SpaceX recently launched 60 satellites into orbit around Earth as part of its Starlink programme.
Understanding isolation’s effects on regular people, rather than those certified to have ‘the right stuff,’ will help prepare us for the future, whether another pandemic or interplanetary space travel.
Governments and corporations must get serious about the legal, technical, economic, social and ethical implications of a potential space-based resource economy.
Delay has turned space mission ExoMars2020 into ExoMars2022.
The Earth and the Moon were long thought to be virtually identical in composition. Now we know they are not.
The InSights mission is producing the first evidence-based picture of Mars’s interior.
Sex technologies and ‘erobots’ could help address issues related to human desire, and physical and emotional needs of astronauts in space.
In preparation for possible future missions to Mars, scientists figure out how to quickly and efficiently measure brain performance and mental fatigue.
