    NASA has issued a draft solicitation to advance critical lunar and cislunar technologies. The focus: closing gaps in vertical solar arrays, ISRU oxygen production, Stirling radioisotope generators, in‑space manufacturing, and advanced nanomaterials. These efforts aim to mature
    Artistic concept of lunar surface technologies and infrastructure capabilities, including in-situ resource utilization oxygen production systems, surface power systems, in‑space manufacturing tools, and advanced nanomaterials production.

    A successful demo is just the beginning. 💫 NASA is extending operations of its Polylingual Experimental Terminal (PExT), a demo designed to improve connectivity in space. PExT will now pursue additional demonstrations to support next-gen communications. go.nasa.gov/4dVNCfg
    A close-up rendering of the Polylingual Experimental Terminal (PExT) in space, highlighting its body-mounted 0.6-meter Ka-band antenna. The satellite’s four deep teal solar panels extend in an X-shape, and its white parabolic antenna dish faces upward and to the right. Metallic gold and silver wires and structural hardware are visible between the dish and its metal satellite bus. In the background, bright sunlight partially illuminates the right side of the Earth’s surface. PExT is NASA’s first flight demonstration of a wideband polylingual terminal designed to operate across both government and commercial satellite networks.

    The 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
    A person in a white jacket and gloves holds an AstroPix chip, which is a two-by-two square of what looks like copper-colored computer chips. Only a portion of their torso is visible. Behind them, out of focus, is laboratory equipment. The image is watermarked “Image courtesy of Argonne National Laboratory.”
    In this illustration of NASA’s Fly Foundational Robots mission, a rectangular golden spacecraft sports a robotic arm extending from the bottom-left corner. The arm is reaching toward a small gray box attached to the spacecraft’s upper-right corner. Two narrow solar arrays extend to either side. The lights of various cities shine on Earth below the satellite, and the limb of the atmosphere glows blue in the distance. The image is watermarked “Artist’s concept” and “Credit: Rocket Lab Robotics.”

    Introducing Artemis III. Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown. In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.
