NASA’s Dragonfly is starting to look less like a collection of spacecraft parts and more like the rotorcraft that will fly across the surface of Titan, Saturn’s hazy moon. The mission reached a major milestone on June 29, when the Dragonfly team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, delivered the […]
GRITSS will demonstrate the feasibility of a new technique for improving precision navigation and geodetic measurements.
Health checks and CubeSat hardware maintenance were the prime research objectives aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday. The Expedition 74 crew members also stowed spacewalking gear, transferred cargo, and checked seats in a Soyuz spacecraft.
The primary goal of this collaboration was to support and validate science data products from NASA's recently launched Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) satellite mission
Cartilage engineering and blood pressure studies to improve health on Earth and in space continued aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The Expedition 74 crew members also serviced an experimental module, configured a temporary sleep station, and began preparing for the return to Earth of three crewmates.
Editor’s note: This post was updated on July 10,2026, to clarify details on the scientific data visualization, and on July 21, 2026, to correct the description of the illustrated graphic. Researchers working with one of NASA’s DRIVE (Diversify, Realize, Integrate, Venture, Educate) Science Centers are closer to unraveling a long-standing solar mystery surrounding the extreme […]
Cartilage engineering and cardiac research to advance human health on and off the Earth topped Monday’s research schedule aboard the International Space Station. The Expedition 74 crew members also continued spacesuit maintenance and cargo operations aboard the orbital outpost.
NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has completed important prelaunch milestones as it prepares to launch nine months ahead of schedule. Engineers at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida raised Roman from horizontal to vertical, signaling preparations are moving forward for upcoming inspections, functional testing, and integration work. Technicians transferred the observatory to NASA […]
Led by ESA (European Space Agency) with contributions from NASA, the Euclid space telescope has discovered 31 of the oldest quasars ever documented. In fact, two are the oldest ever observed, dating back to the universe’s infancy, when it was just 5% of its current age. A new study details the results in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. A quasar occurs when immense amounts of gas and dust […]
