On this first day of fall, we thought we'd take a moment to highlight our favorite PSL— the Propulsion Systems Laboratory! 🍂 This one-of-a-kind NASA Glenn facility helps experts test propulsion systems and conduct world-class experimental research for both commercial and military aviation applications. Built in the early 1970s, the facility can simulate high-speed, high-altitude flight conditions and even clouds of ice crystals and liquid water droplets. PSL has hosted a number of unique programs that have furthered engine research technologies.

What’s up for October? 🪐 See Saturn at opposition, catch the Orionid meteor shower, and watch the Moon pass close to the Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters.

Just a few places you might’ve seen us this September: A science center, an airport, an airshow, two football games, a baseball game, and at our Lewis Field campus for a 5K race... We've had an out-of-this world month sharing about @NASA’s cutting-edge aerospace work and how the road to the Moon and Mars goes through Ohio! 💫

Take a peek under the microscope with us at a new @NASA material! 🔬 It could be produced directly on the Moon or Mars and be used for manufacturing during future space missions, allowing NASA to pack fewer supplies — saving weight and reducing launch costs. Research chemical engineer Allison Christy and her team developed the substance at NASA Glenn by mixing a special, recyclable plastic with simulated Moon or Mars dust. The grayish image shows sample material produced using mock Moon dust, while the reddish image shows material made with mock Mars dust. More: go.nasa.gov/4dcfjkI

Did you spot us at the Cleveland @Browns stadium (or soaring overhead) yesterday? ✈️✨🏈 Football fans at the Sept. 27 game engaged with @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman, astronaut Doug Wheelock, and other team members from Glenn — Cleveland's very own @NASA center — to learn more about the future of flight and space exploration. During the national anthem, Glenn employees Greeta Thaikattil and Heather Brown took to the skies with Isaacman and his Freedom 250 F-5 team as they performed the Browns' first-ever NASA flyover.

Hard to beat a Sunday flying an F-5 over a packed stadium! Thanks to the @NFL and @Browns for welcoming our Inspiration Tour. Enjoyed meeting fans alongside Doug Wheelock and our @NASAglenn team and sharing what’s ahead for America in space. A lot to look forward to, and we want you along for the ride.

Another Ohio Space Week is in the books! ✔️ -We launched an exhibit at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. -Glenn’s Katie Oriti, who supports @NASAArtemis as manager for the Orion European Service Module Integration Office, threw out the first pitch during NASA Day at the Guardians. -We connected you with @NASA scientists, engineers, special guests, and hands-on activities during Discovery Days. -We brought you inside our gates for the Cleveland Space Race, the first 5K held at our Lewis Field campus. What a blast celebrating our state’s rich aerospace history and sharing how the road to the Moon and Mars goes through Ohio! 🚀 Did you explore with us last week?
