About us
For more than 60 years, NASA has been breaking barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible—from walking on the Moon to pushing the boundaries of human spaceflight farther than ever before. We work in space and around the world in laboratories and wind tunnels, on airfields and in control rooms to explore some of life’s fundamental mysteries: What’s out there in space? How do we get there? And what can we learn that will make life better here on Earth? We are passionate professionals united by a common purpose: to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research. Today, we continue NASA’s legacy of excellence and innovation through an unprecedented array of missions. We are developing the most advanced rockets and spacecraft ever designed, studying the Earth for answers to critical challenges facing our planet, improving the air transportation experience, and so much more. Join us as we reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humanity.

Our Artemis II crew has arrived at Kennedy Space Center! Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen touched down at the Space Coast on Friday, March 27, where they unveiled Rise, the zero-gravity indicator (designed by a member of the public) that will fly aboard their Orion Integrity spacecraft. Keep an eye on our Artemis blog for the latest mission updates: https://lnkd.in/eERCTa7N

How do the Artemis II astronauts dress for space? The Moonbound crew will wear the Orion Crew Survival System spacesuit during the dynamic parts of their mission and during demonstrations. This spacesuit helps protect the astronauts on launch day, in emergency situations, throughout high-risk parts of missions near the Moon, and during the high-speed return to Earth.

In just a few days, we'll be sending humans on a flight around the Moon. Have you watched our documentary series on the mission? Watch Moonbound before Artemis II lifts off: https://lnkd.in/eSyhyhBy

Some future missions to Mars will have payloads hurtling toward the planet's surface at supersonic speeds. To land safely, they'll need parachutes to slow them down. Engineers on the Launch, Ascent, and Vehicle Aerodynamics team at NASA's Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley simulated a supersonic parachute flight test and compared the results with real-world data. This helps them better study how the parachutes will perform. https://lnkd.in/euSF9GSp
