The most effective way to prove a new idea is to start small, test, learn, and test again. A team of researchers developing an atmospheric probe at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, are taking that approach. The concept could offer future scientists a potentially better and more economical way to collect data on other planets.

If you thought the dust bunnies under your sofa were an issue, imagine trying to combat dust on the Moon. Dust is a significant challenge for astronauts living and working on the lunar surface. So, NASA is developing technologies that mitigate dust buildup enabling a safer, sustainable presence on the Moon.

NASA's Lucy spacecraft executed a critical gravity assist maneuver on Dec. 12, 2024, skimming just 220 miles (360 kilometers) above Earth's surface. This close approach, occurring at 11:15 p.m. EST, propels the spacecraft on a new trajectory through the asteroid belt and toward the Jupiter Trojan asteroids - objects never previously visited by any spacecraft.
