Johns Hopkins engineers have developed a rapid process for making heat-resistant carbon-carbon composites in just days.

After an 8-year trek to Mercury, BepiColombo will finally split into two spacecraft ready to track down the secrets of the least-explored planet in the inner solar system.

Johns Hopkins APL researchers are developing a 3D-printed phase-change heatsink that could cut thermal-management size and weight by over 50%.

Seventeen spacecraft dotted throughout the solar system followed the progress of a coronal mass ejection and discovered how its lopsidedness led a hidden cloud of charged particles to head our way.

In this roundup of space news, we talk about sugar molecules in space, a call for volunteers for a simulated Moon/Mars mission and next steps for NASA's New Horizons probe.
