Like NASA's Curiosity rover, InSight has a full-scale working model at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. This sister lander, aptly named ForeSight, lets the team test all operations before they happen on Mars.

With no apparent hazards in its way, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has been given a "go" to stay on its optimal path as it speeds closer to a Jan. 1 flyby of a Kuiper Belt object a billion miles beyond Pluto.

New NASA research confirms that Saturn's rings are being pulled into Saturn by gravity as a dusty rain of ice particles under the influence of Saturn’s magnetic field.

Look closely, and you can make out the lander's solar panels.

Weeks after Parker Solar Probe made the closest-ever approach to a star, the science data from the first solar encounter is just making its way into the hands of the mission's scientists.
