This live-action video program is about the word Earth. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word Earth through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated...

A fun 3D animated learning episode to support the early years development area of understanding the world. Peter Planet is a Super Geek Hero on a mission to learn. In this mission he takes off in his super space ship and discovers the...

OSIRIS-REx is NASA's mission to explore near-earth asteroid Bennu, collect a sample, and return it to Earth. To get to Bennu, however, OSIRIS-REx must first leave the plane of Earth's orbit and match the orbital tilt of its target....

NPP is nearly ready to be launched! This video describes the final steps for this Earth-observing climate and weather satellite before it launches, currently scheduled for the morning of Oct. 28, 2011.<b<b<br/>r/>r/>

Every day of every year, NASA satellites provide useful data about our home planet, and along the way, some beautiful images as well. This video includes satellite images of Earth in 2014 from NASA and its partners as well as photos...

Space is a harsh environment, and building a space-bound satellite is no small feat. Here's a look at how NASA engineers get the Glory mission off the ground and safely into space.<br/>

A look back at the best views of our planet from space in the last year, including true color satellite images, Earth science data visualizations, time lapses from the International Space Station, and computer...

NASA is about to launch the agency's most advanced laser instrument of its kind into space. The Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2, or ICESat-2, will provide critical observations of how ice sheets, glaciers and sea...

As Elon Musk's Starlink and Jeff Bezos's Project Kuiper race to create high-speed internet using satellites orbiting Earth, there's a small problem that could get in the way: debris. From dead spacecraft that have been around since the...

No planet is better studied than the one we actually live on. NASA's fleet of Earth observing spacecraft, supported by aircraft, ships and ground observations, measure aspects of the environment that touch the lives of every...

NASA is preparing for the launch of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-O (GOES-O) from Space Launch Complex 37 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. The GOES-O launch is targeted for June 26 during a launch...

On April 24, 2018, the Hubble Space Telescope celebrated its 28th year in orbit. Even after all these years, Hubble continues to expand humanity’s knowledge of the universe. These are a few science achievements from Hubble’s latest...

Rockets follow a curved path rather than a straight line because their main objective is to enter Earth's orbit using as little fuel as possible. To get into orbit, a rocket must tilt onto its side and gradually increase the tilt until...
