1 day ago · Space mission and science news, images and videos from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the leading center for robotic exploration of the solar system.

NASA’s latest space telescope, SPHEREx, will map the universe like none before it, providing a big-picture view that will illuminate the origins of our universe, galaxies within it, and life’s key ingredients in our own galaxy.

Jan 13, 2025 · The LEAP robots could enable collection of pristine, ocean-derived material directly from Enceladus’ jets and measurement of particle properties across multiple jets by traveling from one to another.

Dec 11, 2024 · NASA's Mars Chopper concept, shown in a design software rendering, is a more capable proposed follow-on to the agency's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, which arrived at the Red Planet in the belly of the Perseverance rover in February 2021.

Jun 13, 2024 · Stellar Jets This image of the WL 20 star group combines data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and the Mid-Infrared Instrument on NASA’s Webb telescope. Gas jets emanating from the poles of twin stars appear blue and green; disks of dust and gas surrounding the stars are pink.

Dec 15, 2008 · The most prominent jets of vapor and icy particles emerging from the south polar terrain of Saturn's moon Enceladus are shown here in graphical form in a movie clip of a 'rotating' Enceladus. Video created based on images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

Feb 12, 2025 · As NASA continues advancing technology and research in low Earth orbit to establish a sustained presence at the Moon, upcoming lunar missions are already spinning off technologies on Earth.

Launching from NASA's Long Duration Balloon Camp near McMurdo Station in Antarctica, ASTHROS will aim to fly for 21 to 28 days an altitude of about 130,000 feet (24.6 miles or 40 kilometers) - high enough to observe wavelengths of light blocked by Earth's atmosphere.

Oct 3, 2022 · The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is the lead U.S. center for robotic exploration of the solar system, and conducts major programs in space-based Earth sciences and astronomy. JPL spacecraft have visited all of the planets from Mercury to Neptune.
