• We are the Explorers 2017
  Why do we explore? Simply put, it is part of who we are, and it is something we have done throughout our history.
• PREPARING AMERICA FOR DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION
  NASA’s Orion, Space Launch System (SLS) and Ground Systems Development & Operations (GSDO) Programs, which together are developing and building the spacecraft, rocket and infrastructure necessary to send humans to deep space destinations, have made important strides so far in 2017.
• Learning Space On The Ground
  NASA’s Johnson Space Center is about to achieve another milestone: completion of the first 45-day-long spaceflight analog of four crew members in a habitat on the ground.
• MISSON 1 ~ VIDEO
  In the next eight minutes, you’ll experience a twenty-five-and-a-half-day mission from roll-out to recovery of the first integrated flight test of NASA’s Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System rocket, launching from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This uncrewed mission will be the first in a planned series of exploration missions beyond the moon, signaling what astronauts who dare to operate in deep space will experience on future flights.
• NASA at Mars: 20 years of 24/7 exploration
  No one under 20 has experienced a day without NASA at Mars. The Pathfinder mission, carrying the Sojourner rover, landed on Mars on July 4, 1997. In the 20 years since Pathfinder's touchdown, eight other NASA landers and orbiters have arrived successfully, and not a day has passed without the United States having at least one active robot on Mars or in orbit around Mars.
• The Many Faces of Mars
  Earth has more in common with Mars than you may think.
• The Curiosity Rover Landing
• Curiosity’s First Five Years of Science on Mars
  Five years ago Curiosity landed safely on Mars t see if life could be supported on Mars.
