Two early-career researchers just earned NASA fellowships to tackle critical challenges keeping astronauts healthy in space. Their work on space food and eye health could benefit people on Earth too.
A team of NASA volunteers just discovered that the microbes we usually fear might be essential allies for surviving in space. Their research reveals how biofilms could protect astronaut health and grow food on future deep space missions.
After 25 years of operations, the International Space Station saw its first medical evacuation in January 2026, but the story reveals how remarkably safe space travel has become. The successful return of Crew-11 highlights decades of advances in keeping astronauts healthy hundreds of kilometers above Earth.
Astronauts just captured the first diagnostic X-rays in orbit, using a portable device that could transform medical care on future space missions. Three crew members with only four hours of training proved the technology works as well in space as it does on Earth.
European astronauts are testing a revolutionary exercise machine that could solve one of space travel's biggest health challenges. The compact gym system arrives at the International Space Station in April 2026 to help keep crews strong for longer missions to the Moon and Mars.
A Hyderabad space startup just became the first company to receive funding from India's new billion-dollar space venture fund. The Rs 60 crore investment marks a major milestone for India's growing private space sector.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu is rallying nations to invest in science-backed health systems and collaborative solutions. Her World Health Day message champions the One Health approach that connects human, animal, and environmental wellbeing.
Congress just voted to keep the International Space Station flying until 2032, buying time for American companies to launch commercial space stations before China dominates orbit. The move ensures astronauts never have to leave low Earth orbit.
The Space Foundation's CEO shares how nations are working together to expand humanity's reach beyond Earth. New programs are building the workforce that will power the next generation of space exploration.

Astronauts launching to the International Space Station will help solve a critical health mystery: why weightlessness might cause dangerous blood clots. Their research could protect future crews traveling to the Moon and Mars.
Engineers at MIT developed the first online platform connecting space habitat design with astronaut mental health, helping designers create spaces where crews thrive, not just survive. The tool could also improve life in submarines, polar stations, and disaster shelters.
China is expanding international partnerships in space exploration, including lunar missions, asteroid defense, and cleaning up space debris. The initiative aims to create shared benefits for all nations through collaborative space technology.
A butterfly emerged from its chrysalis aboard China's Tiangong space station and quickly learned to fly in zero gravity, opening new possibilities for space farming. The experiment used minimal life support, proving insects can thrive in harsh space conditions.
China is preparing to launch a powerful new space telescope in 2027 that will survey the cosmos with 300 times the field of view of the Hubble Space Telescope. The groundbreaking observatory can even dock with China's space station for astronaut repairs and upgrades.
Five liberal arts students just showed NASA how space-age health monitoring technology could save lives in mines, firehouses, and emergency rooms. Their four-month journey proves you don't need an engineering degree to launch the next big innovation in health care.
European space engineers just pulled off what many thought impossible: reviving a spacecraft that went silent months ago in deep space. Using AI detection and creative problem-solving, they turned a "dead" mission into a historic comeback.
Scientists sent bacteria and viruses to the International Space Station, and their mutations in space revealed new ways to combat drug-resistant infections back on Earth. The discovery could help millions suffering from infections that no longer respond to antibiotics.
A California company founded by SpaceX's first employee just raised half a billion dollars to make moving around in space as easy as delivery trucks on Earth. The technology could slash costs and supercharge everything from satellite repairs to Mars missions.
