NASA's MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) probe, launched in 2013, is currently facing significant challenges that have raised concerns about its operational status. Recent telemetry data ...

WASHINGTON — New analysis suggests that problems with NASA’s MAVEN Mars orbiter may be more serious than a simple communications glitch. NASA said Dec. 9 that it lost contact with the spacecraft three ...

During its initial molten phase, the Moon experienced tidal bulges on its near and far sides due to Earth's immense gravitational pull. The Moon's rotation initially carried these gravitationally ...

A research team has investigated long-term X-ray variability in the neutron star NGC 7793 P13, an object thought to be driven by supercritical accretion, where an extraordinary amount of gas falls ...

NASA has lost contact with its MAVEN spacecraft, which has been orbiting Mars for over a decade. The loss of signal occurred on Dec. 6 as the orbiter passed behind Mars from Earth's perspective. MAVEN ...

NASA has lost contact with one of its three spacecraft orbiting Mars, the agency announced Tuesday. Meanwhile, a second Mars orbiter is perilously close to running out of fuel, and the third mission ...
