On Sept. 8, 2024, a satellite named Salsa will re-enter the atmosphere and burn up safely over a hand-picked region of the South Pacific — if all goes to plan.
Scientists hope to send an autonomous satellite swarm beyond our planet's orbit someday.
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover is about to begin the next leg of its epic Red Planet journey, and its final destination is likely to be the robotic rover's most spectacular sightseeing spot yet.
Measuring wind on Mars with great sensitivity is important if we don't want accidents with vehicles, and maybe even astronauts, on the Red Planet.
Ten U.K. finalists have been announced in the Aqualunar Challenge, an effort to develop tech that can turn moon ice into drinkable water.
