Gentry Lee, the certified Hall of Famer engineer from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and distinguished science fiction author, is getting his time spotlight in a new documentary on his life launching at the SXSW 2025 Film Festival in Austin this weekend.

SpaceX and NASA are set for the launch of the agency’s newest space telescope and solar research mission. A Falcon 9 will liftoff from California with the SPHEREx near-infrared observatory, with the PUNCH heliophysics mission flying as a rideshare.

NASA is preparing to launch a trio of AI-powered rovers to the Moon, marking a bold step toward autonomous space exploration. These small robotic explorers, part of the CADRE (Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration) mission,

NASA’s Perseverance crushed Martian rocks, revealing minerals linked to ancient water. This innovative “rock smooshing” method hints at Mars’ potential for past life.

NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are undergoing power-saving measures, shutting down instruments to extend their journey into interstellar space and continue sending valuable data back to Earth.

NASA engineers are turning off two instruments on Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to ensure these twin spacecraft can continue exploring interstellar space.

Mission engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory turned off Voyager 1’s cosmic ray subsystem experiment on February 25, and will shut off the low-energy charged particle instrument aboard Voyager 2 on March 24,

To help them conserve energy, mission operators at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) are shutting off one scientific instrument on Voyager 1 and another on Voyager 2. The move will buy both spacecraft a bit of extra time on their journeys through the cosmos.

Mission engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California turned off the cosmic ray subsystem experiment aboard Voyager 1 on Feb. 25 and will shut off Voyager 2's low-energy charged particle instrument on March 24.
