Innovation Now

It’s been dubbed one of the top ten DIY medical devices - this student-designed invention uses the power of the sun to clean surgical instruments.

This high-tech water-powered test facility was often called the world’s largest water gun!

NASA has collected information about several citizen science projects so you can make your own scientific discoveries during the eclipse.

More than 300 million people in the United States could directly view the total solar eclipse – and NASA wants everyone who witnesses the phenomenon to do so safely.

The addition of TDRS-M will update the communications network, enabling groundbreaking science and faster, more flexible communications.

Using the vegetation index obtained through instruments on NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites, researchers can calculate the greenness of the mule deer habitat from space.

What was good for modern airliners soon proved good for modern spacecraft as well.

Blue wavelengths, which boost attention and improve our mood during the day, may be the most disruptive kind of light at night.

There are lots of anecdotal reports about what it sounds like during an eclipse, but no one has tackled it with a scientific mind – until now.

This was space from scratch –the tools and technologies necessary for successful human spaceflight had to be developed and tested. So Langley aeronautics engineers were asked to help solve problems far removed from their original training and experience.
