New NASA wind tunnel alert 🚨✈️🚀 Check out some highlights from the opening of NASA Langley's Flight Dynamics Research Facility! Using four massive eight-bladed fans powered by 750-horsepower motors, this facility can generate wind speeds two times faster than its predecessors. The research and testing done here will help us design spacecraft and aircraft — and help improve your future flights. Leaders gathered at Langley today for the wind tunnel's ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Developed at NASA Langley, SCALPSS, or Stereo Cameras for Lunar Plume-Surface Studies, will fly on four commercial lunar landers in 2028 as part of NASA’s Moon Base Program. The instrument helps researchers understand crater formation and the characteristics of ejected materials during landings—critical insight as larger landers touch down closer together. Last year, SCALPSS captured this first‑of‑its‑kind imagery during Firefly’s Blue Ghost Mission 1. Listen as Moon Base Program Manager Carlos García-Galán talked about the importance of SCALPSS during the lander announcement on June 30. Learn more about NASA's Moon Base Program:
