Swiss Space Center at EPFL just launched the "CleanSpace One" project. The aim is to design and build a satellite that will chase, grab and destroy a space debris - namely one of the first Swiss satellites, Swisscube-1 or TIsat-1.

Space shuttle Atlantis lands at Kennedy following the successful STS-132 mission to the International Space Station.

The goal of 3-D printing is to take this capability to microgravity for use on the International Space Station. In space, whatever astronauts have available on orbit is what they have to use -- but just like on Earth, parts break or get lost. When that happens, there's a wait for replacement parts, ...

The non-profit B612 Foundation aims to build, launch, and operate the first privately funded deep space mission—a space telescope in orbit around the Sun that will map the inner Solar System in search of asteroids that could impact Earth.

NASA's Space shuttle last mission lift off. Shuttle Endeavour went to space for the last time on May 16th, 2011 at 8:56 AM EDT. By Wednesday May 18th they will have reached the space station and their return back after a 16 day mission is expected by early June, 2011

Space Shuttle Atlantis is on launch pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. The orbiter made the 3-1/2 mile rollout from the Vehicle Assembly Building May 15, 2011. It's final and iconic mission is scheduled for July 2011 with four crew members aboard.

A Soyruz rocket launched NASA's Scott Kelly and two Russian cosmonauts into space for what will be a year-long mission aboard the International Space Station. It is NASA's first-of-its-kind study of identical twins to learn more about how long-term spaceflight affects the human body — by sending one

Have you ever wondered why some telescopes are launched into space while others are built on remote mountain tops? What is actually the best for astronomy? Here we provide a ringside view of the fight for the elusive photons from deep space - is it a battle of the telescope giants?

As 2015 comes to a close we look back at an exciting year of reaching new heights and revealing the unknown for the benefit of humankind.

2015 marks 50 years of successful NASA missions to Mars starting with Mariner 4 in 1965. Since then, a total of 15 robotic missions led by various NASA centers have laid the groundwork for future human missions to the Red Planet. The journey to Mars continues with additional robotic missions planned...
