The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and NASA Joint Polar Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2) spacecraft, built by Northrop Grumman Corporation, successfully launched aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket with launch services managed by NASA’s Launch Service...
For Redwire engineers, breaking new ground and developing innovative solutions is all in a day’s work. In 2021, Redwire engineers successfully delivered hardware for a NASA technology demonstration known as the Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator,...
Striking rock formations documented by the rover provide evidence of a drying climate in the Red Planet’s ancient past.
For the past year, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has been traveling through a transition zone from a clay-rich region to one...
Our James Webb Space Telescope has captured a new image of the famous Pillars of Creation—first imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995—that reveals new details about the region.
The three-dimensional pillars look like majestic rock formations but are...
Like a car’s crumple zone, the experimental SHIELD lander is designed to absorb a hard impact.
NASA has successfully touched down on Mars nine times, relying on cutting-edge parachutes, massive airbags, and jetpacks to set spacecraft safely on the surface....
The rover has arrived at a special region believed to have formed as Mars’ climate was drying.
After journeying this summer through a narrow, sand-lined pass, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover recently arrived in the “sulfate-bearing unit,” a long-sought region of...
The kinetic impact of NASA’s DART spacecraft with the Dimorphos asteroid around its larger Didymos parent body has succeeded in shifting its orbit, meaning humankind’s first planetary defence test has been successful.

Observations are continuing of the...
United Launch Alliance (ULA) is configuring an Atlas V 401 rocket atop Space Launch Complex (SLC)-3 at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California to carry the next polar-orbiting weather satellite into space for NOAA and NASA and perform an...

Late this evening, at 23:14 UTC, the DART spacecraft will impact with Dydimos, testing a possible way to redirect an asteroid, providing a feasible maneuver for planet Earth defense from incoming asteroids.
DART was launched on Nov. 23, 2021, aboard...
NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is set to make history next Monday as the world’s first planetary defense test, and the spacecraft’s own “mini-photographer” LICIACube (short for Light Italian CubeSat for Imaging Asteroids) is warming up to capture...
