An X1.4 solar flare triggered radio blackouts and launched a fast CME as NASA prepares for its Artemis 2 moon mission.

With NASA preparing for the Artemis II launch (expected tomorrow, 1 April), a strong solar flare earlier this week is putting space weather back into focus—and highlighting the unpredictable risks astronauts could face beyond Earth's atmosphere.

A strong solar flare emitted from the sun just days before the Artemis II launch, but NASA said they aren't concerned about it.

Four giant solar ‘wings’ will provide power for the first crewed mission to the Moon in over 50 years, due to launch later today.

As NASA’s Artemis II mission prepares for liftoff, most of the conversation in D.C. and around the nation has rightly centered on the excitement of the first cr

In 1941, two astronauts began the seemingly impossible feat of training a robot to operate a solar energy station in space, one capable of beaming power across the Solar System. Of course, this was purely fiction – the dystopian plot of sci-fi writer ...

A King’s College London study found that space-based solar power could cut Europe’s land-based renewable needs by 80% by 2050. Japan and the U.S. are testing early prototypes that beam solar energy from orbit to Earth using microwave technology.

Space weather forecasters issued an alert on Tuesday for incoming severe solar storms that could produce colorful northern lights and temporarily disrupt communications. In the past few days, the sun has burped out several bursts of energy called coronal ...

Orbital data centers and space-based solar power are outpacing the legal frameworks built for an era of exploration, not commercialization.
