High art met high tech as NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) received an image of the Mona Lisa via laser.

The gases released by satellites themselves can damage them, so NASA is working on new ways to control or eliminate these emissions.

Researchers at Stanford University and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center are developing a new atomic interferometry technique that may be sensitive enough to record gravity waves for the first time.

NASA is developing a service robot that can visit ailing satellites and refuel or even repair them on the spot.

On August 23, two Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) will launch atop an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida to study the radioactive Van Allen Belts.

NASA's stunning Perpetual Ocean animation visualizes ocean currents.

NASA's new Curiosity Mars rover is ready for launch.

NASA engineers have developed a nanotech-based coating that absorbs on average more than 99 percent of the ultraviolet, visible, infrared, and far-infrared light that hits it.

NASA researchers will evaluate three different "tractor beam" technologies with the goal of developing a system that can trap and move planetary or atmospheric particles using laser light.

NASA is turning to optical communications technology that would use lasers to increase data rates of space transmissions by anywhere from 10 to 100 times.

NASA has released new low-altitude photos of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 landing sites, that show details such as the astronauts' foot paths.

A new NASA project called “Solar Shield” is working to develop a forecasting system that can mitigate the impacts of severe solar storms on North American power grids.
