NASA Technology

Our Starling spacecraft have been busy in low Earth orbit! 🛰️ From planning swarm maneuvers to coordinating science observations to navigating with minimal human intervention, the CubeSat team is helping researchers advance autonomous technology for science and exploration. Swarm into the mission: go.nasa.gov/3PinjaF

We want to hear from the startups, investors, industry leaders, and government stakeholders that will power the large-scale satellite networks of the future! Join NASA's Small Business Innovation Research team for a Catalyst event at 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 24, where we'll explore critical capabilities including autonomous operations, inter-satellite networking, and on-orbit decision-making. Register here ⬇️ go.nasa.gov/4sSa6Uj

The Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System (O2O) is preparing for launch! The O2O terminal will demonstrate laser communications during the @NASAArtemis II mission - showcasing the benefits laser communications can have for human spaceflight. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3PzSj5X.

Congratulations to the finalists in the Gateways to Blue Skies Competition! ✈️ This student challenge supports @NASAaero as teams develop concepts to advance aircraft maintenance and repair operations with an emphasis on improving efficiency, safety, and costs. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3N4Xk5Y

Space travel can be tricky – especially when it comes to fuel. ⛽ NASA Glenn engineers are working to support longer @NASAArtemis missions by testing CryoFILL, a technology that would allow us to liquefy oxygen on the Moon or Mars to refuel landers on the surface. Think of it as building the first space “gas station” on the Moon: go.nasa.gov/40nYQ6e

NASA‑sponsored researchers have created new electronics that can survive extreme radiation and temperatures. This breakthrough could enable the next generation of robotic explorers and support sustainable human outposts on the Moon and Mars. 🔗 go.nasa.gov/4liI9Tc

The menu for Artemis II is set, but food for future deep space missions is still in the test kitchen! Want to be part of the space food conversation? We are accepting submissions for the Deep Space Food Challenge: Mars to Table now through July 31! Learn more: go.nasa.gov/marstotable

The milestone round of NASA's LunaRecycle Challenge Phase 2 is complete and the finalist teams have been selected! Check out the teams and learn more about the challenge: go.nasa.gov/4lfhlDo

Join Flight Opportunities today at 1 p.m. ET to hear from the winners of NASA’s TechLeap Prize Universal Payload Interface Challenge as they discuss payload integration solutions for moving technologies into flight testing and between flight vehicles more quickly: go.nasa.gov/4soNYkm

Tune in today at 1pm ET for the Deep Space Food Challenge: Mars to Table webinar! Join and learn more on go.nasa.gov/marstotable

Our nutrient-packed space food is coming back home! Samples from the BioNutrients-3 study will depart the @Space_Station aboard NASA’s SpaceX CRS-33 mission and will soon be analyzed by the science team @NASAAmes. Results from this study will help scientists develop approaches to produce on-demand nutrients needed for astronauts during deep space missions to the Moon and Mars. Learn more:go.nasa.gov/4rLE1NZ

Did you know the tech you use probably every day was created originally at NASA! @NASAJPL developed this “camera-on-a-chip” technology for space missions, and now it enables billions of devices like the cameras in your phone. 🔗 go.nasa.gov/4ry1xOd

It's the final countdown ⏰ The deadline to participate in @NASA's technology prioritization exercise closes this Friday, Feb. 20. We want to hear from industry, academia, and other government agencies to help advance technologies for future science and exploration missions: go.nasa.gov/40h8pUh

NASA technology is good for the heart 🫀 #DYK systems designed to monitor astronaut health in space inspired advancements in heart monitoring tech for medical patients? On #ValentinesDay, and every day, we love how space technologies have improved life on Earth: go.nasa.gov/4qFIBMy

Registration is open for the Deep Space Food Challenge: Mars to Table webinar on Feb. 26! NASA experts and collaborators will discuss the benefits of this food-focused challenge and share info on the expectations, requirements, and evaluation criteria. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4ranzGB
