Episode one launches with Jennifer Trosper in the driver’s seat. As she looks in the rearview mirror at twenty-five years of exploring with NASA’s Mars rovers, she reveals how their progression has kept pace with milestones in her life.

En el primer episodio de Universo Curioso de la NASA, te presentamos al telescopio espacial James Webb, el más grande, complejo y poderoso jamás construido. Webb abrirá una nueva ventana al cosmos, desde donde veremos estrellas, galaxias, planetas y otros objetos como nunca antes.e

In this third episode of a five-part series about NASA’s Laser Communications Relay Demonstration, we look at the LCRD flight payload, which launched on the U.S. Space Force’s Space Test Program Satellite-6 earlier on December 7.

In the fourth season of “On a Mission” we’ll be transported to the Red Planet with all five of NASA’s Mars rovers.

Acompáñanos a explorar el telescopio espacial James Webb, el más grande, complejo y poderoso jamás construido.

In this second episode of an LCRD-focused season of The Invisible Network podcast, we take a look at the reasons NASA is embracing optical communications technologies and what challenges LCRD will overcome.

Today, Tuesday, December 7, 2021, the U.S. Space Force’s Space Test Program Satellite-6 launched from Kennedy Space Center on Florida’s space coast. The spacecraft contains a revolutionary space communications mission, NASA's Laser Communications Relay Demonstration, or LCRD.

NASA is about to launch a new spacecraft to look at the universe in X-ray light. The Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer, IXPE, will look at extreme objects such as black holes, neutron stars, and supernovae, asking fundamental questions about how high-energy light gets produced.

Over five episodes, this new season of The Invisible Network will dive into NASA's Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD), which will showcase the benefits of optical communications, which uses infrared lasers instead of radio waves to communicate.

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test Mission, or DART, will deliberately impact a small asteroid called Dimorphos to deflect its orbit around a bigger object, Didymos. Nancy Chabot, planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, has the details.

As NASA prepares to send astronauts to the Moon through the Artemis program, engineers are working on technologies that will give these explorers power – solar power, that is. In space, the harsh radiation and huge temperature changes make for a challenging environment.

FAIRMONT – In a matter of days, students all across the state will have the opportunity to select Robotics as a recognized co-curricular activity by the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission. Starting Nov. 1, students in high schools involved in the WVSSAC will be able to participate in robotics as part of a sanctioned

Yaireska Collado-Vega leads a team at NASA’s Goddard Spacecraft Center that is studying the solar weather environment so that robots and people exploring space can be protected. In this episode of Gravity Assist, she describes the excitement and challenges of understanding space weather, and how she got to be a NASA scientist.

FAIRMONT – NASA’s Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Program’s Education Resource Center hosted a successful Digital Day in the Park STEM event for the second year in a row this week. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, this STEM learning event took place in-person at the Robert H. Mollohan Research Center. While organizers and students do

To get a more complete understanding of the full history of our solar system, NASA is sending a spacecraft called Lucy to investigate the Trojans, mysterious small objects that share an orbit of the Sun with Jupiter. Principal investigator Hal Levison of the Southwest Research Institute

Happy International Podcast Day! The Invisible Network has some exciting things coming up, including seasons about NASA’s Laser Communications Relay Demonstration and NASA’s Deep Space Network. In the meantime, you can find all of NASA's out of this world podcasts at nasa.gov/podcasts.

Janelle Wellons likes to say that she operates “fancy space cameras.” At NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, she creates commands that allow spacecraft to take valuable scientific data in our solar system and here at planet Earth.

West Virginia native and NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson would turn 103 this year on the same day as Women’s Equality Day, and many of those working at her namesake facility in Fairmont see a fitting connection. Today, NASA’s Katherine Johnson Independent Verification and Validation Facility bears her name and legacy housing a program that assures

The laws of physics get very, very weird in the realm of particles too small for the eye to see. Aboard the International Space Station, an experiment called the Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) is exploring how the universe works .
