Dennis Henry is the PACE project photographer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. What is your background and what do you do for PACE? I've been at NASA for about four years, but before that I was a freelance photographer, and a long time before that I wanted to be an aerospace …
Another of the instruments planned for flight aboard NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is ready for installation on the spacecraft.
Since November 2023, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has been sending a steady radio signal to Earth, but the signal does not contain usable data. The source of the issue appears to be with one of three onboard computers, the flight data subsystem (FDS), which is responsible for packaging the science and engineering data before it's sent to Earth by the telemetry modulation unit.
Engineers are working to resolve an issue with one of Voyager 1's three onboard computers, called the flight data system (FDS).
Launched in 1977, NASA's twin Voyager spacecraft are the agency's longest-operating and farthest-flung probes. Voyager 1 visited Jupiter and Saturn, revealing new features of both planets and their moons. Voyager 2 followed its twin to Jupiter and Saturn before changing its trajectory to fly by Uranus and Neptune.

Processing of the large solar arrays built for NASA's Europa Clipper is now underway inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Planned to arrive at Jupiter in April 2030, the spacecraft will study Jupiter's moon Europa, which shows strong evidence beneath its icy crust of a global ocean …
Inia M. Soto Ramos is an associate researcher and one of PACE's data validation leads at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. What is your favorite atmospheric or ocean related book or movie? I will go with "The Silent World" (1953) by Jacques Cousteau and Frédéric Dumas. It's a book but was later …
