Space agency selects 37 companies as partners to develop technologies that will support moon bases and Mars exploration.

The announcement is the latest in a stream of funding contracts NASA has awarded private companies in its effort to establish a permanent presence on the moon.

Future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond may no longer need to carry every drop of propellant from Earth. NASA has successfully tested an advanced cryocoupler, a specialized connection system designed to transfer ultra-cold rocket propellants between spacecraft in orbit.

NASA on Tuesday plans to launch a mission to save its Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. A spacecraft is expected to push the telescope into a stable orbit so it doesn’t fall into the atmosphere.

For NASA's next generation of deep-space exploration missions, spacecraft may need to refuel in Earth orbit before pushing farther into the solar system. Similar to how a gas pump needs a nozzle to fit your fuel tank,

As part of plans to establish a lunar base, the space agency may send to the moon a spare test version of the rover — as well as a soccer ball.

NASA is preparing a robotic rescue mission to boost the falling Swift telescope, test satellite servicing, and avoid a costly observatory replacement.

By Joey Roulette and Steve Gorman WASHINGTON, July 2 (Reuters) - Weather and technical snags have forced NASA and its partner space company Katalyst to indefinitely postpone a first-of-its-kind mission to tow an aging U.

A one-of-a-kind NASA space telescope is about to fall out of the sky. For more than two decades, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory telescope has gazed at the fading afterglows of
