NASA has had incredible success with its solar missions. On December 14, 2021, NASA's Parker Solar Probe became the first spacecraft to "touch the Sun." Then there is the PUNCH fleet, which, in less than a year since its launch (March 11, 2025), has ...

NASA confirmed its SunRISE small satellites completed launch vibration testing, marking a completed prelaunch milestone ahead of the mission’s planned 2026 rideshare launch.

How well Artemis II manages its risks — untested hardware, deep-space distance, and limited escape options — will shape NASA's plans for future lunar landings and, potentially, human missions to Mars. A serious failure could revive long-standing questions about whether the dangers of deep space still justify sending people there.

When the six tiny spacecraft of NASA's SunRISE (Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment) mission settle into their orbits high above Earth after launching later this year, they'll function as one giant radio dish to track the rumbles of radio bursts coming from deep within the sun's atmosphere,

NASA completes assembly of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. The observatory will enter final testing before launch, providing infrared surveys and cosmic data for astronomy research.
