Innovation Now

NASA is conducting ambitious tests to develop self-coordinating robotic swarms that can be used for space research and exploration.

For the past seven years, a team at NASA’s Glenn Research Center has been conducting unique fire safety demonstrations using the Cygnus capsule.

An interstellar shout has reestablished communications between NASA and Voyager2.

NASA wants to ensure that if we detect life on Mars, it did not come from Earth.

On August 5th, NASA’s Curiosity rover marked eleven years on the Red Planet.

When NASA developed materials for coating spaceplanes, they never imagined those same technologies would be used to improve the performance of hunting, skiing, and sports gear.

Psyche’s newly installed solar arrays will remain tucked away on the sides of the orbiter until the spacecraft leaves Earth.

Falcon Goggles could help researchers better understand the impact of gravity changes and design countermeasures that allow astronauts to adapt to space.

HAQAST shares satellite data with the people responsible for managing air quality in your community so they can use science to help protect your health.

Challenges bring together new teams with fresh ideas to solve problems. And many students report that their involvement in a NASA challenge helped them refine their career choice.

The Moon is pitted from impacts caused by a steady rain of space objects that could cause damage to anything on the lunar surface.

Building habitats on the Moon and Mars is much more complicated than building a structure on Earth.

This NASA Earth Venture instrument will help scientists explore how dust impacts global temperatures, cloud formation, and the health of our oceans.

The same NASA technology that protects astronauts can now protect your cell phone from extreme temperatures, even on a hot August night.

The Orion Crew Survival suits have been reengineered to improve safety and range of motion and will be custom fit for each crewmember.

NASA’s OSIRIS-Rex is the first U.S. mission to collect a sample from an asteroid. And soon those samples will have a new home.

At NASA, researchers use computer programs to conduct large complex simulations to predict how air moves. Now a team is pitching baseballs to validate their results.

For decades NASA researchers have studied lightning, looking for patterns in the dancing bolts that light the sky.

Innovative new tires will let Artemis astronauts set new records for distances driven on the Moon.

Tire sensors transmit information via low-frequency radio waves to the vehicle’s onboard computer, alerting drivers to a problem.
