Amy Shira Teitel. It's Been 50 Years since Gemini 6 Saw a UFO.



Observing the 2015 Christmastime Full Moon.


This year is a rare Christmastime full moon. When you look up at the moon, remember that NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has been orbiting our moon since its launch in 2009. It's sending back high-resolution images of the moon's surface, maps of the moon's gravity, and so much more.

Take in the view from the International Space Station.


For 15 years, humans have been living continuously aboard the ISS to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies, making research breakthroughs not possible on Earth that also will enable long-duration human and robotic exploration into deep space. A truly global endeavor, more than 200 people from 15 countries have visited the unique microgravity laboratory that has hosted more than 1,700 research investigations from researchers in more than 83 countries.

Ceres Rotation and Occator Crater.


Dwarf planet Ceres is shown in these false-color renderings, which highlight differences in surface materials. Images from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft were used to create a movie of Ceres rotating, followed by a flyover view of Occator Crater, home of Ceres’ brightest area.

Job Well Done Aboard The Space Station.


Prior to climbing aboard the Soyuz spacecraft that would take them back to Earth on Dec. 11, to conclude their successful mission aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 45 Commander Oleg Kononenko of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and Flight Engineers Kjell Lindgren of NASA and Kimiya Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, bid farewell to the crew remaining on the orbital outpost, including NASA’s Scott Kelly.

Space Station Crew Members Head Back to Earth.


The Soyuz spacecraft carrying Expedition 45 crew members Oleg Kononenko of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and Flight Engineers Kjell Lindgren of NASA and Kimiya Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, departed the International Space Station on Dec. 11 for the return trip to Earth. The returning crew was scheduled to land hours later in Kazakhstan to wrap up 141 days in space.

Preparing America for Deep Space Exploration Episode 11: Committed to Exploration.



Engineers around the country are making progress developing NASA’s Space Launch System, Orion spacecraft and the ground systems at Kennedy Space Center in Florida needed to send astronauts on missions to deep space destinations. Between July and September, progress continued as pieces of Orion’s crew module and the SLS core stage tanks were welded together at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, modifications were made to the mobile launcher at Kennedy, astronauts tested techniques for exiting Orion after a mission, and an RS-25 engine was tested at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.

InSight. Journey to the Center of Mars


The InSight mission, the twelfth in NASA's Discovery Program, is slated to launch in March of 2016, landing six months later on Mars' Elysium Planitia. Unlike previous missions to Mars, which have focused on surface features and chemistry, InSight aims to explore the interior of the planet down to its very core using seismology, precision tracking, and heat flow measurements.

Got a package from NASAs Project Morpheus today. Awesome !! Thankyou !!



NASA's Morpheus Project has developed and tested a prototype planetary lander capable of vertical takeoff and landing. Designed to serve as a vertical testbed (VTB) for advanced spacecraft technologies, the vehicle provides a platform for bringing technologies from the laboratory into an integrated flight system at relatively low cost. This allows individual technologies to mature into capabilities that can be incorporated into human exploration missions. NASA's strategic goal of extending human presence across the solar system requires an integrated architecture. Such architecture would include advanced, robust space vehicles for a variety of lunar, asteroid, and planetary missions; automated hazard detection and avoidance technologies to reduce risks to crews, landers, and precursor robotic payloads; and in situ resource utilization to support crews during extended stays on extraterrestrial surfaces and to provide for their safe return to Earth. NASA’s Advanced Exploration Systems (AES) portfolio includes several fast-paced projects that are developing these necessary capabilities. Specifically, the Morpheus project and the Autonomous Landing and Hazard Avoidance Technology (ALHAT) project provide technological foundations for key components of the greater exploration architecture necessary to move humans beyond low Earth orbit.
