    🛰️🌙 A small but mighty navigation system has entered the chat. NASA delivered the NavCube3-mini payload to Intuitive Machines for integration into the lunar relay, Altus-1. This 3.5-pound receiver will use Earth-based signals to provide navigation support at the Moon.📡

    Big ideas start here. 🚀 NASA's 2026 NIAC Phase I selections explore bold concepts that could shape the future of space exploration — from lunar underground explorers and advanced solar sails to new ways of studying exoplanets and Saturn's rings. See the full list:

The montage includes concepts such as a spacecraft exploring Saturn, astronauts working on the lunar surface, a robotic rover descending into a lunar pit, advanced communications and sensing technologies, a solar observation mission, satellite formations, and other futuristic spacecraft and planetary exploration systems arranged in diagonal panels.

    How about designing code that can help shape the future of in-space servicing infrastructure? Registration for the NASA Space Roboticist Challenge is officially open! Compete for allocated time on the FFR mission’s robotic arm. Let’s upgrade robotics in space together:

The words "NASA Space Roboticist Challenge" appear in large white and gold text above and below a white robotic arm icon centered in the badge. A row of small yellow diamonds separates the title from the robotic arm graphic.

    Imagine if you had a robotic sidekick to help explore the cosmos! 🦾 Now you can with NASA’s upcoming demonstration mission, Fly Foundational Robots (FFR), which will test a highly capable commercial robotic arm in low Earth orbit that will handle and swap payloads in space -
