National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA explores the unknown in air and space, innovates for the benefit of humanity, and inspires the world through discovery. About NASA's Mission; Join Us
NASA Science missions circle the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, Mars, and many other destinations within our Solar System, including spacecraft that look out even further into our universe. The Science Fleet depicts the scope of NASA’s activity and how our missions have permeated throughout the solar system.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA explores the unknown in air and space, innovates for the benefit of humanity, and inspires the world through discovery. About NASA's Mission
A spacecraft mission to help us understand worlds at the edge of our solar system by studying Pluto and the mysterious Kupier belt. MAP-X. Imaging technology for Future Lunar and Mars Exploration Missions. Life Detection. Microfluidics technology development for Future missions to Icy Bodies like Titan and Enceladus. EXCEDE
Technology drives exploration and the space economy. Technology demonstrations enable NASA to mature the cutting-edge, laboratory-proven technologies and new capabilities that will transform future science and space exploration goals.
Both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have reached interstellar space and each continue their unique journey deeper into the cosmos.
Being able to identify microbes in space in real time – without having to send them back to Earth for identification – is revolutionary for the world of microbiology and space exploration. The Genes in Space-3 team proved this can be done when they completed the first-ever sample-to-sequence process entirely aboard the space station in 2017.
The probe is now in interstellar space, the region outside the heliopause, or the bubble of energetic particles and magnetic fields from the Sun. Voyager 1 was launched after Voyager 2, but because of a faster route it exited the asteroid belt earlier than its twin, and it overtook Voyager 2 on Dec. 15, 1977.
Comparing data from different instruments aboard the trailblazing spacecraft, mission scientists determined the probe crossed the outer edge of the heliosphere on Nov. 5. This boundary, called the heliopause, is where the tenuous, hot solar wind meets the cold, dense interstellar medium.
NASA’s Mars Exploration Program will focus the next two decades on its science-driven systemic approach on these strategic goals: exploring for potential life, understanding the geology and climate of Mars, and preparation for human exploration.
