Astronauts on deep space missions can now create medical-grade IV fluid whenever they need it, thanks to a coffee-maker-sized device heading to the International Space Station. The breakthrough solves a critical problem: IV bags expire in 16 months, but Mars missions could last three years.
New research reveals that even after six months in weightlessness, astronauts' brains can't shake their lifelong memory of gravity. The surprising discovery could change how we train crews for future Moon and Mars missions.
Latvia will sign the Artemis Accords on April 20, joining 61 other nations committed to peaceful, transparent space exploration. The agreement sets international guidelines for Moon and Mars missions as humanity's next chapter in space begins.
Scientists are learning to grow fresh vegetables and protein-rich algae aboard the International Space Station to feed astronauts on future trips to the Moon and Mars. Four new experiments just arrived to help solve one of space exploration's biggest challenges: keeping crews fed millions of miles from home.
Four astronauts are about to complete humanity's deepest space journey in over 50 years, bringing home crucial data for future Moon bases and Mars missions. NASA teams are focused on safely landing the crew off San Diego's coast Friday after their groundbreaking voyage around the Moon.
Scientists studied mice on the International Space Station and discovered a critical "gravity threshold" needed to maintain muscle strength. The findings could revolutionize how astronauts prepare for long Mars missions.
After more than 50 years, astronauts are heading back to the Moon this April with technology that could unlock Mars and reshape our search for life beyond Earth. Cornell scientists say this isn't just one mission—it's the launchpad for decades of discovery.
NASA engineers are testing technology that turns lunar ice into rocket fuel, solving one of space exploration's biggest problems. The breakthrough could slash costs and make long-term Moon and Mars missions possible.
Four astronauts rocketed toward the International Space Station Friday to restore full operations after NASA's first medical evacuation in 65 years of human spaceflight. The SpaceX crew will spend nine months conducting groundbreaking health research to prepare for future moon and Mars missions.
A new international crew safely launched to the International Space Station on Friday the 13th, ending a month-long shortage after NASA's first medical evacuation in 65 years. The four astronauts will spend nine months aboard while testing new medical technology for future moon and Mars missions.
Germany is building a new mission control center dedicated to future moon and Mars missions, positioning itself as Europe's leader in human space exploration. The facility will employ 200 staff and support operations for NASA's Gateway lunar station by 2030.
As commercial moon bases and Mars missions shift from science fiction to reality, researchers are urging the world to tackle a critical question: how does space affect human reproduction? A new study reveals urgent gaps in our knowledge and calls for international guidelines before we venture too far from Earth.
For the first time in years, NASA's Curiosity rover turned on LED lights to photograph a Martian drill site at night, revealing hidden rock textures scientists couldn't see in daylight. The experiment worked so well it could change how future Mars missions study the Red Planet.
Every rupee note in your wallet features an iconic Indian monument with centuries of history. From sun temples to Mars missions, these architectural wonders turn everyday currency into portable museums.
