MIT Lincoln Laboratory launched a nanosatellite that will test new autonomous capabilities in space. It will also test an imaging capability for disaster response efforts and an optics capability for communications as well as tracking objects, such as space debris.

NASA's Perseverance MOXIE has been generating oxygen from Mars similar to the output of one tree, according to MIT scientists.

MIT researchers have devised the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE), which has been generating an oxygen supply and could help answer some of the questions about how to make the most of an atmosphere abundant in carbon dioxide.

Being in an environment such as the simulated Martian landscape of the Haughton-Mars Project in the Arctic magnifies what would normally be small problems.

The Month on Mars expedition begins its fieldwork listening to some of the earliest radio frequency signals in the universe.

The Month on Mars expedition traveled to the Haughton-Mars Project base for its summer field season at a simulated Martian outpost.

A distributed sensor network may help researchers identify the physical processes contributing to diminishing sea ice in the planet’s fastest-warming region.

The Event Horizon Telescope is ready to take its next steps by capturing movies of gas flowing turbulently onto a black hole.

Astronomers from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration have today revealed the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, produced using a network of radio telescopes around the world.

Two finalist proposals for the MIT Climate Grand Challenges use a drone to monitor glaciers and ice sheets over long periods to build better models of sea-level rise to help with climate preparation and mitigation.
