NASA opened its doors 61 years back, on October 1, 1958, and it has concepts for its next years. The area firm’s 10- year strategy includes billions of dollars and periods countless miles. And similar to deep space, it’s just broadening.

On Monday, NASA administrators revealed a brand-new strategy to release a telescope into Earth’s orbit that will hunt for fatal asteroids

In June, the firm presented an objective that intends to fly a nuclear-powered helicopter over the surface area of Titan, an icy moon of Saturn’s, to scan for alien life. NASA wishes to try to find life in the ocean listed below the icy surface area of Jupiter’s moon Europa, too.

These strategies follow a statement NASA in 2015 that explained strategies to send out astronauts back to the moon and ultimately construct a base there, with a subsequent Mars-bound objective in the years after that.

Other future objectives will attempt to picture our whole cosmic history and map the dark matter and dark energy that govern our universe.

Here are a few of NASA’s greatest and most enthusiastic prepare for the coming years.
