Researchers from the Colorado School of Mines, Missouri University of Science and Technology and Auburn University will develop construction technology and electronics for long-term colonies on the moon.

The Connecticut-based robotic telescope company has announced a more classroom-friendly version of its online tool for students, expanding access to its network of telescopes for hands-on astronomy lessons.

An advanced weather satellite completed the first 1,800 feet of its journey Monday at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, but is primed for another 22,000 miles after a planned liftoff this afternoon.

Researchers at the university will launch a rocket loaded with instruments from NASA, Dartmouth College, University of New Hampshire, University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo and the U.S. Air Force Academy.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it was pushing the target date to complete its environmental review of SpaceX’s plans to March, after the agency was aiming to finish the review by the end of December.

The SpaceX founder gave an update on Starship development from the company's Texas site, saying the historic location of the first orbital test launch of a Starship-Super Heavy vehicle depends on a federal ruling.

In partnership with the NASA HUNCH program, seniors at the Lebanon County Career and Technology Center are drawing and 3D modeling parts for handrails that will be used to help astronauts stay stationary in zero gravity.

Elon Musk said he anticipates that, with Federal Aviation Administration approval, the SpaceX Starship will reach orbit by the end of the year from Texas. It would be the most powerful rocket to ever do so.

A team of university researchers is tracking the trajectory of the 4-ton rocket booster, which detached from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched in 2015, as it approaches impact with the moon on March 4.

Soon, weather scientists will be getting an even stronger pair of eyes in the sky once a new advanced weather satellite launches this March from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

Despite early misconceptions that the Space Force was not a real branch of the military, organizers have been recruiting high school and college-age students, as well as adults from Lima and other areas in Ohio.

After winning the contract, the Oklahoma City company will now help NASA explore space, providing critical software products, services, and engineering support for the next five years.

Chemical engineering students led research into the effects of microgravity on various polymers, with the hope of ascertaining what the International Space Station could use to minimize bacterial transmission.

It's the third annual state of space report since leaders came together in 2019 to discuss world efforts to harness the economic potential of space and threats posed by competing nations, particularly China and Russia.

SpaceX's test launch of a Starship prototype took another step this month with the FCC granting a temporary permit for communications between Starship SN20 and the ground station during the flight.

In an email to company employees, Elon Musk said SpaceX, under which the satellite broadband service Starlink is housed, could face bankruptcy if it's unable to accelerate its engine production.

NASA plans to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid in the “world’s first planetary defense test mission” of its kind. Although the plan might sound like the basis of a science fiction disaster movie, it’s not.

The amount of floating junk in space is increasing. The pieces of debris may pose issues for companies like SpaceX, Amazon and Boeing, all of which plan to launch new satellites for broadband connectivity.
