STEM in 30 is an online science educational program for middle school students produced by the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. Each episode features special guests and different science, math, engineering or technology topics.

Today, space debris has become the nightmare of telecommunications operators and space agencies. Since the beginning of the conquest of space at the end of the 1950s, the number of spacecraft launches has multiplied. Many of them, now useless, wander above the Earth and sometimes collide. Satellites carrying nuclear charges, stages or tanks of launchers have already fallen back to Earth, without causing any casualties until now. Faced with the danger, space actors are now constantly monitoring the clouds of waste, ready to divert their satellites or installations in an emergency.

New Horizons is the first mission to the Kuiper Belt, a giant zone of icy bodies and mysterious small objects orbiting beyond Neptune. This region also known as the "Third" zone of our solar system, beyond the inner rocky planets and outer gas giants. John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, in Maryland, designed, built and operates the Bew Horizons space craft and manages the mission for NASA's Science Missions directorate in Washington. The Year of Pluto - NASA New Horizon is a one hour documentary that takes on the hard science and gives us the answers to how the mission came about and why it matters. New Horizons is part of the New Frontiers Program managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Explore the expanses of space.

Did you know that we can detect tiny organisms called phytoplankton from space? These creatures affect the colors of the ocean, and NASA's PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud Ocean Ecosystem) satellite can see those colors in fine detail. Join NASA's chief scientist Kate Calvin as she explores the PACE mission in depth with oceanographers Ivona Cetinic and Bridget Seegers.

A 360-degree immersive virtual reality (VR) viewing experience, featuring exclusive astronaut training footage from NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) in Houston, Texas. The stunning NASA VR/360 video, produced by Harmonic, offers a variety of perspectives - in the pool and out - as astronauts complete space-walk training for future missions to the International Space Station (ISS).

Twenty years ago astronomers discovered the first planet around a sun-like star, 51 Pegasi b. This is the story of the pioneers in planet-hunting and how those who have followed are closer to answering one of humanity's most ancient questions: Is there life elsewhere in the universe?

On this episode of The Rocket Ranch Podcast, we remember Challenger, her crew, and their survivors, and how we carry forward the lessons NASA learned with the director of the Apollo Challenger Columbia Lessons Learned Program. NASA's vision is to educate the public about important lessons to help others avoid accidents.

A group of kids come back from Trick-or-Treating, and are excited to find they have received a lot of NASA Candy - all except one of them.

Something happened 100 years ago that changed forever the way we fly, the way we explore space and how we study our home planet. That something was the establishment of what is now NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, which commemorates its 100th anniversary on July 17, 2017. Astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first human to step foot on the moon and who learned how to do so by training at Langley said, "If a competition were held to determine the organization that had accomplished the largest number of advancements to aeronautic and aerospace progress, my nomination would be this place."

NASA and industry are studying technology that will reduce the noise associated with sonic booms to the point where aircraft flying over populated areas at supersonic speeds do not disturb the peace.
