NASA astronaut Eileen Collins will be featured in "Spacewoman", a documentary coming in 2025 about the first female space commander and pilot.

Moon robotics will move around astronauts and equipment to get ready for lunar landings. But first, comes the simulation of Canadarm3 to make sure everything will fit.

The International Space Station busted a move above Earth Jan. 27, allowing space station astronauts to use physics for a floating ride in orbit.

The Artemis 2 moon astronauts recently finished a splashdown exercise in a pool to get ready for more ambitious simulations in the water. They are slated to fly in 2025.

NASA astronaut Nick Hague will make his 1st trip to space for Space Force, but he's been there twice before already.

A new generation of spacesuit is getting ready for ISS missions. Collins Aerospace recently did testing on a spacesuit for spacewalks while flying parabolic.

Frank Rubio recently became the first American to spend more than a year in space on a single mission. When will the agency send another astronaut up for a full turn around the sun?

Japan's first moon lander is furiously doing science after staying asleep for more than a week. How long it can keep going remains unclear.

Walking robots might populate Mars one day, but first they need some practice on Earth. Dog-like robot Bert explored an alien-like terrain with an ISS astronaut at the controls.

NASA says the ISS is healthy enough to keep flying past 2030, as things stand today. But the agency has other factors to consider to keep the venerable complex in space.

Four astronauts are set to fly aboard SpaceX to the International Space Station no earlier than late February, NASA officials announced. They will be in space for half a year.

NASA completed a new Artemis moon program test on Jan. 23, firing one of its Space Launch System RS-25 engines for about eight minutes.

As NASA leadership paused to remember fallen astronauts, the agency urged its employees to "think smaller" and focus on all the items to keep future crews like Artemis 2 safe.

Axiom Space will provide spacesuits for the first moon landing in half a century, aiming to reach the critical design review stage in June —as the greater Artemis program battles delays.

Sierra Space's latest deliberate explosion saw a futuristic space module prototype blow to pieces. The burst test is meant to assure safety for a space station that may fly in 2030.

SpaceX's Starship launch site in South Texas may get bigger soon. The company has offered a land swap with the state to expand launch activities.

A satellite testing solar power in space faced a strange deployment issue in 2023. The lessons learned will make future designs even better, its team says.

As the Mars Ingenuity helicopter continues to soar, an early-stage Red Planet craft is in the works. The first fixed-wing plane on Mars would seek water — and perhaps life.

An RS-25 engine rated for future human moon missions fired up on Jan. 17 for about eight minutes in a key test for NASA's Artemis program.

The tiny Icelandic town of Grindavík lies under threat from a lava flow, imaged from space by a satellite.

A new moon water challenge from the United Kingdom and Canada asks participants to purify the liquid for safe drinking, in time for astronaut lunar landings later in the 2020s.

The ailing Peregrine moon lander is expected to crash into Earth's atmosphere on Jan. 18, a demise that its maker, Astrobotic, pledged to make as safe as possible.

NASA's Curiosity rover found a Mars rock shaped like a Star Trek badge this month. The mission continues to beam up images from the Red Planet after 12 years of work.

The leak that stopped the Peregrine moon lander's attempt is nearly finished, but the Astrobotic mission is still on track to burn up above Earth instead of reaching its lunar destination.
