NASA Minute: Sep. 25, 2026

This week, NASA took its message on the road in Arizona. Additionally, the agency completed the first test in a new noise measurement campaign for advanced air mobility aircraft, and NASA-funded researchers found a heat-loving amoeba that can reproduce at 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

What is said in the film

This week, NASA inspired future explorers, prepared the next crew for launch, studied life at the extremes, and looked ahead to the future of flight. Here's what's new, in your NASA Minute. From aerospace workers to airmen to college students, NASA's message was on the road in Arizona this week. Administrator Jared Isaacman visited Honeywell in Glendale, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, and the University of Arizona, highlighting the people and institutions helping power America's space program. The trip was another chance to inspire the next generation and show how communities across the country are already shaping the future of exploration.

NASA and SpaceX are less than a week away from launching the next crew to the International Space Station! Crew-13 is targeted to lift off on October 1st from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov. Once aboard the station, they'll join Expedition 75 and continue the science, maintenance, and technology demonstrations that help keep NASA's work moving in low Earth orbit. Life on Earth just proved even tougher than scientists thought. NASA-funded researchers have found a heat-loving amoeba that can reproduce at 145 degrees Fahrenheit, breaking the known temperature record for life with complex cells.

By studying life at the extremes, NASA can better understand what life is capable of here on Earth and where to look for it elsewhere. NASA is studying what the skies of tomorrow could sound like. The agency completed the first test in a new noise measurement campaign for advanced air mobility aircraft, gathering data to help safely bring air taxis, delivery drones, and other new aircraft into communities while managing noise on the ground. Whether on the road, in orbit, in the lab or in the skies above us, NASA's work keeps moving forward. We'll see you next time on the NASA Minute.
