The European Service Module will provide integral power, thermal control, propulsion, and life support commodities for Orion and the astronauts inside.

Providing Integral Power

Night Vision Goggles work by amplifying natural light to highlight features, such as buildings or terrain, in the outside environment.

Seeing Clearly

NASA has captured the first ever images of the interactions of shockwaves between two aircraft flying faster than the speed of sound.

Supersonic Images

NASA sent some special cargo to Mars on the Mars 2020 mission.

Innovation Now is a daily 90-second radio series and podcast that gives listeners a front row seat to hear compelling stories of revolutionary ideas, emerging technologies and the people behind the concepts that are shaping our future.

Nice 90 second science summaries, but further follow-up of the technology ought to be provided, with links to other sites or addresses of scientists involved in development.

Tech Tidbits ought to have follow-up links

The podcast is limited to 90 seconds, so you cant really expect too much info. This item is very interesting for people my age, but would even be more useful if they had some sort of a way get people who have been &#34;hooked&#34; by the story connected to more information.  I had a CIMT last year and think it is really a great, cheap way to get ahead of coronary disease.

Innovation Now

New inspection technologies such as flash thermography and advanced ultrasonics could supplement visual inspections, supporting the FAA’s ultimate goal of ensuring traveler safety.

Airplane Dents

Stratospheric ozone reduces the amount of harmful Ultraviolet radiation reaching Earth’s surface.

Stratospheric Ozone

Just as weather on Earth brings thunderstorms and gusty winds, the ever-changing sun sometimes hurls massive clouds of solar materials into space that affect life here on Earth.

Building Prediction Models

This small spacecraft the size of a mini-refrigerator is packed with cutting-edge green technology.

NASA Is Going Green

Music is as much a part of human nature as the drive to explore, so it’s no wonder music plays a role in space history.

Moon Tunes

NASA is world famous for the development of space-tailored polymers, but like all materials sent to space, they must be tested before they can be used.

Testing Materials in Space

Several companies joined NASA to support university teams as they tried to extract water from a simulated lunar surface.

A Spirit of Cooperation

Astronauts on the International Space Station conduct a variety of scientific research, but how do they get the results of those experiments back to Earth?

Scientific Splashdown

A worldwide audience watched and listened when American Astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the Moon.

Moon Landing Stamps

Artemis was the twin sister of Apollo and goddess of the Moon in Greek mythology.  Now Artemis is the name of NASA’s program to return astronauts to the lunar surface by 2024.

Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory are building the Mars 2020 rover and the high def cameras the rover will use as eyes are its latest additions.

Eyes for Mars

It’s Pac Man in space as scientists observe what may be a star gobbling up planetary debris.

Devouring a Planet

Astronaut Christina Koch returned home after spending 328 days aboard the International Space Station.  Now Koch will need to readjust to life on Earth.

Returning Home

The Viking project, managed by teams at NASA Langley, gave us our first high resolution images of Mars.

When the Dust Settled

Astronauts are helping NASA understand much more than just how to meet physical needs as they prepare for long duration missions.

Stepping Stones to Deep Space

The Mars Helicopter is what’s called a technology demonstrator.  Its sole goal is to show we can actually do this mission.

The Mars Helicopter

This robotic sniffer has become a valuable asset on the International Space Station.

Leak Locator

Never before has a spacecraft from Earth circled so close to such a small space object.

Navigating OSIRIS REx

NASA successfully demonstrated that the Orion spacecraft’s launch abort system can outrun a speeding rocket while pulling astronauts to safety.
