The report adds to the growing documentation on commercial data's contributions to Earth science research and applications.
On April 17, engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California sent commands to shut down an instrument aboard Voyager 1 called the Low-energy Charged Particles experiment, or LECP. The nuclear-powered spacecraft is running low on power, and…
Join us April 29 at 2:00 p.m. EDT to learn more about CSDA program vendor MDA Space.
On April 14, engineers from Katalyst Space Technologies arrived at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, to begin environmental tests of the company’s LINK robotic servicing spacecraft.
Advanced botany and biology research to sustain crews on future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond wrapped up the week aboard the International Space Station. The Expedition 74 crew also continued unpacking a U.S. cargo craft while keeping up…
After successfully being used to launch the Artemis II lunar test flight on April 1, NASA’s mobile launcher now is inside NASA Kennedy’s Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) in Florida in preparation for the Artemis III test flight mission rocket stacking operations. NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems Program rolled the launcher on a 4-mile trek from Launch Pad 39B to the VAB along…

Scientists are working to understand exactly how these waves behave, and the team behind NASA’s Heliophysics Audified: Resonances in Plasmas (HARP) citizen science project approaches this in a unique way: they compare the Earth’s magnetic field to a giant harp…
NASA’s X-59 experimental aircraft has made its highest and fastest flights so far, expanding its operational range and making progress toward supersonic flight. In a pair of test flights on April 10 and April 14, the aircraft reached new altitudes…
An observation made by NASA’s SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer) shows the chemical signatures of water ice (shown in bright blue) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (orange) in Cygnus X, one of…
