Nasa Probe

NASA's 47-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft recently established contact with Earth after a brief halt with the help of a radio transmitter that has not been used since 1981.

The MIT-led AXIS mission, a finalist in NASA's Probe Explorers competition, is set to investigate the origins of black holes and the universe's high-energy events. Featuring advanced X-ray technology, AXIS will push cosmic boundaries in search of answers to some of astrophysics' most profound questions. If approved, the $1 billion mission will revo...

NASA launched a spacecraft from Florida on Monday on a mission to examine whether Jupiter's moon Europa has conditions suitable to support life, with a focus on the large subsurface ocean believed to be lurking beneath its thick outer shell of ice.

The Hera spacecraft has successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, embarking on an international mission to study the asteroid Dimorphos, which was altered in course by NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) in 2022. Expected to reach its target by December 2026, Hera will examine the impact crater left by the DART mission and deploy two ...

NASA has selected two mission proposals for further study, focusing on X-ray and far-infrared wavelengths to explore key cosmic phenomena. The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite, led by Christopher Reynolds, will investigate supermassive black holes and galaxy evolution. The Probe Far-Infrared Mission, led by Jason Glenn, will examine planetary forma...

China's Chang'e 5 mission has brought new insight into the Moon's volcanic history, suggesting that the volcanic activity might have taken place much sooner than previously believed. Samples of lunar soil, returned to Earth in 2020, contain glass beads formed by volcanic eruptions just 120 million years ago. This is a significant discovery, as it c...

The FAA grounded the Falcon 9 after failing an attempt to land back on Earth during a routine Starlink mission, forcing the company's second grounding this year. SpaceX made the return to flight request for the workhorse vehicle on Thursday and the FAA gave approval on Friday. The agency said flights may resume "provided all other license requirem...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has delivered groundbreaking insights into one of the sun's most perplexing mysteries: why its outer atmosphere, or corona, is significantly hotter than its surface. This phenomenon, known as the "coronal heating mystery," has puzzled scientists for decades. The Parker Solar Probe, which is the fastest human-made object, h...

Water is considered essential for life, and geological studies show the planet's surface had lakes, rivers and oceans more than 3 billion years ago.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has confirmed that it lost contact with the spacecraft Akatsuki, humanity's only mission to Venus. The announcement was made on X (formerly Twitter).

The US space agency has announced that its Voyager-1 probe is once more transmitting coherent data to Earth after a period of garbled communication.

NASA's Voyager 1 probe -- the most distant man-made object in the universe -- is returning usable information to ground control following months of spouting gibberish, the US space agency announced Monday.

US space scientists on Thursday unveiled the interplanetary probe NASA plans to send to one of Jupiter's icy moons as part of humanity's hunt for extra-terrestrial life.

The incident happened on March 8, when a two-pound cylindrical-shaped object crashed through the roof of a family home in Naples, Florida.

According to an analysis of a collision between NASA's DART probe and the asteroid Dimorphos back in September 2022, the tiny asteroid's shape could have changed significantly as a direct result of the impact.
