While most spacecraft are designed and built from scratch for one particular mission, the Phoenix Lander was pieced together from previous missions and rose from the ashes...all the way to Mars.

Nagin Cox is a first-generation Martian. As a spacecraft engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Cox works on the team that manages the united States' rovers on Mars. But working a 9-to-5 on another planet -- whose day is 40...

2022 is looking like a great year for space exploration! Let's dig into three of the missions that we're really excited to watch unfold!

In the 1970's, no vehicle had gone beyond the asteroids between Mars and Jupiter, that is until Pioneer 10.

Hank Green brings in 2016 with some space missions to look forward to!

Space missions are difficult. Reid describes three epic space mission fails!

Robots! They're everywhere. We use them for all kinds of things that we can't, or don't want to do. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shares a problem with us that can probably be solved by building an awesome robot. So let's...

After more than two decades buzzing around above our heads, the life of the ISS will soon be coming to a close. But what does that actually look like? And what does it mean for the future of space experimentation?

NASA just announced the five finalists for the next Discovery missions. It looks like we’ll be sending probes to Venus, studying asteroids, or both!

For astronauts, dust is no joke. On the moon and Mars, dust isn't at all like the stuff under your bed. It can be poisonous, corrosive, even made of razor-sharp glass. So future astronauts are going to need more than a dust buster to get...

The Indian Space Research Organisation, or ISRO, is on its way to becoming a leader in space exploration - and they're just getting started.

Hank updates us on two new missions that will help us learn more about some of the fascinating things in our space neighborhood.

To expand their range on visits to the moon, astronauts needed a way to travel faster, go farther, and carry more than walking provided. Thankfully, they had the Lunar Roving Vehicle.

When scientists are planning missions, they sometimes have to take into account the fact that the light from the Sun pushes on the spacecraft. But with solar sails, they can also use that pressure to propel the craft along.

Since New Horizons flew by Pluto on July 14, 2015, it's completely redefined what we know about the dwarf planet and its largest moon Charon. New Horizons' mission will continue to be full of surprises, but here's what we've learned so far

Like the Industrial or the Einsteinian Revolution, the Space Race is a trope, or way of organizing historical events into a story that makes sense. In this story, the two great powers that emerged after World War Two—the United States...

Turns out, going to Mars in the 80s could have been a thing.
