What role will F-15 jets play in the future of supersonic flight?

In sending a car-sized rotorcraft to explore Saturn's moon Titan, NASA's Dragonfly mission will undertake an unprecedented voyage of scientific discovery. And the work to ensure this first-of-its-kind project can fulfill its ambitious exploration vision is underway in some of the nation's most advanced space simulation and testing laboratories.

A day-by-day look at the upcoming lunar journey.

The buzz is building for NASA’s Artemis II mission that will send four astronauts on a 10-day voyage around the moon. The highly anticipated endeavor will be the first crewed moon-bound flight since the final Apollo mission way back in 1972.

NASA wants to make supersonic flight quieter and engineers in Cleveland are helping to make that happen. The X-59 plane took its first flight in October.

Teams at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida continue to prepare the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket, Orion spacecraft, and ground infrastructure in advance of the Artemis II test flight.

NASA’s experimental X-59 has finally traded the hangar for the sky, marking a historic first flight that could rewrite the rules for how fast passenger jets move over land. The ultra-quiet research aircraft is designed to slice through the sound barrier while turning the traditional sonic boom into a far softer thump,

Nuclear propulsion and power technologies could unlock new frontiers in missions to the moon, Mars, and beyond. NASA has reached an important milestone advancing nuclear propulsion that could benefit future deep space missions by completing a cold-flow test campaign of the first flight reactor engineering development unit since the 1960s.

To help meet that challenge, The University of Texas at Arlington has received a three-year, $750,000 grant from NASA’s MUREP program to develop a new class of impact-resistant materials designed to protect next-generation aircraft during extreme landing or collision events.
