NASA just announced an ambitious plan to ramp up to monthly moon landings, transforming space exploration from occasional missions into a regular delivery service. The agency aims to complete 73 robotic missions over the next decade, building the foundation for a permanent lunar base.
China is combining its crewed and uncrewed lunar programs into one unified mission, drawing on decades of space exploration experience. The move signals major progress in the country's plan to send astronauts to the moon.
NASA is ramping up its Artemis program with a new 2027 test mission and plans to land astronauts on the Moon's South Pole in 2028, then launch one lunar mission every year after that. The agency is streamlining its rocket systems to make the Moon more accessible than ever before.
Smithsonian researchers discovered over 1,100 new ridges on the moon that reveal where future moonquakes might occur, helping NASA plan safer landing sites for astronauts returning to the lunar surface. The breakthrough could protect crews heading back to the moon as early as 2027.
NASA is canceling its planned Gateway space station orbiting the moon to focus instead on building a permanent base on the lunar surface. The shift accelerates America's return to the moon with astronauts landing as early as 2028.
NASA just announced a smarter path back to the moon, adding a crucial test flight in 2027 before attempting a lunar landing in 2028. The change means astronauts will practice docking with a lunar lander in orbit first, dramatically reducing risks and increasing chances of success.
NASA wants to land robotic spacecraft on the moon every month starting in 2027, a dramatic acceleration that could fast-track humanity's return to the lunar surface. The ambitious plan aims to build the foundation for a permanent moon base by 2030.
China is merging its robotic and human spaceflight programs into one unified effort to land astronauts on the moon by 2030. The integration brings together decades of expertise from both programs to accelerate the nation's lunar exploration timeline.
Daniel Stubbs is solving one of the biggest challenges facing NASA's return to the Moon: massive dust clouds kicked up by rocket engines that could blind instruments and damage equipment. His work modeling lunar dust plumes is helping ensure astronauts land safely when Artemis missions touch down in 2028.
NASA is shaking up its Artemis program with a smart new plan: adding an extra test mission in 2027 to make sure astronauts can safely land on the Moon by 2028. The changes come as America races to return humans to the lunar surface for the first time in over 50 years.
NASA just announced a bold overhaul of its Artemis moon program, aiming to land astronauts on the lunar surface twice in 2028. The new approach mirrors the rapid launch pace of the historic Apollo missions that first put humans on the moon.
Less than a week after splashing down from humanity's first crewed moon mission in over 50 years, NASA's Artemis 2 astronauts say landing on the lunar surface is closer than ever. Their successful 10-day journey proved the spacecraft is ready to take humans back to the moon.
Scientists may have finally found Luna 9, the first spacecraft to safely land on the Moon in 1966, using artificial intelligence to scan thousands of lunar images. The discovery could help preserve space exploration history and proves AI can spot tiny artifacts from orbit.
NASA just announced its ambitious Moon Base program, launching three unmanned missions starting in 2026 to prepare for humanity's first return to the Moon since 1969. The missions will test equipment, map landing sites, and build infrastructure for a permanent human presence on the lunar surface.
Four astronauts splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean after completing humanity's first journey around the moon in over 50 years. The successful mission paves the way for NASA's planned moon landing in 2028 and a permanent lunar base by the 2030s.
NASA just received a full-scale prototype of Blue Origin's lunar lander crew cabin and is starting astronaut training for humanity's return to the moon. The 15-foot cabin marks a major step toward the 2028 moon landing goal.
NASA just announced it's canceling plans for a lunar space station and instead will build an ambitious Moon base over the next decade. The agency is shifting from expensive, slow-moving projects to focused action that could land four astronauts on the Moon for month-long missions within 12 years.
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.
Kerala's new government is overhauling outdated land laws to free up unused property for industrial growth and finally give thousands of coastal and hill residents proper land titles. The bold "Land Reforms 2.0" plan tackles decades of red tape that kept vast government land parcels locked away while businesses struggled to find space.
NASA just announced three lunar missions kicking off this year to prepare for astronauts returning to the Moon in 2028. These missions will test new technology, study the lunar surface, and pave the way for humanity's first permanent Moon base.
