If we want to colonize space, we need to figure out the whole reproduction thing.
Astronauts get aches, pains, and allergies just like those of us back on Earth, but they may be out of luck if the pills go bad before they return home from the Red Planet.
The space agency was running through simulations for a spacewalk, which was later postponed.
During a recent solar storm, NASA's Curiosity rover detected its highest-ever level of radiation reaching the surface of Mars.
It’s not clear how the space bacteria may affect the health of astronauts on the ISS—or humans back down on Earth.
New research suggests that leafy greens grown on the ISS could be more prone to bacterial infections in space, exposing the crew to potential health risks.
Boeing developed an antimicrobial surface coating to help prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria on the space station.
In a new experiment, a scientist attempted to build trust between humans and machine to help with spatial disorientation on the Moon or Mars.
A Vive Focus 3 headset, modified to treat homesickness in space, is set to launch to the ISS aboard SpaceX's CRS-29 mission on November 7.
New research shows that the treatment promoted bone growth in mice living at the International Space Station and back on Earth with no apparent adverse effects.
The experiment will help scientists determine the effects of microgravity on boiling and condensation.
The unprecedented detection, made possible by a fleet of spacecraft, could inform future mitigation techniques to protect astronauts from radiation sickness.
Astronauts need at least three years between missions for their brains to recover from the effects of microgravity, according to a new study.
The research will hopefully help scientists find better ways to prevent muscle loss in astronauts.
The space agency is running a competition for innovative food technologies that astronauts can pack with them on long duration missions.
Scientists will use the U.S. Navy's Kraken to simulate spaceflight, and perhaps even find a solution for motion sickness.
The bill could extend liability protections for companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin should a crew member suffer an injury or die.
A team of scientists is arguing that space sex could happen within the next decade and that the space tourism industry needs to be ready for it.
Called LOOP, the Airbus design calls for a greenhouse, a gym, and a centrifuge to simulate gravity.
The "pancosmorio theory" says that for humans to survive in space, missions must duplicate ecological conditions found back home, including Earth's gravity.
