Us Astronauts Land

SpaceX plans on Thursday to attempt another launch of Starship, the world's most powerful rocket that is vital to NASA's plans for landing astronauts on the Moon later this decade - and Elon Musk's hopes of eventually colonizing Mars.

A Houston-based company has landed America's first spaceship on the Moon in more than 50 years, part of a new fleet of NASA-funded, uncrewed commercial robots intended to pave the way for astronaut missions later this decade.

The United States is pushing back its planned return of astronauts to the surface of the Moon from 2025 to 2026, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said Tuesday amid technical challenges and delays.

The Artemis 2 mission is scheduled to take off next year, more than a year after its predecessor - Artemis 1.

Stepping up collaboration, National Aeronautics and Space Administration Administrator Bill Nelson on Tuesday said the US was open to helping India build its own space station. On a visit to India, Nelson said the US and India were working on plans to send an Indian astronaut to the International Space Station by the end of next year, while the In...

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.

The European Space Agency on Wednesday announced the names of seven astronauts that would be trained by the agency to embark on NASA's Artemis II moon mission. Astronauts from France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, and the UK will train for the US space agency's upcoming 'Lunar Gateway' orbiting module, and three astronauts will be selected for the missi...

NASA said it completed a fuelling test for its Artemis I SLS rocket, ahead of the planned launch date of September 27. The US space agency had aborted the launch of the Artemis I SLS rocket twice in the past, due to technical errors. However, NASA is yet to receive a waiver to avoid retesting the batteries on a system used to destroy the Artemis I ...

Boeing Starliner astronaut capsule returned from the International Space Station, landing safely in New Mexico on Wednesday. The CST-100 Starliner capsule returned less than a week after its launch from the Cape Canaveral US Space Force Base in Florida.

Japan and the United States says want to put the first Japanese astronaut on the Moon as the allies deepen cooperation on space projects. No non-American has ever touched down on the lunar surface, and Japan has previously said it hopes to achieve a Moon landing by the end of this decade.

NASA plans to use multiple private spacecraft to land astronauts on the Moon under the Artemis project. The US space agency will release a draft solicitation in the coming weeks to bring a second contender into the market for the development of a lunar lander alongside SpaceX.

Jeff Bezos offered to cover up to $2 billion (roughly Rs. 14,890 crores) in NASA costs if the US space agency awards his company Blue Origin a contract to make a spacecraft designed to land astronauts back on the Moon.

Russia's space agency criticised US President Donald Trump's "hysteria" about the first spaceflight of NASA astronauts from US soil in nine years, but also said on Sunday it was pleased there was now another way to travel into space.

Elon Musk's SpaceX simulated a successful emergency landing on Sunday in a dramatic test of a crucial abort system on an unmanned astronaut capsule, laying the foundation for its mission to fly NASA astronauts for the first time.

Boeing's new Starliner unmanned spacecraft returned to Earth on Sunday, landing in the New Mexico desert in the United States six days early after a clock problem prevented a rendezvous with the International Space Station.
