Official hub for NASA missions, space news, media, and learning.

NASA.gov is the main public website for the U.S. space agency, covering current missions, research programs, launches, discoveries, and agency news. It also gathers public multimedia, live coverage, educational materials, topic explainers, and Spanish-language content across space science, Earth science, aeronautics, and technology.

Why it stands out

  • Primary source for NASA announcements, mission updates, and public-facing agency information.
  • Unusually broad coverage spanning space exploration, Earth science, aeronautics, technology, education, and agency operations.
  • Large multimedia ecosystem, including live coverage, image collections, podcasts, NASA+ programming, and 3D assets.
  • Strong education and public-engagement sections for students, teachers, families, and event organizers.
  • Includes both high-level public explainers and pathways into more specialized NASA mission and research pages.

Good to know

  • Coverage reflects NASA’s programs and perspective, so it is not a neutral comparison source for all space activity worldwide.
  • The site is large and distributed; technical datasets, mission archives, and research portals may live on separate NASA sub-sites.
  • Some content is written for general audiences, while deeper scientific or engineering detail often requires following links to specialized pages.

Under the radar: Use the A-to-Z mission list when a homepage story is too broad; it often leads to a dedicated mission page with status updates, spacecraft details, timelines, and archived coverage in one place.
