The transition team has been grappling with an agency that has a superfluity of field centers—ten spread across the United States, as well as a formal headquarters in Washington, DC—and large, slow-moving programs that cost a lot of money and have been slow to deliver results.
Through NASA's Artemis campaign, astronauts will land on the lunar surface and use a new generation of spacesuits and rovers as they live, work, and conduct science in the moon's south pole region, exploring more of the lunar surface than ever before.
NASA has pushed its first two crewed Artemis moon missions back to 2026 and 2027, and the move could have big ramifications.
Space missions to the moon, Mars and beyond often get the most attention, but NASA's Near Space Network does a lot of heavy lifting for humankind's reach for the stars.
In February 2024, more than half a century after the America's last crewed mission to the Moon, Apollo 17, concluded, NASA finally made a comeback up there. It didn’t send people, but a robotic lander developed by Intuitive Machines and delivered to Luna ...
The Parker Solar Probe will swoop just 6.1 million kilometers above the sun’s surface on Christmas Eve. Scientists are thrilled at what we might learn
Christmas Eve, NASA and Earth
NASA finalized its strategy for sustaining a human presence in space this week, looking ahead toward the planned de-orbiting of the International Space Station in 2030.
A NASA spacecraft is about to make the closest approach to the sun. The Parker Solar Probe was launched in 2018 to get a close-up look at the sun.
NASA shared a slow motion video of the forward bay cover jettison test, which was completed on Nov. 23. The test demonstrated the processes for ejecting the spacecraft's docking module, which is required to properly unfold Orion's parachute system and deploy the five airbags designed to inflate upon splashdown, according to the statement.
At 3.8 million miles from the Sun's surface, Parker Solar Probe will be the closest a human-made object's ever been to our host star.
