Galaxy Aerospace Ghana paid a stunning visit to the Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory (GRAO) to gain an understanding of the company’s Astronomical contribution to the country and the world at large. Apart from South Africa, the Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory (GRAO) is the first of its sort in Sub-Saharan Africa. The facility includes a 32-meter […]

On pace with its once-a-month flight goal, Virgin Galactic is about to embark on its fifth commercial mission, and likely its final flight of 2023. Galactic 05 is scheduled to lift off this Thursday (Nov. 2) and will carry three passengers on a brief trip to suborbital space. The trio will fly aboard Virgin Galactic’s

The three astronauts of China’s Shenzhou 16 mission returned to Earth on Monday (Oct. 30) after completing a five-month stint aboard the country’s space station. Astronauts Jing Haipeng (the mission’s commander), Zhu Yangzhu and Gui Haichao touched down in their Shenzhou 16 spacecraft return capsule at the Dongfeng landing site Monday around 8:10 p.m. EDT

Yesterday, a team of CNES, ESA, Arianespace and ArianeGroup personnel at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, completed a full-scale wet rehearsal of the new Ariane 6 rocket that was fuelled and then drained of its fuel.

A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base on Sunday at 5 a.m. EDT (0900 GMT; 2 a.m. local California time). The Falcon 9’s first stage came

Scientists have created an artificial intelligence (AI) program that can detect alien life in physical samples — though they aren’t sure exactly how it works. The new machine-learning algorithm — trained using living cells, fossils, meteorites and lab-made chemicals — can distinguish between samples of biological and nonbiological origin 90% of the time, according to

Early next month, SpaceX will send a clutch of science experiments to the space station investigating a range of topics, from high-speed laser communications to rolling atmospheric waves on Earth. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, carrying the uncrewed Dragon spacecraft, is scheduled to launch toward the International Space Station (ISS) no earlier than Nov. 5,

The Full Hunter’s Moon of October will see the Earth’s shadow pass across its face this weekend, creating a partial lunar eclipse.

Testing is now underway on NASA’s Dragonfly rotorcraft, a nuclear-powered, car-sized aerial drone that will look for potential precursors to life on Saturn’s moon, Titan. But before Dragonfly can take to the sky, NASA has to make sure it can withstand the moon’s unique environment. Dragonfly’s main goal is to study the complex chemistry on
