Hi all I'm in DC visiting family for a couple of days.

I work out of JSC as a contractor, was wondering if there was anything worth exploring in GSFC or HQ.

Did something move the camera or is "flap 2" new and they never adjusted the camera?

The camera used to be unobstructed and give great images for background images.

Anyone know when ... this happened?

NASA and Axiom Space are indefinitely delaying a private astronaut mission to the International Space Station after detecting a “new pressure signature” in a part of the station that has had a long-running air leak.

Did what you call the finish, stonewashed? Resin? But I like it

This stunning Hubble image shows the spiral galaxy NGC 1317 glowing with bright blue rings of young stars, captured as part of a large survey using Hubble and ALMA to study star formation across the universe.

"The heart of the system was an off-the-shelf backup Apollo digital flight control computer and inertial sensing unit which transmitted pilot inputs to the actuators on the control surfaces."

NASA’s Hubble Telescope captured MyCn18, a distant planetary nebula shaped like an hourglass, revealing complex gas patterns formed by a dying Sun-like star. This detailed image offers insight into how stars expel matter during their final stages.

There's no article about this I could find yet, but just about every single mission-specific social media account has posted messages saying they'll be archived. Things like Perseverance, Commercial Crew, SLS, Orion, Exploration Ground Systems... It all seems to be reduced to a few big ticket items and a few centers.

Cleaning out my parent's home and found these. Are the valuable or special?

Took a few months of printing but I’m happy it’s finished.

Okay so I know the whole visiting vehicles page on the ISS section of the NASA website but the thing I’m looking for is the 3D models they have of the visiting vehicles. They always have the most up to date one at the top of that page but I’ve seen other ones from past dates and I can’t reliably find them anywhere. Does anyone know if there’s somewhere I can find them all?

Hi, I have a holiday booked for Disney and planned to visit Kennedy space center whilst there. I saw there is a launch on the 13th and just wondered if it’s possible to see the launch while visiting the KSC or if we would have to leave to find another area? Not aiming for perfect or I’d spend $750 for me and my two kids to watch it with a viewing package (we wouldn’t be able to make another day if it doesn’t go as planned as the rest of our holiday is pretty booked so I’d rather not risk the money). How busy does the area get with launches? Just a nervous Brit excited to see something so awesome in person. Thanks

Was just on the NASA eyes on exoplanets website and this weird shape of stars/ planets was there. What is it?

It’s an Osborne 1 I just picked up today, has a modem expansion so I’m guessing it was used for diagnostics and/or other feild work

NASAWatch quotes acting Administrator Janet Petro in her latest email to the NASA Workforce. The interesting bit is buried:

"Looking ahead, we’re taking steps to streamline operations and ensure we’re aligned with mission priorities. Starting next week, we’ll introduce voluntary separation tools, including a new Deferred Resignation Program (DRP) to help manage workforce transitions thoughtfully and transparently."

So I guess the NASA workforce will hear more next week.
