NASA’s live coverage of crew farewells and Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft hatch closing aboard the International Space Station now is streaming across multiple platforms. Watch online at https://www.nasa.gov/live.
NASA added a new X-59 test pilot to support the agency’s Quesst mission: Mike Lippert, a research test pilot based at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. “This fulfills a lifelong dream of conducting airborne research and experimental flight test for NASA in the high desert — contributing to humankind’s understanding of the science […]
The Expedition 74 crew is wrapping up its final weekend together with biomedical checks, spacesuit cleaning, and cargo packing inside the Soyuz MS-28 crew spacecraft. The orbital residents will swap commanders on Saturday the day before three crewmates depart the International Space Station for a ride back to Earth.
The International Space Station will change commanders on Saturday before three Expedition 74 crew members return to Earth on Sunday. As the homebound trio prepares for departure, the rest of the orbital crewmates is keeping up microgravity research and checking out spacewalking gear.
Three Expedition 74 crew members are nearing the end of their stay aboard the International Space Station handing over mission responsibilities and packing up cargo for return to Earth. Science hardware, lab maintenance, and spacesuits kept the rest of the crew busy aboard the orbital outpost.
Biomedical research to keep the Expedition 74 crew healthy and advance health on Earth packed Tuesday’s schedule aboard the International Space Station. The orbital residents are also handing over their mission responsibilities as three crewmates prepare to return to Earth this weekend.
A new study, funded by NASA, found that giant sequoias were nearly four times more likely to survive extreme wildfires in forests that have been managed with prescribed burns, which decrease tree mortality.
Three Expedition 74 crew members are packing up cargo and handing over their responsibilities with less than one week to go before returning to Earth. The International Space Station’s three newest crewmates are already in the second week of their mission getting used to life on orbit and researching how microgravity affects the human body.
When NASA’s Psyche spacecraft flew by Mars for a gravity assist on May 15, 2026, it gave the mission team an opportunity to test instruments and prep for science they’ll conduct when reaching the metal-rich asteroid Psyche in 2029, and collect images and a time-lapse video of the Mars encounter.
