NASA Opens First Major New Wind Tunnel in Over 40 Years at Langley

NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, has inaugurated the Flight Dynamics Research Facility (FDRF), its first major new wind tunnel constructed in more than four decades. The facility takes over from two long-serving tunnels — the 12-Foot Low-Speed Tunnel and the 20-Foot Vertical Spin Tunnel — which are being retired. Langley has operated wind tunnels for over a century, using them to advance aeronautical research and shape the development of flight. The FDRF represents a significant modernization of NASA's aerodynamic testing capabilities as the agency looks toward the future of aviation.

NASA Astronaut Chris Williams Prepares for Upcoming ISS Spacewalk

NASA flight engineer Chris Williams conducted a spacesuit fitting on June 23, 2026, aboard the International Space Station in preparation for an upcoming spacewalk. ESA flight engineer Sophie Adenot assisted Williams during the session inside the station's Quest airlock. The fitting involved testing the suit's comfort, mobility, communications, and life support systems. The checks are standard procedure to ensure the astronaut's safety and equipment readiness before an extravehicular activity.

Bringing Signals to NASA

Growing up on the central California coast, watching rocket launches with his father was part of Eric Fernandez’s childhood routine. Fernandez had posters of rockets on the wall, but despite being fascinated by them, he never imagined one day this would be his career. Because both of his grandparents had served at Vandenberg Air Force […]

NASA’s PACE Mission Studies Smoke, Fires

With the North American fire season underway, and a record number of acres already burned nationwide, NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, and ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite’s three instruments are observing vegetation precursors to fires, along with plumes of smoke and their movement. This data will help scientists piece together clues that deepen their understanding of wildfires. […]
