Summary[edit]

Description
English: 2021 NASA Science Calendar
  • 2021 NASA Science Calendar: Science and discovery have always required us to persevere. Through unprecedented times. Through storms and turbulence. Perseverance is more than facing challenges. It demonstrates our ability to hold on to a worthy goal with resilience. It pushes us to keep doing the next right thing—to achieve something beyond ourselves. In that spirit, NASA Science, our nation, and the world continue to persevere. The year 2020 often made me think of the anonymous quote: “The best view comes after the hardest climb.” I have never been so proud to lead our team of explorers and enablers. I watched as we began to hunker down in our homes at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, not knowing how long we would be out of the office or how productive we would be. I was impressed when work continued despite challenges, and innovative solutions started pouring out of our teams. I was most proud of the mission teams who worked under extraordinary pressures to ensure Mars 2020 Perseverance made its slender planetary launch period. They inspired us and gave us hope. All of our missions have that basic ingredient of perseverance, whether it is the OSIRIS-REx team finding many surprises at asteroid Bennu and adapting its work to still make bold discoveries, or the James Webb Space Telescope, whose team has also persevered in this period to continue advancing the world’s most complex telescope on its journey to the stars. Our teams also face challenges in missions closer to the Sun than we’ve ever ventured, and our fleet of Earth observation satellites and the teams behind them consistently strive to keep us focused on our own home planet so we can better understand and also protect it. And our newest division, Biological and Physical Sciences, helps us persevere by understanding and protecting life in space as part of our human exploration programs. All of us persevere and discover together through the common experience of science. Our commitment to knowledge and doing hard things is what brings out the best in us. We will always persevere, because it is so worth it.
