The standalone Icons set triples the piece count of the 2021 Space Shuttle version and opens up to reveal the telescope's internal instrument bay.
The Artemis II mission used an experimental laser link to beam live video from lunar orbit to 25 million viewers. Radio waves couldn't have done it.
The veteran probe ended a 321-day hibernation on June 23, and Congress saved it from budget cuts just in time to keep science going.
SkyFall will drop three next-gen helicopters directly into the Martian atmosphere — no landing platform required — to hunt for subsurface water ice.
A technical problem with the Pegasus XL rocket forced the LINK spacecraft back to base before it could attempt to save the Swift Observatory from burning up in October.
The Swift Observatory has been dropping out of orbit faster than expected. A $30M contract with an Arizona startup may be its only shot at survival.
The NASA chief and SpaceX's biggest backer both endorse antimatter propulsion research. The science is real; the price tag is almost incomprehensible.
The quiet supersonic jet reached Mach 1.4 at 55,000 feet on June 12 — exactly the conditions it needs for upcoming community noise surveys.
A double-bubble fuselage, electric tail fans, and no need for hydrogen: Electra's turbo-electric regional jet targets 17% better fuel efficiency without reinventing airport infrastructure.
The Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment, revealed in New York on June 7, is the inner layer of the AxEMU spacesuit built for NASA's Artemis IV lunar landing in early 2028.
The quiet supersonic demonstrator hit Mach 1.077 on June 5, and now the real battle shifts to regulators who could lift a 53-year ban on supersonic flight over land.
A trailer-sized treatment facility at the University of North Dakota is showing how future Moon and Mars crews could close the loop on water, nutrients, and even 3D-printing plastic.
The experimental jet could reopen US skies to supersonic passenger flight for the first time in over 50 years, if its "quiet boom" holds up in testing.
A Cambridge-led team has made the first direct mass measurement of a black hole from the universe's first billion years — and it appears to have no galaxy around it.
