Koch and Meir performed a third successful spacewalk to repair old batteries on the ISS. Early this week, NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir once again made history as they accomplished their third spacewalk to replace the aging batteries at the International Space Station.
While the Artemis mission is on its way, NASA is taking mankind further into space and into the asteroid belt with its new mission. This will be the first time for humanity to have a close-up look at the Trojan asteroids.
This new year marks a new chapter for the agency as they try to achieve another giant leap for mankind. Earlier, NASA introduced the new spacesuits that will be worn by the astronauts that will embark on the Artemis mission.
TESS is off to a good start as the planet hunter discovers an Earth-like exoplanet orbiting a red dwarf star. However, debates are still going on regarding whether or not the planet is habitable or not.
NASA lost contact with its tiny satellite that was designed to look for exoplanets. This weekend, NASA's mission operators at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California lost contact with Arcsecond Space Telescope Enabling Research in Astrophysics or ASTERIA, a satellite designed to study exoplanets.
ICESat-2 has harvested more data than its predecessor and it helps scientists, big time. Satellite launching -- especially those that are observing Earth -- is not exactly news unless of course, the satellites are from private companies like SpaceX or Boeing so when NASA's observation satellite ICESat-2 was launched last September 2018, it was regarded as just another day at work.
Fire plays on a different set of rules in space and in this experiment, astronauts try to understand the science of combustion in zero-gravity environments.
There is no stopping humans in exploring space. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration ended the decade with the unveiling the Mars 2020 rover which is scheduled to set off to Mars.
They may crash hard but these space agencies are not giving up on space missions. Spaceflight is not always about success. Sometimes, a slight change in calculations can send spacecraft crashing but if there is a silver lining in these failed missions, it's that astronomers and engineers have improved their theories in creating spacecraft that will eventually complete their mission.
In 15 years, the Opportunity Rover provided remarkable discoveries that mark a great change in how we view the universe. Because of that, we end the decade optimistic about future space missions.
Images were captured documenting the situation from every angle, even evaluated the soil and the rocks in the area and mimicked those characteristics here on Earth to do some testing. As if like the mole is already tired of the whole mission, the camera was able to document that the mole popped out of Martian crust.
Boeing and NASA entered a partnership to efficiently and safely transport astronauts to International Space Station. However, this collaboration encountered a minor setback.
NASA attributes the advances in space science with its partnership with the private sector but will it continue to uphold scientific discovery over business ventures?
The Juno spacecraft was able to discover the giant storm during its death-dodging flyby last November 3 and it was observed that the Texas-sized storm is made up of six other cyclones.
