Media Requests

Do you have any exciting science results that use TESS data? We love to see it!

NASA can provide media support that can help amplify your results so that they reach a wide audience. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Astrophysics Division Communications Team has extensive experience creating press products based on results: from coordinating and writing web features and press releases, producing supporting videos, and commissioning animations, and even planning a press event if the result is significant enough.

Submit a TESS Media Coverage Request for media support consideration. The team needs an adequate heads up of your coming results, about six weeks in most cases. Please consider submitting a media request at the same time you submit a paper for publication, and before submitting it to a preprint server (like arXiv).


Sample (partial) page from NASA Goddard's TESS Media Coverage Request online form.

A copy of this form will be emailed to the Goddard's Astrophysics Division Communications Team Leadership: Amber Straughn, Claire Saravia, Frank Reddy, Barb Mattson, and Jeanette Kazmierczak. If a paper is associated with this submission, please also send a current draft of your paper to TESS' Media Contact [Claire Saravia, Office of Communications](mailto:claire.g.desaravia@nasa.gov).
