As NASA fosters technologies needed to live and work farther away from home than ever before, the agency’s Technology Transfer program.

NASA engineers have completed first cold-flow tests of a full-scale nuclear thermal propulsion reactor, validating designs for future deep-space missions.

In late 2025, scientists reported that for the first time, they were able to detect concentrations of plastic pollution on land using NASA's Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) sensor aboard the International Space Station.

Cold-flow tests at NASA Marshall demonstrated the stability of a nuclear propulsion design aimed at reducing travel times to the moon and Mars.

NASA has taken another step in expanding commercial spaceflight, confirming a fifth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station in partnership with Axiom Space. The mission, known as Axiom Mission 5,

Nuclear propulsion and power technologies could unlock new frontiers in missions to the moon, Mars, and beyond. NASA has reached an important milestone advancing nuclear propulsion that could benefit future deep space missions by completing a cold-flow test campaign of the first flight reactor engineering development unit since the 1960s.

NASA lunar mission technologies are enabling housing construction methods and robotic systems on Earth through technology transfer, 3D printing processes, and autonomous robotics.

The NASA Hubble Space Telescope, which is hundreds of miles above the Earth, has been taking incredible pictures that help with future studies and research. But to learn more about the telescope. Here are five interesting facts about the technology,

A team of NASA researchers successfully performed a high-speed taxi test that could help
