Into an Aurora! On March 3, 2014, at 6:09 a.m. EST, a NASA-funded sounding rocket launched straight into an aurora over Venetie, Alaska. The Ground-to-Rocket Electrodynamics – Electron Correlative Experiment (GREECE) sounding rocket mission, which launched from Poker Flat Research Range in Poker Flat, Alaska, will study classic curls in the aurora in the night sky. The GREECE mission seeks to understand what combination of events sets up these auroral curls as they're called, in the charged, heated gas – or plasma – where aurorae form. This is a piece of information, which in turn, helps paint a picture of the sun-Earth connection and how energy and particles from the sun interact with Earth's own magnetic system, the magnetosphere.

Our aeronautics research focuses on substantially reducing fuel consumption, emissions and noise -- to make the Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NextGen, a reality. We also are tackling emerging global challenges facing aviation in the coming decades. Here NASA Dryden Flight Loads engineer William Lokos monitors a wing loading test of NASA G-III 804 during recent testing in support of the Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge, or ACTE, project.

Earth Science, Weather and Climate Change - The budget sustains NASA’s vital role in helping us understand the Earth’s systems and climate and the dynamics between our planet and the sun. This year, NASA and its international partners will launch an unprecedented five Earth science missions to find answers to critical challenges facing our planet today and in the future, including climate change, sea level rise, freshwater resources and extreme weather events. Here, NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory spacecraft is moved into a thermal vacuum chamber at Orbital Sciences Corporation's Satellite Manufacturing Facility in Gilbert, Ariz., for environmental tests.

Our American industry partners for commercial resupply of the International Space Station, SpaceX and Orbital Sciences Corp., are developing new ways to reach space, creating jobs and enabling NASA to focus on new technologies that benefit all of our missions. Pictured here, the SpaceX Dragon (left) and Orbital's Cygnus (right) on resupply missions to the station.

Asteroid Initiative! Game-changing technologies advanced by this budget support NASA’s first-ever mission to identify, capture and relocate an asteroid. This initiative represents an unprecedented technological feat -- raising the bar for human exploration and discovery, while advancing the grand challenge of protecting our home planet and bringing us closer to a human mission to one of these mysterious objects. This concept image shows an astronaut preparing to take samples from the captured asteroid after it has been relocated to a stable orbit in the Earth-moon system. Hundreds of rings are affixed to the asteroid capture bag, helping the astronaut carefully navigate the surface. Image Credit: NASA #budget #nasa #space #asteroid #fy15 #asteroids #protecttheplanet;

Source Region for Possible Europa Plumes - This reprojection of the official USGS basemap of Jupiter's moon Europa is centered at the estimated source region for potential water vapor plumes that might have been detected using the Hubble Space Telescope. The view is centered at -65 degrees latitude, 183 degrees longitude. In addition to the plume source region, the image also shows the hemisphere of Europa that might be affected by plume deposits. This map is composed of images from NASA's Galileo and Voyager missions. The black region near the south pole results from gaps in imaging coverage.

Expedition 38 crew members pose for an in-flight crew portrait in the Kibo laboratory of the International Space Station on Feb. 22, 2014. Pictured (clockwise from top center) are Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kotov, commander; Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Koichi Wakata, Russian cosmonaut Sergey Ryazanskiy, NASA astronauts Rick Mastracchio and Mike Hopkins, and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin, all flight engineers.

More #RealGravity images tonight as #Gravity is up for awards at the #Oscars2014: One of the Expedition 36 crew members aboard the International Space Station used a 50mm lens to record this image of a large mass of storm clouds over the Atlantic Ocean near Brazil and the Equator on July 4, 2013. A Russian spacecraft, docked to the orbiting outpost, partially covers a small patch of sunglint on the ocean waters in a break in the clouds.

More #RealGravity images tonight as #Gravity is up for awards at the #Oscars2014: Just how do we have these stunning images to share? Here's how -- Inside the Cupola on the International Space Station, NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, an Expedition 36 flight engineer, uses a 400mm lens on a digital still camera to photograph a target of opportunity on Earth some 250 miles below him and the space station.

More #RealGravity images tonight as #Gravity is up for awards at the #Oscars2014: Expedition 35 Flight Engineers Chris Cassidy (pictured) and Tom Marshburn (out of frame) completed the 5-hour, 30-minute spacewalk on May 11, 2013 to inspect and replace a pump controller box on the International Space Station’s far port truss leaking ammonia coolant. A leak of ammonia coolant from the area near or at the location of a Pump and Flow Control Subassembly was detected on May 9, 2013, prompting engineers and flight controllers to begin plans to support the spacewalk. The device contains the mechanical systems that drive the cooling functions for the port truss.

More #RealGravity images tonight as #Gravity is up for awards at the #Oscars2014: With his feet secured on a restraint on the space station remote manipulator system's robotic arm or Canadarm2, NASA astronaut Mike Fossum (center) holds the Robotics Refueling Mission payload, which was the focus of one of the primary chores accomplished on a six and a half hour spacewalk on July 12. The failed pump module is with DEXTRE on left side of the photo. NASA astronauts Fossum and Ron Garan performed the six-hour, 31-minute spacewalk, which represents the final scheduled extravehicular activity during shuttle missions in July 2011. Among Atlantis’s final contributions to the ISS is the Robotic Refueling Mission, developed at Goddard Space Flight Center. Atlantis brought this module to the International Space Station, where it will provide key support in maintaining future spacecrafts for years to come. STS-135 astronauts traveled to Goddard to complete special training for these robotics, a major component of the final shuttle mission.
