Unified NASA Web Experience

The beta website is already available for an early preview, and users are encouraged to visit and provide feedback.

Jeff Seaton, the chief information officer at NASA's headquarters in Washington, expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to enhance the user experience, making NASA's information more accessible, discoverable, and secure.

"Our vision is to inspire humanity through a unified, world-class NASA web experience," said Seaton.

"NASA's legacy footprint presents an opportunity to dramatically improve the user experience for the public we serve. Modernizing our main websites from a technology standpoint and streamlining how the public engages with our content online are critical first steps in making our agency's information more accessible, discoverable, and secure."

The updated websites, nasa.gov, and science.nasa.gov, will offer a connected, topic-driven experience with a common search engine and optimized publishing capabilities. This consolidation of information will provide a one-stop-shop for the agency's missions, research, climate data, Artemis updates, and much more.

NASA is committed to continually improving the beta site based on valuable feedback from its visitors. The full launch will include content from various popular agency websites, ensuring easy access to the wealth of NASA's information scattered across the digital landscape.
