Russian cosmonauts will undertake a spacewalk leaving the International Space Station on Wednesday to move a cargo boom from one airlock to another, install a prototype laser communications system and deploy Ham Radio's amateur micro-satellite.

Space Exploration Technologies, or simply SpaceX, and other private sector companies are vying to fill the void for transport to space after the U.S. government put the breaks on its own shuttle program.

One of the biggest questions that scientists usually face is why the sun's corona is so hot. Well, thanks to a new research, it seems that scientists are now one step closer to unearth the mystery.

Danger looms at the International Space Station (ISS) as Space Junk, mainly parts of old rockets and satellites, either abandoned or destroyed in orbit, is increasingly posing threats to the internationally-developed research facility.

Science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke said, "The space elevator will be built about 50 years after everyone stops laughing." Now that laughing has come to a halt, people can count on the years before Space Elevator becomes a reality.

Privately owned Space Exploration Technologies, or Space X, is planning to fill the void left by the retiring U.S. space shuttle program with its own space taxi as it ramps up for a test later this year.

Global warming predictions have followed UN models and trends in describing how Earth traps heat due to carbon dioxide. The increased gases and rising temperatures would create large amounts of water vapors to develop into clouds. Those clouds would trap larger amounts of heat and devastate the planet's ecosystem leading to the end of mankind.

Russian Space Agency Roscosmos went back on its words on Thursday after an uproar over a statement by agency?s deputy head, who said on Wednesday that Russia and its partners plan to sink the International Space Station in the ocean.

Juno was carefully designed to meet the tough challenges of flying a mission to Jupiter: weak sunlight, extreme temperatures and deadly radiation.

One scientist is disputing the United Nations' numbers on global warming, arguing the numbers aren't as bad as people are saying.

The Russian Federal space agency has retracted a decision to sink the International Space Station (ISS) in the Pacific Ocean, after an international uproar over the plan.

The former NASA astronaut will be discharged with "other than honorable" status.

Asteroid 2010 TK7 was discovered by NEOWISE, the asteroid-hunting section of NASA's WISE mission. It was confirmed as the first Earth Trojan after follow up observations with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

Global warming proponents can catch up on the sleep they lost worrying about the planet getting hotter with each passing day. A NASA study which analyzes satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011, published in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing, reports that Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than global warming proponents' computer models have predicted.

The Russian space agency's deputy head Vitaly Davydov?s comments forced Russia?s space agency to back off from an international outcry on Thursday.

Melting ice sheets of Greenland have been a cause of concern for researchers and climate change proponents, as previous studies on the ice sheet behaviors projected Greenland's ice less stable when compared to Antarctica's ice. But a recent study by scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, suggests that we may have got it all wrong.

Two Arizona State University research teams have partnered with NASA's Johnson Space Center to strengthen the realms of space microbiology.

NASA scientists believe that they might have found a lost 1967 Lunar Orbiter 2 spacecraft that took "the picture of the century" before crashing on the moon.

Now that NASA is done with its Space Shuttle Program, the $100 billion International Space Station it worked so hard to build will stay afloat in space until at least 2020, according to comments by Russia's space agency.
