#DYK NASA Glenn has been at the forefront of the nation’s efforts to reduce aircraft engine noise for over 70 years? ✈️🔊 In 2001, our center helped pave the way for a groundbreaking engine technology—the chevron nozzle—to be used on modern airliners and make communities near airports quieter. Just one example of how NASA aeronautics research and development doesn’t only transform aerospace—it improves everyday life on Earth.

Calling all designers! NASA's Artemis II mission to the Moon needs a zero gravity indicator. This indicator takes the form of a small plushie that will float once the Orion spacecraft has reached space. Submit your design for the plushie here: freelancer.com/moon-mascot Image Credit: Freelancer

Our NASA Electric Aircraft Testbed (NEAT) has won a Laureate Award from Aviation Week for extraordinary advancements in commercial aviation! ✈️👏 Located at our Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Sandusky, Ohio, NEAT is a one-of-a-kind site where industry, government, and academia can test electrified aircraft propulsion systems at simulated altitudes. This work is paving the way for transforming flight and creating more fuel-efficient commercial aircraft. #NASA #NASAGlenn #Aviation #Flight #ElectricAircraft #Testing #Aeronautics

4G data from latest Moon mission will help improve communications and navigation in space 🌕 Intuitive Machines' IM-2 mission launched yesterday evening, carrying NASA science and technology to the Moon as part of the agency’s lunar delivery initiative. The NASA Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program is working with partners to leverage 4G data from the mission. SCaN’s Lunar 3rd Generation Partnership project and the Lunar Surface Propagation project — both managed by NASA Glenn — are developing wireless technologies that bring advanced communications capabilities found on Earth to astronauts on the lunar surface. These projects will make use of critical data-gathering and technology-demonstration opportunities from IM-2 to refine models, increase prediction confidence, and ensure that future missions have reliable communications and navigation. 📸: Intuitive Machines (Artistic Representation) #NASA #Moon #Space #Technology #Launch #Science
