Happy #NationalAgricultureDay! NASA Aeronautics is dedicated to expanding its efforts to assist in advancing aviation systems that could modernize capabilities in agriculture. This year's NASA's Gateways to Blue Skies Competition theme is AgAir. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4iycDhN

A pilot's view reimagined!✨ NASA test pilot Nils Larson shares how the X-59 doesn't have a forward-facing window & how pilots will be able to see using the aircraft’s eXternal Vision System (XVS)! Want in on the fun? Enter code X59XVS into Flight Log! go.nasa.gov/4kKkyKu

#OTD in 1960 research pilot Joseph Walker flew the first NASA flight in an X-15 rocket aircraft. He reached Mach 2 at 48,630 feet altitude. It was the ninth flight of the program; the preceding eight flights had been flown by Scott Crossfield as part of the acceptance process.

A NASA technology licensed and further developed by Psionic Inc. is being prepared to land robots and astronauts on the Moon and Mars! Learn about the Psionic Space Navigation Doppler Lidar (PSNDL) navigation system here: go.nasa.gov/4iJMrRx

On ‘cruise control’ through another critical ground test! As the X-59 continues preparing for first flight, NASA and Lockheed Martin have successfully completed a key test of the aircraft’s engine speed hold system – a feature similar to cruise control. go.nasa.gov/4hKl7kF

It's #NationalPencilDay! ✏️ We're celebrating by using our NASA pencil to draw our favorite logo! Show us your NASA sketches ⭐ Learn more about NASA Armstrong here: nasa.gov/armstrong

Pranks for the memories Kevin Petersen, the former director of NASA Armstrong, found an April Fool's surprise awaiting him #OTD in 2009: The HiMAT research aircraft was sitting in his parking space when he arrived at work…

Flying taxis? @NASAAero is working on it. Listen to our "Small Steps, Giant Leaps" podcast episode with Karen Cate, project manager for NASA's Air Mobility Pathfinders Project, to learn about the future of transporting people and cargo: go.nasa.gov/4cyI2id

NASA drone pilots are validating cutting-edge technologies that predict smoke and fire behavior, enhancing decision-making during wildland fires. Learn more here: go.nasa.gov/43J3wq1

#OTD in 1985, Space Shuttle Atlantis arrived at NASA Armstrong. Three days after the rollout ceremony, workers trucked Atlantis 36 miles overland to NASA Armstrong at Edwards Air Force Base in California’s Mojave Desert, for final preparations for its cross-country ferry flight.

Check out the X-59's Aluminum Bird Test! This test allows the aircraft to believe it's flying, even though it's actually on the ground, being given data to simulate flight conditions.✈️ Want in on the fun? Enter code ABT59 into Flight Log: go.nasa.gov/4idr1v6

It's World Breathing Day! Take a look at air crews undergoing pressure breathing training to prepare for use of the upgraded life support systems installed on the X-59 and two F-15 chase aircraft, which would be used in the event of a cabin pressure loss at high altitudes.

Moongazing while flying high above the clouds? This isn’t romance – it’s airborne science! 🌕 ✈️ Our team flew night missions to measure the sunlight reflected by the Moon, helping improve how we observe Earth. 🔗: go.nasa.gov/3GbyjSB

NASA is studying wind effects and aircraft tracking to create safer air taxi flights! We recently set up an array of sensors on the ground near NASA Armstrong, while one of the Joby Aviation experimental air taxi aircraft flew around the sensors. 🔗: go.nasa.gov/44ysNDI

Today, we're celebrating Earth as only NASA can. Shift your point of view this Earth Day and see the planet as we do from air and space.

A calibrated plan for success! NASA calibrated a second shock-sensing probe to support flight testing of the X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft. The probe will fly behind the X-59 to collect shock wave data. A second unit, flown last year, serves as a backup. 🔗:

Bright minds and boundless innovation ⭐ The 2025 Aerospace Valley Regional FIRST Robotics Competition was a hub of energy, creativity, and collaboration – and NASA Armstrong was proud to be part of it! These students weren’t just learning robotics they were gaining
