The final pair of IROSAs will augment the solar power available for life support and scientific research activities aboard ...

On April 23, NASA launched a solar sail protype to orbit around our planet — a piece of technology that could very well revolutionize the way we think about spacecraft propulsion. Then, on Aug. 29, ...

Parker Solar Probe is operating normally after passing just 6.1 million kilometres above the Sun’s surface, NASA says. A 2018 artist's concept shows the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft flying into the ...

An experimental NASA solar sail can be seen in the night sky as it orbits the Earth. NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3) launched in April 2024 atop a Rocket Lab Electron rocket. The ...

A warning has been issued by NASA about an X-class solar flare that erupted from the Sun, resulting in potential radio blackouts. The flare is considered one of the most powerful in recent months and ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has directly observed magnetic reconnection in the Sun’s atmosphere for the first time, confirming decades-old theories about solar explosions. This discovery bridges ...

A groundbreaking mission by NASA's Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has successfully ventured through solar wind for the first time aiming to prevent people on earth being unable to get on the internet.

On June 25, Tuesday, a small fleet of scientific instruments known as the Extreme Ultraviolet and X-ray Irradiance Sensors (EXIS) will be launched into 22,000 miles in space. Developed by researchers ...

Four months after it blasted off into space, Nasa's solar spacecraft has spread its sails - and now you can spot it from Earth! The Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (or ACS3 for short) is a ...

In the past week (in November 2023), the sun increased its activity, with a rise in sunspots and the launch of several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) daily. It was reported by NASA that Earth is ...

A different kind of solar eclipse took place on X Monday courtesy of NASA’s sun and moon social media accounts. Monday marked a rare and highly-anticipated solar eclipse that took place across North ...

Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy. Flares and solar eruptions can impact high-frequency (HF) radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and pose risks to spacecraft and ...
