Within the span of a few days, another SpaceX Starship broke up on re-entry, and two other space companies faced failures. This reflects a new "fail-fast, learn-fast" ethos of spacecraft development.

Nearly two months after an explosion sent flaming debris raining down on the Turks and Caicos, SpaceX launched another mammoth Starship rocket but lost contact minutes into the test flight.

The new 8.5-foot telescope is set to launch this Tuesday by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory with a clear objective: to explore the origins of the universe.

President Trump launched the Artemis program to return U.S. astronauts to the moon for the first time since Apollo. Now, the plan could be a casualty of the cost-cutting drive overseen by Elon Musk.

Ryan Dowdy, a former NASA food scientist, won a USDA innovation grant to further develop a meal replacement bar for first responders. Trump's freeze on government awards has jeopardized those plans.

This week was hard on the conflict-averse. But if you're up on nursery rhymes, prehistoric bodily fluids and Renaissance art, you'll get at least three right this week.

Trump says Americans should look to the stars, by sending astronauts to Mars.

In a two-for-one moonshot, SpaceX launched a pair of lunar landers Wednesday for U.S. and Japanese companies looking to jumpstart business on Earth's dusty sidekick.

This moon phase is nicknamed the Wolf Moon, which is rooted in Native American culture.

There are at least 19,000 pieces of space debris in Earth's orbit, not including active satellites, that the U.S is monitoring.

The next supermoon — which appears larger and brighter than a regular full moon due to its proximity to Earth — will not be visible for nearly a year.

Three NASA astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut splashed down off the Florida coast early Friday, capping a nearly eight-month science and research mission to the International Space Station.

This time next year, NASA plans to send its first crewed mission to the moon in more than 50 years. NPR visited the facility to find out how astronauts are preparing for this high stakes exploration.

The spacecraft landed in New Mexico early Saturday morning leaving two astronauts behind on the International Space Station. The crew members will return to earth in February aboard a SpaceX craft.

An empty Boeing Starliner is scheduled to return from the International Space Station in early September. It will fly home autonomously while its crew remains in space until February.
