We recently put up a front-page feature for the upcoming May 15 Psyche spacecraft flyby of Mars, in which the mission will use the gravity of Mars to slingshot herself out to the asteroid Psyche.  (As always in Eyes, you can fast-forward all the way to the spacecraft’s encounter with the asteroid in 2029, if […]

SpaceX CRS-34, the next mission to resupply the International Space Station, is now targeting its launch for no earlier than 6:05 p.m. EDT on Friday, May 15. Meanwhile, the seven-member crew aboard the orbital outpost stayed focused on microgravity research and lab maintenance throughout Thursday.

Although NASA’s X-59 is designed to fly supersonic, its test flight schedule is about more than just going gradually faster and higher – sometimes, to make sure the aircraft is fully mission-ready, slower and lower is the way to go. The X-59 has completed initial test flights at high altitudes and near-supersonic speeds, opening the […]

When NASA scientists first observed a particular radio burst from the Sun in August 2025, there was nothing unusual about it. But then the radio burst kept going. Typically, solar radio bursts like these last a few hours to days. But this one was different. By the time it was over, the radio burst had […]

NASA and SpaceX now are targeting no earlier than 6:05 p.m. EDT Friday, May 15, for the company’s 34th commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station.
