We've delivered the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) camera lens assembly to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory!

The assembly will be incorporated into LSST, a ground telescope under construction on top of an 8,800-foot mountain in Chile.

Once completed, LSST will explore dark matter, dark energy, the transient optical sky, and the formation and structure of the Milky Way.

Amazing! Researchers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have made the very first detection of water vapor signatures in the atmosphere of a ‘habitable zone’ exoplanet!

Approximately eight times the mass of Earth, K2-18b was discovered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope in 2015 and is now the only “super-Earth” exoplanet known to host both water and temperatures that could support life.

Ball Aerospace designed and built Kepler and its photometer. We also provided each of the f…ive instruments now operating on Hubble. Our heritage across a breadth of NASA science/exploration mission classes informs our development of technology that will enable the science of tomorrow.
