Four astronauts splashed down safely off California's coast after completing humanity's first crewed journey around the Moon in over 50 years. The successful 10-day Artemis II mission marks a giant leap toward future lunar landings and deep space exploration.
NASA is planning an exciting extra mission before astronauts land on the Moon again. The new Artemis III will test critical spacecraft in Earth orbit to make the lunar landing safer.
NASA is launching four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the moon as early as this week, marking America's most ambitious space mission in over 50 years. The crew will live in a capsule the size of a small bathroom, testing everything needed for future lunar landings. ---
Four astronauts touched down in Florida this week, ready to make history as the first crew to fly to the moon since 1972. Their launch window opens April 1 for a 10-day journey that will test critical systems for future lunar landings.
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.
After years of delays and repairs, NASA has cleared humanity's first crewed moon mission in over 50 years for launch as early as April 1. Four astronauts will fly around the moon aboard the Artemis II rocket, paving the way for future lunar landings.
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.
NASA just announced an accelerated timeline to return astronauts to the Moon, with plans for annual lunar missions beginning in 2028. The space agency is adding a new test mission and streamlining its rocket design to make Moon exploration a regular occurrence for the first time in human history.
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.
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.
Four bright orange spacesuits are prepped and ready to carry astronauts around the moon for the first time in over 50 years. The Artemis 2 crew will take a 10-day journey in 2026 to test critical systems for future lunar landings. #
