In Case You Missed It: A Summary of This Year's Top Content from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center

2016 Year in Review

Editor's Note: In this week's special edition of NASA Marshall Space Flight Center's In Case You Missed It newsletter, we take a look back at some of our biggest stories from 2016. The ICYMI newsletter will take a break over the holidays and return January 6, 2017. For Marshall news and updates during the break, check out Marshall's webpage, and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.


 

NASA's Journey to Mars Runs Through Marshall

Playing a critical role in NASA's Journey to Mars, talented teams of engineers and technicians at Marshall are designing and building NASA’s Space Launch System, the most powerful rocket ever built and the only launch vehicle capable of launching human explorers to Mars.


 

Marshall is 'Science Central' for the International Space Station

Marshall is home to the Payload Operations and Integration Center -- the command center for all science operations on the International Space Station. Flight controllers at Marshall are on the clock 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to ensure successful space station science operations to benefit people on Earth and to solve the challenges humans will face during the long journey to the Red Planet.


 

At Marshall, Technology Drives Exploration

Marshall team members work together across scientific and engineering disciplines to design, develop, integrate, test and operate technologies for complex rockets, spacecraft systems and science instruments that enable scientific discovery and the human exploration of space.


 

Marshall Investigates Earth's Critical Challenges

Marshall plays a critical role in discovering more about the place we call home. With satellites and airborne missions, Marshall researchers help address some of the critical challenges facing our planet today and in the future, including climate change, sea level rise, freshwater resources and extreme weather events.


 

Marshall Researchers and Programs Explore the Solar System and Beyond

NASA’s exploration spans the universe. Marshall researchers and programs are involved in a broad array of heliophysics, astrophysics and planetary science investigations, ranging from the smallest nanosatellites and suborbital sounding rockets to management of great orbiting observatories and interplanetary spacecraft.


 

Marshall Inspires, Educates the Next Generation of Explorers

Marshall is devoted to inspiring future generations of explorers, including those who will be the first to put boots on Mars and beyond. Collaborations with a diverse array of outside partners are yielding innovative technologies and solving technical challenges that make the Journey to Mars possible.
