It’s sometimes easy to overlook the fact that the International Space Station (ISS) is a giant lab where scientists study everything from biology to physics—but in space. This extraordinary resource makes extraordinary research possible—like creating a fifth state of matter in space.

NASA on Tuesday announced it had selected Astrobotic, which is set to be acquired by Voyager Technologies, along with Firefly Aerospace and Intuitive Machines for four robotic deliveries to the lunar surface in late 2028,

A preliminary satellite assessment by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration estimated that 58,870 buildings were damaged or destroyed after the twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24.

NASA selected three more companies to send robotic landers to the moon as part of efforts to establish a lunar base before the end of the decade.

WASHINGTON, June 30 (Reuters) - NASA administrator Jared Isaacman on Tuesday said three companies — Astrobotic, Firefly Aerospace and Intuitive Machines — were awarded contracts to send more uncrewed lunar landers to the moon's surface under the agency's Artemis moonbase project.

The orbital surgery on the International Space Station returned the Canadian-built robot arm to full health after its "wrist" joint failed last month.

Building a moon base has been atop NASA’s to-do list. The agency doled out new contracts to help inform how to set up the lunar outpost. Firefly Aerospace, Intuitive Machines and Astrobotic won awards to ferry an identical set of payloads to the lunar surface by the end of 2028.

NASA just tested a fully automated refueling coupler for spacecraft, and if it works, it could fundamentally change how deep space missions work.The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox
