Makenzie Lystrup’s departure from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center comes soon after the resignation of the director of JPL.

TRACERS will launch for a low-Earth orbit of 367 miles (590 kilometers) on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket alongside three additional NASA missions. These include the Athena EPIC (Economical Payload Integration Cost) SmallSat, which will demonstrate a new way of more efficiently placing remote-sensing (or rather, Earth-observing) instruments into orbit.

A declaration of dissent from past and present NASA employees warns that science and safety are at risk and joins similar documents from staff at other federal science agencies

Current and former NASA employees have co-signed a declaration protesting changes at the agency that some say pose a grave risk to astronauts.

The signatories warn that political interference and abrupt budget reductions could jeopardize decades of progress in space exploration, aeronautics and climate science.

It remains an open question as to whether NASA and the U.S. space program will survive the Republican president’s second term.

The director of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center announced her resignation Monday, marking yet another high-profile departure as questions loom about the agency’s budget and future

But 2025 OW isn't the only asteroid approaching us in the coming days. NASA is also tracking another airplane-sized space rock known as 2025 OX, which is estimated to be about 110 feet across, and will fly past the Earth on July 26 at a distance of 2,810,000 miles.

The same charged particles from the Sun’s atmosphere responsible for the northern lights can also damage Earth’s electrical and communications systems.

NASA's Athena Economical Payload Integration Cost mission, or Athena EPIC, is a test launch for an innovative, scalable space vehicle design to support future missions. The small satellite platform is engineered to share resources among the payloads onboard by managing routine functions so the individual payloads don't have to.

NASA announced a successful test of its X-59 aircraft at U.S. Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, Calif., that could lead to supersonic commercial flights.
