ESA's Hera asteroid mission for planetary defense will make a swingby of Mars next March, borrowing speed to help reach its ...
"Like detectives, we used all known information regarding this Kamo‘oalewa and the lunar surface to derive a scenario for the ...
The Hera mission will study the Dimorphos asteroid that was pushed off course by NASA’s DART spacecraft in 2022 ...
She was the Coordination Lead on NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission. Chabot is a planetary scientist who is such a big deal that she got an asteroid named after her.
In a paper, a team of NASA researchers proposed how spacecraft could search for evidence of additional physical within our solar systems. This search, they argue, would be assisted by the ...
But because Europa is constantly bombarded by intense radiation created by Jupiter’s magnetic field, the Clipper spacecraft can’t orbit the moon itself. Instead, it will slide into an eccentric orbit ...
In an environment with almost no gravity, there is no traction between a spacecraft's wheels and the surface it drives across; there is barely any atmosphere for a spacecraft to fly through if ...
In a daring deep space experiment, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission aimed to investigate the potential for deflecting an asteroid’s path by deliberately colliding a spacecraft ...
The collision with the DART spacecraft resulted in a large amount of rock and dust being dispersed into space. This ...
A new analysis of the debris ejected from the asteroid Dimorphos when NASA slammed the DART spacecraft into it has revealed that some of the rocks could be on a collision course with Mars. That ...
NASA's next moon spacecraft for humans made one small leap into an altitude chamber for vital testing before it brings astronauts on board. The Orion spacecraft for Artemis 2 is slated to fly ...
