Researchers are working on an idea that may vastly improve how we build in space. Launching large objects to orbit today is limited by rocket size/cargo capacity. The Bend-Forming process may beat these limitations and transform in-space construction. go.nasa.gov/3EayCc6

We have a long history of supporting America’s entrepreneurs as they develop tech from ideas to commercial readiness. Today we continue that legacy: we're investing $105M in 127 small businesses, funding that will help move their innovations to market: go.nasa.gov/3uL1j9p

Student projects soar! This summer, student experiments flew aboard @astrobotic's rocket-powered lander over a simulated lunar surface as part of our TechRise Student Challenge. Learn more and keep an eye out for the next challenge opening on Aug. 1: go.nasa.gov/3FRaM65

CatSat, a CubeSat with a deployable antenna inside a balloon, was developed by a student team at the @uarizona with the help of NASA early research funding. CatSat will launch on @Firefly_Space's Alpha rocket 🚀on July 1 to test high-speed communications: go.nasa.gov/4cueCRu

Want to get your little learners stoked about space before they head #BackToSchool? Our free "First Woman" educational content will bring your student explorers along on Callie's journey to the Moon. Read or listen to the story and then check out our reading comprehension guides, hands-on activities, and word games: go.nasa.gov/3SFnf3G

We're investing $44M in 250 small business and research teams to develop new technologies to address @NASA priorities, such as carbon neutrality and energy storage for various applications in space and on Earth. Learn more about these #smallbiz awards: go.nasa.gov/4en3sz2

We're excited to have two payloads supported by our Flight Opportunities program flying aboard this upcoming flight. Follow @blueorigin for live updates and read more about these technologies: go.nasa.gov/4cDkYNp

Researchers are working on a mission concept that may one day find life deep beneath the icy crust of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. EVE would use an orbiter, a surface module, and a subsurface diver to collect data and search for signs of life. ➡ go.nasa.gov/3KDL99I

Got a taste for some freshly farmed space vegetables? 🥕 🥬 🌽 Astronauts with such a craving may one day be in luck thanks to a new idea that proposes seeding asteroids with fungi to produce farmable soil. ➡ go.nasa.gov/3oBWcqB

Join us TODAY to hear how two technologies [advanced through Flight Opportunities] became part of our nation’s 1st Moon landing in 50+ years! Learn why we use suborbital flight tests and how to get involved with NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services: go.nasa.gov/4dBoZCP

Dr. Kurt Vogel, associate administrator for the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD), is retiring from NASA. @NASA_Langley Research Center Director Clayton Turner is the new acting associate administrator for STMD: go.nasa.gov/4bK5JBY

On #NationalInternDay, we're especially grateful for our Space Tech interns who are contributing to outreach for our early-stage research grants, tracking small business successes, communicating how we're building technologies to explore the Moon and beyond, and much more!

Congratulations to @blueorigin and to the researchers whose payloads were tested in flight! Learn more about the technologies that were aboard, including the first NASA-funded researcher-tended experiment flown on a commercial suborbital rocket: go.nasa.gov/4dIXXKo

We worked with the @forestservice & @AerostarInt to test tech for providing cell phone coverage and heat/spatial images from the stratosphere to inform wildland firefighting on the ground. More about the 11-day test of STRATO aboard a high-altitude balloon: go.nasa.gov/4e2tcA1

Check out our Sept. 4 webinar to hear how students of all ages can access flight tests! Speakers will highlight open opportunities such as our TechRise Student Challenge and CubeSat Launch Initiative as well as other hands-on @NASASTEM experiences: go.nasa.gov/3yY7VIC

America landed men on the Moon during the #Apollo11 mission, and today, technology continues to drive exploration across our solar system! Before #Artemis astronauts make new bootprints, our trio of small rovers will lay tracks to map the lunar surface: youtube.com/live/KquhO_4IY…
