Will a four-armed robot replace astronauts in space?
Space changes the rules for almost everything, including how a robot should move. On Earth, legs help us stand, balance and walk across a room. In microgravity, those same legs lose much of their purpose.

SWOT satellite gets clearer ocean data after fix for hidden underwater wave interference
SWOT satellite gets clearer ocean data after fix for hidden underwater wave interference Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Florida State University research published in Science Advances demonstrates a new framework for predicting the motion of kilometer-scale underwater waves that complicate satellite readings of the ocean. By accurately modeling these subsurface waves, scientists can remove their interference from NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography, or...
NASA announces end of long-operating Mars probe's mission
NASA announces end of long-operating Mars probe's mission WASHINGTON, May 29 : NASA announced on Tuesday the end of the mission of its MAVEN spacecraft, which spent more than 11 years orbiting Mars to study the atmosphere of Earth's planetary neighbor, after losing contact with the robotic probe six months ago. MAVEN, short for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, was the U.S. space agency's first mission devoted to observing the Martian atmosphere and its evolution. Launched in 2013, it...
NASA ends MAVEN mission after Mars orbiter falls silent
NASA ends MAVEN mission after Mars orbiter falls silent NASA said on Wednesday it will end its mission studying Mars' atmosphere and evolution after losing contact with its MAVEN spacecraft for six months. MAVEN, which entered Martian orbit in 2014, was designed for a one- to two-year mission but operated for more than a decade before falling silent in December 2025. NASA said Wednesday it will end its mission to study the atmosphere and evolution of Mars after its probe went silent for six...

NASA's Psyche spacecraft returns unfamiliar views of a familiar world
Not quite halfway through a six-year sojourn through the Solar System, a NASA spacecraft used a close encounter with Mars last week as a dress rehearsal for its arrival at the Solar System's largest metal asteroid in 2029. The Psyche mission launched more than two-and-a-half years ago, in October 2023, from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, to kick off a journey of some 2.2 billion miles (3.6 billion km) to reach its unexplored namesake, the asteroid Psyche. The robotic research mission got an...
Unlocking 'the true space age': Impulse Space raises $500 million to build out fleet of ultra-mobile spacecraft
Unlocking 'the true space age': Impulse Space raises $500 million to build out fleet of ultra-mobile spacecraft Impulse Space just got a lot more money to help finance its big ambitions in the final frontier. The California-based company — which was founded in 2021 by propulsion expert Tom Mueller, the first person Elon Musk ever hired at SpaceX — announced today (June 2) that it has raised $500 million in a "Series D" investment round. It will use the funds to scale up the production and...
$1.77 trillion! SpaceX is about to become the 7th-most valuable American company
SpaceX is about to become the 7th-most valuable American company SpaceX's initial public offering (IPO) will launch the company into rarefied financial air. The company revealed this week that it plans to sell shares at $135 apiece during the IPO, which will occur June 12 when SpaceX begins trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol SPCX. That share price would give the company a valuation of $1.77 trillion, according to CNBC.
Should we store Mars samples on the moon to keep alien germs away from Earth?
Should we store Mars samples on the moon to keep alien germs away from Earth? "The moon may become humanity's first line of biological defense." A team of researchers is advocating to use the moon as a secure site for biocontainment of extraterrestrial samples, particularly those from Mars, but also from other potential worlds like Enceladus, a moon of Saturn.
