NASA is continuing to operate the International Space Station with Russia and other partners, but is weighing its options.
At the end of 2016 -- the beginning of 2017, RKK Energia formulated a new design for a super-heavy rocket for Russia's prospective lunar-exploration program. The new architecture, approaching NASA's Space Launch System, SLS, in size and payload, had two possible variations of the upper sta...
Senate votes to allow continued import of Russian rocket engines U.S. Senators overwhelmingly passed an amendment to an Iran-Russia sanctions bill June 15 to fix language some argued could have prevented NASA and others from launching missions on rockets that use Russian engines. On the Senate ...
The United States has announced it is developing a heavy rocket for deep space expeditions. It might use Russian-made engines which is the result of house-cleaning in the U.S. space industry. On Wednesday, NASA reported that it had chosen a design for a new carrier rocket called the Space...

was a very successful day for the team," said Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, Artemis launch director. NASA got to within T-29 seconds of liftoff during the test, near its intended target of T-9.3 seconds, before ending the test just prior to igniting the rocket's four main engines,...
(Image credit: NASA TV) The two spacewalkers also photo documented the condition of the plume deflectors at the aft end of Zvezda service module for later analysis by Russian engineers on the ground. The deflectors shield the station from the plume of the module's engines. The inspection ...
Elon Musk’s private SpaceX took a swipe at Rogozin after he said Russia would stop supplying rocket engines to U.S. companies--Northrop Grumman and United Launch Alliance--adding they could use broomsticks to get to orbit. At a launch last week, a SpaceX official responded: “Time to le...
with six fuel tanks surrounding it. The first stage is powered by six RD-275 engines attached to the fuel tanks, producing a max thrust of 10,470 kN. Despite the fuel tanks resembling strap-on boosters like those used by the American Atlas V rocket, the tanks are not designed to separat...
