In its innovation of unique technologies for use in space, NASA has developed and licensed a myriad of treatments and products, especially for those with injuries and disabilities. Examples include an “anti-gravity" treadmill used by…

Launching Oct. 13 with the Psyche mission, NASA’s pioneering Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) will be the first demonstration of laser, or optical, communications from as far away as Mars. DSOC will be used to test key technologies…

Battery safety and performance have been the barriers to electrifying aviation so far. However, new battery technology under development by NASA may just break through those barriers. Electrifying flight will mean eliminating CO2 emissions…

"The Jetsons" flying cars are becoming closer to reality based on NASA-proven propulsion system technology. Applied eVTOL Concepts introduced plans for the Epiphany Transporter, a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicle capable of a…

NASA lost contact with Voyager 2 on July 21st after flight commanders sent an order that tilted the probe's antenna away from Earth, making it impossible to send and receive commands and data. Mission control tilted the antenna a mere 2%.…

As humanity looks beyond Earth for future settlements, the moon, and Mars have emerged as potential destinations. However, establishing livable habitats on these celestial bodies poses significant challenges, particularly in regulating…

What happens to NASA satellites after their useful life is complete? One NASA satellite that saw solar flares and helped scientists understand the sun’s powerful bursts of energy fell to Earth this week, approximately 21 years after launch.…

A NASA instrument designed to provide unprecedented resolution in monitoring major air pollutants (down to four square miles) was launched on April 7. The Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) instrument will help improve…

NASA has always been instrumental in creating new technology to advance its exploration goals. To support its effort, the agency announced that it will create two new institutes to develop technology in critical engineering and climate…

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are leading a new effort to land a radio telescope on the Moon. If successful, the project will mark the first step towards exploring the Dark Ages of the…
