A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with a Dragon cargo spacecraft atop stands ready to launch to the International Space Station at 6:50 p.m. EDT today, weather permitting, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

NASA and SpaceX now are targeting no earlier than 6:50 p.m. EDT Wednesday, May 13, for the company’s 34th commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station.

SpaceX CRS-34, the next cargo mission to resupply the International Space Station, is counting down to its launch at 7:16 p.m. EDT today, weather pending, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

NASA’s C-20A aircraft completed a series of flights on April 29 over Central California to contribute new data to improve the accuracy of the region’s earthquake models and support NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar), the U.S.-India satellite mission launched last year to track hazards, monitor ecosystems and crops, and measure change in ice sheets and […]

The next cargo mission to resupply the International Space Station, SpaceX CRS-34, is slated for launch at 7:16 p.m. on Tuesday, May 12, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, weather pending.

As flight operations for NASA’s quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft accelerate, its team has picked up their testing tempo, completing two test flights in a single day for the first time. The first dual-flight day was on April 30 at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. Making its 11th and 12th flights, the X-59 […]

DNA-mimicking materials, quantum physics hardware, and spacesuit batteries wrapped up the work week aboard the International Space Station. The Expedition 74 crew also went into the weekend conducting a series of human research investigations studying the heart, the eyes, and psychology.

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft will get a boost from Mars on Friday, May 15, passing just 2,800 miles (4,500 kilometers) from the planet’s surface at some 12,333 mph (19,848 kph). The spacecraft will harness the planet’s gravitational pull to speed up and adjust its trajectory toward the metal-rich asteroid Psyche, one of the more unusual objects […]

A daring mission to lift NASA’s sinking Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is now one step closer to launch this June.

DNA-inspired therapies and space agriculture topped the research schedule aboard the International Space Station on Thursday. The Expedition 74 crew members also serviced a variety of lab hardware including a quantum physics facility, a spacesuit, and life support gear throughout their busy day.
