The Science of NASA's Space Crew-6 Mission
After launching to the International Space Station on March 2, 2023, NASA's Space Crew-6 mission is wrapping up its time in orbit, with a return to Earth in early September 2023.
NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg, UAE
(United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev spent their months on the orbiting lab conducting scientific investigations and technology demonstrations, including running a student robotic challenge, studying plant genetic adaptations to space, and monitoring human health in microgravity to prepare for exploration beyond low Earth orbit and to benefit life on Earth.
The astronauts also released Saskatchewan's first satellite, which tests a new radiation detection and protection system derived from melanin.

NASA'S Future Of Flight
Picture this: It's time to head to school, but instead of getting in a car or on a school bus, you're picked up by a flying vehicle.
This will be an option in the not-too-distant future! In fact, there are many innovative concepts NASA is working on right now that will impact the future of flight.
We're launching STEM Engagement to new heights with learning resources that connect teachers, students, parents and caregivers to the inspiring work at NASA. Join us as we apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics to explore space, improve aeronautics, examine Earth and strive to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon with the Artemis program.

Where Are the Moon Rocks? We Asked a NASA Expert
Where are the Moon rocks from the Apollo missions kept?
When they're not being studied by institutions or enjoyed by museumgoers, NASA has a specialized Lunar Sample Curation Laboratory at NASA's Johnson Space Center to store and keep these otherworldly samples safe. Studying these samples helps us learn more about the origin of not only our moon, but our planet. Deputy Apollo Sample Curator (Sept 2019 - Dec
2022) Dr. Juliane Gross explains more about lunar sample curation.

Do Robots Help Humans in Space We Asked a NASA Technologist
When it comes to space, humans, and robots go way back.
We rely heavily on our mechanical friends to perform tasks that are too dangerous, difficult, or out of reach for us humans. We're even working on a new generation of robots that will help us explore in advanced and novel ways.
