The focus of r/NASA is primarily around NASA itself and the work it does. Submissions and comments should reflect that focus.
Drawings/artwork, astrophotography (not from NASA), pictures of Legos, memes, screenshots, image macros, etc. are generally not permitted. Images should be direct links to the original NASA image whenever possible, otherwise a source for the image must be provided in the comments. Submitted images with requests for identification ("what is this?") will be removed.
Certain exceptions are made on Creative Sunday, please see the wiki page for details.
Video submissions must come from an official source (ie.. NASA or ESA). Other content may be approved at the discretion of moderators. Links to the "NASA live stream - Earth From Space LIVE Feed | Incredible ISS live stream of earth from space" or similar videos (including UFO videos, etc.) will be removed and posters subject to a ban.
Posts/comments linking to fundraising, merchant, or petition sites (e.g. kickstarter, Amazon, change.org, etc.) are not permitted.
Clickbait, conspiracy theories, and similar posts will be removed. Offenders are subject to permanent ban.
Duplicate posts of the same event/subject will be removed.
Links to blogs or similar sites that are primarily just reposting content from an original source (e.g.nasa.gov) are prohibited.
Low-effort posts will be removed. Examples of low-effort posts are those which can be easily found with an Internet search (e.g., “When did Apollo 11 launch?”).
All posts and comments must use "Safe For School" language and content.
Please keep all comments civil. Personal attacks, insults, etc. against any person or group, regardless of whether they are participating in a conversation, are prohibited.

The NASA ARSET Program is offering a free training program on Remote Sensing on December 3rd and December 5th from 2pm to 3:30pm eastern time.
Course Description:
Nature-based climate solutions are an increasingly critical component of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions to meet the Paris Agreement goal of keeping temperature change to below 2-degrees celsius. Blue carbon ecosystems, such as mangroves, salt marshes, and sea grasses, are a key aspect of nature-based climate solutions because of high carbon sequestration rates, long-term burial of carbon in sediments, potential for restoration, and connections to many additional ecosystem services.
This training builds from a series of previous trainings on Remote Sensing of Coastal Ecosystems, Remote Sensing of Mangroves, Remote Sensing of Greenhouse Gases, and Remote Sensing of Carbon Monitoring for Terrestrial Ecosystems to provide a comprehensive overview of blue carbon ecosystem remote sensing. The course will guide participants through mapping extent and quantifying the carbon stocks of blue carbon ecosystems using earth observations to support assessment, monitoring and restoration goals of these ecosystems.
Hello!
I've been researching and starting a digital recreation of skylab, interior and exterior.
I've had a lot of trouble finding anything publicly available apart from basic section bounding dimensions, a relatively small set of photos and 3/4ths cutaway views in technical overviews/operations handbooks
Most of my effective research so far has really only come from
https://ntrs.nasa.gov/
https://images.nasa.gov/
And a fantastic set of scale model diagrams by
https://www.realspacemodels.com/
I'm also planning to visit NASM and Houston for Skylab-B and the 1g trainer to gather reference in a few months.
Are there any resources that you all would recommend?
And for a specific question that may help me short term photo matching:
Does anyone know the exact dimensions of the floor & wall grate perforations (ie ID and CC Mounting hole distances)?
I know there are major issues in spaceflight related to interpersonal tensions among astronauts and anxiety and depression due to the conditions of spaceflight. Are these as big of concerns as issues related to radiation and as muscle wastage?
Chamber A in JSC building 32 is an amazing sight. I’ve been lucky enough to see it myself (sadly, from outside the clean room) and it is awesome. JSC employees should go see this historical spot if they can.
So when we were building the SLWT external tank, the new aluminum lithium 2195 alloy had to be tested. We made a tank that was one ET barrel section with et domes. Lots of instrumentation. Final test was taking the barrel to failure. It was going to rupture. Well, it didn't just rupture, it went boom in a spectacular fashion. Everyone was walking the fields and working the test stand for days picking up pieces of the ALTA tank. Here are some of the fragments. West test area, MSFC. 1996.

This gives me the shivers...As a pilot, I love speed but this is darn scary speed...William John "Pete" Knight set a world absolute aircraft speed record for manned aircraft when he piloted the X-15A-2 to 4,520 miles per hour, or Mach 6.72, almost seven times the speed of sound. A speed record that still stands to this date. Knight also became one of only five pilots to earn their Astronaut Wings by flying an airplane to an altitude over 280,500 feet.

I do not get to the NASA side of Reddit too often and I hope the admins will find this video link OK. It is a short video I made about Jeanette Epps's recent trip to, stay on, and return from the ISS. It also includes an unexpected (to me) history lesson associated with the music I set the video to.
Admins/Moderators: This video is on my NON-monetized YouTube channel. I do these videos for fun and self-learning of my editing software. I hope that it falls under the the "other [video] content that may be approved at the discretion of moderators" exception for videos.
Today while working at my restaurant, we were visited by NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren. A super awesome and friendly guy. Gave me a signed autograph, patch and sticker. And even signed a copy for a friend too.
Hi all, the EHDC video stream is no longer available since Nov 15th. Any info regarding its return and-or the reasons for this interruption would be really interesting. Thanks
