The technological milestone underscores India’s ambitions to expand its share in the rapidly growing $400 billion global space market.

One of the missions is carrying 10 NASA science instruments to the moon. The other involves a "micro rover" to explore a region in the moon’s far north.

For more than 20 years, NASA has been inching toward the goal of retrieving samples that its Perseverance rover has been collecting on Mars and flying them to Earth.

A new year of space exploration is beginning. The planned missions include several lunar landings, the launch of a new cosmic observatory and China’s rendezvous with an asteroid.

The annual Quadrantid meteor shower has begun, with the best show expected during the early hours of Friday.

Carter saved NASA’s space shuttle program — giving the country perhaps its most iconic and recognizable space vehicle.

The Parker Solar Probe made a fiery dive close to the solar surface on Christmas Eve morning — a key milestone in its mission to study the sun’s outer atmosphere.

New research challenges the idea that the moon formed roughly 4.35 billion years ago after a Mars-sized object smashed into the early Earth.

NASA has pushed back the next astronaut crew's launch to the International Space Station from February to no earlier than late March.

The meteor shower has been going on all month, but shooting stars are expected to ramp up after midnight Friday and in the stretch of darkness before dawn, according to NASA.
