The new solar arrays on @Space_Station, iROSA, are providing power to the station with improved efficiency. ROSA technology will also help power Gateway, and the DART mission!Av NASA Science

The ISS is a one-of-a-kind laboratory, as well as an incubator for new business, accelerating the development of a new space economy in low-Earth orbit.Av NASA Science

Colorful bursts of energy above thunderstorms called transient luminous events can be observed from the ISS. Instruments on the station are helping scientists study these particle outbursts.Av NASA Science

The International Space Station is well known as an orbiting laboratory, but during the past decade the station has also served a very different role - that of being a business incubator. One of its star products is the CubeSat.Av NASA Science

The commercialization of low-Earth orbit is enabling a new market in space, while aiding NASA in its mission of exploration and discovery.Av NASA Science

Earth observing instruments on the space station along with photography from crew members serve to keep a multifunctional eye on our home planet.Av NASA Science

Scientists are using AMS-02 on the Space Station to study fundamental particles originating from sources up to billions of light years away. These particles may hold the key to understanding both the composition and history of our universe.Av NASA Science

The International Space Station provides the only microgravity environment in which we can test technologies critical to our deep-space exploration in the near and far-term future.Av NASA Science

The continuously expanding solar wind begins in our Sun and doesn’t stop until after it reaches the edge of the heliosphere.Av NASA Science

AMS-02 is helping scientists investigate many fundamental physics questions from its place on the space station. Astronauts are conducting a series of spacewalks to perform repairs and extend the life of the observatory.Av NASA Science

The presence of water on the Moon opens up many exciting possibilities for future exploration and just as many questions about that water’s origins.Av NASA Science

Neptune will be at opposition in September, providing an opportunity to observe this planet that is invisible to the naked eye, but that scientists would love to see more clearly.Av NASA Science

"Black Holes" is one of the most highly searched terms about our universe. How much of what we think we know about black holes is actually true?Av NASA Science

Welcome to the world of 3D biomanufacturing, a cutting-edge practice on Earth that is being tested aboard the International Space Station.Av NASA Science

In July 1994, astronomers around the world watched as the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 slammed into the planet Jupiter.Av NASA Science

Scientists are unlocking clues about the earliest formation of our solar system from a Kuiper Belt Object known as 2014 MU69.Av NASA Science

Experiments have taken place aboard the International Space Station to study cement based concrete in microgravity.Av NASA Science

Living 3D versions of human organs called Tissue Chips are being sent to the International Space Station to be studied in microgravity.Av NASA Science

NASA is using sounding rockets to study the cusp, a point where the magnetic bubble that surrounds our planet dips inward and touches down to Earth.Av NASA Science

The relationship between a successful exploration mission and balanced nutrition is vital in the extreme vastness of outer space.Av NASA Science

As NASA prepares to send astronauts and spacecraft long distances through space, scientists are keeping an eye on the weather. Space weather.Av NASA Science

2019 is an excellent year to look to the sky and enjoy the spectacular view of Earth’s nearest neighbor, the Moon.Av NASA Science

Small Worlds hold keys to questions about our solar system and the origin of life on Earth.Av NASA Science
