Astronaut Scholarship Foundation

Astronaut Scholarship Foundation Created by 6 surviving Mercury 7 astronauts, ASF provides scholarships to college students in STEM.

The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation exists to help the United States retain its position of leadership in innovation by encouraging students to pursue advanced educations and careers in the STEM fields. We do this by awarding scholarships to the best and brightest minds and by building a mentoring network that allows our Astronaut Scholars to connect with astronauts, each other, and innovative te

đź“Ť Launch Complex 39A, Kennedy Space Center

What is NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope? Named after NASA’s first chief astronomer, this telescope will have a field of view at least 100 times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope, potentially measuring light from a billion galaxies in its lifetime.

Don’t miss your chance to witness another incredible step forward in space technology—right from the Space Coast!

It actually IS rocket science! 🚀

The next generation of engineers, innovators and explorers is getting ready to launch with NASA’s Student Launch Challenge.

This hands-on, 9-month challenge gives students in grades 6–12 and college and university teams the opportunity to design, build, test and launch high-powered rockets carrying scientific or engineering payloads. Teams experience the engineering process firsthand, work alongside NASA and aerospace industry experts, and ultimately put their designs to the test in Huntsville, Alabama.

It’s more than a rocket launch—it’s an opportunity to turn curiosity into innovation and inspire the STEM leaders of tomorrow. 🌎

60 years ago yesterday, on August 10, 1966, NASA’s Lunar Orbiter 1 began its journey to the Moon. 🌙

As the first U.S. spacecraft to orbit the Moon, NASA's Lunar Orbiter 1 captured detailed images of the lunar surface that helped scientists identify and verify potential landing sites for the upcoming Surveyor and Apollo missions.

A mission that helped pave the way for humanity’s first steps on the Moon! 🌕✨
