The Nancy Grace Roman telescope will probe dark energy and discover exoplanets.
A new mission to save NASA’s Swift observatory shows why catching a satellite that was never designed for rescue is one of the hardest jobs in spaceflight.
A lunar base could allow for research, economic activities and lunar mining. Such an operation has potential benefits, but lots of challenges await NASA.
Suitable spots for establishing human outposts at the south pole are finite.
Jenni Gibbons will be lead capsule communicator for NASA’s Artemis III mission, Gordon Osinski is on the science team and Canada also contributes a robotic Lunar Utility Vehicle.
Lunar architecture isn’t just an engineering challenge. At its heart, it is about understanding human experience at the extremes.
