Astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken will be recognized for their bravery after flying the first crewed SpaceX mission to the International Space Station.
Nuclear thermal rocket engines could help get astronauts to Mars more quickly than by chemical propulsion methods. NASA and DARPA are working on nuclear thermal propulsion tech that they hope to test as soon as 2027.
We peered 41 light years into the cosmos and found a planet in the Octans constellation with a diameter 99 percent that of Earth itself — say hello to LHS 475 b.
Researchers with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory may have uncovered a significant insight into how masers (nature's lasers) are formed while conducting a routine study of the "oddball" star MWC 349A.
Virgin Orbit's historic "Start Me Up" mission launched from Spaceport Cornwell on January 9th as planned, but it has failed to reach orbit and has ultimately ended in failure.
After a 1.4 million flight to the Moon and back (and a cross-country road trip across the US), NASA's Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft returned to Kennedy Space Center for closer inspection.
NASA’s goal for Artemis is simple: to re-establish a human foothold on the Moon for the first time since 1972, and stay there. Here's how they'll do it.
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite will track the vast majority of water on Earth for the first time. It will help to improve flood forecasts, drought monitoring and models that predict rising sea levels.
After 25 days in space, Orion is about to conclude its uncrewed test run to the Moon. The Artemis 1 mission will draw to a close when the NASA spacecraft splashes down in the Pacific Ocean at around 12:40PM ET.
