The NASA X-57 Maxwell is an experimental aircraft being developed by NASA to demonstrate the technologies required to deliver a highly efficient all-electric aircraft. [142] The primary goal of the program is to develop and deliver all-electric technology solutions that can also achieve airworthiness certification with regulators.
A security guard examines the new sign near the entrance to the Lewis Research Center one day after the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was officially established. NASA came into being on October 1, 1958, and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics ( NACA ) Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory became the NASA Lewis ...

NASA Habitable Mobility Platform based on the past Constellation Space Exploration Vehicle. The Pressurized Rover (PR) is a large, pressurized module used to enable crewed operation across large distances and live for multiple days. NASA had developed multiple pressurized rovers including what was formerly called the Space Exploration Vehicle (SEV
A variety of large-scale medical studies are being conducted in space by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI). Prominent among these is the Advanced Diagnostic Ultrasound in Microgravity Study, in which astronauts (including former ISS Commanders Leroy Chiao and Gennady Padalka) perform ultrasound scans under the guidance of remote experts to diagnose and potentially treat ...
The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 (Pub. L. 85–568) is the United States federal statute that created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Act, which followed close on the heels of the Soviet Union 's launch of Sputnik , was drafted by the United States House Select Committee on Astronautics and Space ...
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission is a joint project between NASA and ISRO to co-develop and launch a dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar on an Earth observation satellite in 2025. The satellite will be the first radar imaging satellite to use dual frequencies.
NASA accepted the offer in August 2011 and announced the donation on 4 June 2012. [4] The instruments were constructed between the late 1990s and early 2000s, reportedly for NRO's unsuccessful Future Imagery Architecture program; [ 5 ] in addition to the two completed telescopes, a primary mirror and other parts for a third also exist.
