NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are teaming up to explore one of the biggest puzzles of the Universe: dark energy. A new space telescope, Euclid, which will explore the dark Universe, is launching in July on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida. With an …

NASA has launched its 28th commercial resupply mission with SpaceX, sending 7,000 pounds of cargo to the International Space Station. A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft propelled by a Falcon 9 rocket will bring several measurement instruments, as well as two roll-out solar arrays. The International Space Station Roll Out Solar Arrays …

The United States plans to test a spacecraft engine powered by nuclear fission by 2027 as part of a long-term NASA effort to demonstrate more efficient methods of propelling astronauts to Mars in the future, the space agency’s chief said on Tuesday. NASA will partner with the US military’s research …

NASA is collaborating with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory to establish a sun-independent power source for missions to the moon by the end of the decade. The two, on Friday, put out a request for proposals for the fission surface power system. “Providing a reliable, high-power system …

NASA was set on Saturday to launch a spacecraft called Lucy on a 12-year mission to explore for the first time a group of rocky bodies known as the Jupiter Trojan asteroids, gathering new insights into the solar system’s formation. The Atlas V rocket responsible for propelling the probe is …

NASA and the European Space Agency joined forces Tuesday (13 July) in the battle against climate change, a move they said paves the way to a global response to the problem. “To ensure that data from Earth-observing satellites are used to their best advantage, further science and, ultimately, bring the …

NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy will seek proposals from industry to build a nuclear power plant on the moon and Mars to support its long-term exploration plans. The proposal is for a fission surface power system, and the goal is to have a flight system, lander and reactor …

While it may seem like the whole world has come to a standstill, NASA is notably continuing to prep for one of the most important missions in recent memory, set to launch on the 27th of May, coinciding with the week of Memorial Day. Riding aboard a SpaceX-built Falcon 9 …

Since it landed in Gale Crater in 2012. the Curiosity rover has been studying the Martian surface beneath its wheels to learn more about the planet'.s history.But Curiosity also stuck its nose in the air for a big sniff to understand the Martian atmospher.

The new plane takes the form of an altered Tecnam P2006T. with the original aircraft’s combustion engines having been replaced with electric cruise motors.
