NASA plays an important role in the science of typhoons. Our fleet of Earth-observing satellites can monitor storms from the distinct vantage point of space to collect information that is likewise useful for disaster readiness, mitigation, action, and healing. Family members of Apollo 1 astronaut Roger B. Chaffee were signed up with by NASA Administrator Bill Nelson as they placed flowers at the monolith during its devotion.
An essential time frame for the James Webb Area Telescope …
An upgrade about the next generation of spacesuits … And evaluating our lunar-roving robot … a few of the stories to inform you about– Today at NASA!
First Full-Color Images Coming Soon from Webb Space Telescope
Our James Webb Space Telescope group is planning to release the telescopes first full-color images and spectroscopic information on July 12. Some early test imagery has actually already shown the unprecedented sharpness of Webbs infrared view. The images and information launched on July 12 will be the very first to display Webbs full science capabilities.

NASA Partners to Provide New Spacewalking and Moonwalking Services
On June 1, we announced that Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace will develop and provide next-generation spacesuit and spacewalk systems for astronauts to work outside the International Space Station, explore the lunar surface area on Artemis missions, and prepare for human missions to Mars. Discover more about spacesuits and spacewalking at nasa.gov/ suitup.

Testing NASAs Resource-Hunting Moon Rover
Teams at our Glenn Research Center in Cleveland just recently conducted full-scale egress testing with the prototype of our VIPER Moon rover to verify that it will be able to exit the Astrobotic Griffin lunar lander safely and effectively after landing on the Moon. VIPER is targeted for delivery to the Moons South Pole in late 2023 to map important resources for future Artemis missions.

NASA Prepared to Monitor 2022 Hurricane Season from Space
The 2022 Atlantic Ocean cyclone season kicked off on June 1 and goes through November 30. NASA plays an important role in the science of cyclones. Our fleet of Earth-observing satellites can monitor storms from the distinct viewpoint of space to gather data that is likewise beneficial for catastrophe readiness, recovery, reaction, and mitigation.
