Laser technology could soon replace fuel in space, launching humanity into a new era of light-speed exploration
Spacecraft could one day glide through the cosmos without the need for traditional fuel, thanks to a groundbreaking discovery. A new study published in Advanced Science reveals that laser light can propel spacecraft by using graphene,
The acquisition of the radio frequency signal from the Artemis II crewed mission to the moon by NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) is indicated by the peak in the data signal shown on the top computer screen.
This afternoon, as part of the Artemis II mission, a 322-foot rocket is set to lift off, sending a crew of Americans and a Canadian on a 10-day journey around the moon and back. No landing this time, but they’ll push farther from Earth than any humans ever have.

NASA's Artemis II crew commits to moon trajectory after critical burn sends Orion into deep space
NASA's Artemis II mission completes a critical engine burn, propelling the Orion spacecraft and its four-person crew out of Earth orbit toward the moon.
The Pasadena lab plays a key role in data exchange and communications between four Artemis II astronauts and mission control. For many, the moon mission is the first time they’ll support a human space flight.
The Orion spacecraft will take four crew members and one commode around the moon and back as part of the Artemis II mission. In April 2025, National Geographic worked with NASA and filmed the astronauts at an Orion space capsule model in Houston.
Best Nutella commercial ever 😂,” one commenter wrote on the video of the chocolate hazelnut spread floating in microgravity
A new NASA spacecraft has started tracking the particle streams that can make a massive solar flare dangerous while mapping the Sun’s shield. That pairing connects short-term storm warnings near Earth with the far boundary that helps block harsher radiation from deep space.
The mission, called Space Reactor 1 Freedom, will test advanced nuclear electric propulsion. Upon reaching Mars, the spacecraft would deploy helicopters to explore the planet from the air. This technology could also be used to power a future longterm base ...
Here is everything you need to know about Artemis II's splashdown, including how to watch live, the timeline, and what happens after the Orion spacecraft lands in the Pacific Ocea
