At Day 2 of the BIG Idea Challenge forum, @MIT, @dartmouth, @coschoolofmines / @uarizona and @ASU teams will present ideas to shed light on unexplored areas of the lunar surface – which could help @NASAArtemis missions study the Moon. LIVE at 11 a.m. ET: https://t.co/UYrB4AkGCs

Up next at the BIG Idea Challenge forum, the @penn_state team will present an instrument designed to measure the composition of soil in permanently shadowed regions of the Moon. This tech uses a laser to determine the location and concentration of resources, such as water ice. https://t.co/7kMgCJy9uF

At the BIG Idea Challenge virtual forum, finalists will present their ideas to shed light on unexplored areas of the lunar surface. These student-developed systems could help @NASAArtemis missions study the Moon ahead of a human landing. 📺LIVE Jan. 6-7: https://t.co/UYrB4A35dS

Tune in LIVE as @JimBridenstine kicks off the BIG Idea Challenge Forum where 8 university teams will present innovative concepts for lunar payloads that could help @NASAArtemis missions explore uncharted areas of the Moon. 📺 10:30 a.m. ET: https://t.co/UYrB4A35dS https://t.co/S64B5c7kcp

This week, university students will present their ideas for lunar payloads that could shed light on previously unexplored areas of the Moon. 🌘 Learn more and tune in LIVE to the Breakthrough, Innovative and Game-changing (BIG) Idea Challenge on Jan. 6: https://t.co/WZnRjcE9UL https://t.co/W4esDvkX5B

This is an opportunity for entrepreneurs across the U.S. to connect with industry experts and potential investors to shine a spotlight on innovations that could improve life here on Earth & in space: https://t.co/KeWa013mwT https://t.co/Fen5GvO1zT

Bob Youngquist & James Fesmire are @NASAKennedy researchers who have been inducted into the NASA Inventors Hall of Fame this year. Their problem-solving abilities for NASA also "have the tangible effect of building solutions for the real world.” More: https://t.co/25rziNUrHF https://t.co/Jd6YieR8vQ

What is Greg Carmouche's 10% rule? He jokes, “You've got to be 10% percent smarter than the thing you're trying to operate!” As Sr Test Director at @NASAStennis, we're sure he knows his way around the rocket engines at America's largest 🚀 test complex: https://t.co/ucpG857hh2 https://t.co/hHLsdhHMz0

One of the most innovative technologies on @NASAWebb is its tennis court-sized sunshield, which will block heat from reaching the sensitive mirrors & instruments. Webb recently deployed its sunshield in one of its most critical milestones to date: https://t.co/HCyuRIaL14 https://t.co/dhzCwrnzAa

Meet Greg Carmouche, a Senior Test Director at @NASAStennis — the last place in the U.S. where large engines or whole rocket stages like @NASA_SLS can be tested. 🚀 To learn more about the test facilities at Stennis, visit: https://t.co/ucpG857hh2 https://t.co/ZRIa5uHsVT

Commercial partners are helping us prepare for #Artemis missions to the Moon. Engineers recently conducted a live simulation of a landing at the Moon’s South Pole using @NASA-developed navigation software with a navigation system developed by @blueorigin. https://t.co/XvZhRn2LUB https://t.co/fpuP8tI5PV

In 2020, we persevered. Now, with the energy of the most powerful rocket ever built, we step into 2021. We will: 🌖🚀 Send the first @NASAArtemis mission to the Moon 🛰️🌌 Launch @NASAWebb into space 🔴🤖 Achieve a #CountdownToMars landing Let's go: https://t.co/uxHyXNgAyb https://t.co/b08D54NLzU

NASA worked with @BlueOrigin to test a suite of flash lidar technologies for the #Artemis program. The tests used simulated targets with lidar placed in a basket. The lidar was raised and lowered over a hazard field to simulate descending towards the Moon. https://t.co/5m4wOchu4k https://t.co/UjQgpFH6p6

Earlier this month, researchers here at Kennedy tested a shoebox-sized robotic rover inside of a 120-ton bin of regolith rock & dust that simulates the lunar surface. These small rovers create opportunities to conduct a wide range of missions on the Moon: https://t.co/F4eN29wecy https://t.co/6QY2dMR0Od

It’s been a difficult year, but the bright minds here at JPL persevered and created important science instruments. From tumbleweed-like robots to ventilators and a portable automated lab, here are highlights of the technology we developed in 2020: https://t.co/11iTuiGgY8 https://t.co/7g7yZKG2JD

2020 has been packed with science aboard Earth’s orbiting laboratory. Look back at what it was like to conduct research aboard the @Space_Station in low-Earth orbit this year. https://t.co/Sm8PzVHL64 https://t.co/E6PDc3BUqz

Season’s greetings to Earth from the @Space_Station! ❄️ 🎁 ☃️ Crew members on orbit share what the holidays mean to them, and how they'll be celebrating in space. Bonus: a station vs. Mission Control decorating contest! Watch: https://t.co/8g7LoQso9p https://t.co/dyWZ93VjgK
