Stardust was the first spacecraft to return a cometary sample and extraterrestrial material from outside the orbit of the Moon to Earth.
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx is the first U.S. mission to successfully collect a sample from an asteroid. On Oct. 20, 2020, the spacecraft briefly touched down on Bennu, an asteroid more than 200 million miles (321 million kilometers) from Earth, and grabbed dust and rocks from a sample site called Nightingale.
With the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. We will collaborate with our commercial and international partners and establish sustainable exploration by the end of the decade.

New data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has stumped scientists. JWST recently spotted six galaxies from our universe’s infancy that are very different from other galaxies from the same era. Instead of being small and populated with young blue stars as scientists predicted, these six “impossible” star systems
Women have been making impacts in their fields for years and the aerospace community is no exception. Check out the fun facts below about some of aerospace’s incredible women! Peggy Whitson became the first female space station commander in April 2008 during Expedition 16. The first woman credited with discovering
NASA’s Lucy mission has grown beyond its original parameters of studying the Trojan asteroids. In January 2023, a near-Earth asteroid called Dinkinesh was added to Lucy’s roster. The name “Dinkinesh” is Ethiopian for Lucy which translates to “you are marvelous.” Although the asteroid is small – under a kilometer in
