A new version of Eyes on the Earth was released on May 11, 2026, that has a share/embed feature prominently placed on the home screen. It also has a new SWOT video courtesy of our friends at SVS that shows changes in volume of the rivers of the world over the course of a year, […]
In preparation for the journey to reach the surface of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, the heat shield for NASA’s Dragonfly mission completed thermal-structural testing in the New Mexico desert. Dragonfly team members, including those from NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, and Lockheed […]
NASA’s Polylingual Experimental Terminal (PExT), designed to enable interoperability between satellite relay networks, has completed its planned technology demonstration. Given the primary mission’s success and the flexibility of the technology, NASA has extended operations to pursue new partnership opportunities and additional capability demonstrations. The terminal launched July 23, 2025, aboard York Space Systems’ BARD spacecraft […]
The Expedition 74 crew kicked off June with a busy schedule of microgravity research harvesting stem cells, installing physics hardware, and watering plants aboard the International Space Station. Spacesuit work and life support maintenance rounded out the day for the orbital residents.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has collected its first mid-infrared chemical fingerprint of an interstellar object during a recent revisit to comet 3I/ATLAS.
Data collected from the ground, aircraft, and communities are helping scientists piece together how carbon moves across the state’s diverse wetland landscapes.
The Expedition 74 crew members primarily focused their science work on blood-clotting and immune function in microgravity to advance human health on Friday. Meanwhile, spacesuit maintenance continues aboard the International Space Station following a spacewalk on Wednesday.
