Long before Artemis II launched, NASA teams were running simulations to show how the rocket’s exhaust plumes would interact with the air, water, and the launchpad.

This robotic arm is the Swiss Army knife of the International Space Station.

It’s Tax Day. But if you think your taxes are complicated, try filing taxes as an astronaut.

Space really is the final frontier, and we’re on the brink of so many new discoveries about it.

NASA’s space shuttle fleet began setting records with Columbia’s first launch on April 12th, 1981.

Astronauts describe the moment they first saw our home planet from space as profound and life changing.

On April 9th,1959, NASA presented the Mercury 7, America’s first astronauts.

Recent observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have ruled out any danger to Earth or the Moon from Asteroid 24 YR4.

When flying in certain weather conditions, tiny freezing water droplets floating in the air can accumulate on an aircraft, posing a serious safety risk.

As Artemis astronauts travel around the Moon, they will venture beyond Earth’s protective magnetic field.

Just like many of us, astronauts on the International Space Station look forward to weekends.

In 1960, NASA launched the first weather satellite to determine if Earth could really be studied from space.

Exploring ocean worlds, like Europa, Enceladus or Titan, require electronics that can function in unforgiving conditions.

When NASA’s DART spacecraft intentionally impacted the asteroid Dimorphos, one of two asteroids in a binary system, the crash shifted the orbit of both asteroids around the Sun.

The farther the destination, the more fuel a rocket needs. The more fuel the rocket carries, the heavier the spacecraft. The heavier the spacecraft, the more fuel it requires to launch.

Snow covered the ground that Tuesday morning one hundred years ago. A professor, his wife and two colleagues were about to soar into the future.
