Future missions will be designed to optimize uniquely human capabilities: creativity, ingenuity, intuition, learning, problem-solving, flexibility and determination. Human factors' role is to extend human capability with hardware and software; to create environments that maintain mental, emotional and ...
"I think a lot of people miss the fact that the moon represents an amazing proving ground for all of the technologies and the human-performance capabilities that are necessary to survive on another planet and the ability to develop in-situ utilization abilities," Bridenstine said. "The moon re...
resources such as water that can be converted into other usable resources, including oxygen and fuel. By fine-tuning precision landing technologies as well as developing new mobility capabilities, astronauts will travel farther distances and explore new regions of the Moon. ...

NASA leads in incorporating advanced robotics and autonomous systems into space missions. These technologies are vital for operations where direct human intervention is impractical, such as on distant planets or moons. By leveraging AI, NASA improves the operational capabilities and efficiency of its exp...
Between the amount of data movement that was required and the limited computing capabilities, it would take up to a few years for the team to see any results. Additionally, for the mission monitoring and analyzing the surface of the sun, 1.5 TBs of new data was collected daily. Delays and...
This was followed by Project Gemini, which used spacecraft built for two astronauts to perfect the capabilities needed for the national objective of a human trip to the Moon by the end of the 1960s. Project Apollo achieved that objective in July 1969 with the Apollo 11 mission and expanded ...
NASA continues to advance the journey to Mars through progress on the Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM), which will test a number of new capabilities needed for future human expeditions to deep space, including to Mars. This includes advanced Solar Electric Propulsion — an efficient way to move ...
Spacecraft and their components have to be lightweight to ensure cost-effective launches, fuel and power efficiency, and structural integrity, not to mention maximum instrumentation for mission capabilities. But reducing mass is no simple task. To make it easier and faster to design lightweight spa...
NASA announced Tuesday the selection of four U.S. companies to collaborate with NASA through unfunded partnerships to develop new space capabilities available to the government and other customers. The partnerships build on the success of NASA's commerci
