Scientists will soon be using NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to study galaxies, and how the universe became the way it is. Plus, a new discovery could help NASA better understand how life could exist on other planets in extreme environments.

: SpaceX’s massive Starship vehicle went into orbit for the first time. Plus, scientists are on the search for habitable worlds.

For the first time, the U.S. military has confirmed it has deployed a space weapon in Earth’s orbit. Plus, “When We Find Them” is a new podcast series with Central Florida Public media that explores people have searched for life in our universe.

NASA and the EU’s Sentinel-6 satellites track ocean temperatures and can help predict how storms move and intensify. Plus, a team of researchers have made some recent discoveries from X-ray tails from the Chandra X-Ray observatory.

It’s been a busy summer for space with things like SpaceX's new plans in Louisiana, Blue Origin is repairing its launch pad after an explosion earlier this year, the announcement of a space academy and more.

SpaceX is looking to expand into Louisiana to build a new launch facility with multiple launch pads for its Starship spacecraft. Then, to walk on the moon, NASA needs new suits. So how do you test them?

We hear from NASA astronaut Mike Fincke who is retiring after 30 years. Plus, we’ll speak with UCF’s Dr. Manny Urquieta about the efforts to solve medical problems in space, from low-Earth orbit, the moon and Mars.

Scientists and engineers are celebrating Curiosity’s 14th landing anniversary on Mars. Plus, we’ll look at the ethics behind human space exploration and how NASA, space agencies and the public view morals and ethics when it comes to human missions to space.

From meteors streaming across the night sky to a solar eclipse, there’s a lot happening in our skies this week. Plus, a look at how the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope hopes to study cosmic mysteries like dark matter and dark energy.

A mission to save a falling spacecraft is now in need of its own rescue. Katalyst Space’s LINK satellite launched to raise the Swift observatory’s altitude, but now the spacecraft is out of control.

When NASA astronauts return to the moon, they’ll be wearing a new spacesuit from Axiom Space. Plus, SpaceX and the U.S. are facing concerns after a land swap deal in Texas brings up environmental concerns.

NASA Administrator Jared Issacman is donating $500,000 of his own money to the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping STEM college students. Plus, one public exhibit brings space down to Earth.

For the second installment of Space on Tap, a special “Are We There Yet?” live event series, we asked what scientists and their robotic coworkers are really looking for on Mars. Plus, the crew of the final shuttle mission, STS-135, reunited for the mission’s 15th anniversary.

A recent NASA audit says Boeing's Starliner is once again delayed from being certified. Plus, after acquiring the satellite company Iridium, Rocket Lab has its own constellation: 66 satellites and 14 spares.

NASA’s Quantum Lab is about the size of a mini fridge, but it allows NASA and international partners to study some of the biggest physics principles. By studying these atoms at these freezing temperatures, scientists can better understand how subatomic particles work and behave throughout the universe. Plus, human missions to the Mars could soon be a reality.

Data, it runs the world, and now one company is creating data centers in space. Plus, a rescue mission to save the falling Swift Observatory is launching later this month.

SpaceX’s launched its initial public offering. It’s a big move for SpaceX, not only to continue to develop some of its current projects like Starship, but it also brings a new wave of people hoping to invest in the company’s future. Plus, NASA lost contact with Maven, a satellite studying Mars. After efforts to contact Maven failed, the space agency officially declared the mission unrecoverable.

NASA has named the crew of the Artemis III mission that the agency is calling “one of the most highly complex missions NASA has undertaken.”

Blue Origin says it expects to fly its New Glenn rocket by the end of this year. That’s after an explosion last week destroyed a rocket and damaged the company’s launch facility at Cape Canaveral.

NPR's Geoff Brumfiel brings us up to speed on SpaceX's latest Starship test. Plus, the Roman space telescope is closer to launch. What might it find?

Some things in the universe we just can’t see through visible light, so instead, astronomers rely on radio waves and radio astronomy. Plus, from trips to the International Space Station to flybys around the moon, there’s a lot that goes into meal prepping for crews that leave the planet, including taste and dietary needs.

From 10-day moon missions like Artemis II, to months-long stays on the International Space Station, there’s a lot that goes into thinking about what foods to pack for those astronauts. Plus, the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, founded by some of the original members of Mercury Seven astronauts, awards merit-based scholarships for STEM education.

Former NASA astronaut Eileen Collins speaks on Christina Koch’s journey to becoming the first woman to fly to the moon. Plus, one professor is cooking space food with his students.

From metals to rare elements, there are a lot of materials that can come from mining objects in space.
