50 Years of Innovation
As NASA fosters technologies crucial for space exploration, the agency’s Technology Transfer program has the sole mission of getting those innovations into the hands of companies, entrepreneurs, and, ultimately, everyday people. The agency’s "Spinoff" publication has captured this endeavor for half a century.
Moonbound
Four astronauts will venture around the Moon on Artemis II, the first crewed mission on NASA's path to establishing a long-term presence at the Moon for science and exploration through Artemis. The 10-day flight will help confirm systems and hardware needed for early human lunar exploration missions.
For All Humanity
With Artemis II on the horizon, four astronauts transition from years of training to mission-ready reality. The latest episode of "Moonbound" explores the physical and mental challenges of preparing for a crewed flight around the Moon, and the teamwork required to test new systems at the edge of exploration.

Webb Zooms into Helix Nebula
A new image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope of a portion of the Helix Nebula highlights comet-like knots, fierce stellar winds, and layers of gas shed off by a dying star interacting with its surrounding environment. Webb’s image also shows the stark transition between the hottest gas to the coolest gas as the shell expands out from the central white dwarf.
