Visitors to the NASA Task Book can view project descriptions, annual progress, final reports, and bibliographical listings of publications resulting from NASA-funded studies in Space Biology, Physical Sciences, and Human Research. Visitors can also learn about the potential impact of these studies and the anticipated benefits that such research could offer to Earth.
In this picture, the glowing blue ball at the center of the round vacuum chamber window is a cloud of laser cooled strontium atoms that form the heart of an ultra-precise "multiplexed" optical atomic clock, which consists of many clocks in one.

Subset of lettuce plants ‘Outredgeous’ and ‘Rex’ grown in two types of lunar regolith simulants (JSC-1A and OPRH4W30), with or without nutrient supplementation. Plants grown in two additional growing substrates (rockwool and peat/perlite) supplemented with nutrients were also included as controls. C...
The Orion Flywheel is a custom exercise device that will allow for both aerobic (rowing) and resistance exercises for crewmembers on future Artemis lunar exploration missions. Its user-driven loading mechanism has not been validated on spaceflight missions previously, and NASA researchers hope to un...
