Whether up in the International Space Station (ISS) or onboard a ship or submarine, food for the crew is a prime concern. While the ISS gets food delivered once every three months, ships or submarines can stock up at the end of each mission. But it is ideal to grow some food in the ISS and on the much-anticipated manned missions to Mars in the future, as a

According to NASA, the experiment will allow them to identify the optimum balance of care and feeding needed to produce quality plants.

NASA plans to explore the magnetic barriers around the Solar System, and it will use a SpaceX Falcon 9 to do it.

It was a rare polar launch from Florida, the first since 1969.

Storage is just as important aboard the International Space Station as it is on Earth. While the space station is about the size of a football field, the living space inside is much smaller than that. Just as you wouldn't store garden tools in a house when you could store them in a shed outside, astronauts now have a "housing unit" in which they can store tools for use on the exterior of the space station.

The upgraded Dragon spacecraft successfully separated from the Falcon 9 rocket's second stage, as the spacecraft continued its journey to the ISS to deliver critical supplies, equipment, and material to support multiple science and research and experiments that will take place aboard the space station.

Originally scheduled for the evening of September 29,  a very wet weather forecast has forced NASA to reschedule their planned rocket launch from the Virginia-based NASA Wallops Flight Facility. When the rocket does launch, people as far away as Maine and Georgia may be able to view the rocket launching from the Virginia coast spaceport. […]
