NASA has pulled off a high-flying aurora investigation, launching three rockets into the glowing northern lights over Alaska. One mission targeted mysterious dark patches called black auroras, while the twin GNEISS rockets created a 3D scan of the aurora’s electrical currents.

NASA’s recent twin rocket missions from Alaska are aimed at unlocking the mysteries of auroras, specifically the rare and little-understood black auroras. Launched from the Poker Flat Research Range near Fairbanks,

NASA launched two sounding rocket missions from Alaska to measure auroral electrical currents and study geomagnetic storm impacts on Earth’s upper atmosphere and space-based systems.

NASA is launching a rocket mission from Alaska as early as Saturday to study and help understand electrical circuitry underlying the aurora.

NASA and SpaceX's Crew-12 mission is set to launch 4 astronauts to the International Space Station. Here's when and how to watch the Florida liftoff.

Early risers across the East Coast may get a special pre-dawn show Friday morning as NASA and SpaceX prepare to launch the Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station.

The White House budget proposal aims to discontinue NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) after three missions due to cost overruns. NASA's overall budget, including science programs, faces cuts, with the Mars Sample Return mission slated for termination.

NASA launched two rockets from Alaska this week to learn more about the electrical "circuitry" within auroras.

Mars Sample Return would have turbo-charged Rocket Lab's revenue and added a feather to its cap.
