NASA officials say they're ready to try a new approach to fueling the Space Launch System to prevent the return of leaks that scrubbed an earlier launch attempt even though they are not certain what caused that leak. The...

When the DART spacecraft impacts the asteroid Dimorphos on Sept. 26 in a test of our planetary defenses, it will be a continuation of work that started decades ago.

Aerospace Corp. report: 'The missile warning and tracking programs will weigh heavily in debates about the future of U.S. space systems' The post New report raises questions on DoD's multi-orbit plan for space sensors ap...

Hotel giant Hilton is extending its operations to orbit with a new partnership on the Starlab private space station, which may be operational in 2027.

The U.S. Space Force is conducting a training exercise known as 'Black Skies' that will focus on electronic warfare tactics such as real-world satellite jamming.

Ingenuity traveled about 308 feet (94 meters) on Sunday (Sept. 18), staying aloft for more than 55 seconds and reaching a maximum speed of 10.6 mph (17.1 kph).

The Space Force just unveiled its official song, a 40-second ditty called "Semper Supra" (Latin for "always above.")

ArianeGroup's 'Susie' is a fully reusable craft designed to fit future rockets, one of which is being made right now for Arianespace.

By simulating the removal of craters left on the lunar surface by asteroid impacts, astronomers peered over 4 billion years back in time.

NASA will try out planetary defense technology with its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) this month, but don't worry -- it's not because a space rock is just about to hit us.

When searching for Earth-like worlds around other stars, instead of looking for the "pale blue dot" described by Carl Sagan, new research suggests that a hunt for dry, cold "pale yellow dots" might have a better chance o...

For the first time, a spacecraft has detected acoustic and seismic waves from impacts on Mars. NASA's InSight lander made the detections from four meteoroids that crashed on Mars in 2020 and 2021. Ever since the mission ...

What's shaking on Mars? Thanks to the InSight lander scientists now know part of the answer is space rock impacts. The lander's seismometer has 'heard' at least four strikes.

An article published in Nature Astronomy makes a strong case to declare the orbital space around earth an ecologically protected environment. It was part of a submission to the US Court of Appeals in August last year and...

Evidence collected by the Tianwen 1 orbiter and Zhurong rover supports the possible existence of an ancient ocean in the Utopia Planitia region of Mars.

The loudest sound in the universe, an epic "space roar", was detected in 2006 and scientists still don't know what's causing it.

Since 2018, NASA's InSight mission to Mars has recorded seismic waves from more than 1,300 marsquakes in its quest to probe the internal structure of the red planet. The solar panels of the car-sized robotic lander have ...

NASA Releases Revised Moon to Mars Objectives

An international research team has found that the first continents were not stable and were recycled in the interior of the Earth, in the mantle.

The moon's craters preserve billions of years of history. Scientists have learned about the conditions of our early solar system by studying the composition, size, and distribution of these holes in the moon's surface, c...

Using India's AstroSat spacecraft, astronomers have investigated a central field of a cluster of galaxies known as the Coma cluster. Results of the study, presented in a paper published September 13 on arXiv.org, deliver...
