearby populations. It’s also a major waste, as the gases being burned, if properly processed and separated, can be valuable fuels.

![NASA’s propulsion-system turbopumps, such as the Rocketdyne Mark-3 turbopump shown here, are sophisticated, complex, and expensive. As part of an effort to develop smaller, simpler, more affordable turbopumps for smaller spacecraft, Marshall Space Flight Center engineers created the Generalized Fluid System Simulation Program (GFSSP) to simultaneously analyze all the interacting flows in these intricate machines.
