- NASA Science Live is back and we’re LIVE from the Moon to Mars Ice & Prospecting Challenge. Ten teams from across the country have been tasked with one goal: to extract ice beneath a simulated lunar or Martian surface. As we look forward to NASA’s Artemis program to the Moon and even one-day crewed missions to Mars, ideas from challenges like this will be essential in creating technology to access resources like water for humans to survive on other worlds. Join us on Sept 24th at 3:00 p.m. to hear from NASA experts and the teams.

- Is there oxygen on Mars? Technically yes, but it’s nothing like the amount we have on Earth. So breathing is out of the question. However, there IS a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2) on Mars. Now a new technology — MOXIE — has proven that we can convert Martian CO2 into oxygen for use by future explorers. NASA engineer Asad Aboobaker tells us more.

- NASA’s future will continue to be a story of human exploration, science, engineering and technology. Working together, we define the future, achieve the impossible and discover the unknown.
With our Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. We will collaborate with commercial and international partners and establish the first long-term presence on the Moon. Then, we will use what we learn on and around the Moon to take the next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars.
We will continue to nurture the development of a vibrant low-Earth orbit economy that builds on the work done to date by the International Space Station. Commercial companies will play an increasing role in the space industry: launching rockets and satellites, transporting cargo and crew, building infrastructure in low-Earth orbit.

His flight on Friendship 7 on Feb. 20, 1962, showed the world that America was a serious contender in the space race with the Soviet Union. It also made Glenn an instant hero as the first American to orbit Earth.
After retiring from NASA in 1965, Glenn took an active part in Ohio politics and environmental protection efforts. He won his Senate seat in 1974, carrying all 88 counties of Ohio. He was re-elected in 1980 with the largest margin in Ohio history.
Ohio returned him to the Senate for a third term in 1986, again with a substantial majority. In 1992 he was elected again, becoming the first popularly elected senator from his state to win four consecutive terms.

- On June 7, 2021, NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew closer to Jupiter’s ice-encrusted moon Ganymede than any spacecraft in more than two decades. Less than a day later, Juno made its 34th flyby of Jupiter. This animation provides a “starship captain” point of view of each flyby. For both worlds, JunoCam images were orthographically projected onto a digital sphere and used to create the flyby animation. Synthetic frames were added to provide views of approach and departure for both Ganymede and Jupiter.

- NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy visited the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA. Melroy met with Travis Thompson, former Closeout Crew Lead who served for nearly 100 missions, as they view Thompson's uniform at its exhibit on July 9, 2021. Commander Melroy presented Thompson with a plaque for the occasion and surprised him by showing him she had kept the gift he gave to her many years ago. It was an emotional moment that celebrated not just the heroes who venture out into space, but also those who make sure they come home safely.
In 1983, Travis Thompson joined the United Space Alliance as the Closeout Crew Lead and served in that role for almost 100 missions. His first assignment supported the crew of Challenger’s STS-8 mission, and later became the Closeout Crew Chief for the last ten years of Shuttle missions. His service included final checks of the astronauts’ launch entry suits before boarding, assisting c...

- Ten years ago, Atlantis rose from the launch pad on a plume of fire and parted the high clouds on its way to the International Space Station and to its place in history. The 11:29 a.m. EDT liftoff on July 8, 2011, marked the last time a space shuttle would climb from Kennedy's seaside launch complex to soar toward the heavens.
The crew of four veteran astronauts aboard Atlantis -- Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim -- set off on the STS-135 mission to deliver a stockpile of supplies and parts to the space station.
