NASA Sites

NASA:

The administration's front door. Links to all of their research and space flight centers, and a gallery of archive photos to browse. Also check out NASA Television and Spacelink for more information and up-to-date news.

Imagine the Universe:

This site dedicated to a discussion about our universe and the science of knowing it is a service of the High-Energy Astrophysics Learning Center. A companion site, StarChild, is intended for younger learners.

Education Program:

A good jumping off spot for finding education related resources produced by NASA.

NASA Quest:

The Ames Research Center sponsors this site dedicated to bringing news and information about some of NASA's projects to students and teachers. Featured are interactive projects, on line video and connected classrooms. Includes information about Neurolab, a project that will conduct brain research to study neurological and behavioral changes that take place in space.

Women of NASA:

This interactive project showcases outstanding women who are enjoying successful careers in math, science and technology.

Cosmocopia:

Formerly The Cosmic and Heliospheric Learning Center, designed to increase interest and knowledge related to cosmic and heliospheric science. The heliosphere is the region of the universe affected by our own sun.

Polar, Wind and Geotail:

International Solar-Terrestrial Physics: "A global concert of spacecraft and observatories, scientists and engineers, tuning into the Sun, the Earth, and their never-ending symphony..."

Space Station Page:

Information central for news and information about the International Space Station. Also see the Human Space Flight (HSF) - International Space Station page.

Space Explorers:

Explore space through the Mission: Solar System, Orbital Laboratory, and K-3 Space pages. Access data about the moon produced by NASA's Lunar Prospector mission as it searches for water ice on the Moon's surface. The Lunar Prospector is NASA's first Moon mission project in 25 years, and the web site contains a wealth of general information, past and present, about our lunar neighbor.

Ulysses:

Home page for the craft launched in 1990 and now beginning it's second orbit high over the sun's polar regions. Links to all sorts of great information about the project and to other related internet sites. You can visit the ESA (European Space Agency) Ulysses home page, as well.

Galileo Home Page:

The Jupiter satellite mission up close. Images, information, and links to data sets and related sites.

Cassini Home Page:

All kinds of information about the satellite's mission to Saturn, including images.

New Horizons:

Learn about NASA'a mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, origin of many short-period comets close to the plane of the solar system. Clues to the origins of Pluto and it's moon, Charon, may yield information about the formation of our solar system. Visit plutomission.com to find out how to help get this mission off the ground.

JPL:

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is home to many space missions. This page contains links to the Mars Pathfinder and Sojourner Rover mission, as the Cassini, Galileo and Ulysses missions. Managed by Caltech. Lots of cool pictures and information about aerospace exploration, including the Origins Program, which is attempting to shed light on the origin of our own universe. The Learning Link page has nice Earth and Space Science links.

Long Baseline Stellar Interferometry:

ThisJet Propulsion Laboratory site is an electronic newsletter and resource sharing tool for those interested in this method of creating sharper images of astronomical objects. Contains a good links site and interesting photos.

Solar System Exploration Home Page:

This has to be the definitive jumping-off point for finding out about the exploration of our own solar systems. Photo-junkies watch out.

Dryden Flight Research Center:

A NASA site dedicated to research for aerospace vehicles, platform craft, and shuttle operations.

Goddard Space Flight Center:

Learn about Goddard's mission to expand knowledge of the Earth and its environment, the solar system, and the universe through observations from space. The Imagine the Universe page is a High Energy Astrophysics learning center. MAP (Microwave Anisotropy Probe) is a project designed to illuminate the early universe and the how and when of the formation of galaxies by studying differences in cosmic microwave background radiation.

Kennedy Space Center:

A very comprehensive NASA site. Information on missions past, present, and future.

Johnson Space Center:

The focus here is on the human aspects of space flight. Be sure to check out the 500 Best Selected Earth Observations Database.

Marshall Space Flight Center:

Spacelab's home base. Information on a variety of research projects in areas like bio-technology, microgravity, and astronomy. Be sure to visit the Liftoff to Space Exploration for the latest news and information from the Mission Operations Laboratory (Archive only, no longer supported).

Stennis Space Center:

NASA's primary center for testing rocket propulsion systems. Their engines sent our astronauts on their way to the moon.

Ultra Long-Duration Balloon Project:

Not all space research instruments ride into the upper atmosphere on a column of fire. Learn about NASA's Feb. 2003 launch of 2200 pound scientific payloads on balloons designed to operate in the upper 1% of the earth's atmosphere for as long as 100 days. There are even plans afoot for using this technology to explore the atmospheres and surfaces of other members of our solar system.

NASA Earth Observatory:

This is the home page for NASA's new Earth Observing System fleet of satellites designed to monitor the planet's health. You can see a wide variety of images produced by this effort. Very interesting stuff. For more information, check out the April 2000 issue of Scientific American.

Near Earth Object Program:

We aren't in immediate danger of crashing into an asteroid, but we're keeping a close eye on near earth objects anyway! Check out the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous Mission.
