On Dec. 24, 1968, Apollo 8 astronauts Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders became the first humans to orbit the Moon, and the first to witness the magnificent sight called “Earthrise.” As the spacecraft was in the process of rotating, Anders took this iconic picture showing Earth rising over the Moon’s horizon. In 2018, the International Astronomical Union commemorated the event by naming a 25 mile diameter crater “Anders’ Earthrise.” Relive the astronauts’ experience.

1993年12月，航天飞机任务STS-61的机载视图显示宇航员斯托里·马斯格雷夫和杰弗里·霍夫曼为修理哈勃太空望远镜而进行的机外活动（EVA）。STS-61是哈勃太空望远镜的首次服务任务。
Astronaut John W. Young, commander of the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission, leaps from the Moon’s surface as he salutes the United States flag at the Descartes landing site during the first Apollo 16 spacewalk. Astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr., lunar module pilot, took this picture on April 21, 1972. The Lunar Module Orion is on the left and beside it is the Lunar Roving Vehicle. Behind Young, in the shadow of Orion, is the Far Ultraviolet Camera/Spectrograph. Young and Duke conducted three surface excursions totaling more than 20 hours, using the Lunar Roving Vehicle for transportation. They deployed an experiment package, collected 209 pounds of rock and soil samples, and set up the first telescope on the Moon.

Our Shuttle Carrier Aircraft ferries the Space Shuttle Endeavour over the Johnson Space Center in Houston in this Sept. 20, 2012, image. Endeavour’s end destination was the California Science Center, where it sits on display. The shuttle Endeavour brought the first parts of the International Space Station to space and completed 25 missions. On its final flight to the California Science Center 10 years ago, Endeavour was escorted by a combination of F/A-18s and an F-15 from NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. Those aircraft were flown by NASA Armstrong pilots, while center photographers and videographers documented the orbiter’s final journey.

On Sept. 12, 1962, President Kennedy spoke before a crowd of 35,000 people at Rice University in Houston. During his speech, the President recommitted the nation to the Moon landing goal he proposed to Congress in May 1961, rallying the nation to land astronauts on the Moon before the end of the decade and bring the crew safely back to Earth. We will provide live coverage of the final event celebrating the 60th anniversary of this speech at noon EDT (11 a.m. CDT) on Monday, Sept. 12 on NASA Television, the NASA app, and our website.

The Voyager mission was designed to take advantage of a rare geometric arrangement of the outer planets in the late 1970s and the 1980s which allowed for a four-planet tour with a minimum of propellant and trip time. This layout of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, which occurs about every 175 years, allows a spacecraft on a particular flight path to swing from one planet to the next without the need for large onboard propulsion systems. NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft launched after Voyager 2, on a faster, shorter trajectory. This image captures that moment in Cape Canaveral, Florida on Sept. 5, 1977. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/KSC 旅行者号任务的设计目的是利用20世纪70年代末和80年代罕见的外行星几何排列，以最少的推进剂和旅行时间进行四星旅行。木星、土星、天王星和海王星的这种布局大约每175年发生一次，使航天器在特定的飞行路径上从一个行星弹射到另一个行星，而不需要大型机载推进系统。 NASA的旅行者1号航天器在旅行者2号之后发射，轨道更快更短。这张照片拍摄了1977年9月5日旅行者1号在佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角发射升空的那一刻。 影像来源：NASA/JPL-Caltech/KSC
Launched in 1977, the twin Voyager probes are NASA’s longest-operating mission and the only spacecraft ever to explore interstellar space. 45 years on, Voyager 1 and 2 continue to provide us with observations of the farthest reaches of space. Our Voyager 1 spacecraft zoomed toward Jupiter in January and February 1979, capturing hundreds of images of Jupiter during its approach, including this close-up of swirling clouds around Jupiter’s Great Red Spot.

The Apollo 11 crew simulates deploying and using lunar tools on the surface of the Moon during a training exercise on April 22, 1969. Lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin (left) uses a scoop and tongs to pick up a soil sample. Mission Commander Neil Armstrong holds a bag to receive the sample. In the background is a Lunar Module mockup. On July 16, 1969, the crew off Apollo 11, including command module pilot Michael Collins, launched into history on a journey to explore Earth’s only natural satellite. Landing on the Moon’s Mare Tranquillitatis, or Sea of Tranquility, on July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first people to walk on another terrestrial body. At 5 p.m. EDT (21:00 UTC) on July 20, 2022, NASA…
In this image from 2014, an adult osprey, carrying a fish in its talons, prepares to land in its nest atop a speaker platform in the press site parking lot at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In the background is the 209-foot-tall U.S. flag painted on the side of the 52-story Vehicle Assembly Building, which serves as the central hub of NASA’s premier multi-user spaceport, capable of hosting several different kinds of rockets and spacecraft at the same time. The parking lot borders the water of the Launch Complex 39 turn basin, making it an ideal source of food for the osprey. The undeveloped property on Kennedy Space Center is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service through the Merritt Island National Wildlife…
