A multidisciplinary team of undergraduate students from three different universities has designed and built a mini satellite, known as a CubeSat, that will launch into space to gather data in collaboration with NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission.

ESCAPADE is overseen by the University of California Berkeley, who named the spacecraft’s onboard satellites Blue and Gold after the school’s colors. In addition to its primary objectives, the spacecraft will be the first to reach Mars using a new trajectory path.

A moderate solar flare might affect radio communications on Earth, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Wednesday.

NASA is sending a trio of satellites towards the sun to track space weather. Solar storms can have big impacts on daily life here on earth, so the satellites will help forecasters with better predictions. Liftoff is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday ...

HAVE COME FROM A QUARRY THAT WAS BLASTING DOWN THE ROAD. WE’RE KEEPING TABS ON A MAJOR SPACE LAUNCH AS UNH PLAYS A BIG ROLE IN UNDERSTANDING SPACE WEATHER’S IMPACT ON EARTH. DOZENS OF UNH ENGINEERS, RESEARCHERS AND STUDENTS BUILT INSTRUMENTS ON BOARD A ...

Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket will launch the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) mission.

NASA's first multiple-satellite mission to another planet will map Mars' magnetic field and atmosphere in 3D, laying the groundwork for human exploration.

The Sun looks like a warm yellow sphere with a surface covered with glowing messy hair. The yellow glow extends to the edges of the image, with some regions brighter than others. Many bright yellow arcs stick out from a wide band around the Sun’s equator.

After decades of relying on aging satellites, NOAA is launching a purpose-built eye on the sun. On Sept. 23, a spacecraft will launch with a clear mission — to keep a constant watch on the sun to help protect Earth from space weather. The satellite ...

No communication or navigation, faulty electronics and collision risk. At ESA's mission control in Darmstadt, teams faced a scenario unlike any before: a solar storm of extreme magnitude. Fortunately,
