We’re taking quantum communications to new heights! ✈️
Late last month, @NASA researchers made history when they successfully sent tiny light particles, or photons, between an aircraft and a ground station over a quantum channel, the first time this has been achieved in the U.S. (1/3)

@NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman stopped by our Cleveland center last week!
He spent time inside our world-class test facilities and engaged with some of the Glenn experts who are advancing our work on nuclear power in space — revolutionizing the way we explore. 🚀

Congratulations to the civil servant employees sworn in today at NASA Glenn as part of @NASAAdmin’s insourcing initiative.
The large group gathered for orientation — and had the chance to tour several world-class facilities — at our Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Sandusky, Ohio.
We’re excited to work with you at NASA’s only center in the Midwest as we transform aviation, revolutionize space exploration, and inspire new discoveries for the benefit of all.
Welcome to the @NASA team!

Today marks the late astronaut Neil Armstrong’s 96th birthday (the namesake of NASA Glenn’s Neil Armstrong Test Facility in Sandusky, Ohio)! 🎂
He was the first person to step foot on the Moon’s surface, saying the famous quote, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” As NASA looks ahead to Artemis III and beyond, we remember Neil Armstrong as a trailblazer of space exploration.
Fun fact: Armstrong was born on Aug. 5, 1930, in Wapakoneta, Ohio. He began his professional career at the Lewis Flight Propulsion Lab (now NASA Glenn) as a research pilot. Learn more about his life and legacy:

Take a peek inside the regenerative fuel cell system our researchers are preparing to test over the next few months.
This technology operates like a rechargeable battery and could revolutionize the way @NASA stores energy during future Moon missions — potentially powering habitats, rovers, and other essential systems.
