This visualization tracks the trajectory of the Voyager 1 spacecraft through the solar system. Launched on September 5, 1977, it was one of two spacecraft sent to visit the giant planets of the outer solar system. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn before being directed out of the solar system.
To fit the 40 year history of the mission into a short visualization, the pacing of time accelerates through most of the movie, starting at about 5 days per second at the beginning and speeding up to about 11 months per second after the planet flybys are past.
The termination shock and heliopause are the 'boundaries' created when the plasma between the stars interacts with the plasma flowing outward from the Sun. They are represented with simple grid models and oriented so their 'nose' is pointed in the direction (Right Ascension = 17h 24m, declination = 17 degrees south) represented by more recent measurements from other missions. https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4139 Credit: NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYNIsgDrIRE
Every element of NASA’s Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System rocket, and ground systems is now at Kennedy Space Center -- the final stop on planet Earth before the uncrewed Artemis I mission around the Moon. These critical components are being primed for flight through final assembly, stacking, and fueling operations. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, the Artemis I flight test will provide a foundation for human deep space exploration, and demonstrate our commitment and capability to extend human existence to the Moon and beyond.

2020 was historic for NASA. We launched humans to the International Space Station from America again, made progress on our plans to return humans to the Moon and explore Mars, had an unprecedented encounter with an asteroid, and displayed perseverance and resilience in space and on Earth … all, while helping the country deal with a global crisis. Here’s a look back at highlights from those and other things we did this year at NASA.

Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 53 Commander Randy Bresnik and Flight Engineers Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba of NASA discussed life and research aboard the orbital outpost during a pair of in-flight interviews Nov. 22 with the Soldiers TV Network and Marines Media organization. Bresnik, who is a retired Marine Colonel, is in the final weeks of his five-and-a-half-month mission on the station, while Vande Hei, a former Army Colonel, and Acaba, a former Marine reservist, will remain aboard the complex until late February.

How did rocky planets form? We're launching a mission to find out.
NASA’s Psyche spacecraft is preparing to lift off on Oct. 5 to embark on a 2.2-billion-mile journey to a unique metal-rich asteroid named Psyche. The mission could help us understand the early formation of rocky planets in our solar system, like Earth.
Join experts on Wednesday, Aug. 23, for an opportunity to learn more about Psyche. Submit your questions in the live chat using #AskNASA for a chance to have them answered live during the show.

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine delivered a keynote address April 9 during the 35th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado. During his speech, Bridenstine outlined NASA’s accelerated plans to send American astronauts to the Moon’s South Pole by 2024. The president’s direction from Space Policy Directive-1 galvanizes NASA’s return to the Moon and builds on progress on the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, collaborations with U.S industry and international partners, and knowledge gained from current robotic assets at the Moon and Mars.
