Artemis II astronauts trained on T-38 jets, which helps prepare them for the rigors of upcoming Moon missions and inspires the public by showing NASA's commitment to safe, successful human spaceflight.
Researchers developed an advanced algorithm that helps schedule satellite operations even when there is uncertainty about factors like profit, resources, and weather. This could lead to more reliable and flexible Earth observation from satellites.

Advances in computer vision and drones have improved optical remote sensing, giving organizations new ways to monitor the planet from the air. This could lead to better understanding of environmental changes and new applications for drone technology.
New computer techniques can help telescopes see fainter, more distant objects in space, revealing more about the early universe.
NASA found issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft during a test flight, raising concerns about the safety and reliability of the system that is meant to transport astronauts to the International Space Station.
Researchers grew high-quality lysozyme crystals in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station, which could lead to improved understanding and production of proteins critical for human health.
An Indian-born scientist became the first female program scientist for major NASA space telescopes, showing how diverse teams shape critical space exploration.
NASA will reveal findings today about what went wrong during Boeing's Starliner spacecraft's test flight to the International Space Station. This matters because it could impact the timeline for when the Starliner is ready to start carrying astronauts to the ISS.
NASA created a special camera that can capture images of invisible air flow, helping engineers design better, safer aircraft.
NASA is developing an air traffic management system for high-altitude airspace, making it more accessible for emerging applications like telecommunications and emergency response.
NASA has selected a private company, Vast, to send astronauts to the International Space Station, marking the sixth such private mission. This expands opportunities for private citizens to experience spaceflight and signals growing commercial access to space.
Researchers developed an AI-powered planning system to help Earth observation satellites optimize their orbits and sensors, potentially leading to more valuable science data collected about our planet.
New satellites can map Earth's magnetic shield, helping people understand solar storms that can disrupt power grids and communication.

Researchers developed a hybrid control system using physics-informed neural networks to more accurately predict and control the orientation of satellites in orbit, which could improve the reliability and performance of satellite-based technologies.
NASA's Curiosity rover has entered the final phase of its boxwork exploration campaign at Gale crater, providing new insights into the geological history and potential habitats for life on Mars.
NASA's next-generation Artemis moon suits have passed a key review, paving the way for the first astronaut landing at the Moon's South Pole, an unexplored region that could reveal new insights about the lunar surface.
In 1972, the first civilian satellite designed to image Earth's land surfaces was launched, marking an important milestone in our ability to observe and study our planet from space.
The COBE satellite measured the leftover radiation from the Big Bang, confirming our understanding of the origins of the universe and providing a glimpse into the extreme conditions shortly after the universe began.
