At Config 2026, Figma’s design conference in San Francisco at the Moscone Center hosted a session on how NASA’s digital universe got a major upgrade. With a bold new web experience and the Horizon Design System, NASA became equipped to tell its most important stories—breakthroughs, missions, and cosmic wonders—with clarity, cohesion, and style.

The two shared real talk on aligning stakeholders, designing for scale, and building a system that inspires the world—one pixel at a time.
