Eight space missions that are either on the surface of an alien world, travelling deep into the solar system or exploring asteroids have got new extensions to do more science.

As you’re reading this, a spacecraft with a complicated name is hurtling through space on its way back home, bringing with it a piece of an asteroi...

Mars, the moon and asteroids will get a deeper look from these spacecraft with eight NASA mission extensions.

Once the primary mission of NASA's OSIRIS-REx is complete, the spacecraft will head toward a new destination: near-Earth asteroid Apophis.

The first spacecraft that NASA sent to collect sample from an asteroid has now arrived at its destination, asteroid Bennu.

Over the past year, researchers mourned the loss of Arecibo and applauded the first helicopter flight on Mars. Plus, commercial spaceflight really took off.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft was awarded the John L. "Jack" Swigert, Jr. Award for Space Exploration by the Space Foundation. The REXIS instrument onboard was developed by MIT and Harvard students to study the asteroid Bennu’s chemical composition.

An asteroid impact has the potential to cause worldwide cataclysms and extinction-level events, but they could be mined as an alternative to heavily polluting mining on Earth.
