NASA research mathematician Katherine Johnson is photographed at her desk at Langley Research Center. Born on Aug. 26, 1918, in White Sulphur Springs, WV, Johnson worked at Langley from 1953 until her retirement in 1986, making critical technical contributions which included calculating the trajectory of Alan Shepard's historic 1961 flight. via NASA ift.tt/2bThBp5
Questa vista a colori di Rea è stata ottenuta con le immagini scattate il 3 giugno 2016 dalla Narrow Angle Camera della sonda della NASA Cassini.
Rea, che è la seconda luna più grande di Saturno dopo Titano, appare luminosa illuminata in pieno dal Sole. Questa è la firma del ghiaccio d'acqua.
Sulla superficie si notano anche diverse variazioni cromatiche e di albedo, chiaro segno di un'attività geologica passata.
Questa immagine composita ottenuta con i filtri infrarosso, rosso, verde, blu ed ultravioletto, riprende il lato opposto a Saturno.
Il frame in ultravioletto è stato pubblicato ieri nel Photojournal della NASA.

NASA LaRC Gantry used in lunar landing training as well as testing of land-based landings of the Orion spacecraft. Langley Research Center (LaRC) is the oldest of NASA's field centers, located in Hampton, Virginia. LaRC focuses primarily on aeronautical research, though the Apollo lunar lander was flight-tested at the facility and a number of high-profile space missions have been planned and designed on-site.

Machining for NASA's Orion spacecraft, scheduled to fly on the second integrated flight with agency's Space Launch System rocket, is well underway at Ingersoll Machine Tools in Rockford, Illinois. The new deep space spacecraft will take humans farther into the solar system than we have ever traveled before. via NASA ift.tt/2qANEQE

NASA's WB-57F Canberra:
Since this old sign refers to the facility as a "USAF Tracking Station," the sign probably dates back to sometime after NASA vacated the site & USAF took over full ownership.
They sure weren't kidding when they warned that the access road was rather hazardous. I have no idea how personnel were supposed to get safely to or from the site during snowfall or rainy weather, despite a 4WD being issued to the facility.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden poses with Goddard Space Flight Center interns at the 51st Annual Robert H. Goddard Memorial Symposium. The Robert H. Goddard Memorial Symposium is an annual event the brings together leaders in government, industry, and academia to discuss the space program in general and NASA’s strategic plan. The symposium was held at the Greenbelt Marriott, located in Greenbelt, MD.

Fifty years ago, Surveyor 1 reached the Moon. Launched on May 30, 1966 and landed on June 2, 1966 with the Moon at full phase it became the first US spacecraft to make a soft landing on another world. The first of seven Surveyor missions intended to test the lunar terrain for the planned Apollo landings it sent back over 10,000 images before lunar nightfall on June 14. The total rose to over 11,000 images returned before its second lunar night began on July 13. Surveyor 1 continued to respond from the lunar surface until January 7, 1967. Captured in this 2009 image from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the first Surveyor still stands at its landing site, a speck in the Oceanus Procellarum (the Ocean of Storms). With the Sun low on the western horizon the lonely, 3.3 meter tall spacecraft casts a shadow almost 15 meters long in the late lunar afternoon. via NASA ift.tt/1U4F5J7

NASA Langley the Langley Aeronautics Early Career Network hosted a Hotdog Hootenanny, which will feature the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. This took place on the pedestrian walkway outside of the cafeteria and served a finite amount of free hotdogs.
NASA's Juno spacecraft obtained this color view on June 21, 2016, at a distance of 6.8 million miles (10.9 million kilometers) from Jupiter. Juno will arrive at Jupiter on July 4. As Juno makes its initial approach, the giant planet's four largest moons -- Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto -- are visible. via NASA ift.tt/29gy6tM

Team Penn State prepares their 3D-printer to begin printing a subscale habitat structure at NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge, held at the Caterpillar Edwards Demonstration & Learning Center in Edwards, Illinois, May 1-4, 2019. The habitat print is the final level of the multi-phase competition, which began in in 2015. The 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge is a competition to create sustainable shelters suitable for the Moon, Mars or beyond using resources available on-site in these locations. The challenge is managed by NASA's Centennial Challenges program, and partner Bradley University of Peoria, Illinois.

NASA Shuttle Bus- April 30th, 2014-
We live right outside of NASA here in Houston, They retired the 747 used to ferry the Space Shuttles after their flights. They retired the Jumbo Bus and hauled it in pieces to its final resting spot at the Space Museum on the NASA Grounds. They had to move all the pieces at night and it came right by my neighborhood last night! What an event They had everything shut down! It as quite a sight. It was stopped here for 30 minutes while utility companies moved overhead wires at an upcoming intersection, making for a great photo-op!

In a lab at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, engineers simulated conditions that astronauts in space suits would experience when the Orion spacecraft is vibrating during launch atop the agency’s powerful Space Launch System rocket on its way to deep space destinations. via NASA ift.tt/2jmqQmU
The Ames-Dryden (AD)-1 was a research aircraft designed to investigate the concept of an oblique (or pivoting) wing. The oblique wing could be rotated on its center pivot so that it could be set at its most efficient angle for the speed at which the airplane was flying.
NASA #3, an EMD SW1500, sits outside the maintenance shop at Kennedy Space Center. The former Toledo, Peoria & Western Railway EMD SW1500 switcher engine is one of three that serves the 38 mile shortline which runs throughout Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Engineers from NASA’s Langley Research Center and Boeing dropped a full-scale test article of the company’s CST-100 Starliner into Langley’s 20-foot-deep Hydro Impact Basin. Although the spacecraft is designed to land on land, Boeing is testing the Starliner’s systems in water to ensure astronaut safety in the unlikely event of an emergency. via NASA ift.tt/218F5cG

It hasn’t made it into the popular news channels much which is puzzling because the device, and its mission, is so very, very cool. On August 12, 2018, NASA will launch the Parker Solar Probe, a car-sized spacecraft with a mission to examine the Sun’s corona. It’s no small feat and will require the probe maintain speeds of 430,000 miles per hour as it whirls around the sun.

Lapping at rocks along the shore of the Island of Nangan, Taiwan, planet Earth, waves are infused with a subtle blue light in this sea and night skyscape. Composed of a series of long exposures made on April 16 the image captures the faint glow from Noctiluca scintillans. Also known as sea sparkles or blue tears, the marine plankton's bioluminescence is stimulated by wave motion. City lights along the coast of mainland China shine beneath low clouds in the west but stars and the faint Milky Way still fill the night above. Over the horizon the galaxy's central bulge and dark rifts seem to echo the rocks and luminous waves. via NASA ift.tt/1ExrgNs
At first, I thought the barrels were full of old, abandoned HAZMAT, but seeing others in similar locations further up the hill makes me think they were placed to absorb the impact of a runaway/sliding vehicle & prevent it from crashing through the guardrail sections & tumbling down the hill.
I've been informed that most of these barrels were not there in the 1970s, so I believe the USAF must have placed them when it took over operation of the site in the early 1980s.
