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...

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced a new launch date for its SSLV-D3 mission. The launch, which was initially scheduled for August 15, 2024, has been rescheduled to August 16, 2024. This delay applies to the EOS-08 satellite, which will be launched aboard the third and final developmental flight of the Small Satellite Launc...

SpaceX is aiming to break new barriers in polar exploration with the first manned space mission over the Earth's poles -- a private flight commanded by a crypto entrepreneur later this year, the company said Tuesday.

NASA has officially decommissioned the NEOWISE mission, a key component of its planetary defense strategy. Over its more than 10-year lifespan, NEOWISE exceeded its objectives by detecting thousands of asteroids and comets, including many near-Earth objects that could potentially pose a threat to our planet. The infrared data collected by the space...

NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick, aboard the International Space Station, recently captured an extraordinary image of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft with a vibrant green aurora in the background. The photograph, taken during Expedition 71 in 2024, showcases the breathtaking beauty of space and the fascinating interplay between solar activity and Earth...

NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, currently aboard the International Space Station (ISS), are experiencing an extended mission due to technical difficulties with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. Initially scheduled for an eight-day mission, the astronauts are now facing an uncertain return timeline. Problems with Starliner's thruster...

The August 26 launch of SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn mission will make history with the first private spacewalk. Orbiting Earth at 435 miles, Polaris Dawn is a pioneering step in commercial spaceflight.

Meta is looking to hire employees to expand its foray in the generative AI space, as part of its metaverse team. As per a new job listing, could integrate GenAI with its metaverse-related efforts, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) elements – that together make for components of the metaverse

Space junk, or space debris, is a growing problem that poses a global threat to space exploration and human safety. Space junk is basically any machinery or debris left in space by humans.

A top US official said on Monday that progress in the bilateral relationship with India has finally achieved "escape velocity", using a term from space exploration to describe the velocity required by a body to soar without the pull of gravity.

NASA will soon provide advanced training to Indian astronauts to send a joint mission to the International Space Station this year or shortly thereafter, US envoy to India Eric Garcetti has said.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman Sreedhara Panicker Somanath attended a programme at a school on Sunday and said that the space agency aims to explore human space flight activities and build space stations.

US space agency NASA is hoping to land the first humans on Mars by the 2030s and SpaceX chief Elon Musk recently said that humans could be living in a city on the Red Planet in the next 30 years.

Chinese commercial space company CAS Space announced its "space tourism vehicle" will first fly in 2027 and travel to the edge of space in 2028, state media reported on Friday.

Throughout the annals of American space exploration, a select few spacecraft have had the distinction of carrying human beings beyond Earth.
