The space agency has been requested by the Loch Ness Centre to contribute its knowledge to a new search for the fabled creature.
One of the largest searches for Loch Ness in the Highlands last year came to an end when a hydrophone recorded loud underwater noises and multiple possible sightings.
The most recent search is scheduled for May 30–June 2, which coincides with Sir Edward Mountain’s 90th anniversary of his expedition.
More than 1,156 sightings have been reported on the official Loch Ness monster registry since the first expedition, the Watchers of the Monster, in 1934.
“We are hoping that Nessie hunters around the world will help us reach the people at NASA,” said Aimee Todd of the Loch Ness Centre.
