At a boarding school in Switzerland, the Rosenberg Space Habitat allows students to explore hands-on what it will take to work, explore and live well on the moon.

Owensboro Innovation Middle School, or iMiddle as it's called locally in Kentucky, used a $41,445 grant to purchase an inflatable, portable planetarium made by NASA for the purposes of interactive lessons.

The uncrewed mission is the first test flight for a huge rocket built by Boeing, with Monday being the earliest window for take off and Friday and next Monday providing other potential windows.

A team of mostly amateurs from around the country — but based out of Tampa, Fla. — built a CubeSat, which is a miniature, cubed-shaped satellite that has been used in space exploration in recent years.

The Space Launch Delta 45 weather squadron forecast predicts only a 50 percent chance for favorable launch conditions with thunderstorms threatening the Space Coast in the afternoon and evening.

The NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars program challenged community college students to design a mission to the moon or Mars, including cost calculation, engineering work and studying the surface.

Texas State Highway 130, which connects Austin with San Antonio, is an innovation corridor using high-tech satellite imaging to find tiny flaws in pavement and other structures in need of maintenance.

The resolution cites 20 separate reasons for the statement of support for SpaceX, among them the company's investment of more than $1 billion in its Boca Chica facility, including over $400 million on operations in 2021.

An East Texas company on Thursday was ordered to pay $275,000, and serve three years probation, for supplying potentially tainted rocket fuel to NASA, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

From satellite Internet to ground-station-as-a-service, space tech is a big — and increasingly well-funded — deal that's poised to have a big impact on state and local government.

Seattle's Avalanche Energy and Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation received undisclosed amounts of funding from the Pentagon's Defense Innovation Unit to further develop two different approaches to small-scale nuclear power.

NASA projects are experiencing their largest collective cost overruns and schedule delays from their original baselines since this reporting began in 2009, though six projects account for the majority of these overruns.

These miniature nuclear power plants under development as a source of clean electricity for the United States — and for deployment in space — would be smaller than standard shipping containers.

The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday released the results of its Final Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) of SpaceX's orbital launch plans for the company's Boca Chica site.

In March, the U.S. House of Congress quietly gave the National Air and Space Intelligence Center at Ohio’s Wright-Patterson Air Force Base a role in the investigation of unidentified flying objects.

NASA is creating an independent team to study “events in the sky” that defy explanation, but it is not using the term UFO, instead calling them “unidentified aerial phenomena,” which is considered more accurate.

The University of Colorado Boulder and the University of California Berkeley were recently selected by NASA to build a probe to record measurements for both neutral gases and plasma at different points around the Earth.

The Federal Aviation Administration again has delayed completion of its environmental review of SpaceX's plans for an orbital launch of its Starship and Super Heavy rocket from Boca Chica, Texas.
