Three leading superpowers: Russia, China and the US are reportedly developing, testing and deploying sophisticated weapons in outer space in advance of a military attack that could see the first great conflict between sparring superpowers in 70 years
Bigelow Aerospace of Las Vegas, Nevada has entered into a joint agreement with NASA to leverage the company's B330 inflatable space habitat for use with NASA's human space flight program.
NASA has selected a prime contractor to modify its launch facilities and the Mobile Launch Platform (MLP) that will be used for its new Space Launch System or "SLS."
According to NASA's research, fresh vegetables 'could have a positive impact on people's moods and also provide some protection against radiation in space'
Space travel uses massive rockets to overcome gravity. We use elevators to do the same thing. A Canadian company has snagged a patent to make entering space more like a trip to the top floor.
The Perseid meteor shower -- an annual display of natural fireworks -- should be particularly spectacular this year, with extra-dark skies expected to create optimal stargazing conditions, astronomers said Friday.
Enter Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP), a viable means of rocket propulsion that can use the solar energy from solar arrays and convert that into electricity. The electricity in turn will ionize and accelerate propellant to produce thrust.
New International Space Station (ISS) footage reveals the staggering and fragile beauty of the Middle East at night, when all the violence of the region seems to have stilled and only glimmering lights indicate the pulse of life.
If you think the aurora on Earth is amazing, check this out: astronomers have discovered the first auroras ever seen outside of our solar system, and they're 1 million times brighter than any aurora witnessed on Earth.
The data, collected with a new instrument, revealed a giant black hole in an otherwise normal, distant galaxy, called CID-947. Because its light had to travel a very long distance, the scientists were observing it at a period when the universe was l
Nearly a decade ago, a piano-size space probe rocketed from Earth on a long-shot mission to Pluto, a voyage repeatedly dissed and downplayed by doubters. The outbound trip was all but forgotten, like much of this country's space program that has fa

On Earth, auroras like the Northern Lights provide a dazzling light show. According to new research, the same phenomenon occurs outside our solar system -- but not necessarily around planets.
The NTSB says 'political pressure' on the FAA prevented it from stopping a dangerous program bankrolled by a delusional billionaire. Sources inside Virgin Galactic describe the breakdown.
A lonely island in the middle of the South Atlantic conceals Charles Darwin's best-kept secret. Two hundred years ago, Ascension Island was a barren volcanic edifice. Today, its peaks are covered by lush tropical "cloud forest".
The recordings have been online for years now as clunky individual sound clips. But now, for the first time they're actually easy to listen to--NASA just uploaded them to SoundCloud.
National Transportation Safety Board revealed that a combination of human error and inadequate safety measures caused the breakup and crash of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo
While astronomers already knew that cosmic winds travelling through galaxies could cause star formation to come to an end by sweeping out interstellar material, new observations of a nearby galaxy have given them a better look at exactly what this pr
