The four astronauts aboard NASA's Artemis II mission spent their fifth day in space on Sunday conducting a full evaluation of the orange Orion Crew Survival System suits they would rely on in an emergency, as the spacecraft closed in on the Moon at roughly 60,000 miles out ahead of a historic flyby......
NASA released the first photographs taken by the Artemis II crew on Friday, offering striking views of Earth as four astronauts travel toward the Moon on the first crewed lunar mission in more than five decades. The images, captured by mission commander Reid Wiseman through a window of the Orion spacecraft,......
China's most powerful privately developed rocket, the Tianlong-3, failed on its maiden flight Friday after suffering an in-flight anomaly, dealing a setback to the country's ambitions to rapidly deploy satellite megaconstellations capable of rivaling SpaceX's Starlink network. The Tianlong-3,......
A cache of more than 700 fossils unearthed in southwestern China has shown that complex animal life was already diversifying millions of years before the celebrated Cambrian explosion, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science. The discovery, from a site known as the Jiangchuan......
For the first time in NASA history, astronauts are carrying personal smartphones on a deep-space mission. Videos circulating on social media show the four-member Artemis II crew tossing iPhones across the cabin of the Orion spacecraft in weightlessness, just hours after launching on a historic 10-day......
The James Webb Space Telescope has delivered new findings about TOI-5205 b, a Jupiter-sized exoplanet already considered anomalous for orbiting a star far too small to have formed it. Observations published this week in The Astronomical Journal show that the planet's atmosphere contains fewer heavy......
A toilet malfunction aboard NASA's Orion capsule became one of the first technical challenges of the Artemis II mission, just hours after the crew made history by launching on humanity's first crewed journey toward the Moon in more than 53 years. Mission Specialist Christina Koch reported that......
Four NASA astronauts aboard the Artemis II mission have reached stable Earth orbit, completing the first critical phase of a journey that will take humans closer to the Moon than any crew since Apollo 13. The Orion capsule successfully separated from the Space Launch System rocket and completed initial......
NASA is set to launch its Artemis II mission Wednesday evening, sending four astronauts on the first crewed journey to the Moon since Apollo 17 in December 1972. Among them is Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, who will become the first non-American to travel beyond low Earth orbit. The......
Four astronauts are set to make history today as NASA prepares to launch Artemis II, the first crewed journey to the Moon in more than 50 years. Liftoff is scheduled for 6:24 p.m. EDT from Launch Complex 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, with weather forecasts showing an 80% favorable outlook for......
NASA's Perseverance rover has made two significant discoveries on the rim of Jezero Crater that together strengthen the case for ancient microbial life on Mars. Scientists have identified microscopic corundum crystals — the mineral that forms rubies and sapphires on Earth — alongside......
SpaceX launched its Transporter-16 rideshare mission Monday morning from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, sending 119 payloads to a sun-synchronous orbit aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. One of the largest dedicated smallsat rideshare flights in SpaceX history, the mission lifted off from Space Launch......
Researchers at the University of Rochester and the Rochester Institute of Technology have developed a new type of laser that manipulates sound particles rather than light, a breakthrough they say could eventually contribute to navigation systems immune to jamming. The findings, published March 30 in......
