NASA has managed to restart the Hubble Space Telescope, after aging technology suspended science operations for a month. It seems the iconic instrument’s career may not be coming to an end, as had been feared.

Blue Origin has announced 82-year-old space pioneer Mary Wallace "Wally" Funk will fill the fourth seat on New Shepard's first passenger flight. A participant in the 1960s Woman in Space program, she will be the oldest person to ever fly into space.

A team of NASA scientists may have resolved a mystery surrounding disappearing methane on Mars, that may hint at the presence of life. The gas was detectable by NASA’s Curiosity rover, but absent in readings taken by an orbiting ESA spacecraft.

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station have undertaken three spacewalks over a 10-day period in order to install and power up a new set of roll-out solar arrays to the exterior hull of the orbital outpost.

An advanced spacecraft under development by Boeing is set to swing back into action following a failed attempt to reach the International Space Station in 2019, ahead of crewed flights planned for later in the year.

Procter & Gamble is working with NASA to develop special detergents and washing machines to launder clothes in space. The company's Mission PGTide will test the detergent and other cleaning products aboard the International Space Station in 2022.

Lockheed Martin has been selected by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to design and build the aeroshell and heat shield for the space agency's Mars Sample Retrieval Lander, which will help return the first Martian samples to Earth.

A new study shows that tectonic activity may have caused sections of Venus’ planetary crust to become fragmented into smaller bodies that barge past each other like chunks of ice on water. The planet may still be capable of hosting tectonic activity.

Masten Space Systems is developing a robotic rover that could one day mine water on the Moon using rocket blasts. The Rocket M rover uses rocket pulses to break up ice-bearing lunar soil and collect up to 100 kg of ice particles per day.

In 2018 astronomers claimed to have found a galaxy that didn’t have any dark matter. The controversial study sparked a debate and raised new questions about cosmology. Now, the scientists say they've uncovered further evidence of the odd deficiency.

Scientists have uncovered some new details about the heliosphere. They've produced the first ever map of its boundary, called the heliopause, where solar winds are brought to a stop by the interstellar medium.

After an eventful start to life on Mars that has included capturing the first ever audio recordings on the planet and supporting the Ingenuity helicopter throughout its history-making flights, the Perseverance rover is ready to get down to business.
