  • Exploring the Universe Through Sight, Touch, and Sound
    For the first time in history, we can explore the universe through a rich blend of senses—seeing, touching, and hearing astronomical data—in ways that deepen our understanding of space. While three-dimensional (3D) models are essential tools for scientific discovery and analysis, their potential extends far beyond the lab. Space can often feel distant and abstract, […]
  • Sixty Years in Canberra: NASA’s Deep Space Network
    by Monika Luabeya
    Deep Space Station 43 (DSS-43), a 230-foot-wide (70-meter-wide) radio antenna at NASA’s Deep Space Network facility in Canberra, Australia, is seen in this March 4, 2020, image. DSS-43 was more than six times as sensitive as the original antenna at the Canberra complex, so it could communicate with spacecraft at greater distances from Earth. In […]
  • NASA’s Deep Space Network Starts New Dish, Marks 60 Years in Australia
    by Anthony Greicius
    Canberra joined the global network in 1965 and operates four radio antennas. Now, preparations have begun on its fifth as NASA works to increase the network’s capacity. NASA’s Deep Space Network facility in Canberra, Australia celebrated its 60th anniversary on March 19 while also breaking ground on a new radio antenna. The pair of achievements […]
  • NASA Tech Developed for Home Health Monitoring  
    by Andrew Wagner
    Even before we’re aware of heart trouble or related health issues, our bodies give off warning signs in the form of vibrations. Technology to detect these signals has ranged from electrodes and patches to watches. Now, an innovative wall-mounted technology is capable of monitoring vital signs. Advanced TeleSensors Inc. developed the Cardi/o Monitor with an […]
  • The Sky’s Not the Limit: Testing Precision Landing Tech for Future Space Missions
    by Loura Hall
    Nestled in a pod under an F/A-18 Hornet aircraft wing, flying above California, and traveling up to the speed of sound, NASA put a commercial sensor technology to the test. The flight tests demonstrated the sensor accuracy and navigation precision in challenging conditions, helping prepare the technology to land robots and astronauts on the Moon […]
  • How NASA’s Perseverance Is Helping Prepare Astronauts for Mars
    by Anthony Greicius
    The rover carries several swatches of spacesuit materials, and scientists are assessing how they’ve held up after four years on the Red Planet. NASA’s Perseverance rover landed on Mars in 2021 to search for signs of ancient microbial life and to help scientists understand the planet’s climate and geography. But another key objective is to […]
  • NASA Cloud Software Helps Companies Find their Place in Space 
    by Andrew Wagner
    Planning space missions is a very involved process, ensuring orbits are lined up and spacecraft have enough fuel is imperative to the long-term survival of orbital assets. Continuum Space Systems Inc. of Pasadena, California, produces a cloud-based platform that gives mission planners everything they need to certify that their space resources can accomplish their goals.  […]
  • NASA Propellant Tech Could Fuel Long-Duration Missions  
    by Loura Hall
    Many of the conveniences we have on Earth are still being developed to work in space. For example, we can easily measure the amount of fuel in a car’s tank because gravity causes gas to settle at the bottom. However, in low gravity, fuel can cling to the side walls of a spacecraft’s tank, making […]
  • NASA Reveals Semifinalists of Power to Explore Challenge
    NASA has selected the 45 semifinalists of the Power to Explore Challenge, a national competition for K-12 students featuring the enabling power of radioisotopes.
  • Goodnight, Moon: NASA Cameras on Blue Ghost Capture Lunar Sunset
    by Joseph Scott Atkinson
    This compressed, resolution-limited gif shows the view of lunar sunset from one of the six Stereo Cameras for Lunar-Plume Surface Studies (SCALPSS) 1.1 cameras on Firefly’s Blue Ghost lander, which operated on the Moon’s surface for a little more than 14 days and stopped, as anticipated, a few hours into lunar night. SCALPSS was taking […]
