Technicians with the lead contractor for Orion, Lockheed Martin, adhered the NASA insignia, known as the meatball, and an American Flag to the back shell of ...the spacecraft’s crew module for Artemis I. Final assemblies are well underway for Orion as teams progress toward next year’s launch. The spacecraft will soon be fueled and fitted with the launch abort system and other ground system elements in preparation to take its place atop the powerful Space Launch System rocket. See more

Ring! Ring! "MEDLI2 speaking." Sensors on NASA's Mars 2020 spacecraft recently answered a long-distance call from Earth. During the MEDLI2 cruise checkout, ...the team at NASA Langley received data back from the spacecraft for the first time since the rover launched on its journey to Mars in July. MEDLI2 is a collection of sensors that will measure aerothermal environments and thermal protection system material performance during the atmospheric entry phase of the Mars 2020 mission.

This summer JPL employees and interns had the opportunity to participate in our Employee Resource Group mentorship program. We asked mentors and their mentees t...o send us some fun photos and to tell us what they learned during the program. Meet Farah, mentor and Julia, her mentee. Here's what they had to say. "My mentor is from the Advisory Council for Women ERG. From Farah, I have learned about career paths inside of JPL and graduate school’s effect on those possible career paths. She has helped me realize my long term goal of pursuing a PhD in guidance, navigation, and control engineering and has worked to identify the short term steps I can take to achieve this goal. She has been an amazing friend and mentor throughout my virtual internship process." - Julia The program gave me a little bit of a sense of normal. Every summer I look forward to meeting the new interns, and through this program I got to know you even though we’re not even in the same state! It’s a refreshing change from the usual days of endless WebEx meetings. - Farah : Provided by Farah (left) and Julia (right) #LifeatJPL #JPLInterns #Mentorship #EmployeeResourceGroup #AdvisoryCouncilforWomen #ACWatJPL

This low-angle self-portrait of Curiosity shows the rover at the site from which it reached down to drill into a rock target called "Buckskin" on lower Mount Sh...arp. The full selfie combines 92 component images taken by Curiosity's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on Aug. 5, 2015, during the 1,065th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars. For scale, the rover's wheels are 20 inches (50 centimeters) in diameter and about 16 inches (40 centimeters) wide. This view is a portion of a larger panorama available on links below The MAHLI is mounted at the end of the rover's 2-meter long robotic arm. For this self-portrait, the rover team positioned the camera lower in relation to the rover body than for any previous full self-portrait of Curiosity. The selfie at Buckskin does not include the rover's robotic arm beyond a portion of the upper arm held nearly vertical from the shoulder joint. With the wrist motions and turret rotations used in pointing the camera for the component images, the arm was positioned out of the shot in the frames or portions of frames used in this mosaic.

There's rough terrain then there are the craters and near-vertical cliffs on the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The DuAxel is a robot built for situations just like ...those. By creating two single-axle rovers that can combine into one with a central payload we could maximize versatility during future missions. See more details: go.nasa.gov/34QNo5T See more

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will study the solar system and beyond! From a vantage point a million miles from Earth, it will view the planets, comets, asteroids, and more, from Mars outward. And recent successful tests mean it's a big step closer to launch. More: go.nasa.gov/30GNVGi

Join NASA Earth research scientist Ben Hamlington as he answers your questions about the work he is doing for the Sentinel-6 mission. He’s seen the impacts of r...ising sea levels along our beaches and believes satellite observations can be used to help coastal communities that are at risk. The satellite, which will add to our decades-long dataset on our planet’s changing climate, is targeted to launch Nov. 10 from Vandenberg Air Force Base.

Did you know Perseverance has a twin on Earth, OPTIMISM, that helps engineers test hardware and software before commands get sent to the rover?
