NASA’s 737 Gets Painted
A newly painted NASA 737 aircraft sits on a ramp in Oklahoma on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026. After modifications, this aircraft will perform lunar-gravity parabolic flights to validate astronaut lunar suits and associated crew systems required to support Artemis mission objectives. Flight testing will happen at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston for reduced-gravity operations, with oversight by NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. In addition, the aircraft will serve as a key asset for systems‑integration research for flight testing autonomy, sensors, and other digital systems.
