Scientists have found that the subsurface ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus is habitable. Laboratory tests proved the survival of microorganisms in its conditions.

NASA published a report on Earth's orbit status for August 2026: tracked artificial objects reached 34,054, with the US, Russia, and China leading.

Roscosmos cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov will take command of the ISS on October 4, 2026, from NASA astronaut Jessica Meir ahead of the Crew-12 return.

Canada Rocket Company is investing $30 million to build Canada's first major rocket engine fire-testing facility in the province of Ontario.

Elon Musk has proposed using the Starship system to deploy giant space telescopes and build scientific observatories on the Moon.

NASA is actively testing the Valkyrie humanoid robot and semi-autonomous control systems to support astronauts on future lunar and Martian bases.

SpaceX published footage of the historic 14th Starship launch, during which the spacecraft reached orbit for the first time and deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites.

The Starship spacecraft exploded after splashing down in the Pacific Ocean, but SpaceX considers it routine. The vehicle reached orbit for the first time and deployed 26 satellites.

Scientists have found that Enceladus naturally concentrates organics and salts in its plumes, and terrestrial archaea survived simulated conditions of Saturn's moon.

China's secret spaceplane Shenlong has once again demonstrated its capability to deploy, capture, and recover satellites in orbit.

The International Space Station has been shortlisted for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize by PRIO, highlighting global scientific cooperation.

Scientists from the University of Mississippi and Texas A&M developed a copper catalyst that enables the synthesis of rocket fuel from the carbon dioxide in Mars's atmosphere, eliminating the problem of the weight of return-trip fuel.

Scientists have proposed building Martian bases from bioengineered yeast and gelatin. The sublimation method in the Martian atmosphere creates a lightweight material with a strength of up to 12 MPa, saving up to 100 times more energy.

NASA is forced to switch off the particle detectors on the New Horizons probe due to a $2 million funding freeze by the heliophysics division. The spacecraft risks entering interstellar space without its key scientific instruments.

Researchers have created the MarsCast system based on the GraphCast neural network, capable of forecasting weather on Mars with record-breaking accuracy. The technology will allow for the planning of manned missions and the prediction of dust storms.

🪐 Did NASA find a "jellyfish" on Mars? An archival Curiosity photo blew up the internet! 📸 A strange three-legged object is visible in the 2023 photo. 🤔 🔍 Theories: From UFOs to rocks. 🧪 Scientists: "Need to check in person". 🚀 The mission continues!

🚀 Mike Gold, former NASA officer, revealed details of UAP archive declassification. The focus is on the mysterious 'three lights' in the 'Apollo 17' photo and society's readiness for contact with aliens. 🌕👽 Gold calls for scientific balance: do not panic, but do not deny the obvious. The Pentagon and NASA continue to publish data, including anomalies recorded in 2024. 🛰️📡 #UAP #NASA #Apollo17 #Aliens #SpaceNews #XABinfo

🚀 Breakthrough in astronaut protection: The AstroRad vest has been introduced, reducing radiation by 60% during solar storms. The 16 kg device allows the crew to work in open space without hiding in shelters. 🌑
