NASA, Partners Update International Space Station 2026 Flight Plan
After reviewing the International Space Station flight schedule, NASA and its partners are adjusting launch opportunities for several upcoming missions. This update to the schedule better aligns mission planning, logistics, and timing for upcoming flights to support space station operations.
NASA Aircraft Studies Tiny Particles with Atmospheric Impacts
Scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have turned to one of NASA’s high-altitude research planes to characterize a population of tiny particles in Earth’s lower stratosphere. Despite their small size, the study shows, the particles appear to play an outsized role in atmospheric chemistry. The findings, published April 23 in […]
NASA Shares SpaceX Crew-13 Assignments for Space Station Mission
As part of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission, four crew members from three space agencies will launch no earlier than mid-September to the International Space Station for a long-duration science expedition. NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney will serve as spacecraft commander and pilot, respectively. They will be joined by CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Joshua Kutryk and Roscosmos […]
Trajectory View feature goes live!
With the Artemis II release of Eyes on the Solar System, we have added a long-requested new feature: a view showing the complete mission trajectory from a certain frame of reference. For the initial release, we added Artemis I and II, and also Voyager 1 and 2. Many more will be added soon. To use […]
NASA’s X-59 Shows Off Early Flight Test Maneuvers
The envelope expansion phase of any experimental aircraft is critical, not just for pushing the aircraft higher and faster, but for understanding how the aircraft operates in flight. As NASA’s X-59 experimental aircraft makes progress through its envelope expansion, the team is assessing data collected during specific maneuvers performed by the X-59’s pilot in flight. […]
Life Science, Space Gardening Top Thursday’s Research Schedule
A new exercise device, artery scans, and space gardening topped the research schedule for the Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station on Thursday. The orbital residents also worked on a spacesuit and continued unpacking the Progress 95 cargo craft.
Quantum Physics, Biomedicine, and Computer Gear Fill Wednesday’s Schedule
Physics, biomedicine, and computer networking were the dominant projects for the Expedition 74 crew aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday. The orbital residents also continued unpacking cargo from a pair of resupply ships while keeping up life support maintenance.
Hangar Sweet Home for NASA’s X-59
From the beginning of NASA’s work to bring its quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft from the drawing board into reality, the agency’s team knew they also needed to make a home for it. But at nearly 100 feet long and 30 feet wide, not just any hangar would do. So, while the experimental aircraft was being […]
