NASA Public-Private Partnership to Advance Mars Science Technology Through Aeolus Atmospheric‑Science Instrument

NASA will provide the Aeolus atmospheric‑science instrument payload suite

NASA announced a new public‑private partnership to advance Mars science by combining the agency’s scientific leadership with commercial innovation.

Under this model, NASA will provide the Aeolus atmospheric‑science instrument payload suite, while Relativity Space supplies the spacecraft, rocket, and cruise operations necessary to deliver the instruments to Mars.

This partnership reflects NASA’s growing commitment to approaches that accelerate discovery, expand mission cadence, and strengthen the foundation for future human exploration.

By leveraging commercial investment and development capacity, NASA can focus resources on high‑value science while enabling more frequent opportunities to gather critical data about Mars, data essential to safely navigating the Martian atmosphere and ultimately landing humans on the surface.

“Public-private partnerships like this are a force multiplier for science,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.

“By pairing NASA’s world‑class instruments with commercial innovation and investment, we can deliver more science, more often, and reduce the time it takes to get essential data into the hands of researchers preparing for future human missions to Mars.”

Aeolus, scheduled to launch in 2028, is a NASA‑developed suite of four complementary instruments designed to provide the first integrated, daily, global view of Martian winds, temperatures, dust, and clouds.

By improving models for dust, winds, temperature, and seasonal atmospheric behavior, Aeolus will generate the detailed environmental knowledge required to reduce risk for future crewed and uncrewed landings.

These measurements will directly inform entry, descent, and landing systems and support safer, more predictable mission planning for astronauts.

Researchers at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley will design, build, and integrate the payload, while Relativity Space will manage spacecraft development and mission operations.

“As NASA’s Innovation Center of Excellence, Ames is committed to delivering the technologies, capabilities, and creative partnerships that enable the agency’s boldest missions,” said Dr. Eugene Tu, center director, NASA Ames.

“Aeolus reflects how innovative collaboration accelerates science and strengthens the foundation needed for one day landing humans on Mars.”

The Aeolus payload suite includes four NASA‑built instruments:

• Doppler Wind and Temperature Sounder (DWTS‑Ozone): Measures wind and temperature profiles from the surface up to approximately 37 miles (60 km). A collaboration with GATS.

• Thermal Limb Sounder (TLS): Provides vertical temperature profiles and observations of dust and water‑ice clouds. A collaboration with Xiomas Technologies.

• Surface Radiometric Sensor Package (SuRSeP): Measures surface energy balance, dust, and cloud properties.

• Wide‑Field Context Camera (WFCC): Captures daily global images of atmospheric activity.

NASA will support the operations of science instruments for at least one Martian year, while Relativity Space maintains the spacecraft.

As part of the agreement, NASA will develop the data‑processing pipeline needed to transform raw measurements into high‑quality, ready‑to‑use data products for broad scientific use.

This effort is supported under NASA’s first six‑year reimbursable Space Act Agreement, providing a stable framework for sustained collaboration, predictable development, and mission continuity.

Joshua Manns Pleads Guilty to Second-Degree Murder of 3-Year-Old Jameson Nance, Receives 60-Year Prison Sentence

Manns entered the guilty plea on Wednesday morning in Brevard County Circuit Court in Viera

BREVARD COUNTY • VIERA, FLORIDA – Joshua Manns has admitted responsibility in the 2021 death of 3-year-old Jameson Nance, pleading guilty to second-degree murder and several related abuse charges just as his murder trial was set to begin.

Manns entered the guilty plea on Wednesday morning in Brevard County Circuit Court in Viera, bringing an end to a criminal case that had been pending for nearly five years.

The plea came as jury selection was underway for what had been scheduled as a first-degree murder trial.

Manns had originally been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse in connection with the death of Nance. Prosecutors alleged the child suffered fatal injuries as a result of abuse.

Under an agreement reached with the State Attorney’s Office, Manns pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, child neglect causing great bodily harm, and child abuse.

In exchange, prosecutors agreed to a sentence that would avoid a lengthy trial and eliminate the possibility of a death sentence.

The plea agreement calls for Manns to receive a 60-year prison sentence for the second-degree murder conviction. He is scheduled to be formally sentenced on Monday.

Court records indicate Manns will also receive concurrent sentences on the remaining charges, including a 30-year sentence for aggravated child abuse. Because the sentences will run concurrently, they will be served at the same time as the 60-year sentence.

The case stems from the death of Nance in 2021, a tragedy that drew significant attention due to the young age of the victim and the serious nature of the allegations.

During Monday’s sentencing hearing, family members and others affected by the child’s death are expected to have an opportunity to address the court through victim impact statements.

Such statements allow survivors and loved ones to describe how the crime has affected their lives before a sentence is formally imposed.

By entering the guilty plea, Manns waived his right to a jury trial, bringing the criminal proceedings to a close without the need for jurors to hear evidence and determine a verdict.

The sentencing hearing on Monday is expected to finalize the terms of the plea agreement and officially conclude one of Brevard County’s most serious child-abuse homicide cases in recent years.
