🛰️ Help bridge today's mission needs with tomorrow's commercial ecosystem. 🚀
NASA is seeking proposals from industry to demonstrate backwards compatible Ka-band relay services for legacy missions; ensuring mission continuity while stimulating the commercial marketplace. 📡🌎
We develop, demonstrate, and infuse transformational technologies that enhance NASA’s efforts to explore the unknown in space and benefit life on Earth.
- Hello, Griffin-1! We’re pleased to have helped advance the Hazard Detection Lidar technology that will scan and analyze the Moon’s terrain in real-time to map and select the safest landing site. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4fSlkFo Credit: @astrobotictechnology
00:00A Moon Base lander is one step closer to the lunar South Pole. @astrobotic recently unveiled the Griffin-1 lunar lander, now ready for environmental testing at @NASAJPL ahead of its late-2026 launch. Griffin-1 will deliver payloads supporting Moon Base Phase One. - NASA Technology repostedThe performance of our AstroPix gamma-ray sensors will be tested on @NASA’s FFR (Fly Foundational Robots) mission set to launch in late 2027. In the future, these sensors could detect light from black hole-powered galaxies and cosmic explosions. More: go.nasa.gov/4eduN97
