NASA started a blaze aboard the unmanned Orbital ATK Cygnus cargo vehicle. It’s the Spacecraft Fire Experiment. Seriously, that’s exactly what NASA is calling it.

If humans are going to get to Mars, they're going to need rockets with some serious liftoff power. NASA’s Space Launch System is the most powerful rocket in the world and engineers are going to blast it, for testing purposes, of course.

In the first episode of the new series Flight Mode, WIRED takes you into a wildly complex mission control where Delta monitors thousands of flights 24/7.

The experts at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory explain the incredibly precise, solar-powered Juno mission to the radiation-strewn planet Jupiter.

Warp speed, deflector shields, teletransportation-- what's real and what's not in Star Trek? No one better to tell us than NASA's engineers at the Jet Propulsion Lab.

It's not aliens. So everyone calm the heck down. Using the Hubble Space Telescope, NASA caught sight of water plumes bursting out from Europa’s icy surface. If any Europeans are lurking beneath the moon's surface, they just got a whole lot easier to reach.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has come up with an ingenious solution to take better photographs of ultra-bright stars; a baseball diamond-sized folding shade that blocks out a star's powerful rays.

We take a look at some of the new robotic technology being developed at JPL's Robotics Lab, including robots that use "gecko" technology to grip walls and climb 90 degree surfaces.

An exoplanet expert tells us if Proxima Centauri B could be another Earth.

We speak with the Juno mission's lead scientist to find out what lies under Jupiter's poles.

NASA can build rockets and land on the moon, but can they carve the ultimate Halloween pumpkin?

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory uses teamwork every day to accomplish incredible scientific feats.

Suit up with a NASA high altitude ER-2 pilot as he prepares for a scientific research mission flying as high as 70,000 feet in the agency's modified U-2 spy plane.

To get the best space observations possible, NASA scientists fly around the world in a highly modified 747 carrying a giant telescope.

Walk into NASA Armstrong's Sub-scale Research Lab and see the future of flight in miniature. The lab's model airplanes are used to test cutting edge aeronautical ideas like crash-avoidance and more efficient rocket launches.

It takes a lot of training to become an elite NASA research pilot. WIRED's Jack Stewart gets a crash course in flying and rolling F-18 jets for science, of course.

NASA takes retired Global Hawk military drones and sets them up to fly dangerous missions monitoring some of the most extreme storms for better weather data.

For seven decades experimental X-planes have been developed and flown in the Mojave desert. NASA is now building the future of flight like an all electric plane and a quieter supersonic jet.

Twenty years ago, the Cassini spacecraft blasted off from earth on an epic journey to find out more about Saturn. Now that journey comes to a glorious end.

Every time a new exoplanet is discovered, the announcement is accompanied by an artist’s rendering of that world. So when scientists recently discovered the seven exoplanets of Trappist-1, NASA's visual artists had their work cut out for them.

Twelve new astronaut candidates just joined the ranks of those with the right stuff. Picked from a pool of 18,000 they may be among the first to journey to Mars. Four spoke with WIRED about getting the call and what they hope to accomplish.

NASA has released gobs of archival footage to its Youtube channel for your viewing pleasure. Don't thank us, thank NASA.

Shape memory alloys could make plane wings that flap, to reduce drag, or increase stability in supersonic flight.

The Insight Lander, developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will probe deep beneath the surface of the Red Planet to measure temperatures and allow study of its seismic activity. Its name is short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport.

NASA's Scott Kelly spent a year on board the International Space Station to test the effects of space travel on his body, while his identical twin and fellow astronaut Mark Kelly remained on earth. WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez speaks with Dr. Francine Garrett-Bakelman, lead author of "The NASA Twins Study: A multidimensional analysis of a year-long human spaceflight," to hear about the groundbreaking results of their study and to find out what it means for the future of human spaceflight.

"While many on our team were at home enjoying turkey, Curiosity produced this feast for the eyes," said Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity's project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which leads the Curiosity rover mission.

NASA on Wednesday announced that scientists have discovered an Earth-size exoplanet orbiting in its star's habitable zone, the area around a star where a rocky planet could support liquid water. It added that a team of transatlantic scientists using reanalyzed data from NASA’s Kepler space telescope, made the discovery.

World's premier space agency NASA and SpaceX have decided to launch the first crewed flight of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon - a vehicle designed to take astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) on May 27. The demonstration mission will carry two NASA astronauts to ISS.

The three companies, which include firms of tech billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, will share $967 million from NASA, though specific amounts each company will receive were not immediately known.
