Want to learn how data from NASA's #Quesst mission w/the #X59 may turn the speed limit in the sky to a sound limit, potentially cutting flight times in half? 🗳️Vote for our #SXSW panel, "NASA’s Quesst to Change the Supersonic Speed Limit" by Aug. 18: panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/152664

Before the X-59 is runway ready for its first flight, @NASAAero's quieter supersonic aircraft is undergoing critical tests and inspections. Get the latest news on the X-59 as it moves closer to its first flight: go.nasa.gov/4crMTjh

Today we're celebrating #NationalAviationDay by highlighting some of our aeronautical innovators who work to safely transform aviation & serve the public good. ✈️ Here are some of their stories & ideas on how you can celebrate National Aviation Day too: nasa.gov/national-aviat…

Happy #NationalAviationDay ✈️ Meet Lori Ozoroski, Commercial Supersonic Technology project manager. She's on the team working to change the physics of a sonic boom to make it quieter 🤫 🎧 Listen to this podcast episode for more Lori: go.nasa.gov/3X9hqxR

"When I think about aeronautics, it’s the fact that something so heavy could fly so gracefully in the sky." On this #NationalAviationDay ✈️ Meet Brandon Sells, NASA Langley Research Center engineer: go.nasa.gov/3WPi9D3

On this #NationalAviationDay✈️ meet Derek Bramble, "My story goes to show that regardless of one’s background & skillsets, there’s a place for anyone+everyone at NASA & there’s considerable room to learn & grow here if you have the interest." More Derek: go.nasa.gov/3WRFjZx

Without wheels or legs that could get stuck into the dirt or rubble around them, amorphous robots can be incredibly useful in emergency and industrial activities where traditional robots might not be up to the task. Learn more NASA Langley’s work to maximize the potential use of

Robots inspired by nature? In our new podcast episode we discuss a newer field of robotics engineering that takes inspiration from animal movements – Soft Robotics. Jim Neilan, Project Manager and Software Engineer NASA Langley Research Center, joins us. Listen!: go.nasa.gov/3SWGUMy

Dorothy Vaughan's journey at NASA began in 1943, when she worked at NASA Langley's Aeronautical Laboratory. One of NASA’s famous “Hidden Figures,” Vaughan’s leadership helped make history and established her legacy as a trailblazer. This incredible legacy was honored last

Sail deployment achieved! Our Advanced Composite Solar Sail System has successfully unfurled its sail & will use sunlight for propulsion as it orbits Earth, testing next-generation technologies that will help enable future missions at the Moon & beyond: go.nasa.gov/3XovKTm

Just in time for a Labor Day “sail”, NASA’s Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3) has successfully deployed! Solar sail propulsion systems like ACS3 can make future low-cost deep space missions possible. Learn more about the ACS3 mission to fly using the power of the

What's up for September? 🌕 FIVE planets in the dawn and evening skies, and a Sept. 17 supermoon with a partial lunar eclipse. Plus, don't forget about #InternationalObserveTheMoonNight on Sept. 14! More skywatching tips: go.nasa.gov/37ePy0B

🧗🏼‍♀️➕🛩️🟰😍 Rock climbing after work and calculating aerospace statistics before lunch is the equation for a perfect day as far as NASA Langley mathematician Laura White is concerned. White is a part of the crew transforming aviation as NASA and communities verify that the X-59

Hey #AvGeeks, new aircraft livery alert! Introducing magniX's research vehicle that will demonstrate #hybrid #electric propulsion capabilities for future commercial aircraft under our NASA EPFD project. Go behind the scenes of the unveiling ceremony: go.nasa.gov/4dLzmoc

Time to set sail! ⛵️🌍 Our Solar Sail System is sailing around Earth, slowly tumbling as expected while the mission team characterizes its boom and sails. Want to #SpotTheSail? Use our tracking tool in the NASA app for a chance to see ACS3 passing overhead in the night sky.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s our Advanced Composite Solar Sail System! Want to #SpotTheSail? Use the #NASA_App to find out when it will next be visible to you. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4cYyNpR

NASA’s Advanced Composite Solar Sail System is cruising around Earth, orbiting the planet, and you can catch a glimpse! Download the NASA app to see if ACS3 is sailing through the skies near you: go.nasa.gov/3XBz0Ld

Thanks for visiting, Administrator Bill Nelson!

In less than a month, the journey begins. NASA Europa Clipper is a mission crafted with one overarching goal: determine if Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, has conditions suitable for life. #EuropaClipper’s launch window opens on Oct. 10. Dive in: europa.nasa.gov
