Five research aircraft will support a Student Airborne Research Program (SARP) mission out of Ellington Field in Houston. Flights are expected from Wednesday, June 3 to Saturday, June 13. During the mission, select maneuvers will be conducted at low altitudes over the Houston area. Pilots will fly remote sensing payloads in raster patterns, or parallel back-and-forth lines. The instruments flown could help […]
This image of Westerlund 2 released on March 19, 2026, features Chandra X-ray Observatory data (pink) and infrared data from NASA’S James Webb Space Telescope (red, orange, green, cyan, and blue). Scores of gleaming stars ringed in neon pink stretch across the frame, highlighting a cluster where stars are between one and three million years […]
Summer is “Go” for launch, and NASA has a universe of ways to help you to jump in, explore, and create! Whether you prefer to spend this season fueling your creativity, going outdoors into nature, or daydreaming about your future, NASA offers ways to take your interests to the next level. Here are some opportunities […]
Engineers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, have completed their final inspection of a key element for the agency’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope: the primary mirror. This 7.9-foot (2.4-meter) mirror will collect and focus light from cosmic objects near and far, helping Roman capture stunning panoramas of space. “The Roman engineering […]
From May 5 to 7, the Landsat Science Team meeting convened at the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center in Sioux Falls, SD. Co-moderated by Landsat 8, 9, and 10 Project Scientist Chris Neigh, the three-day event officially introduced the new 2026–2030 Science Team members.
Wild disturbances are on the rise, while land disturbed by human activity has been decreasing.
With peak wildfire season approaching, scientists with NASA’s FireSense project have created low-cost thermal sensors to install on fire bulldozers that will alert firefighters when heat from a nearby fire reaches a dangerous level. The sensors also provide researchers with important data on what happens beneath the canopy during a fire. In April, researchers and […]
The Landsat 10 Spacecraft Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) is available for review via SAM.gov.
Durante una sesión informativa sobre el programa Base Lunar, celebrada en la sede de la NASA en Washington, la agencia anunció nuevos contratos para el desarrollo de vehículos lunares con capacidad para transportar tripulación y módulos de aterrizaje de carga no tripulados con destino a la Luna. Directivos de la NASA también dieron a conocer […]
In early May 2026, NASA employees, contractors, and volunteers helped to bring Heliophysics to girls of all ages in a fun-filled weekend of hands-on science activities and experiments.
La NASA informará sobre los avances de la misión Artemis III de la agencia y anunciará los astronautas asignados a este vuelo de prueba durante un evento en vivo a las 11 a.m. EDT (hora del este) del martes 9 de junio en el Centro Espacial Johnson de la agencia en Houston. Siga la rueda […]
Katherine Rauscher of Michigan Technological University prepares her team’s prototype lunar robot for its turn during the finals for NASA’s 2026 Lunabotics Challenge competition on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. Forty-seven teams from around the U.S. designed and built remote-controlled robots capable of traversing challenging lunar terrain while […]
Sea level data from a satellite launched by NASA and European partners shows that a swell of warm water hundreds of miles wide has arrived in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America, a sign that El Niño will likely emerge later in the year. Because water expands as it warms, a rise […]
Learn how to use the Satellite Data Explorer to search, access, and task commercial Earth Observation data.
Which comes first, the galaxy or the black hole? We don’t know, but scientists have long thought it could be the galaxy: Large stars within an existing galaxy consume their fuel and collapse to form black holes, which can gobble up surrounding material and merge over time to form more massive entities. But it’s hard […]
The volcano on Indonesia’s Halmahera Island routinely ejects ash, volcanic gases, and volcanic bombs.
NASA will provide an update on the agency’s Artemis III mission and announce the astronauts assigned to the test flight during a live event at 11 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 9, at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The event will stream on NASA+ and on the agency’s YouTube channel. Learn how to […]
Students in New York will hear from NASA astronaut Jessica Meir as she answers their prerecorded science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) questions while aboard the International Space Station. The Earth-to-space call will begin at 11:05 p.m. EDT Thursday, May 28, and will stream live on the agency’s Learn With NASA YouTube channel. This event […]
During a Moon Base event Tuesday at NASA’s Headquarters in Washington, the agency announced new contracts for lunar rovers for crew to drive and uncrewed cargo landers bound for the Moon. NASA leaders also shared target launch timeframes and upcoming milestones for the first Moon Base infrastructure and exploration missions to the lunar South Pole […]
