NASA just teamed up with 37 American companies to develop 41 cutting-edge space technologies that will help humans live on the Moon and explore Mars. The best part? It's a no-money partnership where companies get access to NASA's world-class facilities and experts while contributing their own innovation.
NASA is challenging innovators to design small satellites that can adapt in real time to help farmers and forests thrive. The $400,000 competition seeks to transform space technology into a tool for healing our land.
Four astronauts heading around the Moon in NASA's Artemis II mission will stay connected through two powerful communication networks spanning Earth and deep space. The technology ensures crews can talk to mission control, share images and video, and make calls home from thousands of miles away.
A tiny NASA spacecraft just sent back its first images from space, marking the start of a mission to discover which distant planets might support life. The breakthrough combines smartphone camera technology with quantum physics to study the most common stars in our galaxy.
Five liberal arts students just showed NASA how space-age health monitoring technology could save lives in mines, firehouses, and emergency rooms. Their four-month journey proves you don't need an engineering degree to launch the next big innovation in health care.
A space capsule just blazed through Earth's atmosphere protected by cutting-edge NASA technology now manufactured by a private company for the first time. This breakthrough opens the door for more life-saving medicines and scientific discoveries to safely return from space.
A NASA sensor flying over California's Mojave Desert just spotted something geologists have been searching for: clues to a massive underground copper deposit. The discovery shows how space technology is helping locate critical minerals right here on Earth.
NASA just launched a new partnership with the Small Business Administration to help small companies building critical space technology access millions in private investment. The goal is to strengthen America's space supply chain and keep lunar missions on track.
NASA is launching a satellite this summer to test how to store and transfer super-chilled rocket fuel in space, a breakthrough technology that could unlock missions to the Moon and Mars. The LOXSAT mission will demonstrate 11 different systems for managing cryogenic fuels in orbit, paving the way for refueling stations beyond Earth.
NASA is launching a groundbreaking experiment this July to test technology that could create refueling stations in space. These orbital gas stations would revolutionize deep space travel by letting spacecraft refuel on their way to Mars and beyond.
For half a century, NASA's innovations designed for the Moon and Mars have been quietly transforming everyday life on Earth. The agency just released its 50th Spinoff edition, celebrating technologies that now save lives, build homes, and improve everything from your mattress to your smartphone.
NASA just unveiled a revolutionary computer chip that's 100 times more powerful than today's space processors, opening the door for faster Mars rovers and smarter spacecraft. The technology could also transform everything from medical equipment to energy grids here on Earth.
NASA is sending a suite of groundbreaking technologies to space this Monday that could revolutionize everything from space weather forecasting to Wi-Fi in orbit. The launch showcases how small satellites are making big discoveries more affordable than ever.
A Seattle company just won a NASA contract to develop technology that extracts fuel and oxygen from lunar soil. This breakthrough could help astronauts live on the Moon without constant resupply missions from Earth.
A new company just joined the race to send private astronauts to space, marking a major milestone in making orbit more accessible. NASA selected Voyager Technologies for its seventh private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, launching no earlier than 2028.
A space capsule streaked safely back to Earth last week using groundbreaking NASA heat shield technology that's now helping private companies bring valuable cargo home. The advanced material makes space returns stronger, cheaper, and more reliable.
A NASA sensor flying over the Mojave Desert spotted a hidden topaz deposit that could lead to a major copper discovery. The find shows how space technology is helping locate critical minerals hiding in plain sight across America.
NASA just greenlit two satellite missions that will help predict extreme weather and track environmental changes before they become disasters. The technology could protect billions of people living in coastal areas and improve our understanding of Earth's most vulnerable ecosystems.
A groundbreaking space rescue mission is underway as NASA prepares to launch a robotic spacecraft that will boost a decaying satellite back into orbit, saving 20 years of scientific work. The four-vehicle operation marks a new era in extending the life of valuable space technology.
NASA just opened a competition that could put your robotics project in space by 2028. Three winning teams will each get up to $500,000 and a free ride to orbit to test their technology on a real space platform.
