After multiple years of work, along with some setbacks, students in Centaurus High School's physics club are ready to build a space plane with a goal of contributing to climate change research.

The Parker Solar Probe, partly designed by students and researchers in Colorado, survived its closest encounter with our sun late last week, passing a mere 3.8 million miles from its surface.

At a headquarters in Kent, Wash., engineers are assembling giant barrel-shaped sections of a rocket and two very different engines designed to make not just the booster but the upper stage of the spacecraft reusable.
