A new partnership is transforming Africa's astronomy research into real businesses and sustainable solutions for communities. Young innovators will now get the mentorship and support to turn their space science ideas into world-changing ventures.
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.
Singapore is launching its first national space agency on April 1st to become a leader in space technology and climate solutions. The move positions the tiny nation to capture opportunities in a global space economy expected to triple by 2040.
Two French space companies are joining forces to tackle the growing problem of space debris, testing technology that could safely remove defunct satellites from low Earth orbit. The partnership shows how collaboration is accelerating solutions to keep space safe for everyone.
Portal Space Systems and Paladin Space are launching the first repeatable debris removal service to clean up Earth's orbit. Their service could remove dozens of small debris pieces in a single mission, making space safer for satellites we all depend on.
NASA is turning the aging International Space Station into a launchpad for its replacements, inviting private companies to build and test new orbital habitats directly on the ISS before it retires in 2030. The creative solution could ensure America never loses access to space while sparking a new era of commercial space exploration.
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.
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.
Astronauts aboard China's Tiangong space station just picked their first crop of cherry tomatoes using a water-saving growing system that could feed future deep space travelers. The success brings humanity one step closer to self-sustaining missions to Mars and beyond.
Industry experts are seeing fresh reasons to feel hopeful about the future of the space economy. New investors are playing bigger roles in government projects, signaling stronger confidence in commercial space ventures.
Japan's HTV-X1 spacecraft just left the International Space Station after four months, but instead of heading straight home, it's starting a three-month mission as an orbiting science lab. This marks a fresh chapter for Japan's next-generation cargo program.
A rocket packed with groundbreaking experiments just blasted off to the International Space Station, carrying research that could help treat osteoporosis and unlock secrets of how planets form. The mission shows how space continues to deliver real solutions for life 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.
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 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.
A new company is joining the race to make space accessible. NASA just selected Vast for its sixth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, launching summer 2027.
Three Chinese astronauts just completed the longest space mission in their nation's history, staying aboard the China Space Station for 210 days. Commander Zhang Lu brought back an apple labeled "safety" as a gift to all science workers.
