A NASA-funded sounding rocket mission will observe the remnants of an exploded star, uncovering new details about the eruption event while testing X-ray detector technologies for future missions.
NASA’s energy-efficient, rapidly responsive, modular approach to supercomputing expands the power of the NASA Advanced Supercomputing facility at Ames and now houses NASA’s Most Powerful Supercomputer, Aitken.
When gazing up at the Moon in the night sky, envision a future where humans can live and work on the lunar surface. Part of that work includes valuable research, as the Moon offers two environments important for science – and to which we do not currently have access down on the ground: The Moon’s... Read More
