official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s Lucy spacecraft has its next flyby target, the small main belt asteroid  Donaldjohanson, in its sights. By blinking between images captured by Lucy on Feb. 20 and 22, this animation shows the perceived motion of Donaldjohanson relative to the background stars as the spacecraft rapidly approaches the asteroid. LucyContinue reading “NASA’s Lucy Spacecraft Takes Its 1st Images of Asteroid Donaldjohanson”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Out of school time (OST) educators work with youth in afterschool, community, and camp programs. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning in OST can be challenging for multiple reasons, including lack of materials and support for educators. The NASA Science Activation program’s PLANETS project – Planetary Learning that AdvancesContinue reading “Sharing PLANETS Curriculum with Out-of-School Time Educators”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft took another successful step toward flight with the conclusion of a series of engine performance tests. During maximum afterburner testing, a test demonstrating the engine’s ability to generate the thrust required for supersonic flight, the aircraft showed off a phenomenon known as Mach diamonds,Continue reading “Diamonds from NASA’s X-59”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The orbiter bound for Jupiter’s moon Europa will investigate whether the moon is habitable, but it first will get the help of Mars’ gravitational force to get to deep space. On March 1, NASA’s Europa Clipper will streak just 550 miles (884 kilometers) above the surface of Mars for what’sContinue reading “NASA’s Europa Clipper Uses Mars to Go the Distance”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY That’s a great question. And it’s a question that NASA will seek to answer with the Europa Clipper spacecraft. Europa is a moon of Jupiter. It’s about the same size as Earth’s Moon, but its surface looks very different. The surface of Europa is covered with a layer of ice,Continue reading “Is There Potential for Life on Europa?

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA and its international partners have hosted research experiments and fostered collaboration aboard the International Space Station for over 25 years. More than 4,000 investigations have been conducted, resulting in over 4,400 research publications with 361 in 2024 alone. Space station research continues to advance technology on Earth and prepareContinue reading “Science in Orbit: Results Published on Space Station Research in 2024”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Assembly is underway for Gateway’s Power and Propulsion Element, the module that will power the lunar space station’s journey to and around the Moon as part of NASA’s Artemis campaign.

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY A new international study partially funded by NASA on how Mars got its iconic red color adds to evidence that Mars had a cool but wet and potentially habitable climate in its ancient past. The current atmosphere of Mars is too cold and thin to support liquid water, an essentialContinue reading “NASA: New Study on Why Mars is Red Supports Potentially Habitable Past”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA is sending revolutionary technologies to the Moon aboard Intuitive Machines’ second lunar delivery as part of the agency’s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative and Artemis campaign to establish a long-term presence on the lunar surface.  As part of this CLPS flight to the Moon, NASA’s Space Technology Mission DirectorateContinue reading “Five Facts About NASA’s Moon Bound Technology”
