After reviewing the International Space Station flight schedule, NASA and its partners are adjusting launch opportunities for several upcoming missions. This update to the schedule better aligns mission planning, logistics, and timing for upcoming flights to support space station operations.
Scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have turned to one of NASA’s high-altitude research planes to characterize a population of tiny particles in Earth’s lower stratosphere. Despite their small size, the study shows, the particles appear to play an outsized role in atmospheric chemistry. The findings, published April 23 in […]
As part of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission, four crew members from three space agencies will launch no earlier than mid-September to the International Space Station for a long-duration science expedition. NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney will serve as spacecraft commander and pilot, respectively. They will be joined by CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Joshua Kutryk and Roscosmos […]
With the Artemis II release of Eyes on the Solar System, we have added a long-requested new feature: a view showing the complete mission trajectory from a certain frame of reference. For the initial release, we added Artemis I and II, and also Voyager 1 and 2. Many more will be added soon. To use […]
The envelope expansion phase of any experimental aircraft is critical, not just for pushing the aircraft higher and faster, but for understanding how the aircraft operates in flight. As NASA’s X-59 experimental aircraft makes progress through its envelope expansion, the team is assessing data collected during specific maneuvers performed by the X-59’s pilot in flight. […]
A new exercise device, artery scans, and space gardening topped the research schedule for the Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station on Thursday. The orbital residents also worked on a spacesuit and continued unpacking the Progress 95 cargo craft.
Physics, biomedicine, and computer networking were the dominant projects for the Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday. The orbital residents also continued unpacking cargo from a pair of resupply ships while keeping up life support maintenance.
From the beginning of NASA’s work to bring its quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft from the drawing board into reality, the agency’s team knew they also needed to make a home for it. But at nearly 100 feet long and 30 feet wide, not just any hangar would do. So, while the experimental aircraft was being […]
Dr. James H. Crawford Receives the 2025 AGU Ambassador Award The annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) Ambassador Award honors individuals whose achievements extend beyond those recognized by traditional scientific discipline awards. Jim Crawford received his B.S. in mathematics from the United States Military Academy in 1986 and his Ph.D. in atmospheric chemistry from the Georgia […]
Eyes on the Solar System was updated several times this month, mainly to our simulation of Artemis II. Send feedback to eyes@jpl.nasa.gov.
