NASA astronaut captures aurora space spectacle

Engine trouble has prompted the US space agency to postpone the debut launch of its next generation rocketship. Its Artemis program aims to eventually fly astronauts back to the moon..

NASA may roll the 32-story Artemis 1 rocket into a hangar due to the storm, which should reach hurricane strength next week. NASA won't try to thread the weather needle with its Artemis 1 moon mission after all.

Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti is the fifth European to take command of the ISS. She says the space station gives her hope for peace on Earth.

It will take the capsule about a week to fly around the moon. If the space vehicle is proven safe, NASA hopes it will carry astronauts to the lunar surface by 2025.

NASA and the defense research agency DARPA believe they can safely use nuclear energy to power human spaceflight to the red planet.

The Soyuz MS-23 has been sent on a mission to bring back three astronauts from the ISS. It carried 429 kg additional cargo required to extend their stay.

The launch was postponed due to a "ground system issue." The four astronauts would have been the sixth crew to be transported to the ISS by a SpaceX rocket.

NASA and a private company revealed a new space suit prototype. Astronauts are to wear it on the next moon mission.

The crew of Artemis II includes the first woman, the first Black person and the first Canadian to fly to the moon. It is the first such mission in some 50 years.

Rocket Lab launched the first of two NASA storm-tracking satellites into orbit from a launch complex in New Zealand. The mission hopes to to improve weather forecasting for powerful tropical cyclones.

In a bold stride towards the cosmos, the concept of settling on Mars is no longer just a flight of fancy. A number of ambitious plans for Martian travel and colonisation are underway, but first, why not simulate the conditions on Earth?

The extreme temperatures across continents are no surprise, say NASA's top scientists. They believe there’s a "50-50 chance" that 2023 will be the hottest year on record, with next year likely even warmer.
