Three of Europe’s largest aerospace companies have agreed to combine their space businesses into a new joint venture intended to better compete in the global market.

From dew at dawn to a foggy mirror after a shower, condensation is part of our daily lives on Earth. In space, microgravity alters how heat flows through gases and liquids, a potential enemy for spacecraft electronics needing to cool down in extreme environments.

Hungary has become the latest country to sign the Artemis Accords, outlining norms of behavior for sustainable space exploration.

Quantum Space says it plans to launch its first Ranger spacecraft in mid-2026 to demonstrate its capabilities for national security missions.

Chinese space authorities reached a new milestone this week as they tested a reusable rocket that they hope to use to join the United States, Japan and other nations in the bid for space dominance. On Monday, Chinese company LandSpace executed a static-fire test with its 217-foot-tall Zhuque-3 rocket launcher. The rocket is on the way to its inaugural test flight expected at some point

Meteorites are vital tools for investigating planetary formation and evolution, yet most are lost to atmospheric and geological processes on Earth. Carbonaceous Ivuna-type (CI) chondrites are particularly rare, representing less than one percent of terrestrial meteorite finds. The Moon, with its minimal atmosphere and geological activity, offers a unique preservation environment for such meteori

In a new analysis, physicists provide the most precise picture yet of how neutrinos change 'flavor' as they travel through the cosmos. Neutrinos are fundamental particles of the universe, but also some of the most elusive; They pass through everything and can be extremely difficult to detect. While many of their properties are mysterious, scientists know neutrinos come in three types: ele

Researchers in China have unveiled a previously unknown pattern in solar radio emissions, observed during a major flare on May 8, 2024. The discovery comes from observations made using the Chashan Broadband Solar Radio Spectrometer (CBSm), which records solar signals between 90 and 600 MHz. Scientists identified a series of bright, narrow bands drifting slowly down in frequency, each less than 1
