NASA's Glenn Research Center✓

Someone's gotta hold it down in Ohio ✨🚀✈️ Here at NASA Glenn, we're transforming aviation, revolutionizing space exploration, and inspiring new discoveries for the benefit of all. One of 10 @NASA centers and the only one in the Midwest, our lab was first established more than 85 years ago. Our world-class test facilities and our expertise in power, propulsion, communications, and advanced materials are supporting NASA's missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond and helping to make your flights safer, quieter, and more efficient. Thanks for following along with us!

As part of @NASA’s effort to commercialize space relay services, two companies have launched their satellite relay service demos on the SpaceX Bandwagon-5 mission. 🚀 Managed by Glenn through the Communications Services Project, the demos by Viasat and SES Space & Defense are testing spacecraft connectivity to show that their satellite networks can communicate with missions in low Earth orbit, as well as ground stations on Earth.

Congratulations to the civil servant employees sworn in today at NASA Glenn as part of @NASAAdmin’s insourcing initiative. The large group gathered for orientation — and had the chance to tour several world-class facilities — at our Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Sandusky, Ohio. We’re excited to work with you at NASA’s only center in the Midwest as we transform aviation, revolutionize space exploration, and inspire new discoveries for the benefit of all. Welcome to the @NASA team!

Flight research for the benefit of all ✈️ For decades, NASA Glenn transformed aircraft into flying laboratories to conduct experiments and test aviation and spaceflight innovations. Our work has kept your planes safe from ice, made your flights more fuel-efficient, prepared technologies for space, and even helped protect Lake Erie from harmful algae blooms. Discover more:

RT @NASAhistory: NASA's Cassini spacecraft lifted off 29 years ago to begin its long voyage to Saturn. For 13 years, Cassini orbited Saturn, revealing unexpected features of the planet, its rings, and its icy moons, and expanding our understanding of the kinds of worlds where life might exist.

RT @NASAHubble: Did you catch the @NASARoman launch? 🚀 NASA’s newest space telescope is on the way to its home orbit a million miles away, where it’ll capture wide-field, infrared views of the universe! Roman gets the big picture, while Hubble delivers the details. ⬇️

RT @NASAArtemis: Post-flight analysis confirms the Artemis II Orion heat shield performed as expected during its Mach 39 reentry, protecting the spacecraft and the astronauts aboard as they returned from the 694,481-mile journey around the Moon.

RT @NASALangley: ✈️We're so excited to show off NASA's B777! Spend the next 77 seconds with us and take a look inside the features that make this aircraft so special and help advance our airborne science missions.

RT @NASA: Our biggest event of the year lands soon! ✈️ MAX POWER, a new aerospace expo, is happening Nov. 7-8 @NASA_Kennedy. Experiences for all to enjoy—including air shows, immersive exhibits, astronaut appearances & more! Check out our FAQs and plan your visit:

RT @NASAAdmin: We’re getting America underway on nuclear power in space and ushering in the era of a Nuclear NASA. With the signing of an MOU with @ENERGY, we’re taking the next giant leap toward exploring the outer solar system and sending American astronauts to Mars. Fission power will help us travel farther, operate longer, and power more capable scientific instruments.

RT @nasahqphoto: Welcome home @NASA @SpaceX Crew-12 NASA astronauts @Astro_Jessica and @astro_hathaway, @esa astronaut @Soph_astro, and @roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev! They splashed down off the coast of Los Angeles, CA in their Crew Dragon Freedom spacecraft. Check back for more photos: 📷

RT @Space_Station: .@NASA+ is live streaming the return to Earth of four @SpaceX Crew-12 members inside Dragon for a splash down in the Pacific Ocean at 11:34 a.m. EDT today.

RT @NASA: @Space_Station Headed home! Crew-12 has undocked from the @Space_Station in their Dragon spacecraft. They'll splash down in the Pacific Ocean tomorrow, Oct. 8 — tune in here for live coverage starting at 10:20am ET (1420 UTC).

Explore the sights, sounds, and science of the @NASAArtemis II mission! ➡️

Artemis II update! We just dropped 814GB of observations — including nearly 1,000 new images and 521 minutes of crew audio — in our Artemis II Preliminary Lunar Science Report:

RT @Space_Station: Crew-12 is heading home, shaped by a mission full of science 🔬 From advancing cancer treatments to refining quantum technologies, Crew-12 supported a range of research that benefits life on Earth and helps prepare humans for future exploration missions.

RT @NASA: It's World Space Week! This year's theme is "Rocket Revolution" — celebrate with us by looking back to the launch of Artemis II, powered by our Space Launch System rocket and its 8.8 million pounds of thrust. Learn more about SLS:

RT @NASAJPL: What’s up for October? 🪐 See Saturn at opposition, catch the Orionid meteor shower, and watch the Moon pass close to the Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters.

RT @NASA: Welcome aboard! 🙌 After nearly eight hours in flight, Crew-13 arrived at the @Space_Station, where they will spend the next several months conducting experiments on science and tech to benefit life on Earth and in space.

RT @NASA: Destination: @Space_Station📍 NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission has successfully launched! The Dragon spacecraft carrying the crew is set to dock at about 7pm ET (2300 UTC) tonight, kicking off several months of scientific exploration. Watch with us here!

RT @NASA: LIVE: Four new crew members are about to lift off for the @Space_Station! NASA's @SpaceX Crew-13 mission is scheduled to launch from the Space Coast at 11:10am ET (1510 UTC).
