NASA's Mars rover has driven farther than any vehicle on another world, using autonomous navigation and self-localization that point toward more independent space exploration.

Google and SpaceX recently launched the first experimental satellite equipped with AI chips, testing whether orbital data centers could solve Earth's energy constraints. The project promises abundant solar power and reduced environmental impact, but faces significant technical hurdles including cooling, radiation, and data transmission.

Ohio State researchers built an AI assistant that studies lunar data, judges possible landing sites, and explains its reasoning to the people planning future missions.

The Lumina simulation models how dark matter, gas, and radiation shaped the first stars and galaxies, giving astronomers a new tool to interpret telescope observations.

Google will launch a prototype satellite on October 1 to test its Tensor Processing Units in space as part of Project Suncatcher. The mission will evaluate how AI chips perform under radiation, thermal extremes, and the physical stresses of spaceflight, marking the tech giant's first step toward potential orbital computing infrastructure.

Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen fly around the Moon, Glover delivers powerfully inspiring Easter message.

NASA is working with commercial partners to develop new lunar landing systems for 2028, focusing on uncrewed cargo and technology demonstrations ahead of future human missions under the Artemis program.

Google's Project Suncatcher has launched a test satellite carrying AI chips into orbit, marking a concrete step toward space-based data centers that could bypass Earth's power and land constraints.

Over more than 50 years, each new presidential administration has reassessed the place of spaceflight among its priorities, either encouraging or curtailing the return to the Moon.

The U.S. is committing to the steady, repeatable work of building a lasting foothold on the Moon, and redefining humanity’s relationship with space itself.
