Photo of the Day Stars created these cliffs. Specifically, the destructive winds and energetic light from the stars in the open cluster NGC 3324 eroded away part of a mountain of dark interstellar dust in the northern part of the Carina Nebula. Several of these stars are visible toward the top of this highly [...]
Artemis I is the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, and the ground systems at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The first in a series of increasingly complex missions, Artemis I is an uncrewed flight test that will provide a foundation for [...]

DART is the first-ever mission dedicated to investigating and demonstrating one method of asteroid deflection by changing an asteroid’s motion in space through kinetic impact. This method will have DART deliberately collide with a target asteroid—which poses no threat to Earth— in order to change its speed and path. DART’s target is the binary, near-Earth [...]
Building on the incremental mission successes for the vehicle over the course of the program’s flight history, NS-16 will fly astronauts for the first time for Blue Origin. This is Blue Origin's 3nd launch of 2021, 16th launch of this suborbital New Shepard type booster and capsule hardware type and 1st human spaceflight. Jeff Bezos [...]
SpaceX's fourth GPS III launch will use the first stage from the previous GPS mission. This will be the first time a National Security Space Launch has flown on a flight proven booster. Falcon 9 will launch from SLC-40, Cape Canaveral and the booster will land downrange on a drone ship.GPS III are the third [...]
NASA is getting ready to send astronauts to explore more of the Moon as part of the Artemis program, and the agency has selected #SpaceX to continue development of the first commercial human lander that will safely carry the next two American astronauts to the lunar surface. At least one of those astronauts will make [...]
Building on the incremental mission successes for the vehicle over the course of the program’s flight history, NS-15 is a verification step prior to soon flying astronauts. This mission will execute a rehearsal of astronaut movements and timing for future astronaut flights. One of the primary operations will entail Blue Origin personnel (“astronauts”) entering the [...]
NASA is ready to make another attempt to certify its moon megarocket for spaceflight. The agency plans to do a test of its Space Launch System (SLS) rocket core stage at NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, on Thursday (March 18), during a two-hour window that opens at 3 p.m. EDT (1900 [...]
