A NASA spacecraft successfully crashed into an asteroid approximately 6.8 million miles (10.9 million kilometers) from Earth in a test to determine if the impact can nudge the space rock slightly off course.

The European Space Agency on Wednesday announced the names of seven astronauts that would be trained by the agency to embark on NASA's Artemis II moon mission. Astronauts from France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, and the UK will train for the US space agency's upcoming 'Lunar Gateway' orbiting module, and three astronauts will be selected for the missi...

India’s first human space-flight mission Gaganyaan is expected to launch in 2024, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said. The government had planned the space flight for 2021, but the schedule got delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

NASA on Saturday stated that its next Artemis I SLS-Orion spacecraft launch may not take place this month. While the current launch window ends on September 6, the next possible launch window is September 19 to October 4. If NASA is unable to make a third attempt at launching the rocket by then, the next window will be October 17 to October 31.

NASA will launch its Artemis ! rocket today, marking the agency's first step towards returning humans to the Moon's surface. The US space agency's lunar mission involves sending its Orion spacecraft along with satellites in order to perform testing on conditions in space, before NASA sends astronauts to the Moon. Here's everything you need to know ...

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are conducting biology experiments aimed at studying how skin heals in space. The study could benefit both astronauts in space, and human life on Earth. The US space agency's Expedition 67 mission began in March this year and is aimed at conducting research and investigations that will facilitate h...

Saudi Arabia has signed the Artemis Accords as part of the kingdom’s commitment to safe, sustainable, and responsible space exploration, a move welcomed by the US. The NASA-led Artemis program will put the first woman and first person of colour on the Moon and prepare the way for a human mission to Mars. So far, 21 countries have signed the Artem...

European Space Agency's Mars Express mission captured an image of Aonia Terra, a crater-filled region in the Red Planet's southern hemisphere. One of the images shows a crater encircled by winding channels. A closer look would suggest that the image looks eerily like a human eyeball.

Jeff Bezos' space company Blue Origin plans to launch its fifth human mission NS-21 on June 4. NS-21 is set to launch from Blue Origin's West Texas facility on Saturday during a window that opens at 9am EDT (6:30pm IST). Six individuals will fly on NS-21, states Blue Origin on its website.

The Indian Space Research Organisation is taking help of doctors in building its human-rated spacecraft for the Gaganyaan mission. This will be India's first human spaceflight to take astronauts into a low earth orbit.

NASA and Boeing say its Starliner space capsule is ready for its uncrewed launch this week to the International Space Station, a long-delayed test mission meant to demonstrate the aerospace giant can safely fly humans in space.

Scientists for the first time have grown seeds in soil from the moon - samples retrieved during NASA missions in 1969 and 1972 - in an achievement that heralds the promise of using earthly plants to support human outposts on other worlds.
