The increasingly tense relationship between the United States and Russia might be about to face a new challenge: a Russian investigation into American moon landings.
New center, rockets, and navigation satellites
A team of Chinese physicists has developed a new variety of light-based propulsion system with the ability to harness much greater forces than a conventional solar sail. The key, according to the Nankai University-based group, is in swapping out the
Time to dust off those blueprints and get building
As plans continue to develop to colonize other planets like Mars, some scientists are suggesting that the different environment could create an entirely new and different human species. Read More: http://www.trueactivist.com/scientists-say-that-
About 140 million miles away, on a big red rock circling the sun, a little rover by the name of Curiosity is crawling around a barren landscape of stone and silence.
It's been a big week for Mars news. On Monday, the first trailer for the upcoming Ridley Scott movie The Martian was released, and on Tuesday, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) unveiled a new sample-return mission to Mars's moons, sla
This morning, the European Space Agency announced some fantastic news--the Rosetta mission's Philae lander has finally woken up from its long dormancy on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
Volunteers who have spent 8 months inside a dome on a Hawaii volcano to simulate life on Mars have completed their mission
With near Earth space filled with numerous "city killer" asteroids, we don't wanna miss a thing
Astronauts could use overnight habitats they can toss in the trunks of their rovers.
On one side: Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX (and Tesla Motors), backed by Google. On the other: Musk's friend Greg Wyler, founder of OneWeb, backed by Virgin Galactic parent company The Virgin Group and its eccentric billionaire founder Richard Brans
Today the European Space Agency released images that may point to the final resting place of its lovely lost lander, Philae.
The Planetary Society today confirmed that its LightSail satellite has successfully deployed its Mylar solar sail, achieving the main objective of the mission after 19 days in low-Earth orbit.
NASA astronaut Terry Virts, cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov and European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti are scheduled to depart the International Space Station in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft Thursday (June 11) at 6:20 a.m. EDT
To be honest, NASA should perhaps hold off on making such bold statements
Station's position in orbit has changed but no one is injured and scheduled crew return will go ahead, space agency says
Airbus Defence and Space has unveiled its concept for a reusable first stage launch vehicle to compete with SpaceX's reusable space launch system.
During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet.
Prof Lord Rees told the Cheltenham Science Festival the first contact with aliens will be through robots
Astronomers usually discover supernovae within large galaxies, where a star explodes perhaps once a century. Now a team of astronomers has used the sharp imaging capability of the Hubble Space Telescope to confirm that three exploding stars found in
Putting boots on Mars by the end of the 2030s is not just a pipe dream, a new study suggests.
The first ever space-to-Earth "handshake" in human history is scheduled to happen Wednesday evening--though for the moment it's just between two joysticks.
os Angeles entrepreneur Elon Musk has built a multibillion-dollar fortune running companies that make electric cars, sell solar panels and launch rockets into space..
A global team of vigilant satellite watchers has caught the U.S. Air Force's robotic X-37B space plane on camera as the craft circles Earth on its fourth mysterious mission.
Astronomers have discovered three "cosmic Methusalems" from the earliest years of the universe. These unusual stars are about 13 billion years old and experts assign them to the first generations of stars after the "dark ages."
It took little more than a pair of binoculars and some determination for a small group of hobbyists to discover the classified flight path of the X-37B U.S. space plane.
"Air Force" is becoming an increasingly inaccurate name for the flying branch of America's armed forces. Responsible for some but not all of its aerial machines, the Air Force is also in charge of domains beyond the reach of ocean-bound navies or g
A remote galaxy shining brightly with infrared light equal to more than 300 trillion suns has been discovered using data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE.
When Jordi Puig-Suari and Bob Twiggs began working on the first cubesat in 1999, their goal was a rather basic one -- to develop a compact satellite that university students could build and use to conduct scientific experiments and test out new tech
