NASA just launched three smallsats to advance space science and orbital technology
Three NASA-supported small spacecraft launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 on October 1, carrying experiments that could reshape spacecraft propulsion, ultraviolet astronomy, and the way satellites are inspected in orbit,
The first in a new class of space telescopes is on track to reach the launch pad in the early 2030s, NASA announced this week. The PRIMA mission will be the first of NASA’s Probe Explorers, a new line of observatories intended to do more science for less money.
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission is scheduled to launch four astronauts to the International Space Station on October 1. The Dragon could reach the orbiting laboratory in just 7 hours and 50 minutes, making it the fastest U.

NASA’s new space telescope sends back its first images, and the stars look like blurry green rings
NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is on its way to Lagrange point L2, and it has already sent back its first pictures. They show star clusters as blurry green rings, taken before its camera is fully calibrated.
On the heels of launching its Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, NASA announced a new observatory, the Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics or PRIMA. The agency said Wednesday PRIMA was moving into what’s referred to as Phase B development.
NASA is funding 24 projects with $23 million, enabling citizen scientists to engage in research activities like comet hunting and space weather studies across the US.
NASA’s groundbreaking science missions, vital to exploring the cosmos and expanding humanity’s understanding of our place in the universe, are facing unprecedented threats. The White House has proposed deep cuts to NASA’s budget in fiscal year 2026 ...
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope has demonstrated remarkable pointing stability and given its powerful planet-imaging coronagraph its first look at the cosmos. The telescope can already stay locked on a target with precision comparable to aiming a laser at a dime from about 150 miles away.
If all goes well, NASA’s latest “flagship” observatory will be sending back unprecedented cosmic panoramas and revolutionary images of exoplanets by the end of the year. Like its predecessor, the
The 2026 NASA budget proposal would slash around US$6 billion (£4.4 billion) in funding. This is a huge reduction, amounting to around 25% of recent NASA budgets. The savings would mainly come from NASA science programs, potentially devastating high ...
