NASA Science
From soft landing back on the Moon a few months ago, to celebrating the Heliophysics Big Year and a Total Solar Eclipse in the contiguous United States, to receiving stunning imagery from James Webb, NASA Science is as busy as ever. Recently launched earth science missions are also providing us unprecedented views of our planet and incredible insight into the health of our oceans and atmosphere, and helping decision-makers improve lives on Earth and safeguard our future. And we are charting a new, sustainable path for Mars Sample Return. Looking ahead, we have many exciting launches on the horizon. At NASA, we are fortunate that our science and exploration endeavors are inextricably linked and help us discover and innovate for the benefit of humanity. Together, we explore to advance scientific understanding. Ultimately, exploration enables science, and science enables exploration. The NASA Science team is continuing to deliver for the benefit of all.Read Nicky NotesDr. Nicola (Nicky) Fox, the Associate Administrator (AA) for the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) for NASA, visited the University of Delaware to discuss the scientific missions being undertaken by the SMD and to visit with various groups on campus.

Past Missions

Missions and instruments built or managed by JPL for NASA have visited every planet in our solar system as well as the Sun. While some provide key science data about our home planet, others have peered into the universe to locate planets around other stars.
Starting with the launch of Explorer 1 in 1958, JPL has played a key role in developing more than 100 missions and science instruments designed to provide humanity deep insights into our Earth, our solar system, and what lies beyond. Pioneering JPL missions such as Mariner, Surveyor, Galileo, Cassini, and Mars Pathfinder have transformed how we explore space and what we know about the worlds within our solar system.

Future Missions

Missions and instruments built or managed by JPL for NASA have visited every planet in our solar system as well as the Sun. While some provide key science data about our home planet, others have peered into the universe to locate planets around other stars.
From its earliest days with NASA, JPL has always focused on the leading edge of space exploration. Missions and science instruments being developed right now at JPL will offer unprecedented insights into potentially hazardous near-Earth objects, the complexities leading to natural disasters on Earth, and searching for habitable conditions in the subsurface ocean of Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. JPL is also helping to lead the effort to bring rock samples from Mars to Earth for closer study.
