NASA-Funded Research Sparks a Michigan State Engineer's Path to Drone Entrepreneurship

Five years ago, Gavin Gardner was an engineering student at Michigan State University working on next-generation drone technology under a NASA grant. He had anticipated the technical demands of the project, but found the financial management side to be an even steeper challenge. Although he was accustomed to leading fellow students, handling the funding aspects required skills he had not yet developed. The experience helped shape his later direction toward building a drone business. The article details how the NASA-supported work became the starting point for his entrepreneurial journey.

Webb Captures Turbulent Star-Forming Region N159 in the Large Magellanic Cloud

NASA released a new Webb telescope image on October 22, 2026, showing a turbulent star-forming area. The region, called N159, is filled with dense clumps of gas where stars are taking shape. It lies about 161,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The region has lower metallicity, meaning it contains fewer elements heavier than hydrogen and helium than many regions in our own galaxy.

Curiosity Rover Prepares Next Drill Campaign at 'Nazca' Site on Mars

NASA's Curiosity rover is returning to a location only a few meters from the 'Chiu Chiu' block to carry out its next drilling campaign. The rover had just finished the Basque Lakes drill campaign before moving to this new spot. The 'Chiu Chiu' block itself was not considered a good candidate for drilling. The planning update was written by planetary scientist Lucy Lim at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and is dated October 16, 2026.

Perseverance Rover Data Points to Ways to Shield Astronauts From Martian Dust

NASA's Perseverance rover tracked fine and ultrafine dust on Mars over 1,645 Martian days. It measured particles clinging to spacesuit material samples carried on the rover. Some of the particles are small enough to reach the lungs and enter the bloodstream. The results are set to be published on October 27 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The findings are intended to inform how future crews can be protected from Martian dust.
