New photos show off NASA's newly constructed Roman Space Telescope, which will soon help researchers unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. Experts have also revealed when the next-gen spacecraft is set to launch and begin collecting data.
NASA says Artemis II is a major step toward returning humans to the moon — and eventually sending astronauts to Mars. For the public, the name-submission campaign offers a fun, symbolic way to be part of that next chapter in space exploration. Over 1.8 million boarding passes have been claimed as of Monday afternoon.
Depending on the timing, NASA could launch a fresh crew to the space station while four other astronauts are flying around the moon.
Among other things, the James Webb Space Telescope is designed to get us closer to finding habitable worlds around faraway stars. From its perch a million miles from Earth, Webb’s huge gold-coated mirror collects more light than any other telescope put into space.
NASA's new CMEx mission will measure the Sun's chromosphere magnetism, the origin of solar storms, hoping to improve solar storm warnings.
A new NASA mission is set to see astronauts return to an area of 'deep space' that hasn't been visited in over 50 years. Despite the Trump administration revealing last year that the space agency's overall budget would be cut to its lowest since 2015, it still has big plans for 2026.
If you thought 2025 was an exciting year for spaceflight, just wait until 2026. Here's a look at six missions that could define the year.
The first crewed spaceflight of NASA’s Artemis program will break records, achieve historic firsts, and pave the way for America’s return to the Moon.
