A newly released NISAR image of Mount Rainier offers an early look at how the NASA-ISRO mission can map land and ice through cloud cover while tracking changes across Earth’s surface on a regular schedule.

NASA has awarded Intuitive Machines a $180.4 million CLPS contract to carry seven science and technology payloads to the Moon’s South Pole region in 2030, extending the agency’s push to use commercial landers to prepare,

NASA has released a detailed launch countdown for Artemis II, outlining the key milestones that begin roughly two days before liftoff for the crewed mission around the Moon

NASA says the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has completed construction and is nearing the end of prelaunch testing, with the mission still targeting launch by May 2027 and potentially as early as fall 2026.

NASA says it is targeting no earlier than April 1 for Artemis II, the first crewed mission of the Artemis program, and has outlined a slate of live coverage for launch preparations, launch day, and the roughly 10-day fly

NASA has set April 1, 2026 as the target launch date for Artemis II, the first crewed flight around the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972, carrying four astronauts on a 10-day mission aboard the Orion spacecraft.

NASA's James Webb and Hubble space telescopes have combined infrared and visible-light observations to produce the most comprehensive view of Saturn ever captured, revealing atmospheric features across multiple altitudes simultaneously.

NASA and JAXA’s XRISM mission has directly measured the speed of superheated gas blasting out of the starburst galaxy M82, offering fresh evidence about what drives galaxy-scale winds.

NASA has moved its Pilatus PC-12 to Armstrong Flight Research Center, turning a proven Glenn research asset into a more flexible platform for agency-wide flight demonstrations and test missions.

New NASA Earth Observatory imagery captures widespread flooding on Oahu after two March kona lows brought torrential rain to Hawaii, with some areas recording more than 30 inches.

NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer has revealed a 'reflected shock effect' at the outer edge of RCW 86 that explains why this 2,000-year-old supernova remnant halted its unusually fast expansion.

When one celestial body passes in front of another, the resulting shadow carries encoded information about the sizes, atmospheres, and compositions of both objects — and astronomers have turned these moments of cosmic alignment into some of the most powerful tools in the scientific arsenal.

A new NASA technology called GUARDIAN uses GPS signals bouncing off the ionosphere to detect tsunamis minutes earlier than conventional seafloor sensor systems, potentially giving coastal communities crucial extra time to evacuate.

NASA has selected 14 university teams as finalists in the 2026 RASC-AL competition, tasking students from MIT, Texas A&M, Dartmouth, and others with designing the communications, power, and sample-return systems that will support human life on the Moon and Mars.

As NASA finalizes preparations for Artemis II — the first crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo — the agency converges with Hollywood in the release of 'Project Hail Mary,' which NASA scientists helped shape and ISS crews screened in orbit.

NASA's X-59 QueSST experimental aircraft has completed its second flight, advancing the program's mission to demonstrate that commercial supersonic flight over land is possible without generating disruptive sonic booms.

As interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS prepares to exit the solar system permanently, NASA has released its complete observational dataset to the public, enabling researchers worldwide to extract discoveries from one of the rarest cosmic visitors ever recorded.

NASA will roll its Space Launch System rocket carrying the Artemis 2 crew back to Kennedy Space Center's launch pad on March 20, maintaining an April 1 target for the first crewed lunar mission since Apollo 17 in 1972.

NASA is preparing its X-59 experimental aircraft for upcoming supersonic test flights as part of the Quesst mission to demonstrate that overland supersonic flight can produce a gentle thump instead of a disruptive sonic boom.

NASA's Office of Inspector General has found the agency's Artemis Human Landing System risk tracking is incomplete and schedule assumptions overly optimistic, recommending tighter SpaceX safety oversight.
