Preparations for Next Moonwalk Simulations Underway (and Underwater)
The engineering club from Palmdale High School in Palmdale, California, visits NASA’s Armstrong Research Flight Center in Edwards, California. The students took a group photo in front of the historic X-1E aircraft on display at the center.NASA/Genaro Vavuris A group of enthusiastic high school students recently visited NASA to learn about facilities and capabilities that enable the agency’s researchers to explore, innovate, and inspire for the benefit of humanity.
Engineering club students from Palmdale High School in California were able to connect classroom lessons to real-world applications, sparking curiosity and ambition while at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. “I learned a lot about the different careers that you can get at a place like NASA,” student Roberto Cisnero said.
Through partnerships with the regional STEM community, NASA’s STEM Engagement provides local students with hands-on opportunities aligned with NASA’s missions. “Many students do not get the opportunity to be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Part of our NASA mission is to be that encourager,” said Randy Thompson, deputy director for NASA Armstrong Research and Engineering.
Highlights from the visit included demonstrations at a mission control room, the Subscale Flight Research Laboratory, the Flight Loads Laboratory, and the Experimental Fabrication Shop, all of which support high-risk, atmospheric flight research and test projects. Students engaged with laboratory technicians, engineers, and program managers, asking questions about the work they do. “It was fun to see what the valued people at NASA do with all of the resources,” student Jonathan Peitz said.
NASA’s California Office of STEM Engagement hosted the visit in celebration of National Aviation History Month. By supporting students, educators, and expanding STEM participation, NASA aims to inspire future leaders and build a diverse, skilled workforce.

The agency’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission is targeting launch on Wednesday, March 12, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The launch will carry NASA astronauts Anne McClain as commander and Nichole Ayers as pilot, along with JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov as mission specialists. This is the first spaceflight for Ayers and Peskov, and the second mission to the orbiting laboratory for McClain and Onishi.
Media accreditation deadlines for the Crew-10 launch as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program are as follows:
International media without U.S. citizenship must apply by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 13. U.S. media and U.S. citizens representing international media organizations must apply by 11:59 p.m. EST on Sunday, Feb. 23. All accreditation requests must be submitted online at:
https://media.ksc.nasa.gov
NASA’s media accreditation policy is online. For questions about accreditation or special logistical requests, email: ksc-media-accreditat@mail.nasa.gov. Requests for space for satellite trucks, tents, or electrical connections are due by Friday, Feb. 21.
For other questions, please contact NASA Kennedy’s newsroom at: 321-867-2468.

Two days later, the total solar eclipse swept across a narrow portion of the North American continent from Mexico’s Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast of Newfoundland, Canada. A partial solar eclipse was visible across the entire North American continent along with parts of Central America and Europe.
The NASA Headquarters photo team chose this image as one of the best from 2024. See more of the top 100 from last year on Flickr.

The crew of a Surjet private air service flight had an unusual encounter on December 23 while returning to Fort Lauderdale. Flight attendant Cassandra Martin, along with two pilots, was onboard the aircraft flying over the Bahamas when an unexpected event caught their attention.
“I suddenly heard air traffic control say, ‘We have a foreign object; can you please identify it?'” Martin recounted to NBC Miami.
Curious, she looked out the window. “I glanced to the left, and the pilot noticed three objects, though I only saw one. I quickly grabbed my phone, pressed it against the window, and tried to record a video of the object,” she explained.
Martin described the orb as white, later shifting to a faint green hue, almost as though surrounded by an electric field. The object followed their flight for about 45 minutes before disappearing.
What made the sighting extraordinary was the altitude. The jet was cruising at approximately 43,000 to 45,000 feet, yet the orb was far above the aircraft and still managed to track it for the extended duration.
The orb’s speed and maneuverability ruled out possibilities such as a balloon or a consumer drone. Unless the orb is of extraterrestrial origin, the orb might be a craft or drone equipped with highly advanced technology not yet publicly known, akin to recent reports of sophisticated drones spotted across the U.S.
This remarkable incident follows a December 16, 2024 sighting aboard United Airlines flight UA2359 from Chicago to Newark. During that flight, a passenger filmed several unidentified orbs at altitudes between 40,000 and 50,000 feet. Additionally, reports surfaced from at least four commercial airline pilots who witnessed mysterious, colorful, circular lights moving at extreme speeds over Oregon in the same month.
These repeated sightings raise questions: Are they advanced black projects hidden from public knowledge or evidence of something extraterrestrial? Regardless of their origin, the increasing reports of advanced drones and strange orbs suggest that something significant is occurring. View the full article
