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.
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.
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 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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Scientists discovered that an ancient impact scattered rocks from deep inside the Moon right where future astronauts plan to land. These rare mantle rocks could reveal secrets about the Moon's earliest history.
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.
China just pulled off two space firsts in one launch, testing both a crew capsule escape system and landing a reusable rocket in the ocean. The country is racing toward landing astronauts on the Moon by 2030.
NASA just announced a bold update to its moon mission timeline, with astronauts now set to land on the lunar surface in 2028. The agency is reshaping its Artemis program to ensure America's return to the moon is safe, successful, and worth the wait.
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.
The Artemis II crew just made history with humanity's farthest space journey in over 50 years. Now NASA is racing to put boots back on the Moon before 2029, with President Trump saying there's a "good shot" of making it happen.
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.
NASA just announced the four astronauts who will test critical moon landing systems in orbit in 2027, bringing humanity's return to the lunar surface one major step closer. The ambitious mission will test two different lunar landers in space before astronauts attempt an actual moon landing.
When Apollo 11's computer threw five alarms during the moon landing, Margaret Hamilton's safety features kept the mission alive. The computer scientist's innovative programming made humanity's first steps on the moon possible.
