NASA has called off the $30 million mission to save the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory after efforts to reach the aging telescope resulted in terminal technical issues. The rescue spacecraft, Link, built by Katalyst Space Technologies and launched in early July,

In 2013, NASA's Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration set a groundbreaking standard by achieving data transmission speeds of 622 megabits per second. This innovative mission highlighted the superiority of laser technology over conventional radio communication,

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is scheduled to launch on Aug. 30 aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. The telescope will travel nearly 1 million miles from Earth to the same orbital "sweet spot" as NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Named after ...

Somewhere more than 13 billion miles from Earth, a nearly 50-year-old spacecraft is still doing its job. Voyager 2 has been flying through space since 1977, survived four planetary encounters, crossed into interstellar space and continued sending scientific data back to Earth long after anyone could reasonably have expected it to.

The 2026 NASA budget proposal would slash around US$6 billion (£4.4 billion) in funding. This is a huge reduction, amounting to around 25% of recent NASA budgets. The savings would mainly come from NASA science programs, potentially devastating high ...

A satellite launched to rescue NASA’s falling Swift Observatory won’t be able to complete its mission after all.
