Later this month, NASA is launching more than rockets, as America's space agency puts it. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is set to release NASA+, its new, free streaming service this November. For space fans, this is pretty exciting news. But what exactly is NASA+ and...
The rocket is relatively small and light compared to the kinds of rockets we use to launch from Earth because Mars’s gravity is lower and the samples will have such a small amount of mass. The total mass of the rocket will be just over 1,000 pounds, so it’s feasible for a mechanis...

NASA's $5 billion Europa Clipper had a rocky road to space. How it switched rockets and more to launch to JupiterNews By Briley Lewis published October 15, 2024 NASA's latest flagship mission to Jupiter was originally supposed to launch on a Space Launch System rocket, yet here we are....
Another bonus for astronauts is that nuclear-powered rockets afford the crew chances to abort a deep space mission. On chemical engines, once a spacecraft were headed to Mars, there would be no coming back until the planets lined up again. ...
The entire craft includes a crew and service module, a spacecraft adaptor to connect the module to the powerful rockets beneath, and a new launch-abort system. The June 28, 2016 booster engine test for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket was a success! The second and final qualificat...
s strategy. The report said NASA did not have the resources to carry out the missions advocated by the administration of President George W. Bush, including sending astronauts back to the moon on NASA-built rockets. That led to NASA shelving the moon mission, though it was revived unde...
