NASA is publishing from space. With Jahia.

"Hello, World"

On April 2, 2026, Commander Reid Wiseman photographed Earth from the window of the Orion spacecraft. Artemis II had just left Earth's orbit, heading to the Moon for the first time since 1972. The image 5,568 × 3,712 pixels, taken right after the translunar injection burn, went live on nasa.gov minutes later, under a title that said everything: "Hello, World."

Those are the two words you write when you test a program for the first time, the first signal sent to check that the connection is working, that everything is running as expected.

What you don't see behind the photo

Within minutes, that image was available in full resolution to millions of people around the world. What you don't see is the infrastructure that makes it possible: the raw file coming in, being processed, going live, and being distributed across every channel at once.

The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), which operates the James Webb Space Telescope for NASA, ESA, and CSA, uses Jahia to manage the distribution of its scientific content. Researchers, engineers, communications staff, press teams all publishing on the same platform, at the same time, without getting in each other's way, even during unpredictable traffic spikes, at the exact moment the entire world is watching.

 

An enterprise CMS is a ten-year commitment

An enterprise CMS is a ten-year commitment. That's how long it takes for a platform to prove its true value: absorbing years of growth, new markets, new teams, new use cases without breaking down.

NASA has no margin for error. When millions of people are waiting for an image from space, the infrastructure has to hold. It does.

Artemis II returns to Earth on April 10. Between now and then, more images will be published from space.
