Each summer, more than half a million aviation enthusiasts and experts from around the planet descend into a regional airport near Oshkosh, Wisconsin to attend the world’s largest airshow and fly-in – including NASA’s aeronautical innovators. Full report from NASA: Read More

NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative allows rapid acquisition of lunar delivery services from American companies for payloads that advance capabilities for science, exploration or commercial development of the Moon. Full report from NASA: Read More

Small drones delivering packages, air taxis carrying passengers, or air ambulance providing lifesaving transportation – these are just some of the concepts NASA’s Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) mission is helping get into our skies. For these aircraft to safely operate, cities, suburbs, and rural areas will need new or enhanced infrastructure. Full report from NASA:…

A small CubeSat carrying laser communications technology is readying for launch. The first of two sequential demonstrations in NASA’s CubeSat Infrared CrosslinK (CLICK) series, CLICK A aims to demonstrate low-cost, one-way optical communications via a downlink to a ground station using commercially available components and one three-unit CubeSat.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is preparing to deliver fantastic new images of faraway worlds and galaxies, but it’ll also give us an unprecedented look at a tiny component of our universe: space dust. One category of dust could shed new light on some big processes, like the way stars and galaxies form and evolve.…

This spring, NASA researchers tested their technology to help drones make wildland firefighting safer. Two events – one involving intentional fires, the other simulated blazes – let real fire response teams try the tools in the field. Full report from NASA: Read More

A group of university students and mentors flew aboard NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center’s DC-8 aircraft to study air quality as part of NASA’s Student Airborne Research Program (SARP). Full report from NASA: Read More

When the public thinks about the addition of drones, air taxis, or new cargo delivery aircraft, noise is a common concern. Will these aircraft buzz over housing areas? Add to noise pollution? NASA is working to help make sure when these innovative new aircraft join the airspace, they are quiet. Full report from NASA: Read…
