    NASA and SpaceX are adjusting the launch date for the agency’s Crew-13 mission to the International Space Station to address an oxidizer leak on Dragon’s propulsion system which was detected during standard prelaunch spacecraft processing. Joint NASA and SpaceX teams are performing additional tests and data review and will complete any necessary rework prior to […]

  • NASA’s Swift Restarts Science Observations

    NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has resumed operating two of its three science instruments, following the scaling back of a commercial mission that would have boosted Swift to a higher orbital altitude. That mission is now focused on demonstrating rendezvous technologies for in-space servicing. The Swift team turned on the mission’s Ultraviolet/Optical and X-ray telescopes […]

  • NASA Starts Artemis III Engine Install; Boosters, Crew Training Advance

    A rocket engine sits on a yellow transport platform inside a large industrial facility. Several technicians wearing hard hats and safety gear stand around the engine, inspecting and guiding it. The engine’s bell nozzle faces downward, and complex piping and hardware are visible at the top. Bright blue structural frames and elevated yellow walkways surround the work area, with additional equipment and machinery in the background.

    Technicians at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida began the installation of the four RS-25 engines in the core stage of the agency’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket that will launch the Artemis III crew next year. The milestone on Aug. 24 marks the next phase of core stage integration following the mating of the engine […]
