    At @NASA, we undertake the near impossible. This month, a first-of-its-kind mission will launch to boost our Swift observatory before it re-enters Earth’s atmosphere. Follow along with this daring, rapid-response effort to advance American spacecraft servicing technology.

    Summer, summer, summertime ☀️ June 21 is the summer solstice for folks north of the Equator. This is when the Northern Hemisphere reaches its maximum tilt toward the Sun and has its longest stretch of daylight all year. go.nasa.gov/4oDA3WY

    It’s a Martian marathon! NASA's Perseverance Rover has surpassed a total distance of 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometers) of travel on the Red Planet. It crossed the milestone while exploring intriguing ancient terrain to the west of Jezero Crater.

    "The fascination that I have for test flying comes from being able to go into an environment where we have an idea what's going to happen, but then you have to [make it] happen." Meet the Artemis III crew in this episode of Houston We Have a Podcast: nasa.gov/podcasts/houst…
    The four crew members of Artemis III -- from left to right, Luca Parmitano, Andre Douglas, Randy Bresnik, and Frank Rubio -- grin for the camera as they pose for a photo.

    ✈️ ANOTHER MILESTONE UNLOCKED: NASA’s X-59 reaches speed, altitude for future quiet supersonic flight testing! NASA's X-59 experimental aircraft achieved a major milestone June 12, reaching Mach 1.4 (about 924 mph) and an altitude of 55,000 feet – its fastest and highest flight
    NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft reached its target speed and altitude for future community overflights for the first time during a flight on Friday, June 12, 2026. The milestone marked the first time the aircraft flew at Mach 1.4 and 55,000 feet — conditions it will fly when gathering community response data to its quiet sonic thump.

    Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

    Have you ever wanted to have your name 'Roman' a million miles away? Now you can! Send your name along the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, scheduled to launch Aug. 30, 2026! Sign up here: go.nasa.gov/4ejkRcR Submissions close July 12.
    A person in a head-to-toe white clean room suit holds a large purple "boarding pass" for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in Goddard's large cleanroom. The boarding pass includes an image of the 18 detectors, an artist concept image of the telescope, a QR code, and the NASA logo. "Roman Telescope" is written where the name would go.
    The plate attached to the Roman telescope, where a memory card containing names will be attached. It's a tall, thin, rectangular silver plate. At the top of the plate is the stylized Nancy Grace Roman name logo. Below is the silhouette of Roman's 18-square detectors in their iconic arch shape. Text below that reads "NASA's first chief astronomer, Nancy Grace Roman, persevered through barriers and made powerful space telescopes a reality. She envisioned a world where everyone had access to, and enthusiasm for, science. This observatory is the continuation of her legacy and dream." Below the text is an illustration of Dr. Roman looking up, next to her name and the years 1925-2018. Below the years is a small box where the memory card will be affixed. The plate is held down with two large bolts at the top and bottom.
    The fully assembled Roman telescope in the clean room, standing upright. It's a silver cylinder with solar panels peeking out from behind both sides like wings. The hood is deployed, like a black sun visor on a baseball cap. Orange lifts and people in white cleanroom suits surrounded the telescope, highlighting how large it is. The unfolded lifts only reach about one-quarter of the way up the telescope's body. Instrumentation and cables are visible in a section about one-third of the way up the body. Thousands of tiny squares on the wall behind the telescope are air filters for the clean room.

    Introducing Artemis III. Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown. In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.
