A manufacturing issue tied to a European supplier has caused corrosion in modules destined for both NASA’s lunar Gateway and Axiom Space’s commercial station plans, adding to schedule and program pressure.

New Mars Express imagery compared with Viking-era views shows a dark ash deposit spreading across Utopia Planitia over roughly five decades, highlighting active wind-driven change on the Martian surface.

After years of delays, partnership shifts and geopolitical disruption, Europe’s first Mars rover mission now has a confirmed launch vehicle: SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy, with liftoff targeted for late 2028.

ESA's Jupiter-bound JUICE spacecraft has observed interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS venting about two tons of water per second, offering scientists a rare chance to study material from beyond the solar system while it is ac

Images from ESA’s Proba-3 mission indicate that slow solar wind in the inner corona can travel three to four times faster than scientists had expected, offering a new look at one of solar physics’ hardest regions to see.

A cluster of ESA-supported satellites launched on Transporter-16 is testing laser links, inter-satellite networking, 5G and in-orbit AI to make orbital data transfer faster and more efficient.

Eight CubeSats and one additional payload backed by the European Space Agency have entered orbit to demonstrate technologies aimed at improving how data is transmitted and processed in space.

ESA's Mars orbiters captured unprecedented data as a massive solar storm hit the Red Planet, causing spacecraft glitches and supercharging Mars's upper atmosphere.

ESA's CHEOPS mission has discovered a fourth exoplanet in the LHS 1903 system that challenges existing models of how planetary systems form and evolve.

ESA's JUICE probe photographed the third known interstellar visitor to our solar system, revealing a glowing coma and sweeping tail as the comet approaches the sun.
