About us
For more than 60 years, NASA has been breaking barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible—from walking on the Moon to pushing the boundaries of human spaceflight farther than ever before. We work in space and around the world in laboratories and wind tunnels, on airfields and in control rooms to explore some of life’s fundamental mysteries: What’s out there in space? How do we get there? And what can we learn that will make life better here on Earth? We are passionate professionals united by a common purpose: to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research. Today, we continue NASA’s legacy of excellence and innovation through an unprecedented array of missions. We are developing the most advanced rockets and spacecraft ever designed, studying the Earth for answers to critical challenges facing our planet, improving the air transportation experience, and so much more. Join us as we reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humanity.

“You know, whatever it is that you want to go do, give it a shot. You know, why not you? Somebody’s got to do it. Why not you?” Nils Larson, lead research pilot at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, talks about lessons learned – from life and from flying the X-59, NASA’s experimental quiet supersonic plane. https://lnkd.in/etZCxMzi

While launch opportunities for our Artemis II mission around the Moon open Feb. 6, a decision will not be made on the first date to attempt launch until system checks are complete. As our teams evaluate the rocket, spacecraft, ground systems, and crew, we will gain the information necessary to formalize a date in the available windows February through April. Launch opportunities also depend on orbital mechanics; the Moon needs to be in just the right position for the planned trajectory of our mission.
