Following a comprehensive internal review, NASA announced Wednesday its intent to discontinue development of its VIPER (Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover) project.
NASA cited rising costs, delays in the launch schedule, and the risks of further cost growth as reasons for halting the mission. The rover was initially set to launch in late 2023, but in 2022, NASA requested a del

A new study has advanced the navigation of spacecraft between Earth and the Moon using the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). By utilizing an adaptive Kalman filter, the research addresses issues such as weak signals and poor observation conditions near the Moon, significantly enhancing the accuracy and reliability of future space missions.

NASA has transported the core stage of its Space Launch System (SLS) rocket from New Orleans to Florida, marking a significant milestone in preparation for the Artemis II mission, the agency's first crewed lunar flight under the Artemis program.
The massive core stage was carefully moved from the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans to NASA's Pegasus barge, which will carry it over 900

Hot Jupiters are some of the most extreme planets in the galaxy. These scorching worlds are as massive as Jupiter, and they swing wildly close to their star, whirling around in a few days compared to our own gas giant's leisurely 4,000-day orbit around the sun.
Scientists suspect, though, that hot Jupiters weren't always so hot and in fact may have formed as "cold Jupiters," in more frigid
