To propel a spacecraft with fuel, you need a lot of it. ⛽ But NASA Glenn is working on ways to use energy from the Sun to create a bigger push, without adding more fuel. In this short video, Jacqueline explains how this could help save weight and open up new possibilities for deep space missions. The better we get at turning power into motion, the faster, safer, and more reliable our journeys can be — from Cleveland to the cosmos. ️ Credit: NASA/Lily Hammel | NASA's Glenn Research Center

NASA's first space photos restored in stunning detail 👩🏻‍🚀📸 ON 20 February 1962, @NASA astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth, but there were signs of trouble. As Glenn’s Friendship 7 spacecraft returned from its historic flight, a warning light indicated its heat shield had unlatched, risking complete incineration. This image captures Glenn at the moment he reenters Earth’s atmosphere, pieces of the burning spacecraft casting a fiery orange glow on his face. Fortunate
