 Featured NASA/JAXA’s XRISM Mission Captures Unmatched Data With Just 36 Pixels3 min readNASA/JAXA’s XRISM Mission Captures Unmatched Data With Just 36 Pixelsarticle3 days ago This coronal mass ejection, captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, erupted on the Sun Aug. 31, 2012, traveling over 900 miles per second and sending radiation deep into space. Earth’s magnetic field shields it from radiation produced by solar events like this one, while Mars lacks that kind of shielding.6 min readNASA Scientists Gear Up for Solar Storms at Marsarticle4 days ago A person stands next to a small jet engine inside a soundproofed room.3 min readNASA Uses Small Engine to Enhance Sustainable Jet Researcharticle4 days ago

Jim Banke Managing Editor/Senior Writer
 For more than a century, NASA and its predecessor organization – the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics– has been the global leader in aviation research. Results achieved by NASA’s aeronautical innovators through the years directly benefits today’s air transportation system, the aviation industry, and the passengers and businesses who rely on those advances in flight every day. As a result, today every U.S. commercial aircraft and U.S. air traffic control tower uses NASA-developed technology to improve efficiency and maintain safety. That’s why we say “NASA is with you when you fly!” Yet there still is so much more to explore, so much more to learn. Scientists, engineers, programmers, test pilots, facilities managers, strategic planners, and people with many other skills – the entire NASA ARMD family – are focused on transforming aviation to make it more sustainable and more accessible than ever before. That vision includes enabling new options for air travel using vehicles propelled by electricity, flying passengers faster than the speed of sound, and by managing air traffic at every altitude with the help of new automated systems that are even safer and more efficient than today. NASA’s aeronautics research is primarily conducted at four NASA centers: Ames Research Center and Armstrong Flight Research Center in California, Glenn Research Center in Ohio, and Langley Research Center in Virginia.  **Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate Organizational Chart**  **ARMD Strategic Implementation Plan**This Strategic Implementation Plan sets forth the NASA ARMD vision for aeronautical research aimed at the next 25 years and beyond. It encompasses a broad range of technologies to meet future needs of the aviation community, the nation, and the world for safe, efficient, flexible, and environmentally sustainable air transportation.  **Technical Excellence**Current and past highlights of NASA’s aeronautical technical accomplishments are summarized in a collection of links to features published on the NASA web site. @NASA @NASAaero @NASA_es
