Space mission

After six months as commander of the International Space Station, the Italian space explorer has his feet back on solid ground.

The Solar Orbiter, a joint mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA, has launched. The mission aims to give close-up views of the Sun's polar regions and observe its magnetic activity.

Our space correspondent Luca Parmitano answers a question on space exploration and whether we should focus more on the Moon or Mars.

The complex process of winemaking, coupled with how the liquid ages in the bottle, make wine a fascinating case study in space.

"On the space station, we already recover 95% of the water onboard," explains Euronews space correspondent and ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano.

Euronews space correspondent and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Luca Parmitano has sent the latest instalment of Space Chronicles, a series in which he documents his experiences on the International Space Station (ISS) over a six-month period.

Nick Hague and Alexey Ovchinin spent 203 days on the ISS, orbiting Earth 3,248 times and travelling 86.1 million miles. Spaceflight participant Hazzaa Ali Almansoori was the first person from the UAE to fly in space.

The Indian space agency lost communication with its Chandrayaan-2 lunar mission on Friday, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation said.

From a machine that could 3D-print human organs in orbit to bacteria that could help develop a mining industry in space, our space correspondent Luca Parmitano explains the experiments he has been carrying out in his first month in orbit.

Since their arrival, the crew has been working hard. Getting used to life in space can be a challenge.

ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano has sent Euronews the first in a series of special messages to chronicle his mission to the International Space Station.

On September 25th, Hazza Al Mansoori will mark a historic moment for the UAE as the first Emirati astronaut to be sent into space.

The UAE space programme is striking partnerships with established space players as it seeks to turn its space dreams of Mars exploration and human spaceflight into reality.

NASA chief Jim Bridenstine said India has put the future of human space flight at risk after they successfully tested shooting down a satellite with a missile. 60 objects from the debris are 10 cm or bigger, making them large enough to track, 24 of which have gone above the apogee of the ISS.

The Crew Dragon capsule successfully docked with the International Space Station 27 hours after launching into orbit from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Florida's Space Coast.

2018 was a vintage year for Mars exploration. NASA's InSight landed on its surface, we found a lake under the south pole, and the ESA-Roscosmo ExoMars rover began to be built in the UK.
