Innovation Now

NASA supports the design and development of multiple commercial space stations like Starlab.

As part of the REACCH Demonstration, tentacle-like arms that extend and wrap around objects were added to one of the Astrobee robotic units in orbit.

Driving on Mars is no easy task. But generative AI and other smart tools are streamlining the process.

Anything that goes into space and returns to Earth must pass through Earth’s atmosphere, making atmospheric flight testing critical for space missions.

In 1973, science fiction author Al Nussbaum wrote about a farmer on Mars whose daughter looks up at a twinkling star – Earth.

Venus is so hot it can melt a spacecraft in hours. But that’s not stopping researchers from looking into an ambitious idea to bring a piece of Venus back to Earth.

NASA undertakes high-risk, high-reward missions to discover revolutionary ways of doing new science.

While several robotic missions have landed on Mars, NASA has explored only one percent of the Martian surface.

Crew-12 is safely aboard the International Space Station.

If the sky is clear, you could see a blood Moon in the early morning hours of Tuesday, March 3rd.

Sending humans to and from Mars is impossible without a reliable source of oxygen.

Testing for the spacesuits that will be worn by NASA’s Artemis III crew is underway.

This is National Engineers Week. And no one understands how engineering transforms our future better than NASA.

TEMPO has a new trick. It can see in the dark.

In an area defined by stark Arctic expanses and rugged terrain, life persists. Even a glacier found here pulses like a heart.

The same coating that protected the shuttle is used to create cold-weather gear that emits body heat back to the wearer.

Astronauts need hearty nutrients to maintain a healthy diet in space.

Closely contested Olympic events rely on an accurate measure of time where the difference between gold and silver can be a fraction of a second. Accurate timekeeping is critical to NASA as well.

NASA uses spectroscopy to determine what planets, and their atmospheres, are made of by analyzing how light interacts with matter.

What do Olympic athletes and objects in space have in common? Both are matter in motion.
