NASA intends the Voyager program to continue its historic exploration for at least another few years. But after nearly half a century and billions of miles of cosmic travel, the pair of space probes aren’t the young, spry technological wonders they were back in 1977. Repairs are to be expected, as was the case earlier […]
NASA beamed the latest updates to Voyager 1 and 2 from billion of miles away. The patches could offer another at least five years’ more life.
The Parker Solar Probe’s new top speed could get you from NYC to LA in just 20 seconds. It’s not done yet.
As the Parker Solar Probe dashed close to the star, at one point it reached about 6.5 million miles from the sun’s visible surface.
High-speed impacts between the probe and dust particles are more common than expected and make tiny plumes of plasma on the craft’s surface.
Scientists are hoping to send out a seriously upgraded interstellar space probe, with modern instruments far surpassing those on Voyager.
Thanks to audacious Russian space missions like Venera 13, we have photos from the volcanic face of our neighboring planet.
NASA’s “mole” probe that’s supposed to burrow into Mars’s soil has been stuck on the Red Planet’s surface for months. Now their final gambit—directly pushing the mole into the soil—has shown tentative signs of success, NASA announced Friday on Twitter.
The Parker Space Probe just broke a 40-year-old speed record during its ongoing plunge toward the sun. And that’s not all.
