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.

Behold: the Cosmic Cliffs of Carina. The Carina Nebula is a stellar nursery: a giant cloud of dust and gas which forms the reddish "peaks" (up to 7 light-years high) in this image. When enough dust and gas is pulled together by gravity, it heats up—and a star is born. This landscape was one of the very first images shared by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope in 2022. With its crisp resolution and infrared vision, Webb is able to look into the heart of nebulae like this one, helping astronomers understand how stars (like our very own Sun) come together.

As NASA examines the use of ionic silver as a disinfectant for astronaut drinking water, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) completed a study on plant tolerance to the substance in irrigation water. On long-duration spaceflight missions, astronauts and space-grown vegetables could get their water from the same source, but there are indications that ionic silver can adversely affect plant metabolism. In a study titled, “Effect(s) of Residual Water System Silver Biocide on Space Crop Microbiome and Nutrient Content,” scientists helped determine whether plants can tolerate high concentrations of ionic silver or if it’s necessary to remove the substance from irrigation water. The team found out that providing a buffer (that normally isn’t found in the hydroponic system which waters plants) with an arcillite substrate really does matter.
