You don't need a spacesuit to contribute to human space exploration. NASA's citizen science projects let anyone with internet access help make space travel safer, from tracking solar storms to testing space crops.
NASA scientists transformed a Maryland campground into a space science wonderland, teaching 165 Girl Scouts about the sun, planets, and career possibilities beyond Earth. The three-day event sparked so much interest that waitlisted troops received special visits.
Three scientists have become NASA's first certified Artemis II science officers, bringing lunar geology expertise directly into Mission Control. They'll guide astronauts in real-time observations during humanity's first crewed Moon flyby in over 50 years.
NASA just made it easier for libraries and community centers to teach kids about stars, planets, and space exploration. The free guides now include ready-to-use presentations and activities based on what educators actually asked for.
NASA just brought home a transformed Boeing 777 that will become the largest airborne research laboratory ever built. The plane will carry up to 100 scientists and 75,000 pounds of equipment on 18-hour missions to protect our planet.
College students turned Houston's Ellington Field into an airborne classroom this June, flying on NASA research planes to study Earth's atmosphere. The program puts future scientists in the sky alongside real climate missions.
NASA just released seven free films showing how shadows from eclipses and asteroids help scientists make discoveries about our solar system. The videos, available in English and Spanish, turn complex space science into inspiring stories anyone can understand.
Former NASA engineer Mark Rober is investing $60 million to create a free STEM curriculum that makes science irresistible to kids. The YouTube star with millions of followers is bringing squirrel obstacle courses and elephant toothpaste explosions to classrooms nationwide. ---
NASA is moving up its next space station crew launch to September to squeeze in more research before the ISS retires at the end of the decade. The agency will stick with six-month missions to keep astronauts rotating efficiently through humanity's orbital laboratory.
For the first time in over 50 years, humans are heading back to the Moon. NASA launched 15 science missions, flew two crewed flights, and rolled out the Artemis II spacecraft in just one year.
A private space company is about to send the first commercial lunar rover to the Moon carrying four NASA experiments that could unlock secrets about future moon bases. The mission launches later this year, marking a new era of public-private space exploration.
For the first time in over 50 years, humans are preparing to journey around the Moon. NASA rolled out its massive Artemis II rocket this weekend, capping a year that saw 15 science missions launch and American space exploration surge forward.
Nearly 50 years after launch, NASA turned off one of Voyager 1's science instruments not because it failed, but to extend humanity's farthest messenger a little longer. The spacecraft built for five years has lasted almost ten times that.
A former oceanographer who dreamed of exploring the Moon is now preparing Artemis astronauts to unlock lunar secrets. Cindy Evans' geology training helped the Artemis II crew capture scientific observations that will shape future missions.
NASA's Juno spacecraft just discovered Jupiter's lightning strikes are at least 100 times more powerful than anything on Earth. The finding proves aging space missions still deliver groundbreaking science worth celebrating.
More than 650 everyday people who volunteered for NASA citizen science projects have become published co-authors on peer-reviewed research papers. They discovered comets, tracked auroras, and studied exoplanets from their own backyards.
Educators across coastal Virginia are transforming science classrooms by partnering with NASA to teach students real environmental data collection. High school students even built the weather instruments their younger peers now use for research.
Ten scientists will help astronauts conduct groundbreaking research during humanity's return to the Moon's South Pole. They'll guide everything from rock collection to instrument deployment as we take our next giant leap toward Mars.
A geosciences professor will help plan humanity's return to the Moon after nearly 60 years. Timothy Glotch joins NASA's elite science team shaping what astronauts will study on the lunar surface.
NASA's science director revealed an ambitious plan to launch multiple smaller space missions instead of waiting years for billion-dollar spacecraft. The shift could mean more discoveries across our solar system happening faster than ever before.
