After years of setbacks, the James Webb Space Telescope will finally launch next month. NASA has given the green light to begin fueling the observatory for launch, after engineering teams found no sign of damage from an incident last week.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has set a new pair of records after it survived its 10th close encounter with the Sun, coming within 5.3 million miles of the surface and reaching a speed of 363,660 mph, making it the fastest-ever artificial object.

NASA has launched its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission to demonstrate a way to deflect potentially dangerous asteroids. The robotic probe lifted off atop a Falcon 9 rocket and is set to intercept its target in late September 2022.

The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope has suffered yet another delay – but at least this time, it’s only a few days. NASA says that additional testing of the instrument now needs to be conducted after an incident during launch preparations.

Every year, the Hubble Space Telescope conducts a grand tour of the outer solar system planets, checking their turbulent atmospheres for changes in weather, storms, clouds and colors. This year’s shots are now in, revealing a few surprises.

Northrop Grumman has entered into an agreement with AVL, Intuitive Machines, Lunar Outpost, and Michelin to design and build a Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) to transport astronauts on the Moon's surface for NASA's Artemis project.

Fifty years ago this weekend, NASA's Mariner 9 probe went into orbit around Mars. This pioneering mission revolutionized our ideas about Mars and, with humans looking to head that way, is a timely reminder of just how utterly inhospitable a place it is.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson announced today that the next US crewed Moon landing mission has been pushed back from 2024 to 2025 due to COVID-19, lawsuits, and budget shortfalls, but the overall plan for 10 landings remains intact.

The latest data from NASA's pioneering Juno probe has offered the most complete picture of Jupiter's famously colorful and chaotic atmosphere yet, producing what scientists call the first 3D picture of the Jovian atmosphere.

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory may have spotted the first exoplanet outside our Milky Way. Located in M51, also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy, the giant exoplanet candidate circles a black hole or neutron star 28 million light years from Earth.

A first-of-a-kind NASA launch took place over the weekend, setting the agency's Lucy spacecraft on a pioneering path toward Jupiter to study an unprecedented number of asteroids as part of a single mission.

Jezero crater on Mars was chosen as the landing site for the Perseverance rover because satellite images suggested it was once an ancient lake. More direct evidence has now been found, as photos snapped by the rover reveal signs of flash flooding.
