Research and exploration of the Sun, Moon, planets and broader universe.
New analysis methods, long-running public datasets and new observatories are expanding both research and commercial mission planning.
NASA currently lists August 30 at 7:26 a.m. EDT as the target for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy from Kennedy Space Center.
A COFFIES research model looks for subtle acoustic and magnetic precursors on the Sun, offering a potential earlier warning signal for space-weather forecasting — but NASA says it is not yet operational.
Public lunar observations are being combined into terrain, radiation and resource-analysis products — useful for planning, but not a substitute for direct measurements of what is actually available at a landing site.
NASA publishes primary research, mission data and applied scientific AI workflows used in Atalk.TV coverage of space weather, lunar science, citizen science and major observatories including Roman.
