An update about the next generation of spacesuits ….

And testing our lunar-roving robot … a few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA!

The first full-color images will appear soon from the Webb Space Telescope

our James Webb Space Telescope The team plans to release the telescope’s first full-color images and spectroscopy data on July 12. some of them early test pictures has already shown Unprecedented sharpness Infrared webview. But the images and data released on July 12 will be the first to show Webb’s full science potential.

Testing NASA’s Resource-Hunting Moon Rover

Teams at our Glenn Research Center in Cleveland recently conducted full-scale egress testing with the prototype of our VIPER Moon rover to verify that it will be able to exit the Astrobotic Griffin lunar lander safely and effectively after landing on the Moon. VIPER is targeted for delivery to the Moon’s South Pole in late 2023 to map valuable resources for future Artemis missions.

NASA Prepared to Monitor 2022 Hurricane Season from Space

The 2022 Atlantic Ocean hurricane season kicked off on June 1 and runs through November 30. NASA plays an important role in the science of hurricanes. Our fleet of Earth-observing satellites can monitor storms from the unique vantage point of space to collect data that is also useful for disaster preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery.
