NASA is quietly ending financial support for independent planetary science advisory groups, according to a letter posted to the agency’s website on January 16.

NASA has cut funding for key independent advisory groups that help guide the agency’s scientific research, citing cost savings.

NASA’s upcoming Artemis II mission, as detailed in the official statement published by NASA, will carry not only astronauts but also a priceless collection of artifacts that symbolize more than a century of human flight and innovation.

NASA has selected three new lunar science investigations to be delivered to the Moon under the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services, or CLPS, initiative and Artemis campaign. The research payloads will be delivered to the lunar surface by U.S. commercial partners no earlier than 2028, NASA said Tuesday.

I n 2016, NASA launched the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) probe, which famously touched down on asteroid Bennu in 2020, before returning that sample back to Earth for analysis.

These are missions only NASA can lead. Everything else should go to partners who can deliver faster and cheaper.

Did we avert the crisis? Getting funding again is nice, but a lot of damage has already been done.

The James Webb telescope's search for habitable exoplanets is getting a big boost from its new star-watching companion, Pandora.

Last year President Trump pitched a severe chop to NASA’s proposed annual budget for 2026, but the House and Senate on Monday released an appropriations bill that would mostly ignore those cuts. The minibus bill put forth by both congressional bodies’ appropriation committees includes NASA as well as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Science Foundation,

It was quite a leap. Conspiracy theorists are being brought back down to Earth after NASA scientists debunked a wild claim that the space agency was hiding knowledge about an event that could result in millions of deaths and injuries.

In a rebuff of the Trump administration’s proposal to drastically cut funding for federal science agencies, the Senate voted on Thursday to provide billions more to NOAA, NASA and the National Science Foundation than the president had asked for.

Alicja Ostrowska's doctoral thesis "Life and AI at NASA" examines how artificial intelligence is transforming the way science is conducted within some of the world's most ambitious space projects. The study investigates how AI is used in NASA's missions exploring the conditions for present or past life on other planets and moons and what this means for how knowledge is produced.
