NASA Glenn Research Center is leading efforts to develop a new space vehicle to replace the space shuttle and take astronauts to the moon and beyond. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration on Monday announced several new exploration work assignments for the Cleveland-based NASA Glenn Rese...
NASA won't release its 70-page report on why the DART spacecraft didn't complete its mission last year because of its sensitive content, the agency said. "The official DART Mishap Investigation Report will not be publicly released because it contains information that is protected by U.S. Internation...
Google took a giant step today, announcing with NASA's Ames Research Center that the two will combine efforts on technology research ranging from the microscopic to the massive. The search engine company and the space agency have signed a memorandum of understanding, but say that discussions have no...
Craigslist announced today that it would expand the odds of finding true love, a vintage couch or a long lost pal by beaming its ads into outer space. "Humans in general seem to like the chance of a long shot, hence the popularity of the missed connections board," craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster said....
NASA's rovers keep rolling toward fresh discoveries. The Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has found an iron meteorite, the first meteorite ever identified on another planet, according to officials with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena. Spectrometers on Opportunity determined that th...
Scientists have found direct evidence that massive objects in space do pull the space surrounding them, a phenomenon called "frame-dragging" that was first predicted in 1918 using Einstein's theory of general relativity. The findings were reported in the journal Nature. Einstein believed that massiv...
The blast-off in a Soyuz spacecraft from Russia's Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan will deploy a replacement crew for Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka and NASA astronaut Michael Fincke, who have manned the orbital platform since April.
In a dramatic ending that marks a beginning in scientific research, NASA's Genesis spacecraft is set to swing by Earth and jettison a sample return capsule filled with particles of the Sun that might ultimately tell us more about the genesis of our solar system. "The Genesis mission -- to capture a ...
Two independent groups seeking to win a private, US$10 million space-travel contest known as the X Prize have announced they are closer to meeting the terms for the prize, with back-to-back, manned flights planned for the fall. The SpaceShipOne team, which achieved mankind's first private space flig...
Aura, a NASA mission dedicated to the health of Earth's atmosphere, successfully launched today at 3:01:59 a.m. Pacific Time from the Western Range of Vandenberg Air Force Base, aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket. Spacecraft separation occurred at 4:06 a.m. Pacific Time, inserting Aura into a 438-mile ...
Known to some in the space community as "the last battlestar," the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft this week is on the verge of finishing its 2.2-billion-mile trip to Saturn as it prepares to get closer to the ringed planet than any other craft in history. Cassini-Huygens is set to slip between two of Sa...
A 62-year-old pilot flew a craft 62 miles from Earth to the edge of space, becoming the world's first privately backed, civilian astronaut and edging a team funded by Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen closer to the X Prize, the cup of the modern space race. Pilot Mike Melvill's flight to suborbital s...
On April 20, a NASA rocket will lift off from Vandenburg Air Force Base carrying one of the most remarkable physics experiments ever attempted. Gravity Probe B will try to answer questions raised by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, proposed in the early years of the 20th century. Whether Gra...
Is it an urban myth, or is it really true that NASA sent the first men to the moon with less computing power than what sits inside today's average desktop? The answer largely depends on how you define "computing power." But however you define it, today's typical PC packs more punch than a 1960s main...
