A new image released by China's space agency offers the first glimpse at the Tianwen 2 spacecraft, which is en route to collect samples from one of Earth's "quasi-moons". The photo shows some ...

The New Horizons spacecraft became the first spacecraft to explore Pluto up close when it flew by the dwarf planet and its moons on July 14, 2015. In 2019, the space probe reached the Kuiper belt ...

China has launched a space probe that will travel to an asteroid near Mars to collect samples and find potential "groundbreaking" results. The Tianwen-2 probe launched Thursday from the Xichang ...

Performed by the Wiener Symphoniker (Vienna Symphony Orchestra), this definitive anthem of space and sci-fi will be transmitted towards NASA's Voyager 1 probe by ESA's 35-meter Deep Space Antenna ...

This undated photo released by the European Space Agency shows the 35 meter-diameter deep-space dish antenna, DSA-2, in Cebreros, Spain, receiving the first signals from Venus Express.

The space transmission will likely be in the X-band, which is used for most deep-space communications. Though the precision beam will intercept Voyager 1, the robotic spacecraft's 12-ft (3.7 m ...

It was race against time as NASA engineers recently raced to fix a thruster problem aboard the vintage Voyager 1 deep space probe. It's hard enough to repair a craft at the edge of the solar ...

The planets Venus (bottom) and Jupiter are seen in the sky above Matthews, N.C., in 2015. A Soviet probe launched more than 50 years ago — and never reached Venus, its intended destination ...

A Soviet spacecraft that's been stuck in low Earth orbit ever since it launched in 1972 has finally crashed back down to our planet. Kosmos 482 rocketed into space more than 50 years ago on a ...
