A solar sail uses light particles from the Sun to move through space without needing a single drop of fuel. NASA is demonstrating the lightweight technology that could open doors to low-cost missions to deep space.
To build habitats on the Moon and Mars, first we need to simulate lunar and Martian soil on Earth. We got the dirt on regolith simulants.
NASA’s Centennial Challenges Program Office awards citizen solvers prize money to address some of the toughest problems in exploration.
On September 17, 2025, NASA announced that the number of exoplanets, planets outside our solar system, tracked by NASA has reached 6,000. In the three decades since the groundbreaking detection of exoplanet 51 Pegasi b, the first confirmed planet orbiting a Sun-like star, astronomers have concluded that exotic worlds are everywhere.
