    NASA Explorers Season 6, Episode 3: TAG

    It was Touch-and-Go there for a few seconds…literally!

    OSIRIS-REx had only six seconds to collect a sample of asteroid Bennu – in a maneuver called TAG, or Touch-and-Go – while the #NASAExplorers behind the mission waited anxiously from 200 million miles away.

  • NASA Explorers Season 5, Episode 4: The South Pole

    NASA Explorers Season 5, Episode 4: The South Pole

    When Artemis astronauts land on the Moon, they’ll travel to sites never before visited by humans. Namely, they’ll explore the South Pole region, home to the Moon’s largest crater, areas of near-constant light and deep shadows, and some of the coldest temperatures in the solar system.

    Exploring the South Pole will teach us more about the Moon’s history, as well as the history of our solar system. It’s home to frozen water, which is crucial for living sustainably on the lunar surface and exploring deeper into the solar system.

    Artemis astronauts will explore the Moon on behalf of all of us and bring back lunar rocks and soil for analyses by generations of scientists who will help us gain unimaginable insights into our cosmic history.

    NASA Explorers Season 5, Episode 3: Space School

    Before Jessica Watkins was an astronaut, she was a geologist. Now working on the International Space Station, Jessica and her fellow astronauts are preparing to explore the Moon and beyond.

    But collecting and investigating rocks on other worlds is very different from digging dirt here on Earth. That’s where tools engineer Adam Naids comes in. Tools designed for Earth geologists may not work in the lower gravity and extreme temperatures of the Moon, and that’s before you bring in the bulky spacesuits! NASA Explorers come together at space school to train astronauts to conduct science on the Moon.

    NASA Science Live: Modern-Day Explorers Search for Life Beyond Earth

    Is there life beyond Earth? NASA has been sending spacecraft to the far reaches of our solar system in search of an answer. But extreme forms of life on our own planet might reveal secrets of how life could form beyond Earth. Meet two NASA women who have ventured on remote expeditions and traversed Earth’s most extreme landscapes in the name of science and astrobiology. Send in your questions using #askNASA on Wednesday, March 31 at 3:00 p.m. EST, and tune in to hear from host and science communicator Kellie Gerardi.

    Dr. Darlene Lim blends her field science research with future human-robotic spaceflight concepts to the Moon and Mars. She’s gone for runs on 6 out of the 7 continents on Earth.

    Dr. Jackie Goordial looks for life in extreme environments to understand its limits, and where and how we could find life beyond Earth. Despite doing research at sea for weeks, she still gets very seasick and didn’t learn how to swim until later in life.

    As the planet warms, fire seasons burn year-round and more areas are becoming flammable. #NASAExplorers are studying how fires are changing with the climate, and tracking how landscapes change after fires. With satellite data, people on the ground and partners with communities and agencies around the planet, #NASAExplorers are helping prepare for the “new normal” of fires on Earth. #S3E5

    NASA Explorers S3 E4: Chasing Clouds

    “Earth science is a subject far too big for one country, one agency, to tackle all by itself.” So #NASAExplorers team up with researchers from around the country and the planet to answer some big questions about fires, clouds and climate from the Western Pacific, where we still have a lot to learn about the interaction between fires and cloud formation. #S3E4

  • NASA Explorers S3 E3: The Carbon Problem

    NASA Explorers S3 E3: The Carbon Problem

    In the Arctic, fires are a natural part of the ecosystem. But as the climate changes, fires are burning longer and hotter, releasing long-buried carbon from the soil. #NASAExplorers are looking from high in the sky to deep below the ground to better understand how a warming climate affects fires in the Arctic…and how fires in the region will contribute to climate change in the future. #S3E3

    Chasing smoke is a round-the-clock business. Wildfire smoke can travel long distances and over several days, so #NASAExplorers with the Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air Quality (FIREX-AQ) mission took to the field to find where it goes. From a plane directly above the Shady Fire in the middle of the afternoon to a valley in the Sawtooth Mountains at 1 in the morning, explorers are gathering important data about how fire smoke affects communities near and far. #S3E2

    NASA Explorers S3 E1: Seeing Through Smoke

    To understand fires on Earth, you need a broad view — spanning from the poles to the equator and looking from high above the planet to down deep under the soil. That’s where #NASAExplorers come in! With satellites, with airplanes, with their own hands and with a data record spanning decades, Explorers are studying how our planet burns… and how that burning changes with the climate. This season, we’re headed to the western Pacific Ocean to the Northwest Territories and beyond to look fires on Earth.
