Nasa Moon Launch

China's aggressive space program also includes the recent launch of a new space station.

NASA completed its Artemis I inaugural Moon mission on Sunday, as the Orion capsule returned to Earth. The US space agency is on track for the next Orion flight around the moon that is targeted for 2024 with four astronauts, followed by a two-person lunar landing by 2025 and, ultimately, a sustainable Moon base.

NASA's Orion spacecraft was placed in lunar orbit Friday, officials said, as the much-delayed Moon mission proceeded successfully. A little over a week after the spacecraft blasted off from Florida bound for the Moon, flight controllers "successfully performed a burn to insert Orion into a distant retrograde orbit," the US space agency said on its ...

The aircraft also sent back images of Earth looking extremely tiny like a 'pale blue dot' from 230,000 miles away.

Nasa's Orion spacecraft today flew past the moon, five days after it was launched off the Florida coast in US. Orion is on a 25-day mission to orbit the moon before it returns safely to earth.

NASA's Artemis I was on course Wednesday for a crewless voyage around the moon and back hours after blasting off from Florida on its debut flight, half a century after the final lunar mission of the Apollo era. The 32-story-tall Space Launch System (SLS) rocket lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 1:47am EST (12:17pm IST), piercing the bl...

NASA's Artemis 1, the most powerful space rocket in history, has finally launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida today and is headed for the moon after a number of technical and natural difficulties.

NASA launched the most powerful rocket ever built on a journey to the Moon on Wednesday.

NASA on Wednesday successfully launched its Artemis I Moon rocket, the first step in an an ambitious plan by the US space agency to send humans back to the Moon. NASA hopes to build a sustained presence -- including a lunar space station -- to help prepare for an eventual mission to Mars.

The United States is about to launch the first mission of its return program to the Moon, Artemis. But why repeat what has already been done?

After two failed attempts, NASA plans to launch its new mega Moon rocket on Wednesday from Florida, less than a week after the massive machine withstood a hurricane.

NASA's Artemis I Moon rocket is scheduled to launch on November 16, and the countdown for the maiden flight of the orange and white behemoth has begun at the Kennedy Space Center. The Artemis 1 mission, a test flight without astronauts, represents the first step in the US space agency's plan to build a lasting presence on the Moon, and taking lesso...

NASA's Artemis I Moon rocket endured fierce winds and heavy rains from Hurricane Nicole on Thursday, days ahead of the expected launch of the spacecraft. Sustained winds of 136.8kmph tested the design limits of the 32-story-tall rocket and posing added risks to a spacecraft already beset by technical glitches. The Artemis I Moon rocket sustained mi...

NASA again rescheduled its long-delayed uncrewed mission to the Moon on Tuesday as Tropical Storm Nicole churned toward the east coast of Florida, officials said.

NASA rolled out its largest-ever rocket, Space Launch System (SLS), to a launch pad in Florida on Friday and will try again 10 days from now to blast off on a much-delayed uncrewed mission Artemis I to the Moon. After two launch attempts were scrubbed this summer because of technical problems, the rocket returned to the Vehicle Assembly Building ...
