Artemis 3's astronauts will wear spacesuits equipped with 4G connectivity — the same 4G that makes up the majority of Earth's mobile phone networks today.

On Sept. 8, 2024, a satellite named Salsa will re-enter the atmosphere and burn up safely over a hand-picked region of the South Pacific — if all goes to plan.

Scientists hope to send an autonomous satellite swarm beyond our planet's orbit someday.

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover is about to begin the next leg of its epic Red Planet journey, and its final destination is likely to be the robotic rover's most spectacular sightseeing spot yet.

Measuring wind on Mars with great sensitivity is important if we don't want accidents with vehicles, and maybe even astronauts, on the Red Planet.

Ten U.K. finalists have been announced in the Aqualunar Challenge, an effort to develop tech that can turn moon ice into drinkable water.

A high-speed particle and electronics malfunction threatened the Gaia space telescope, but scientists managed to not only fix the issue, but also to optimize Gaia beyond its previous capabilities.

NASA plans to build a moon-orbiting space station in the future, and just released a comprehensive video of its vision.

How European Space Agency scientists are using Lego-inspired "space bricks" to design lunar habitats.

NASA is flying aircraft low over the US in order to learn where, exactly, greenhouse gases are coming from. The results should help the agency fight causes of human-driven climate change.

Europe's new Ariane 6 rocket is on schedule for its inaugural launch.

China's Chang'e 6 probe is scheduled to return to Earth on June 25, and scientists are starting to get excited about what its far side moon samples can tell us.

NASA's Perseverance rover has begun studying an intriguingly light-colored patch of rock that mission team members call "Bright Angel."

Some scientists believe they may be able to find buried liquid water on the Red Planet by studying seismic and magnetic readings to reconstruct the aftermath of marsquakes.

Saturn's largest moon Titan has been known to have rivers and lakes of methane, but a new study has found that their shorelines may be eroded and shaped by wave activity.

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has been rerouted across a Red Planet dune field to reach the Marian territory known as "Bright Angel"

To create more high resolution maps of the moon, scientists are enlisting the help of algorithms.

ESA and some of its member states have signed the non-binding Zero Debris Charter, committing themselves to take steps to help tackle the orbital debris problem.

A subsurface ocean of liquid water may exist beneath Pluto's nitrogen ice, according to an analysis of data collected by NASA's New Horizons probe.

Scientists enlisted AI to help peruse a massive dataset in search of neutral carbon absorbers in galaxies, which can reveal lots about galaxy evolution.

Scientists are diving into the mystery of the missing storm in Earth's magnetotail, which refers to our planet's magnetic field tail.

After much debate, the Curiosity Mars rover team decided to continue following an intriguing channel rather than send the robot on an off-road detour.

New images from the VLT Survey Telescope will help scientists learn about galaxy pasts, and perhaps futures.

The rings that circle gas giants like Saturn are composed mostly of water-ice particles. Could life exist in these beautiful and enigmatic structures?

NASA's Lucy spacecraft serendipitously found a small moonlet orbiting the mission's asteroid target Dinkinesh. Scientists named it Selam, and have now learned that Selam is a cosmic toddler.
