Ingenuity’s successful flight demonstration, nailing its midair pivot and hovering in place as planned, decisively adds powered rotorcraft to NASA’s exploration toolbox for future interplanetary missions. Ingenuity’s main mission is to demonstrate flight, with no objectives to explore Mars or carry...
NASA is embarking on an historic mission to take humans farther into space than we have ever traveled. By mid-decade, The Orion spacecraft is expected to take the next man—and first woman—to the moon, with follow-on missions that will eventually result in crewed missions to Mars as part...
The success of both Mars Pathfinder and Mars Global Surveyor were to start off a period of frequent missions. NASA planed on launching Mars spacecraft every two years as the planets aligned properly. Disaster struck in 1998. Both the Mars Climate Orbiter and the Mars Polar Lander spacecraft ...
By collaborating with commercial and international partners, NASA will “establish a sustainable presence” on the moon and prep for missions to Mars. The first crewed mission to the moon is expected for September 2025. Updated at 7:54 pm EST....

it was a historic achievement for the country and all of humankind. Another exciting phase now awaited; to analyze the data found on the previously rather unexplored south side. Could it be the beginning of creating a permanent base on the Moon for deeper space missions to Mars and beyond?
Upcoming missions include the launch of the 20-ton core module for the still orbiting Tiangong 2 station, along with specialized components for a more-than 60-ton station that is due to come online in 2022 and a Mars rover planned for the mid 2020s. ...
The Apollo missions inspired a whole generation of kids who wanted to grow up to be astronauts, rocket scientists, and engineers. We all know that science education has been slightly lacking in the United States as of late. Don’t you think that NASA’q return, to the moon, or more impo...
The highly anticipated launch will mark the first time astronauts will travel in SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule, with Elon Musk’s space company already having perfected missions to and from the ISS using its Falcon 9 rocket and the cargo-only Dragon spacecraft. ...
"It's going to change the way in which we explore. It's going to return our nation to the moon, and it is going to pave the way for our next steps as we prepare to go someplace like Mars, and even destinations beyond." Charlie Blackwell-Thompson (standing), NASA's first female la...
