NASA’s groundbreaking Artemis II mission is reshaping our understanding of both the Moon and human spaceflight. On April 6, the crew spent nearly seven hours observing lunar features during Orion’s closest approach to the Moon,

Waste management in space has come a long way since the first moon missions. Back in the 1960s, NASA Apollo astronauts left behind 96 bags of human waste (filled with poop, urine, and vomit) on the lunar surface to save weight. Those bags are almost certainly still there.

So why is NASA launching fewer telescopes and planetary science missions than it did a quarter-century ago? The answer is complex. It is not necessarily the money. The space agency’s science budget this year is $7.

Nasa successfully flew its experimental X-59 aircraft at supersonic speeds. Learn the science behind how this unique design replaces sonic booms with a quiet thump.

After six months of silence and a failed recovery effort, NASA has officially ended the MAVEN mission. The fragmented telemetry that sealed its fate revealed a spacecraft spinning out of control.

Science classes are often remembered for textbooks, diagrams and memorising formulas. Mark Rober wants children to remember something different, namely the excitement of discovering how the world works.

NASA’s experimental X-59 plane is one step closer to making faster-than-sound flight quiet after the aircraft flew supersonic for the first time on June 5, reaching a peak speed of 713 miles per hour
