Get ready for the future.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched a set of seven satellites, including the country's first-ever space observatory on Monday, Sept. 28.
India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) was achieved on a budget of 75 million. NASA's MAVEN Mission cost nearly 10 times more. Newsy explains why there is such a big difference.
The Mideast investment fund that recently bet big on Mercedes-Benz said Tuesday that it will pay about $280 million to buy nearly a third of commercial space travel start-up Virgin Galactic.
Iranian state television said Monday that the nation had put a monkey into space “as a prelude to sending humans.” The successful flight involved a relatively small rocket that went straight up and down, according to the state-sponsored news report,
It's been far too long since we've checked in with our friend David Cenciotti at The Aviationist and we're never disappointed with what his readers send his way.
Just before dawn, “Fearless Felix” will don a custom-made spacesuit and ascend high over the New Mexico desert in a capsule suspended beneath an immense helium balloon, then fall to earth from 120,000 feet. The Austrian adventurer hopes to break an u
Aboard the ISS, we fly along over Earth's luminous nocturnal landscapes, with Dr. Justin Wilkinson as our guide. This intimate tour takes us over cities and coastlines in the Americas, the Middle East and Europe.
The first steps towards interstellar travel have been taken, but the stars are very far away.
The slow motion video of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket take off, which was carrying the Dragon cargo capsule, last night seems to show a possible explosion in the engines, and a fair amount of debris flowing out of it.
A commercial cargo ship rocketed into orbit Sunday in pursuit of the International Space Station, the first of a dozen supply runs under a mega-contract with NASA.
The first launch of a new space era is scheduled to take place on Sunday night as SpaceX prepares to deliver its first NASA-contracted cargo load to the International Space Station.
You might be excused if, upon reading about a proposal to build a supercomputer on the moon, your first thought was, “Wasn’t there a Heinlein novel about this?”

Researchers at University of Huntsville in Alabama say they are using "Dilithium Crystals" in a new fusion impulse engine that could cut the travel time to Mars down to as little as six weeks, not the six months it takes now.
We think of space as a big empty expanse, but closer to Earth, the space just beyond the outer reaches of our atmosphere are teeming with satellites and broken bits of space debris.
