Researchers from NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) recently tested a scale model of the X-59 ...

Supersonic tunnel trials suggest the X-59’s shape can scatter shock waves, paving the way for hush-hush high-speed flight.

The X-59 is the centerpiece of NASA’s Quesst mission, an effort to prove that quiet supersonic flight is technically and socially viable. Once airborne, the jet will make a series of community ...

Here's how the astronauts of NASA's upcoming Crew-11 mission were impacted by the the ill-fated Starliner flight test last year.

The International Space Station (ISS) is a cutting-edge, habitable satellite orbiting Earth, serving as a global research lab ...

Japan has pulled off one of the hardest tricks in space exploration: a soft landing on the moon. Its "Moon Sniper" mission settled onto the moon's surface Friday morning. But JAXA, the Japanese ...

Yoshiyuki Tomino, the man who created the famous Gundam anime, doesn’t believe humans will ever be able to live in space.

JAXA officials switched the probe to battery mode to capture images taken during the flight to the moon until that battery ran out of juice. As Sakai was overseeing the data transfer, he stayed ...

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency launched an X-ray satellite to study extreme cosmic objects and a lunar lander nicknamed the “Moon Sniper” on Wednesday evening.

The developers plan to hand the satellite, made from magnolia wood and named LignoSat, to space agency JAXA next week. It will be sent into space on a SpaceX rocket from the Kennedy Space Center ...

If JAXA does unjam its door, Chandra will be an important tool to follow up XRISM's observations. Meanwhile, the ghosts of Suzaku and Hitomi will linger until the next attempt at opening the door.
