"This discovery offers the opportunity of assessing reef biodiversity, at global scale, from orbit."

A new scientific technique could significantly improve the reference frames that millions of people rely upon each day when using GPS.

A student-built satellite designed as a low-cost way to reduce space junk re-entered Earth's atmosphere years earlier than expected.

Students got a once-in-a-lifetime chance to design and build their own satellite to be launched into space. They call it SBUDNIC.

Satellite and radar data may offer a better way to predict when and where thunderstorms will occur, according to a new study.

Satellite data can reveal large individual fossils from the air, allowing researchers to embark on more targeted searches on the ground.

Space is an important environment to preserve on behalf of professional astronomers, amateur stargazers, and Indigenous peoples, researchers argue.

Creating satellites that could travel flat and transform themselves into a dish shape would make space exploration easier, say researchers.

5G wireless networks will improve phone service and make communications a whole lot faster. But 5G could also screw up weather forecasts, researchers say.

When an American pilot went down over the Soviet Union in the 1960s, the US launched a spy satellite. Its data now helps monitor the bobak marmot.
