As Iceberg A-23A disintegrated, it shed meltwater that helped fuel an extensive phytoplankton bloom in the South Atlantic Ocean.
The Air Traffic Management and Safety (ATMS) project defines, validates, and transfers advanced requirements and technologies to shift air traffic management from tactical to strategic. This change enables efficient, productive, and resilient operations while reducing safety assurance and compliance costs for highly automated systems. ATMS researches…
The Advanced Air Mobility Pathfinders (AAMP) project accelerates advanced air mobility technologies for wildfire response and urban transportation through real-world demonstrations and strategic partnerships. AAMP researches emerging technologies, establishes aircraft strategic deconfliction frameworks, and validates solutions in metropolitan areas to enable larger-scale urban air mobility. The project enhances Unmanned Aircraft Systems capabilities…
The Airspace Operations and Safety Program (AOSP) accelerates the transformation of the National Airspace System (NAS) to meet the variety, density, and complexity of future airspace users. Our mission is to ensure that U.S. skies remain safe, innovative, and globally competitive while enabling Advanced Air Mobility and next-generation aviation technologies. AOSP…
A NASA luminary from the Apollo era grew up in Wales near Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
What We do The High-Speed Flight (HSF) project develops technologies that make high-speed, airbreathing, commercial flight possible from Mach 1 to Mach 5 and above. HSF creates tools, technologies, and knowledge that will help eliminate today’s technical barriers to practical…
NASA’s Advanced Air Vehicles Program (AAVP) studies, evaluates, and develops technologies and capabilities for new aircraft systems and explores far-future concepts for revolutionary air travel improvements. AAVP develops technologies for all flight regimes from hover to hypersonic to enable safe,…
Listen to this audio excerpt from Paul Boehm, Orion crew support and thermal systems functional area manager: As the Artemis II astronauts fly around the Moon, they’ll rely on systems inside the Orion spacecraft to live, work, and keep them safe…
In a first, a space mission led by NASA and France has tracked Earth’s rivers swelling and shrinking from month to month over the course of a year and found significantly less of a swing than previous model-based estimates. A…
Oklahoma’s Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge attracts rare and diverse species—and enthusiasts looking for a distinct type of crystallized gypsum.
