NASA's mission is to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research. To do that, thousands of people have been working around the world and in space for more than 50 years, trying to answer some basic questions. What's out there in space? How do we get there? What will we find? What can we learn there -- or learn just by trying to get there -- that will make life better here on Earth? NASA's work is diverse: proving flight technologies; creating capabilities for sustainable human and robotic exploration; exploring Earth, the solar system and the universe beyond; developing critical enabling technologies such as the space shuttle; and conducting science in orbit aboard the International Space Station. With NASA you can explore the universe and discover Earth.

NASA will host a media teleconference at 1 p.m. EST Feb. 7, 2024, to discuss the agency science and technology flying aboard Intuitive Machines second flight to the Moon as part of the NASA’s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative and Artemis campaign.
Briefing participants include:
• Nicky Fox, Associate Administrator, NASA Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters
• Niki Werkheiser, Director of Technology Maturation, NASA Space Technology Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters
• Trent Martin, Senior Vice President of Space Systems at Intuitive Machines
NASA test pilot Nils Larson shares a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to fly the X-59. In this video, Nils brings you along for a tour of the X-59 simulator, where test pilots work through procedures for flight testing with the help of simulation engineers. The X-59 simulator is located at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, and will help pilots prepare for future flights during the three phases of the Quesst mission.
Want in on the fun? Join the journey by entering code X59SIM into our Flight Log program. After completing this series of videos, you can unlock an exclusive X-59 mission patch! https://www3.nasa.gov/flightlog/
Experts discuss the upcoming launch of NASA’s PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) mission, which is targeted to launch no earlier than Thursday, Feb. 27. The agency’s PUNCH mission is a constellation of four small satellites. When they arrive in low Earth orbit, the satellites will make global, 3D observations of the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, and help NASA learn how the mass and energy there become solar wind. By imaging the Sun’s corona and the solar wind together, scientists hope to better understand the entire inner heliosphere – Sun, solar wind, and Earth – as a single connected system.

Members of NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission share discoveries from the analysis of the asteroid Bennu sample, delivered to Earth on Sept. 24, 2023. The OSIRIS-REx mission collected 4.29 ounces (121.6 grams) of material from the surface of asteroid Bennu on Oct. 20, 2020. This is the most sample collected from anywhere beyond the Moon and the largest asteroid sample ever collected by a spacecraft. The findings presented here provide a glimpse into the beginnings of our solar system.

NASA experts discuss two spacewalks set for Jan. 16 and Jan. 23, 2025. Astronauts will complete upgrades on the International Space Station during each spacewalk.
On Jan. 16, NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Suni Williams will replace a rate gyro assembly that helps provide orientation control for the station, install patches to cover damaged areas of light filters for an X-ray telescope called NICER (Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer), and replace a reflector device used for navigational data on one of the international docking adapters. Additionally, the pair will check access areas and connector tools that will be used for future maintenance work on the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer.
On Jan. 23, astronauts will remove a radio frequency group antenna assembly from the station’s truss, collect samples of surface material for analysis from the Destiny laboratory and the Quest airlock to see whether microorganisms may exist on the exterior of the orbital complex, and prepare a spare elbow joint for the Canadarm2 robotic arm in the event it is needed for a replacement. Astronauts for this spacewalk will be named after the Jan. 16 spacewalk is completed.
The first spacewalk is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. EST (1200 UTC) on Jan. 16, and last about six and a half hours. NASA will provide live coverage beginning at 5:30 a.m. EST (1030 UTC).
The second spacewalk is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. EST (1200 UTC) on Jan. 23, and last about six and a half hours. NASA will provide live coverage beginning at 5:30 a.m. EST (1030 UTC).
