The Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program places the three prime NASA space communications networks, Space Network (SN), Near Earth Network (NEN) (previously known as the Ground Network or GN), and the Deep Space Network (DSN), under one Management and Systems Engineering umbrella. It was established in 2006.
NASA's Long Duration Exposure Facility, or LDEF (pronounced "eldef"), was a cylindrical facility designed to provide long-term experimental data on the outer space environment and its effects on space systems, materials, operations and selected spores' survival.
Mars sample-return Orbiter component of the NASA-ESA Mars Sample Return. It will collect the sample return canister delivered into orbit by the Mars Ascent Vehicle and carry it back to Earth.

The reason given is: It has a problem where the references use the generic NASA site name and chapter name as pagenames, instead of the page name; the page name is not located in the TITLE html parameter, but on the page itself. The references used may be made clearer with a different or consistent style of citation and footnoting.
Stardust was a 385-kilogram robotic space probe launched by NASA on 7 February 1999. Its primary mission was to collect dust samples from the coma of comet Wild 2, as well as samples of cosmic dust, and return them to Earth for analysis.
This set of models is often referred to collectively as SGP4 due to the frequency of use of that model particularly with two-line element sets produced by NORAD and NASA. These models predict the effect of perturbations caused by the Earth’s shape, drag, radiation, and gravitation effects from other bodies such as the sun and moon.
An Explorer mission observes Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way's central black hole, flaring.. The Explorers Program [1] is a NASA exploration program that provides flight opportunities for physics, geophysics, heliophysics, and astrophysics investigations from space.
The following examples show natural language CSTOL commands and the lower-level spacecraft commands they are translated into, for a particular spacecraft. [5] The first two examples show two different CSTOL commands that are translated into the same spacecraft command, indicating that this spacecraft command takes different values as an argument.
