The space agency awarded a $125,000 grant to its Contractor Anjan to develop 3D printing food for astronauts. While the space agency’s main concern is efficient food storage for long-haul space flights, Anjan hopes this technology could help people in the most remote areas of our planet to get access to the variety and volume of food they need.

A meteoroid slammed into the moon’s surface making it the biggest jolt ever to be viewed by the naked eye from Earth.

NASA experts have said their Kepler telescope, famous for having located a significant number of planets while on mission of finding the so-called Super-Earth, have broken down and for the moment cannot be fixed. The breakdown could mean the end of the planet-hunting mission of the telescope.

American astronauts Christopher Cassidy and Thomas Mashburn, working in open space, have not been able to find the source of an ammonia leak on the International Space Station. On the recommendation of the US Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas, they replaced the pump which controls the flow of ammonia in the cooling system.

Two American crewmembers of the International Space Station, Christopher Cassidy and Thomas Marshburn, have started a spacewalk to fix an outboard ammonia leak from the cooling circuit of the station’s solar panels.

Astronauts in the US section of the ISS were preparing for a possible spacewalk to inspect and fix an ammonia leak in a cooling loop, NASA said Friday, hours after the leak was detected.

The NASA astronauts Tom Marshburn and Chris Cassidy are due to stage an unscheduled walkout into outer space from the International Space Station, to detect ammonia leaks on the outside of the ISS.

Astronauts might have to step outside the International Space Station at the weekend to repair a leaking cooling system on the Earth-orbiting spacecraft, Russia's Interfax news agency reported Friday.

NASA astronauts Thomas Marshburn and Christopher Cassidy are expected to conduct an unplanned spacewalk from the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday in order to establish the ammonia leak area, a Russian space rocket industry source told Interfax-AVN.

NASA has signed a contract with the Russian Space Agency (Roskosmos) for $ 424 million, to deliver six U.S. astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) during the second half of 2016 and their return to Earth in early 2017, according to a statement published on the website of the U.S. space agency.

NASA scientists provided details this week of how they dodged a 1.5-ton bullet in space last year when they had to fire the thruster engines on the Fermi Gamma-ray Telescope to nudge it out of the way and narrowly avoid a collision with a 26-year-old defunct Soviet-era satellite.

NASA will be sending the newest scientific rover to explore Greenland. This is stated in the statement of the U.S. space agency. The rover named Grover is set for testing May 3 through June 8 in the highest part of Greenland. The name stands for both Greenland Rover and Goddard Remotely Operated Vehicle for Exploration and Research.

The Russian Space Agency and NASA have extended their agreement for Russian Soyuz capsules to ferry crewmembers to and from the International Space Station.

The US space agency NASA has extended its contract with Roscosmos for delivering astronauts to the International Space Station on board of Russian Soyuz spaceships until the middle of 2017.

The NASA Hubble Space Telescope has sent astronomers the first pictures of ISON, a comet hurtling toward the sun.

A new space study has found that catastrophic collisions at the orbits currently used to observe the Earth are getting more likely, with researchers warning of space crashes every five to nine years.

NASA astronomers have announced that the Kepler orbit telescope has discovered three planets in the Lyra and Cygnus constellations. The planets have been dubbed Kepler-69c, Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f. The two latter planets have oceans that can sustain life. They are located in the lower part of the so-called “habitable zone” and orbit Kepler-62. They are by far the most hospitable super-Earth size planets that have been found to date.

NASA’s recent survey has discovered three planets, which are very similar to Earth. Two of the three planets are being called “super-Earth” found by the Kepler planet-hunting satellite. According to the journal Science these two planets might be covered in oceans and hence have life.

Scientists announced Thursday the discovery of three planets that could be habitable worlds outside our own solar system.

Could global warming be one big misconception? The research group The Right Climate Stuff (TCRS) made up of ex-NASA employees believe so. In their report they point out that NASA makes it seem like global warming is solely a human causation and because of that we must reduce our carbon footprint. However, the scientists and engineers who used to work for the acclaimed space station believe other factors are at play and are not being highlighted.
