PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's new Mars lander has captured the first sounds of the Martian wind. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory released audio clips of the alien wind Friday. The low-frequency rumblings were collected by the InSight lander during its first ...

A group of undergraduate students in the US has just built a mini satellite that’s about to launch into orbit, in order to help NASA unlock novel insights into how the sun shapes space weather. The small but mighty spacecraft,

Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket launches NASA’s twin ESCAPADE spacecraft into Earth orbit on a mission to study Mars’ space weather.

A multidisciplinary team of undergraduate students from three different universities has designed and built a mini satellite, known as a CubeSat, that will launch into space to gather data in collaboration with NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission.

ESCAPADE’s path through space, relative to the Earth, has the peculiar shape of a kidney bean. In the world of astrodynamics, this is called a staging or libration orbit. It’s a way to keep the spacecraft on a stable trajectory to wait for the opportunity to go to Mars late next year.

What just happened? For decades, scientists have puzzled over the origin of water on the Moon, a resource that could prove vital for future lunar exploration. Since the 1960s, a leading hypothesis has suggested that the Sun itself might be responsible ...
