Q: What has thousands of components, operates like a rechargeable battery, and could revolutionize the way NASA stores energy during future Moon missions?
A: The regenerative fuel cell system our researchers are testing!
It's designed to operate even during cold, dark, nearly two-week-long lunar nights — potentially powering habitats, rovers, and other essential systems.

Just some chill vibes for your feed... ❄️
With temperatures soaring nearly into the 90s today at our Cleveland center, we’re keeping it cool and looking back at these Icing Research Tunnel test time-lapses from 2017.
For more than 80 years, this Glenn facility has helped scientists study how ice affects aircraft, develop modern ice protection systems, and keep you safe when you fly!

Everybody say "Hi, LESTR" 👋
This machine at our center is helping NASA study how materials behave in super-cold environments.
Putting electronics and other flight hardware to the test at extremely low temperatures will be critical as we look to build a Moon Base near the lunar South Pole, where nights can be bitterly cold.

: Eyewitnesses in Ohio and Michigan reported a bright meteor on Monday, June 1, at 10:41p.m. EDT. The data puts first detection of the fireball above the Ohio area near Lima. The meteor moved north-northwest at approximately 49,900 mph before disintegrating above the area just west of Lansing, Michigan.

This May marked an incredible milestone: 20 years of NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation Program.
Glenn helps lead the agency in advancing capabilities that enable missions to explore farther, operate smarter, and deliver critical discoveries back to Earth.
Right here in Ohio, our teams are commercializing low Earth orbit space relay services and developing cutting-edge technology that will keep our astronauts safe and connected on the lunar surface!
