Enjoy this behind-the-scenes look into the flight control room at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center! 👀

The Crossflow Attenuated Natural Laminar Flow (CATNLF) technology was originally developed at NASA Langley. We're excited for it to continue to advance through flight tests!

Big congrats to NASA astronauts Luke Delaney and Jessica Watkins for being named to NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission! 🎉

We’re extra proud of Luke, who worked as a research pilot here at Langley supporting airborne science missions prior to being selected as a NASA astronaut in 2021. Luke will now pilot his first spaceflight.

The Langley team couldn’t be happier!

After nearly a year of modifications in Texas, NASA’s Boeing 777 has arrived at Langley!✈️

This airborne science laboratory went through adjustments to install new instrument portals, advanced wiring, and widened research windows. These additions help support next-generation Earth science instruments, such as LiDAR and infrared spectrometers, and will allow us to better understand our home planet. 🌎❤️

Every second counts in the life-saving world of organ transplants.

NASA Langley is teaming up with the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) to explore faster, more reliable ways to transport donor organs using advanced aviation technologies.

By studying how drones could help reduce delays, especially in congested or hard-to-reach areas, this collaboration aims to improve delivery timelines and potentially save lives.

The Artemis II launch window is right around the corner! 🚀

NASA astronaut Victor Glover tells us about the importance of the Launch Abort System (LAS) aboard the Space Launch System (SLS).

The LAS is an incredibly important safety measure used to propel the Orion crew module away from the SLS in the event of an emergency. NASA Langley managed the development of the LAS and delivered more than 90 tons of custom hardware used in Ascent Abort 2, a successful LAS flight test.

Look out for more of Langley’s contributions to the Artemis II Mission! 🌙
