The group was introduced Monday following a competitive selection process of more than 8,000 applicants from across the United States. The class now will complete nearly two years of training before becoming eligible for flight assignments supporting future science and exploration […]


We have 2 new subscribers to our 200 for TROM campaign - tromsite.com/donate/

Thank Aaron and Wilf!

We need 9 more people in order to achieve our first goal: start a video series, bring back TROMnews and provide 20GB storage space for TROM Files for all users.

BackgroundThe NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) has reviewed flight, ground test, and published data on ultraviolet-induced degradation of silicone based thermal control coatings. Analysis has shown, for at least one silicone coating, that bake-out plays an important role in ultraviolet (UV) degradation, indicating that UV interaction with paint volatiles, and not the structural material, […]


Lettuce Find Healthy Space Food! Citizen Scientists Study Space Salads Missions to the Moon and Mars pose nutritional challenges for astronauts. Now, a new paper on space-grown food iMissions to the Moon and Mars pose nutritional challenges for astronauts, but volunteers from NASA’s Open Science Data Repository Analysis Working Groups (OSDR-AWG) are working together to […]


Rebooting TROM! These are our goals if you can help:

We can increase the storage space for TROM Files up to 50GB for each user. We can start a new video series, bring back TROMnews, make an app for VideoNeat, and more.

We only need a minimum of help. A handful of people willing to donate 5 Euros a month.

Since we do not bullshit you with "you send us money and we will give you a special treatment" then it is harder to find people to help us since everyone is used to being "rewarded" for their help.

But we want to keep everything that we do trade-free for EVERYONE.

We could easily say "If you donate we will give you more storage space on TROM Files" or more advantages for any of our services.

But we NEVER did that, and NEVER will.

Therefore, if you see the value in what we do - and please see here tromsite.com/donate/ all of what we do (scroll down to see it all), then please support us with this campaign.

The hopes are low, but then the surprises can feel a lot better.

Podcaster and journalist Gabriel Gatehouse sets out to solve the biggest mystery in tech, who is Satoshi Nakamoto, the elusive creator of Bitcoin? But Gabriel realises in fact he's on a much bigger story.


It is finally time to take care of TROM. The website got a bit updated/fixed here and there. We also updated the Donation page. There are 89 people who donate 5 Euros a month. Thank you so much!

Soon we will add goals to the donation page, and if we reach those we can release some new stuff and/or increase the storage for TROM Files for everyone and so forth.

If you can donate and support the so many projects we do, see tromsite.com/donate/

Written by Melissa Rice, Professor of Planetary Science at Western Washington University Perseverance accomplished something unusual this week: abrading two dramatically different rocks within the span of a few days. While exploring the Vernodden area along Jezero crater’s rim, the rover has been studying what might be “megablocks,” a variety of ancient crustal materials with […]


We have managed to finally move from Gitea to Forgejo - git.trom.tf/ - thank you @Roma for doing it 😀.

But we had to move repo by repo so we could not move the users. Only 3 other users used our git, and all of them were not active for the past year. This TROM Git is pretty much exclusively used for our TROMjaro project, but anyone can request an account there and use it fully.

Now TROM.tf is fully moved to the new server!

Summary Space is a dangerous place — one that NASA continues to explore for the benefit of all. It’s filled with radiation and high-energy particles that can damage DNA and circuit boards alike. Yet life endures in our solar system in part because of the heliosphere, a giant bubble created by the Sun that extends […]


NASA and its partners recently tested a tool for remotely piloted operations that could enable operators to transport people and goods more efficiently within urban areas. The team’s goal is to ensure that when these remotely piloted aircraft – including electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (eVTOLs) – take to the skies, air traffic controllers […]
