 NASA ScienceCast 313: The Power of the Station's New Solar Arrays | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 1:28

The new solar arrays on @Space_Station, iROSA, are providing power to the station with improved efficiency. ROSA technology will also help power Gateway, and the DART mission!

 NASA ScienceCast 312: Doing Business in Space | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 4:26

The ISS is a one-of-a-kind laboratory, as well as an incubator for new business, accelerating the development of a new space economy in low-Earth orbit.

 NASA ScienceCast 311: Observing Lightning from the International Space Station | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 4:32

Colorful bursts of energy above thunderstorms called transient luminous events can be observed from the ISS. Instruments on the station are helping scientists study these particle outbursts.

 NASA ScienceCast 310: The Small Satellite That’s Paying Big Dividends | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 4:43

The International Space Station is well known as an orbiting laboratory, but during the past decade the station has also served a very different role - that of being a business incubator. One of its star products is the CubeSat.

 NASA ScienceCast 309: A Growing Market at Gravity’s Edge | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 4:27

The commercialization of low-Earth orbit is enabling a new market in space, while aiding NASA in its mission of exploration and discovery.

 NASA ScienceCast 308: Keeping an Eye on Earth | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 4:03

Earth observing instruments on the space station along with photography from crew members serve to keep a multifunctional eye on our home planet.

 NASA ScienceCast 307: Finding the Invisible | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 4:31

Scientists are using AMS-02 on the Space Station to study fundamental particles originating from sources up to billions of light years away. These particles may hold the key to understanding both the composition and history of our universe.

 NASA ScienceCast 306: Making Space for Technology Development | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 4:12

The International Space Station provides the only microgravity environment in which we can test technologies critical to our deep-space exploration in the near and far-term future.

 NASA ScienceCast 305: Effects of the Solar Wind | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 3:45

The continuously expanding solar wind begins in our Sun and doesn’t stop until after it reaches the edge of the heliosphere.

 NASA ScienceCast 304: Unlocking the Origins of the Universe | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 3:11

AMS-02 is helping scientists investigate many fundamental physics questions from its place on the space station. Astronauts are conducting a series of spacewalks to perform repairs and extend the life of the observatory.

 NASA ScienceCast 303: Exploring the Presence of Water on the Moon | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 4:01

The presence of water on the Moon opens up many exciting possibilities for future exploration and just as many questions about that water’s origins.

 NASA ScienceCast 302: Eye on Neptune | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 3:15

Neptune will be at opposition in September, providing an opportunity to observe this planet that is invisible to the naked eye, but that scientists would love to see more clearly.

 NASA ScienceCast 301: Shedding Light on Black Holes | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 4:07

"Black Holes" is one of the most highly searched terms about our universe. How much of what we think we know about black holes is actually true?

 NASA ScienceCast 300: Cutting-edge Biomanufacturing Aboard the International Space Station | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 3:44

Welcome to the world of 3D biomanufacturing, a cutting-edge practice on Earth that is being tested aboard the International Space Station.

 NASA ScienceCast 299: The Lasting Impacts of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 3:59

In July 1994, astronomers around the world watched as the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 slammed into the planet Jupiter.
