The new solar arrays on @Space_Station, iROSA, are providing power to the station with improved efficiency. ROSA technology will also help power Gateway, and the DART mission!

The ISS is a one-of-a-kind laboratory, as well as an incubator for new business, accelerating the development of a new space economy in low-Earth orbit.

Colorful bursts of energy above thunderstorms called transient luminous events can be observed from the ISS. Instruments on the station are helping scientists study these particle outbursts.

The International Space Station is well known as an orbiting laboratory, but during the past decade the station has also served a very different role - that of being a business incubator. One of its star products is the CubeSat.

The commercialization of low-Earth orbit is enabling a new market in space, while aiding NASA in its mission of exploration and discovery.

Earth observing instruments on the space station along with photography from crew members serve to keep a multifunctional eye on our home planet.

Scientists are using AMS-02 on the Space Station to study fundamental particles originating from sources up to billions of light years away. These particles may hold the key to understanding both the composition and history of our universe.

The International Space Station provides the only microgravity environment in which we can test technologies critical to our deep-space exploration in the near and far-term future.

The continuously expanding solar wind begins in our Sun and doesn’t stop until after it reaches the edge of the heliosphere.

AMS-02 is helping scientists investigate many fundamental physics questions from its place on the space station. Astronauts are conducting a series of spacewalks to perform repairs and extend the life of the observatory.
