NASA is banking on SpaceX’s powerhouse Falcon Heavy rocket for the first time, aiming to send a probe named Psyche to a mysterious asteroid that has the same name this week.

The Federal Aviation Administration has closed its investigation into the flight of an uncrewed Blue Origin New Shepard rocket that ended with its booster destroyed and a capsule that had to use its emergency system.

SpaceX’s reusability juggernaut kept rolling with a Space Coast launch Saturday night that marked the 200th time the company has relied on a previously launched booster to get its payloads to space.

Environmental groups in South Texas argue that a district court misinterpreted the law when it dismissed a lawsuit over closing Boca Chica Beach to allow SpaceX to test its Starship rocket program.

Spaceport America is positioned to capitalize on the future, according to an economic impact report that highlights its unique competitive advantages: location and a proven track record of successful launches.

In this interview with Dick Wilkinson, CTO at Proof Labs, we explore the cyber threats in space and on the Internet of Things, and how they impact each of us.

The images come from a new instrument in space that will provide hourly updates on air pollution across North America — a satellite called TEMPO that tracks pollutants on an hourly basis.

The combination of data and maps is useful for a lot more than just helping you get from point A to point B. Think natural disasters, global supply chains and climate change.

NASA's SpaceX Crew-7 mission successfully docked with the International Space Station on Sunday, a critical piece of yet another mission partnership between the federal space agency NASA and SpaceX.

SpaceX was set to send astronauts to the International Space Station from an overnight launch from Kennedy Space Center early Friday but officially scrubbed the attempt before the crew made it to the launch pad.

Four months after SpaceX's first orbital flight test of Starship Super Heavy ended in a high-altitude explosion over the Gulf of Mexico, the company has submitted a mishap report to the FAA on what went wrong.

Since late last year when Starlink Internet became available in Alaska, thousands of residents have signed up at a pace that's exceeding expectations, observers say, even though the signal is not perfect.

Scientists with the NOAA and NASA showed off a NASA DC-8 airplane parked at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base that is said to be the world's largest flying chemistry laboratory.

NASA's quest to send astronauts to the moon in a spacecraft that later returns to Earth and parachutes into the ocean has gotten a big lift from the Navy, which safely recovered a capsule last week.

The FAA, which is overseeing an investigation into the April 20 launch, said it was still awaiting the report it needs to identify corrective actions SpaceX must take to get the OK to launch again from Boca Chica.

The NASA Flight Dynamics Research Facility, a project some officials have been pursuing for 25 years, will replace two smaller wind tunnels that are around 80 years old.

According to a report by the Puget Sound Regional Council, the growing sector in that state already generates approximately $4.6 billion a year and employs more than 13,000 people.

SpaceX and the FAA are asking a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit by environmental and Indigenous groups seeking a new assessment of the environmental impacts of rocket launches from South Texas.
