Now that the Kepler spacecraft no longer has the pointing precision needed to search for Earth-like planets, the mission continues on NASA’s Pleiades supercomputer through a major effort to analyze the enormous amount of data collected.
From the intense blast of rocket engines on the launch pad to acceleration and precise booster separation, high-fidelity aerodynamic simulations are critical to the design of NASA’s next-generation space launch vehicles and structures.
Scientists are using NASA supercomputers to produce state-of-the art 3D simulations that can follow the formation and evolution of thousands of galaxies simultaneously, to gain deeper insight into the mechanisms of galaxy formation.
To alleviate the growing problem of aircraft noise, NASA's Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) project is performing large-scale aerodynamic simulations to develop and evaluate novel noise-reduction concepts.
