NASA Names Troy Asher Armstrong Flight Research Center Director
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has named Troy Asher director of the agency’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. Asher, a veteran test pilot and aerospace engineer with decades of experience in flight research and operations, has served as the center’s acting director since March. “Troy has spent his career pushing the boundaries of flight, […]
NIH–NASA QuSAFE Challenge
The Quantum-Enabled Predictive Preclinical NAMs for Toxicity and Safety (QuSAFE) Challenge, a collaboration between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and NASA, advances quantum-enabled sensing for in vitro NAMs, such as organoids and microphysiological systems (MPS), to improve drug safety while reducing animal use. In vitro NAMs, such as organoids and microphysiological systems (MPS), can […]

Send Your Name to Titan Aboard NASA’s Dragonfly Mission
You may never soar under the clouds or over the organic sands of Saturn’s moon Titan, but your name can. NASA is inviting the public to send their names aboard the agency’s Dragonfly rotorcraft and be part of the first science mission to fly and explore the surface of another world. To have your […]
NASA’s ISAM State of Play: The Industry Standard for Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing
When companies began approaching NASA’s Langley Research Center, asking to be included in the In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) State of Play for access to competitive intelligence, the team knew they had crossed an inflection point. “We’ve had some unnamed companies ask if we have any proprietary information,” says Dale Arney, senior team lead […]
Advice for optimizing the space industry with Laura Crabtree
In this episode, Mike Gruss speaks with Laura Crabtree, the CEO of Epsilon3, who is also a former SpaceX astronaut trainer. They talk about ways that space companies can organize […]
NASA’s Hubble Marks Way for Roman Space Telescope
A sweeping barred galaxy takes center stage in this Oct. 22, 2026, image, but the gravitational lensing at bottom right is the real target. This observation is one of many gravitational lensing images taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope in preparation for science with the new Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Astronomers will use these […]
Ghostly Cat’s Head Nebula Lurks Within Sight of NASA’s Hubble, Webb
Like a spectral form rising out of a cold mist, NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes have captured a hauntingly dynamic star-forming scene. It lies within the vast Carina Nebula, a diffuse star-forming region located about 7,500 light-years away from Earth. The small, select area both telescopes observed is nicknamed the Cat’s Head Nebula […]
Ghostly Cat’s Head Nebula lurks within sight of Hubble and Webb
The NASA/ESA Hubble and the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescopes recently stared at an eerie star-forming scene within the Carina Nebula, a massive gas and dust cloud located approximately 7500 light-years away from Earth. The two telescopes offer complementary views of the shadowy form, nicknamed the Cat’s Head Nebula, which reflects the 'magical'' process of star formation. Hubble’s visible-light view shows the cat as a dark, elongated dust pillar and hints of young forming stars, while Webb’s infrared-light imagery unveils many stars and other hidden details.
Contractor to Civil Servant: NASA Welcomes Jared Spiers
Jared Spiers had an interest in contributing to NASA’s mission long before becoming a civil servant for the agency. Growing up close to NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, and hearing about his father’s work there, he gained a firsthand connection to the nation’s space program. Before graduating high school, he knew […]
Exploring the Moon
The Moon being so visible has always inspired explorers, scientists and dreamers. Today, it is a destination for discovery, innovation, international cooperation and developing the knowledge and technologies needed to live and work beyond Earth. Across science, robotics, infrastructure and human spaceflight, ESA is helping to shape that future, ensuring that Europe plays a leading role in humankind’s next great adventure.
