The core stage of NASA's next moon mission rocket has reached Kennedy Space Center after a 900-mile journey from New Orleans. While this particular mission will stay in Earth orbit to test lunar landing systems, it's paving the way for humans to walk on the moon again by 2028.
While Artemis II astronauts circled the Moon in April, volunteers with backyard telescopes spotted bright flashes of space rocks striking the lunar surface. Now NASA needs more amateur astronomers to keep watching and submit their videos.
Four astronauts safely returned to Earth in April after circling the moon, marking humanity's first lunar mission since 1972. The historic flight sets the stage for returning humans to the moon's surface by 2028.
You don't need to be an astronaut to help NASA explore space. The space agency has opened dozens of citizen science projects where anyone worldwide can contribute to real research making space travel safer and healthier.
Four astronauts survived a blazing reentry at 35 times the speed of sound, protected by a redesigned heat shield that worked beautifully. After concerns from 2022's test flight, NASA's fixes proved successful when Artemis II splashed down safely off San Diego on April 10, 2026.
NASA is launching four hopping drones to explore the moon's south pole, mapping 30 miles each to find the perfect spots for astronauts and future lunar bases. Building on the success of Mars' Ingenuity helicopter, the ambitious MoonFall mission aims to complete its work before crews arrive in 2028.
Four astronauts flew around the moon and came back with a message more powerful than their record-breaking journey: love your neighbors, even your enemies. Their friendship in space inspired millions to build peace right where they are.
Four astronauts just traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history, breaking a record that stood for 56 years. The original record holder couldn't be happier to pass the torch.
NASA astronaut Christina Koch shared a lighthearted video of herself struggling to walk in a straight line just one week after returning from her historic moon mission. Her candid post reveals what happens when the brain learns to ignore gravity for 10 days.
Four astronauts just completed a groundbreaking 10-day journey around the moon with pinpoint precision. The only hitch? A clogged urine vent line that NASA says taught them exactly what they needed to know.
Astronauts watching a solar eclipse from the moon spotted meteorite impacts in real time, giving NASA crucial data for designing structures that can withstand the lunar surface's harsh conditions. The observations came just days after the historic Artemis II mission brought four astronauts closer to the moon than anyone in over 50 years.
Jordan became the 63rd country to sign the Artemis Accords, pledging to explore space peacefully and share discoveries with all humanity. The kingdom brings serious engineering talent and a growing space program to the international partnership.
After concerns that a faulty heat shield might endanger astronauts, NASA's Artemis II spacecraft survived a blistering 24,664 mph reentry with minimal damage. The successful test clears a major hurdle for humanity's return to the moon.
After concerns that the heat shield might fail, NASA's Artemis II crew capsule safely returned to Earth with minimal damage. Early inspections show the spacecraft performed beautifully during its 24,664 mph plunge through the atmosphere.
NASA astronauts just showed us Earth's glow from 240,000 miles away, and they filmed it all on an iPhone. The breathtaking footage reveals how our planet's reflected sunlight illuminated the Orion spacecraft during the historic Artemis II mission.
Jordan signed NASA's Artemis Accords this week, joining 62 other nations committed to peaceful space exploration and humanity's return to the Moon. The engineering-rich country brings valuable tech expertise to the global effort building lunar bases and advancing space research.
Four U.S. Navy divers became the first people ever to enter NASA's Orion spacecraft at sea, greeting astronauts after their historic 700,000-mile journey around the moon. Their role marked a new chapter in space recovery operations dating back to the Apollo era.
Four Navy divers became the first people ever to enter NASA's Orion spacecraft at sea, greeting astronauts after their historic 10-day journey around the moon. Their work marked a new chapter in space recovery operations, combining advanced medical care with precision rescue in the Pacific Ocean.
NASA astronauts just returned from the moon with breathtaking new photos of Earth, including a rare view of our planet setting behind the lunar surface. These images join the ranks of history's most iconic space photos, reminding us how precious our home planet truly is.
American astronauts could walk on the moon again in 2028, thanks to a fresh approach to designing next-generation spacesuits. NASA and Axiom Space are pushing forward with confidence despite delays that once threatened to push lunar landings back to 2031.
