"My personal giant leap has been the opportunity to contribute to a mission as groundbreaking as the Roman Space Telescope." Dr. Lucas Paganini is the deputy program executive for our Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which aims to unravel the mystery of dark matter when it launches later this decade. Learn more about how Roman builds on the legacy of telescopes like Hubble and Webb on this week's episode of our Small Steps, Giant Leaps podcast: https://lnkd.in/ec-5sc7r

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.

Last fall, NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center concluded a project that investigated a 3D-printing (or additive manufacturing) technique that could build lunar infrastructure from aluminum potentially extracted from dust and rocks on the Moon. This technique, known as cold metal transfer wire-arc additive manufacturing, could enable large-scale additive manufacturing and minimize potential hazards associated with powder-based 3D printing processes. Though this technology is still in development, it could allow for more affordable ways to manufacture, repair, and reuse surface infrastructure on the Moon. Learn more about the project, key partners, and NASA centers on our TechPort database. https://lnkd.in/e942j5vC
