Members of the media are invited to tour a new lunar landing simulator at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley on Thursday, Oct. 29, and Friday, Oct. 30.
NASA just gave us our best look yet at its Artemis III moon-lander test flight, which is scheduled to launch to Earth orbit next year. But a firm liftoff date has not yet been announced.
As NASA returns humans to the lunar surface and establishes a long-term presence on our closest celestial neighbor, the agency and commercial human landing system providers Blue Origin and SpaceX have streamlined the designs and changed both concepts of operations for its future crewed landers. Since NASA established initial contracts with Blue Origin and SpaceX […]
Before astronauts return to the lunar surface, NASA will first conduct one of the most ambitious and complex test missions in the agency’s history. Launching in 2027, Artemis III will send NASA astronauts Randy Bresnik, Frank Rubio, Andre Douglas, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Luca Parmitano aboard the Orion spacecraft into low Earth orbit […]
Victor Glover recalls how a suspected cabin leak warning came just 15 minutes before a crucial engine burn — and why receiving it just five minutes later could have changed everything.
NASA will provide an update about its Artemis III mission and its plans to land astronauts on the moon during a press conference today (Oct. 23). Here’s how to watch it live.
NASA has updated the timeline for its Artemis III mission and mapped out the expected progress for SpaceX and Blue Origin’s respective moon landers.
The Artemis II crew have joined an impressive list of honourees, including Buzz Aldrin, Jane Goodall and David Attenborough.
As the supercooled propellant flowed into the core stage, and NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket roared to life, Allison Mjoen and her family watched with awe and pride. Mjoen, NASA’s operations manager for the agency’s Exploration Ground Systems program, helped shape the systems and ground operations that will one day send humans back to […]
NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four astronauts around the Moon and brought them safely back to Earth, laying a foundation for crewed flights to the Moon’s surface. Additional engineering data analysis of the Orion spacecraft’s heat shield confirmed initial data showing the heat shield performed as expected. In particular, NASA measured whether the thermal protection […]
