This lab at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida tackles complex, interdisciplinary technical issues involving fluids, heat transfer, material properties, optics, mechanics, and other areas. 

This research facility at Kennedy conducts scientific investigations to protect flight hardware and launch equipment from electrostatic discharges.

NASA is looking at ways to provide astronauts with nutrients in a long-lasting, easily absorbed form—freshly grown fresh fruits and vegetables. The challenge is doing that without sunlight or gravity.

The reduced gravity on the Moon, Mars, comets, and asteroids poses a major challenge for digging and traction during mining operations, but Kennedy is developing technologies that will push the boundaries of space mining and resource utilization.

Kennedy is actively working to develop technology that will address the pesky problem of dust on the Moon and Mars, as this can cause hardware failures, obstruct camera lenses and solar panels, and pose a hazard to human health.

Kennedy's Swamp Works establishes rapid, innovative, and cost-effective exploration mission solutions through a highly collaborative approach, leveraging partnerships across NASA, industry, and academia.
