Today, NASA announced the four Artemis III astronauts and one backup crew member for the 2027 test flight. NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik will serve as the commander, alongside mission specialists Andre Douglas and Frank Rubio (also with NASA). European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Luca Parmitano will serve as the mission’s pilot.

The new space telescope will work in tandem with the Hubble Space Telescope to uncover more secrets of the universe.

So why is NASA launching fewer telescopes and planetary science missions than it did a quarter-century ago? The answer is complex. It is not necessarily the money. The space agency’s science budget this year is $7.

After six months of silence and a failed recovery effort, NASA has officially ended the MAVEN mission. The fragmented telemetry that sealed its fate revealed a spacecraft spinning out of control.

NASA announced the four astronauts that will join the next Artemis mission — a test flight vital to putting astronauts back on the surface of the moon.

For most of spaceflight history, once a spacecraft was launched, its communication options were fixed. It could talk to Earth only through whatever network its antenna and onboard hardware had been built to support a single government relay system,

Experts have been hopeful, but say the agency’s lunar aspirations are largely at the whims of two billionaires, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

The International Space Station (ISS) witnessed a busy day as Expedition 74 astronauts conducted a series of scientific experiments, installed critical hardware, and prepared for a high-stakes repair of the station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm.

NASA officials expressed several reasons for making the moon base, in effect, a small city.

A new film reveals how D-Day forecasts shaped Eisenhower—and how that moment still drives NASA and science on the Space Coast today.
