No GPS? No problem. Optical navigation helps you find your way using data from cameras or sensors! Teams NASA Goddard are advancing the tech by developing new ways of 3D environment modeling, navigation using photography, and deep learning image analysis. go.nasa.gov/4fGM4pT

🌟Happy National Radio Day!📡✨ NASA’s Deep Space Network is critical to space exploration, allowing us to communicate with spacecraft millions of miles away. This incredible network of giant radio antennas connects us to the cosmos and makes it possible to explore the unknown!

Happy #WomensEqualityDay! We're celebrating the amazing contributions made every day by WomenNASA. 🩷 Be inspired by the stories of the women in STEM helping @NASA push boundaries to achieve our ambitious goals. nasa.gov/careers/women-…

Today, we unveiled NASA's new strategy to harness the power of microgravity for the benefit of all—and we want your insight! Help us as we embark on this new chapter of human presence in low Earth orbit. Submit your comments on our draft strategy by 9/27. go.nasa.gov/3yXW0dV

Hot signals in your area!! 📡 📡 📡 Well, they aren't exactly warm.... and you can't actually see them with your eyes... but the Near Space Network's radio frequency signals help us gather data from satellites in space - including the International Space Station and Hubble!

Our Deep Space Network station in Madrid, Spain is communicating with Voyager 1 right now! eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html #DeepSpaceNetwork

ATTN: STEM teachers! 🔬🍎 NASA’s App Development Challenge seeks middle and high school coding teams to create an app in partnership with the NASA Artemis II mission, where NASA will be sending humans back to the Moon. Register by Sept. 25 to join: go.nasa.gov/3Tf2OuM

Beam me up? We're not quite sending people or animals as particles yet, but this summer, the NASA Laser Communications Relay Demonstration used laser beams to send pictures of pets from Earth to the International Space Station. Happy Star Trek Day! 🖖 go.nasa.gov/4cUNkmz

Coding is cool: just ask Team Frostbyte, a NASA App Development Challenge (ADC) finalist! ❄️😎 The ADC is searching for STEM leaders! Register by Sept. 25 for this year's challenge, and read about 2024 finalist Team Frostbyte's journey to NASA's Johnson Space Center. go.nasa.gov/3zbJA2d
