| Name | Description | Released | Price | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VideoBlack-Hole Hunter | NASA's NuSTAR will use its X-ray eyes to scout for hidden black holes in the universe. | 5/7/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 2 | VideoNuSTAR in Space | NASA's newest X-ray telescope will have a lengthy structure that unfolds in space, allowing it to see high-energy objects like feeding black holes. | 3/16/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 3 | VideoThe Future Starts Here | Kennedy Space Center is propelled today by the same strengths that have made it the nation's most celebrated launch complex for nearly 50 years. | 4/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 4 | VideoBlacker Than Black | The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has a team of scientists testing micro and nanotechnology to use on spacecraft. The goal is to reduce the reflection off the surface of the instruments so that the data does not get polluted by the scattered light. The carbon nanotubes that the team grows have proven to be 10 times better than the NASA Z306 paint, currently used on spacecraft instruments. | 12/2/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 5 | VideoThe How-To Guide to Satellites: The Design Review | Building satellites isn't easy. | 11/12/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 6 | VideoMass Spectrometry 101 | What do you do if you have a sample from another planet, and you want to find out if it contains a certain molecule...maybe even one that will reveal that the planet can sustain life? When scientists face a situation like this, they employ an amazing tool: the mass spectrometer. It does the hard work of separating out materials, allowing scientists to look very closely at a sample and see what's inside. | 7/23/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Interesting, fun and exciting!
The graphics are great. It's exciting to hear what is going on at NASA. To learn what our tax dollar are paying for, like the discoveries are and the future of the NASA. The only two small problems I had, was they were too short and only three of the podcaste work. Other than that I am waiting for more from NASA.
great, no glitches
This is a great podcast. To the person who wrote about tech problems, I'd check your computer, I haven't had any problems.
