Dr. Krista Smith will join fellow scientists in support of the LISA mission, an extraordinary effort to study gravitational waves in space.

A Texas A&M aerospace engineering student uses black soldier flies to grow pea plants in simulated Martian soil.

Researchers in the Department of Aerospace Engineering have partnered with NASA Langley Research Center to design reflectors that redirect solar power to the moon’s craters.

Texas A&M is one of six universities collaborating with NASA to teach dog-like robots to navigate on challenging surfaces to better prepare for planetary exploration.

The agreement allows the A&M System to support training, aeronautics research, advanced robotics and work on lunar and Martian exploration toward the development of a commercial space economy.

The nature of cosmic dust has long been a mystery, but astronomers have identified the source of a lot of dust previously unaccounted for.

By adding fungi and worm manure to simulated moondust, researchers managed to grow a small crop of the protein-rich legumes, offering hope for future lunar farming efforts.

Students and researchers will help the United States Space Force’s Space Strategic Technology Institute with critical research worth nearly $50 million.

A new statue depicts the heroic astronaut during his days as a pilot at the Bryan Air Force Base.

The striking image represents one of the most comprehensive views of the universe ever taken and reveals a vivid landscape of galaxies along with more than a dozen newfound, time-varying objects.
