Three scientists have become NASA's first certified Artemis II science officers, bringing lunar geology expertise directly into Mission Control. They'll guide astronauts in real-time observations during humanity's first crewed Moon flyby in over 50 years.
For the first time in over 50 years, humans are heading back to the Moon. NASA launched 15 science missions, flew two crewed flights, and rolled out the Artemis II spacecraft in just one year.
South Korea's pioneering research institute started in a 10-pyeong room with three people and helped transform a poor nation into a tech powerhouse. Now KIST is tackling seven world-changing missions from AI to Alzheimer's drugs.
NASA's Mission Control in Houston is proving that teamwork on the ground is just as vital as astronauts in space, successfully guiding the Artemis II crew toward the moon with zero major issues. Over 50 years after the first moon missions, the same principles of careful decision-making and crew safety are bringing humanity back to deep space.
NASA's science director revealed an ambitious plan to launch multiple smaller space missions instead of waiting years for billion-dollar spacecraft. The shift could mean more discoveries across our solar system happening faster than ever before.
Scientists are calling for more collaborations between artists and researchers to rebuild public confidence in science. The strategy comes as funding cuts threaten research programs worldwide.
NASA is moving up its next space station crew launch to September to squeeze in more research before the ISS retires at the end of the decade. The agency will stick with six-month missions to keep astronauts rotating efficiently through humanity's orbital laboratory.
A major science organization is launching a digital series that shows how Earth science research translates into real solutions for communities worldwide. The series premiews in December 2026 and goes global in January 2027.
A private space company is about to send the first commercial lunar rover to the Moon carrying four NASA experiments that could unlock secrets about future moon bases. The mission launches later this year, marking a new era of public-private space exploration.
A dying space telescope that's surveyed the universe for over two decades is getting a robotic rescue mission this summer. If successful, the daring $30 million operation could extend Swift's life by 10 years and open new possibilities for saving science equipment in space.
The United States just launched a radical new mission to make scientific breakthroughs happen in weeks instead of years using artificial intelligence. This isn't just about faster research—it's about reshaping which countries will lead the world's next wave of discoveries.
MIT researchers are joining a major national effort to revolutionize scientific discovery using artificial intelligence. The Department of Energy selected 15 MIT projects for its Genesis Mission, which combines AI with supercomputing to accelerate breakthroughs in energy, medicine, and national security.
Mark Rober, the viral YouTube creator behind glitter bomb traps and backyard engineering marvels, is on a mission to transform how America's classrooms teach science. His secret weapon? Making curiosity so contagious that students can't look away.
Ten scientists will help astronauts conduct groundbreaking research during humanity's return to the Moon's South Pole. They'll guide everything from rock collection to instrument deployment as we take our next giant leap toward Mars.
China is preparing to launch its first planetary defense mission in December 2027, aiming a spacecraft at asteroid 2016 WP8 to test humanity's ability to protect Earth from space threats. The mission marks another nation joining the effort to keep our planet safe from asteroids.
Scientists could discover breakthroughs 100 times faster thanks to AI systems that run experiments from start to finish. The Genesis Mission is combining America's brightest minds with cutting-edge technology to revolutionize research.
Over 900 Calgary students from Grade 5 to 12 are presenting their self-designed science experiments at the city's largest youth science fair this weekend. Two Grade 12 students developed a promising wound infection detector using red cabbage extract after a cooking accident sparked their curiosity.
NASA's Artemis II mission just brought humanity back to the moon, and over 100 million people followed along online. While it didn't match Apollo 11's legendary reach, the mission proved space exploration still captivates us in a fragmented media age.
Two spacecraft just completed their first test phase in deep space and are now preparing for a groundbreaking journey to Mars that could unlock secrets needed for future human exploration. The mission proves that innovative partnerships can deliver world-class science faster and cheaper than ever before.
Four astronauts splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean after completing humanity's first crewed journey around the Moon in over 50 years. The successful mission marks a giant leap forward for NASA's plan to return humans to the lunar surface.
