NASA's Artemis II mission will carry mementos that honor our nation's long tradition of exploration.

Exploring ocean worlds, like Europa, Enceladus or Titan, require electronics that can function in unforgiving conditions.

When NASA's DART spacecraft intentionally impacted the asteroid Dimorphos, one of two asteroids in a binary system, the crash shifted the orbit of both asteroids around the Sun.

The farther the destination, the more fuel a rocket needs. The more fuel the rocket carries, the heavier the spacecraft. The heavier the spacecraft, the more fuel it requires to launch.

Snow covered the ground that Tuesday morning one hundred years ago. A professor, his wife and two colleagues were about to soar into the future.

While meteorologists have been celebrating spring since the first of March, astronomically speaking, spring begins today.

NASA is tackling the challenge of safely integrating air taxi technologies into the national airspace system.

NASA's Curiosity rover has seen the Martian spiderwebs up close.

With no refrigeration, resupply, or late-load capability, all food that will fly aboard Artemis II was carefully chosen for the mission.

Many of us are adjusting our biological clocks as we spring forward into daylight savings time.

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.

Greek artist Ioannis Michaloudis credits his success to NASA, claiming he is what he is because of Stardust.

NASA is back for seconds with a new food system design challenge.

Recovering from a broken bone can be a long, painful experience, even life-threatening for the elderly. But imagine what might happen to an astronaut thousands of miles from medical care.

NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy recently announced a renewed partnership to safely harness nuclear power in space.

NASA technology brings the golden age of exploration to Earth.

Advancing aeronautics is central to NASA's mission, and the X-59 continues that tradition by quieting supersonic air travel over land.

Augmented Reality could help NASA produce future spacecraft for new missions of discovery.

How do you get an eleven-million-pound rocket from the Vehicle Assembly Building to a launchpad more than four miles away?

NASA airborne campaigns are crucial for studying air quality, pinpointing pollution sources, and understanding the chemistry in the clouds.

Today is Groundhog Day and many of us just recovering from back-to-back winter storms, are hoping the groundhog doesn't see his shadow!

The future of in-space robotics relies on testing operations in space.

The winners from NASA's Vascular Tissue Challenge are taking their Earth-based research to space.
