UPDATE June 30, 2025: The second rocket of the SEED mission launched on Saturday, June 28, at 8:11 p.m. Marshall Islands Time (MHT). Principal investigator Aroh Barjatya reports that the rocket launched into active science conditions in the ionosphere and that good data were received from the main and ejectable subpayloads. This concludes the SEED
Big or small, we all take risks nearly every day. But how does NASA manage it? Dr. Mary Skow, NASA’s first agency risk management officer, explains.
NASA and Axiom Space mission managers discuss how they work together to enable private astronaut missions ahead of Axiom Mission 4’s launch. HWHAP 388.

NASA’s Air Traffic Management-eXploration Project aims to accommodate the growing demand of traditional and emerging aircraft that share the friendly skies.
Just after sunrise, the waning gibbous moon sets just behind a waving United States flag on March 19, 2025, in this image from NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. The waning gibbous moon phase comes after the full moon. As the Moon begins its journey back toward the Sun, the opposite side of the
Two NASA experts discuss an experiment that will further our understanding of flame behavior on the lunar surface to keep astronauts safe. HWHAP 386.
NASA has a record of Earth observations going back more than 50 years. What might be in store for the next 50 years? In this finale of our Earth series, we hear from two scientists helping to chart the course of NASA Earth science. There are still many unanswered questions about our home planet. As the only planet that we know to have life, studying Earth is also crucial as NASA searches for other habitable worlds.
Two NASA project managers discuss how astronauts will drive on the lunar surface during future Moon missions. HWHAP 385.
NASA's SPHEREx mission will map 450 million galaxies like we’ve never seen before.
A NASA scientist discusses how imagery and data collected from the International Space Station can support natural disaster response teams on the ground. HWHAP 384
Take a deep breath, and you’re inhaling oxygen from Earth’s atmosphere. Take a walk outside, and the atmosphere is shielding you from harmful radiation. NASA research provides crucial data to understand air quality and the intricate processes happening in the sky above us. In this episode, hear the inside story of NASA’s research into the ozone layer. Left unchecked, our reliance on ozone-depleting chemicals threatened to expose the entire planet to dangerous UV radiation. We’ll also fly along with Laura Judd, a NASA scientist studying air quality in the U.S. and around the world.
Four NASA flight controllers discuss specialized operations like spacewalks and spacecraft arrivals that keep the International Space Station running. HWHAP 383
This video shows SPHEREx's field of view as it scans across one section of sky inside the Large Magellanic Cloud, with rainbow colors representing the infrared wavelengths the telescope's detectors see.
What can the auroras tell us about our planet’s relationship with the Sun? NASA’s EZIE mission looks into it.
What does the future of space exploration look like? At the 2025 FIRST Robotics World Championship in Houston, NASA gave student robotics teams and industry leaders a first-hand look—complete with lunar rovers, robotic arms, and real conversations about shaping the next era of discovery. NASA engaged directly with the Artemis Generation, connecting with more than
