For more than a week, a response team from NASA’s Earth Science Disasters Program has worked to complement efforts by NASA to provide data on the storm itself, such as a view that shows the layers of the storm, as seen by an experimental NASA weather satellite. The agency's Earth satellites and aircraft have a unique ability to watch as storms form, travel across the ocean and, sometimes, make landfall, while giving details on a hurricane's heavy rain, cloud height and wind.  See views of Hurricane Dorian from a camera outside the International Space Station orbiting 250 miles above the Earth and more.

To access and extract that water, NASA needs new innovative technologies that we look to students to create for the next era of space exploration.

A dedicated work force that will ensure Artemis, NASA's next lunar exploration program, will be safe, sustainable and successful. NASA photographers Bill Ingalls, Aubrey Gemignani and Joel Kowsky spent this summer creating portraits of a few of the people — old hands and new — who will get the Artemis program off the ground, literally. We're not just bringing astronauts back to the Moon but preparing them to go to Mars. View Our Artemis Portraits Want to join our team?
