During the #Artemis I mission, NASA’s Orion Spacecraft and NASA's Space Launch System will carry technology demonstrations and solar system science payloads into space.
One of these technology paylooads is NASA Centennial Challenges' Cube Quest Challenge winner Team Miles' CubeSat. This Florida-based group of citizen scientists designed, built, and tested a small satellite that will demonstrate novel communications and propulsion tech from deep space.
Congratulations
to the winners of Phase 2, Level 1 of NASA's Watts on the Moon Challenge! Watch the video of their announcement and check out the challenge page to see what's up next for the teams!
Megan Martinez leads a team of engineers who test rocket engines to ensure that payloads onboard get where they're going in space safely. She loves test days at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center and its historic connection to the Apollo missions.

Meet Michael Alldredge from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility. Michael leads a team that designs stage hardware, like thermal protection systems, for NASA's Space Launch System. From raw components to a spacecraft, Michael is excited to see the concepts go from paper to tangible hardware that is going to fly in space.

NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) is not your typical NASA program. From deep space human exploration to advanced propulsion and robotics, the NIAC program aims to change the possible by supporting early stage space technology research that could radically change the future. To find out more about this exciting NASA program, and to learn how to apply, see https://www.nasa.gov/niac
This video represents research studies within the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program. NIAC is a visionary and far-reaching aerospace program, one that has the potential to create breakthrough technologies for possible future space missions. However, such early stage technology developments may never become actual NASA missions.
Through NASA Artemis missions, we will land the first woman and person of color on the lunar surface, deepen our scientific understanding of the Moon, and test technologies that will prepare for the human exploration of Mars.
This is only the beginning of the next era of space science and exploration. Explore more: www.nasa.gov/artemis
Congratulations to the winners of NASA's CO2 Conversion Challenge!
We just announced the winners of our CO2 Conversion Challenge — A challenge where teams converted carbon dioxide, or CO2, into glucose and other useful sugars. Details: https://go.nasa.gov/3mut1FZ
Coming soon…. a doc film that I worked on for quite some time is soon to be release, so stay tuned and keep a look out!!!
nternational #AsteroidDay may be ending but at NASA we love asteroids each and every day. And we want to know more! Here's a preview of some exciting asteroid science that's on the books.

We Asked a NASA Scientist: Is Mars Habitable?
Is Mars habitable? “Well, definitely maybe.” NASA Mars expert Ell Bogat is here to give us the details on NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover's new home: youtu.be/AKA9FeqX_ns
A new chapter of Mars exploration has officially begun! On Feb. 18, 2021, NASA’s Perseverance rover successfully landed on Mars. What’s next? The rover will prepare to explore its new Martian home, search for signs of ancient life and collect samples to be returned by a future mission.
Watch the NASA Science Live Episode here.
Could Earth-based microbes survive a trip to Mars? Yes! That’s why we made sure our NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover met cleanliness requirements before leaving our home planet. Dr. Moogega Cooper of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory is here to fill us in: youtu.be/uMjXb7T-evE
