NASA, SpaceX Delay ISS Mission Launch Due to Bad Weather
NASA and SpaceX have delayed the Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station because of unfavorable weather expected at Cape Canaveral. The launch is now targeted for February 12, with four astronauts waiting in quarantine as teams prepare the Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft for the next launch window.

NASA’s GNEISS Mission Will Map Electric Currents Behind the Aurora
NASA’s GNEISS mission will launch from Alaska in early 2026 to probe the electric currents that drive auroras. Two rockets will fly through glowing auroral arcs, releasing sub-payloads whose radio signals act like a CT scan. By mapping electron density and direction, scientists aim to improve space weather forecasting and better protect satellite...

NASA Tests Nuclear Rocket Engine Designed for Faster Deep-Space Missions
NASA has completed its first full-scale nuclear rocket reactor tests since the 1960s, marking a major milestone for deep-space propulsion. More than 100 cold-flow tests validated hydrogen flow and system stability. Nuclear thermal rockets could significantly reduce travel time, radiation exposure, and payload constraints for future Moon and Mars mi...
