Live launch coverage is underway on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency’s YouTube channel as teams prepare for the Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft launch to the International Space Station. Liftoff is scheduled for 10:47 a.m. EDT (7:47 p.m. Baikonur time) on Tuesday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
NASA’s SunRISE (Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment) mission will launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, shifting from its original ride into space aboard a United Launch Alliance Vulcan Centaur vehicle. NASA will share updated launch timing in the near future. The heliophysics mission will fly as […]
It is full steam ahead at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida as teams process and assemble flight hardware in preparation for the upcoming crewed Artemis III mission. Less than three months after the safe return of the Artemis II crew, teams began stacking the twin SLS (Space Launch System) solid rocket booster segments inside […]
Expedition 74 is poised to welcome three new crew members to the International Space Station who are counting down to their launch aboard a Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft.
The R5-S9 (Realizing Rapid, Reduced-cost high-Risk Research project Spacecraft 9) CubeSat, developed by NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, lifted off at 12:12 a.m. PDT Tuesday, July 7, aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California as part of the Transporter-17 rideshare mission with SpaceX.

NASA’s Calibration Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory Pathfinder, or CLARREO Pathfinder mission, reached a significant milestone this summer by achieving first light. First light showcases a mission’s ability to successfully power on and capture data, in this case detailed spectral data, validating years of preparation and pre-launch testing. This moment marks the first time the […]
Vein scans and cartilage engineering wrapped up a busy week aboard the International Space Station. The Expedition 74 crew members also configured the orbital outpost for a new crew, tested new cooking gear, and conducted muscle measurements.
Commissioning is well underway for Katalyst’s robotic servicing spacecraft LINK, which is designed to boost the orbit of NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory.
With less than two months until the launch of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, engineers at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida are preparing the observatory for its trip to space. Inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, technicians used large cranes to carefully lift Roman and place it onto a specialized work platform, known […]
