TOP 5 UPCOMING MISSION OF NASA
NASA is working on a telescope which will look through dusty clouds to see how stars form planetary systems and connect the Milky Way to the solar system. The name of the telescope is James Webb Space Telescope on the name of the former NASA administrator James Webb.

The main feature of the telescope is a folding, segmented mirror to see far-off objects. In total, it will consist of four science instruments, which include a near-infrared camera and spectrograph, another camera and a spectrograph that sees light in the mid-infrared region, and a precision sensor. The schedule of launching will be in 2018.

3.To The Sun And Beyond
The next mission by NASA is IRIS. Basically IRIS will study about the sun's lower atmosphere, and it's one of several major missions in the works at the space agency
IRIS will help scientists better understand not only the flow of the sun's energy, but also how radiation and solar particles affect satellites, space weather and our own planet. IRIS will orbit the Earth, capturing high-resolution images and data known as spectra.
4.Redirecting Asteroids
NASA now plan to visit an asteroid in space. The mission will combine existing capabilities of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and Space Launch System rocket with yet-to-be-developed technologies, such as solar electric propulsion and laser communications, to identify, capture and redirect a small asteroid into a stable orbit near the moon.
5.Studying Moon's Atmosphere

The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer will orbit the moon to gather detailed information about its atmosphere during the 160-day mission. It will also monitor conditions near the moon's surface and how the environment affects lunar dust.
