The so-called swing test involved a representative six-seat vehicle in a lift-plus-cruise configuration.

Potential partners have until Jan. 24 to respond to NASA.

The Dream Chaser’s ISS missions are the first of several orbital roles expected to be operated from Sierra Space’s mission control center.

Startup’s lunar lander is an early attempt to commercialize the Moon.

Impulse Space plans to launch its first space tug mission, LEO Express-1, in the fourth quarter of 2023.

The more primitive Cosmic Dark Ages (CDA) are yet to be exposed.

Dream Chaser spaceplane tests in 2023 mark first operational steps toward development of Sierra Space’s orbital ecosystem.

The 2023 budget includes funding for establishing a human presence at the Moon and developing new deep-space technologies.

The Center for High-Efficiency Electrical Technologies for Aircraft is developing and maturing technologies for a 180-seat airliner powered by liquid-hydrogen.

NASA is assessing a private initiative to boost and service the flagship observatory.

NASA's probe slammed into a targeted asteroid on Sept. 26 to demonstrate a kinetic impact strategy as a potential means of shielding the Earth from a disastrous collision in future.

Stymied by a new liquid hydrogen leak, NASA called off its second attempt to launch the Artemis I flight test.

CAPE CANAVERAL -- NASA managers on Sept. 3 cleared the Kennedy Space Center launch team to proceed with fueling the two-stage Space Launch System (SLS

The weather forecast for a launch attempt on Sept. 3 is not ideal, with just a 40% chance conditions will be suitable for liftoff due to cloud cover and the chance of rain and lightning.

NASA had planned to launch the SLS, carrying an uncrewed Orion spacecraft, during a 2-hr. window that opened at 8:33 a.m. EDT. The next launch opportunity is at 12:48 p.m. EDT on Sept. 2.

CAPE CANAVERAL — The countdown for NASA’s first Space Launch System (SLS) rocket went into an unplanned hold at the T-minus-40 min. mark to allow the

SpaceX CRS-25 autonomously docked to the International Space Station’s U.S. segment Harmony module on July 16, delivering more than 5,800 lbs. of crew supplies, science investigations, technology development projects and station hardware.

The flight marks the first time NASA has launched from a commercial spaceport outside of the United States.

Axiom Mission-1's (Ax-1) four private astronauts successfully docked to the International Space Station (ISS) April 9, to begin an eight-day visit filled with medical and scientific research and technology development activities.

The April 3 WDR was scrubbed in response to a loss of capability to sufficiently pressurize the Mobile Launch Platform (MLP), upon which the 322-ft. tall, 5.75 million-lb. rocket rests.

Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Rogozin has again threatened that Russia could withdraw from the International Space Station if Western countries don’t lift

The reconfiguration of the James Webb Space Telescope continued on Dec. 30 with the removal of covers that protected the observatory’s delicate sunshield for launch, setting the stage for the deployment of a five-layer, tennis court-sized structure needed to passively cool the telescope for its science program.

“There’s 344 things that now have to work perfectly,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a post-launch interview.

NASA and Roscosmos continue to pursue an astronaut/cosmonaut crew exchange agreement for Soyuz and NASA Commercial Crew launches to the International Space Station.

Launch is being delayed to no earlier than Dec. 24 due to a communications issue between the observatory and its Ariane 5 launch vehicle.
